Natal hay. Florida's greatest forage
crop. is to begrown extensively in
the New Port Richey district. Hun
dreds of acres have already been
planted by enterprising settlers and
in the spring the acreage will be
still further increased.
Experiments with Natal hay in
this vicinity during the past year
have clearly demonstrated that there
Is no better soil or climate in Florida
for this crop. and some remarkable
yields have recorded by settlers
who at first were inclined to be very
sqeptical Since then there has been
a rush to secure seed, and almost
every settler expects to raise Natal
hay the coming year.
The Port Richey Company. in or
der to encourage the new industry,
has been furnishing seed to it's GUS
toners at actual cost, allowing them
to pay for same after the first crop
of hay is secured. So great has been
the demand for seed all over the
State that the price has almost
doubled in the past sixty days. and II
is believed there will be a great short
age of seed until after the first cut
ting this spring, when it will again
be plentiful and cheap.

in growth, some idea can be gained
Of the importance Of this wonderful
crop to those favored sections where
it can be successfully raised.
The returns from Natal hay are
large and Immediate This solves
the problem that confronts every
citrus grove owner. namely: "What
quick and profitable crop can l raise
to keep me in ready money until my
citrus grove matures?"
The profits from raising citrus
fruits in lorida are well known.
Those who own land here look for
ward to the time when they can come
to Florida and develop paying cit
rus grove. This is one Of the most
delightful and most profitable in
dustries imaginable. However, 1t
takes from four to five years to bring
a citrus grove into profitable bearing.
By planting Natal hay in the young
grove enough returns should be Sc
cured to pay the cost Of bringing the
grove into bearing and to give the
owner a good living besides.
The following article, from the
Clairmont Clarion, shows what may
be reasonably expected from the cul-
tivation of Natal hay:
" A week or so ago we told of the
fine bunch of Natal grass brought in
by H. Gard. Just a few days after

The writer has visited nearly ev-
cry state in the Union. also Canada
and Mexico. and has never written
a knock" on any section. Every
State visited had enough good points
to torn the basis for any written i'm
pressions we might have given to
the public. But now and then we
find a so-called tourist, fitting
through the State on a cheap round
trip ticket, and taking back to his
home a mass Of misinformation that
would be highly ludicrous but for
the tendency 1t has to give those who
have never visited the State an en-
tirely false conception of 1t. One Of
this species of cattle is fellow
named Metcalf from Fergus Falls,
Minnesota, who gave the papers of
that town an interview which proves
him to be either a hopeless ass or a
malicious liar. According to him
Florida is desolate region, where
there is little to be seen except pine
stumps and dead pine trees where
the negroes many times out-number
the whites; where one never sees a
good farm house, and where the peo-
pie live off the people from the
North It would be poor living IL
they were denendent upon the Met
calf type. We have here in Lake
land Minnesota people who have
made pronounced successes in this
desolate re7ion, and il would be in
teresting to place their ideas of Flor
ida by the side of those of this
blatherskite. But, then. this Metcaf
persons neiphbors probably know
him. and consequently believe ex-
actly the opposite OF what he says.

Frank j. GOodnow, OF Baltimore.
Md, before the meeting OF tho
American Bar Association.
DR.. Goodnow. whose subject was
Private Rights and Administrative
Discretion" declared that the great
changes in our economic and social
list make such an institution noe
essary. Ho suggested that 1t might
preferably be established in connec-
tIon with one OF the large unlyer-
stiles.
The gradual change in tho United
States from an agricultural to an in
dustrial life, ana the great increase
OF urban communities" said Dr..
Goodnow, have presented problems
for tho solution or which little IL
any provision was made in the com
mon or statute law which we Ameri-
cans received from England. English
methods OF dealing with what have
been spoken OF as matters OF police
were based on the law OF nuisance.
This law differentiated private from
public nuisances, and apparently au-
thoriZed any one to abute public
nuisance, while only one specially in
jured might abate n private nuisance.
Il ON al
for anything in the nature OF n pub
lie authority whose duty 1t was to
promote the public safety and con
.yenlence. Indeed. almost tho only
ways in which public authorities par
tlcipated in nuisance ATTACHMENTS
were, FIRST, in tho indictment and
prosecution of public nuisances; and,
second, in determining, In tho case
nuisances had been privately abated,
what were the rights OF the parties
concerned. For individuals who at
tempted to exercise their legal rights
in the abatement OF private or public
nuisances did SO ut the risk OF hav-
Ing the courts hold that whRt had
been ubated was not nuisance.
THE whole English law on this
subject is q good example OF those
methods OF self help which are char
acterlstic Of rather primitive social
conditions and of an undeyeloped
legal system based on individuallstic
rather than social conceptions"
Referring to administrative reg
ulatlons, DR.. Goodnow asserted that

thority Keeps within the power which

Or. Goodnow.
In the matter OF taxation" no

annlyze administrative action gem
orally, be said 10 DO taken with the
purpose OF expressing in the con-
crete case the will OF the state. Thus

tailed such statutes and regulations

what amount In dollars and cents or
taY he will have to pay before de-
cision has been reached by the COM
petent administrative authorities"
Tho speaker asserted there Is a
large number OF important cases
where privileges, ms the law regards
them, rather than rights, are IN
question.
Most Of the cases involving priv
ileges, the exercise OF which Is de-
pendent upon administrative de-
cisons, have probably arisen under
the federal government" he said.
There Is, however. one rather large
class OF cases which are regulated
by state law. These cases have to do
with licenses which permit the In
dividual TO do what would be IL
legal did he not possess such IL
cense.n
Or. Coodnow added that tho UNI
fortunate position in which the I'm
Idlyldual Is placed over against ad-
ministratlye authorities is a con-
tinual source OF corruption.
Where he has no right to n hear
ing and no effective judicial rem
edy," he declared, ut Is almost
certain that there will be many cases
in which the inspectors upon whose
report orders to be summarily exc
cuted are issued will be paid to re-
port conditions not as they are, or
will extort blackmail from the indi-
vidual before they will report those
conditions as they are. The danger
is all the greater in this country
because Of the incapacity and lack OF
character OF many OF the employees
in the civil service OF our cities,
where the conditions are such as to
demand more than elsewhere admin
istratlye regulation and control"
