YEARS WORK OF DEMONSTRA-
TON AGENTS GOOD

Gainesville, Fla, Nov. 4-The work
for the past year just closing has
been very gratifying for the stand
point of the work achieved by the
demonstration agents in the coun-
ties. The yield Of corn is the larg-
est in the history of the State. The
winter cover crops, particularly the
grains, have proved exceptionally
satisfactory. Some sections of the
State suffered from dry weather dur
ing certain periods of the year, but
where the soil was properly prepared
and instructions given by the agents
were followed by the farmers they
did not suffer much from the dry
weather that prevailed. This, in it.
self, was an object lesson all over
the State as to what could be done
when proper methods were adopted.
The agents are now busy winding
up the corn club work and the few
counties that have already had their
exhibits have been very satisfactory.
The largest yield, so far, has been
los bushels per acre produced at
nominal cost. This is higher than
anything We had last year and it is
quite possible we will have even a
higher figure than this in some
ether county.
Mr.. G. L. Harrington has been fIr-
pointed as Assistant State Agent in
Charge of the Boys Club Work in

taken effect the first of October He

THE CHILL IN FLORIDA'S
WELCOME TO TOURISTS

Here in South Florida, which we
are all seeking to make the chief
winter resort of the nation, in some
respects we take too much for
granted and there is room for us to
learn number of very useful things
to the end that we may get the
tourists, keep them all the winter
and make them so satisfied that we
will get more the winter following
Mr.. Richard Edmunds, the dis
tln9uished and observant editor of
the Manufacturers Record, a publ
cation widely read in perhaps every
State in the Union, has been making
study of Florida and Florida con
ditions. He is the chief of Southern
promoters through the far-reaching
publicity of his great journal, and
he is the sincere friend of Florida.
He has been to see us both winter
and summer, and as a winter visitor
seeking personal comfort, he Caught
on to at least one serious defect in
our hospitality to the tourist, TO
which he calls our attention ard
which our people, especially our
hotel and boarding house prop
rietors should be quick to remedy.
Many others have noticed the
same defect and undoubtedly South
Florida has made enemies and lost
tourists because Of il. They have
valid grievance against us for that
reason and the grievance should be
removed at once. Here Is a part of
what the Record says:
''Florida hotels, on the other hand.
to a very large extent, go on The
principle that Il Ia always warm in
Florida, which is not true, and that
1t Is not necessary to keep steam go
ing so that it may be available when
needed. There is not a spot in Flor
Ida which is warm enough every day
In the winter not to need steam heat,
and yet there are some big hotels in
Florida where steam heat is not
available except it be in the halls
or lobby, and then it is by no means
always available at the time when
needed. One day in cold hotel has
often driven tourists from Florida
and made them vow never to return.
Many people go to Atlantic City,
prefcrring to stand the cold of win
ter days in preference to going to
Florida, because they knew they are
absolutely certain to have thorough
ly heated hotels and be able on every
bright day to walk or ride in rolling
chairs up and down its wonderful
board walk, and they can find amuse-
ments without end. Something is be-
ing done every hour Of the day for
their entertainment.
Until the South takes hold of these
problems as seriously and handles
them as vigorously as Atlantic City
has done, 1t will not measure up to
its opportunities. Thousands of
people who go to Atlantic City dur
Ing the winter should. and doubtless
would, be drawn to Florida If they

HONORING THE MEMORY OF
A GREAT GEORGIAN

Today is the Tooth anniversary of
the Lirlh of Dr. Crawford w. Long.
one of the most distinguished and
famous OF Georgians who was the
first of the medical profession to use
either as an anaesthetic. On the eve
of the centennial of the birth of this
splendid man there comes the an
nOuncement that his right to this
/ distinction is undisputed. For many
years some of the friends of DR.. C..
| +. Jackson of Boston contended that
he was entitled to the honor of dis
covering the value of ether in this
connection, but the last issue of the
journal of the American Medi-
cal Association carries evidence that
DR.. Long used ether for the first
time upon any patient on March 80,
1912, when he anaesthetized James
Venable, after which he removed
two wens from the patients neck.
For removing these wens DR.. Long
received 81, and in addition he was
paid fifty cents for the use of the
ether. There were two operations,
one for each wen, Mr.. Venable stipu-
latlng that if the anaesthetic was
successful in its effects and the first
wen removed without pain the sec
ond one was to be removed in like
manner
DR.. Long account book recording
this transaction is certified by P. F.
Hinton, clerk of the superior court of
Jackson county, Georgia, as being "a
correct copy of an original entry
made in his book for medical services
for the year 1912 by DR.. Crawford
Long. F" The Originally of the docu-
nents are in possession of Mrs. Tay-
lor of Athens, daughter of DR..
Long, and facsimiles are in the arch
ives of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, of which DR.. long was a grad
uate.
ut appears from the evidence col
lected that c. F. Jackson of Boston,
who asserted that he discovered
ether, did not communicate his ideas
upon the subject to any one until
~Si5.
While to DR.. Long goes the credit !;
without further dispute of having |
made discovery that has done more
for the lengthening of life of man !
and alleviating his sufferings than |
any other single thing perhaps his
fellow doctors and fellow citizens |
:: enerally have done but little to sus-
tain his memory. In the public
square of the little town of Jefferson
in Jackson county there stands a
modest monument to the memory of
this great friend of humanity, but so
far as we know this is the only tri-
butte to him in a public place. The
state of Georgia has been too poor
to carry ont the expressed wishes of
the legislature by placing a statue
to DIR, Long in the National Hall of
Fame at Washington, although it
has been decreed that one should go
there at some time. During the year
which marks his centennial there
4
which would secure for him a place
in this national I?allery.
DR.. Longs memory will be honor
cd in modest way by the physicians
of Savannah tonight 1t is pleasing
to know they have decided to carry
out an appropriate program upon
this occasion. Press.
