FLORIDA FARMERS COM
NIT CRIMES AGAINST
THEMSELVES.

The Dade City Banner calls
attention to the fact that thirty
loaded cars of grain and hay are
shipped into Florida daily three
hundred and sixty-fve days in
each year, to be paid for in hard
cash out Of the pockets of sleep
benumbed Floridians. This
statement reveals but one Of
many neglected opportunity
crimes which Floridians have for
years committed against them
selves.
There is no county in Florida
which canot produce. at small
cost, more hay than is needed
for home consumption, and a
majority of the counties can pro-
duce grains in abundance. No
greater amount of preparation is
needed to bring about an immed-
late reversal of this unpardon-
able state OF affairs, and 1t Flor
ida farmers would only take ad-
vantage of the opportunities that
nature thrusts upon them. not
more than two or three years
would pass before hays and
grains were being shipped from
instead of into the state. These
products would bring profit,
which would be increased to an
immense degree if they were
used in feeding cattle and hogs
bred for the northern markets.
Truly, Floridians throw away
more opportunities than the peo-
pie of many states possess.

FOUND
(By Associated Press.

Berlin, March 31.-An auto
graph copy of Goethe's comedy,
The Accomplices, written in
his youth has been found among
the effects of an aged woman
who recently died in Dresden.
The manuscript was in a pack
ct that had not been open for
forty years. 1t had long been
known that there were in exis-
tence two copies of this early
comedy-which was written in
I760-but Goethe researches
had hunted vainly for it. The
owner left a will giving the
manuscript to the Goethe Ar
chive in Weinar.
The will place the value of the
manuscript at 10000 marks
($5,ooo); and the city has re-
quired the payment of inheri-
lance taxes thereon at that val
uation.
