AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

AS we glance over the world to-
day and note the progress along
agricultural lines, we are impressed
with the great advancement that Is
being made in not only the raising
of products but in the marketing of
them as we'll.
BY scientific study of conditions
farmer succeeds in raising twice
as much on his farm this year as
last at the same cost, thus doubling
his apparent profit. However, un =
less he knows how to market his
crop his labor has been in vain, for
the packing, grading. etc, are as
Important as the producing If he
would obtain the highest prices, and
the railroad facilities also must be
considered. Many crop Of peaches
or melons has gone to decay through
failure to anticipate conditions and
plan ahead.
Soon the MARKETS OF THE
WORLD will be open to Southern
planters through the opening of the
Panama canal, but it is generally
conceded that Of all the States In
the Union, Florida will be the mos,
benefited by this vast enterprise.

Miss Celia Myrover Robinson, of
the Pensacola Journal, gifted little
lady who has done much for Flor
ida literature by her newspaper and
magazine work, Is now a pronounced
supporter of woman suffrage and is
the chairman of the press commit :
tee for the State League. Miss Rob-
inson is not impulsive. She inves-
tigates fully and thinks judicially
before she commits herself on vital
questions, but when she Is once
committed she Is an advocate we'll
worth having. She made a strong
address before the local league in
Pensacola Monday night, and the
Journal quotes her as saying, among
other things:
miss Robinson said that it would
not only pay Florida to have the
suffrage, but it did not pay any
State now not to have the suffrage
She called attention to a boast made
by the sporting element, recently
driven out Of California, to the effect
that they were going where thu

The New York Packer in a recent
issue gives a well deserved roast to
the irresponsible broker who stands
between the grower and the con-
sumner and whose dishonest methods
30 frequently rob the former of all
his profits. One of these rascals can
bring the whole body of brokers in
to disrepute, and the grower who
has been robbed or otherwise un-
fairly treated by him suspects all
the others. In time these fellows
may be eliminated, but until then
the grower should be very careful
whom he ships his stuff to, demand
all the guarantees Of good reputa :
t;on and business standing and not
be deceived by flash letterheads and
fair promises. The Packer con-
cludes its article with these words:
"These crooks are great detri-
ment to the fruit and produce IN
dustry and honest brokers are con
t,nuously calling attention to this
fact. They, as a rule, express the
belief, however. that very little re-
lief can be expected as long as the
