The year 1916 will go down in the
history Of the generation as one Of
the most bountiful crop years known.
You can not meet with farmer in
Putnam county who has planted a
crop and tended it, but who is bub-
bling with the JOY Of living. Q. I.
Roberts of Grandin is an example.
He said: why, man, you ought to
see my crops Of corn and sweet pota-
toes; they are the finest ever; sell
everything I make right there at
home: don't have to hustle to find a
market. people come to me; killed a
couple hogs the other day and was
going to send them to Lake City cold
storage. but people came and begged
for it and l sold it right at home at
fancy prices, for it was fancy meat.

Recruiting agents for northern con-
struction companies have been busy in
Florida this summer and thousands
of negro Iaborers have been induced
bv the promise of higher wage and
free transportation to leave for these
northern camps. Many of them will
regret their move ere the frosts Of
winter settle upon the country to
which they have gone. Many Of
these negroes have been imposed up
on. Florida has no surplus of labor
and the work Of these recruiting
agents has already seriously crippled
Florida industries. Some Of the
camps about Palatka are greatly
handicapped for lack of labor, and yet
it is said that these recruiting agents
are headed this way. Of course the
laborers have the right to go, but if
these Yankee construction camp
agents persist in coming into the
State and enticing away our laborers
by all sorts of promises, Florida ci-
ties have also some rights-foremost
of which is the right Of self-protec-
tion. We can at least put q prohi-
bitive license upon the business Of re-
cruiting Palatka ought to do that
thing now-before the arrival of the
recruiting agents.

The Putnam county farmer who will
work has the softest kind of snap
making a living; trouble with most
Of EN- is they like to whittle and loaf,
which they do and then make a liv-
ING. Sometimes think just making
a living is altogether too easy for US
Florida farmers; if we had to get out
and die for our living like the farm
ers in other parts of the country,
maybe we'd be better off. But Put
nam is certainly reveling in big crops
this season, and our people are going
to make some money" Roberts is
only one of hundreds who are talk

A number of St. Johns county tax
PAYERS believing their taxes to be un-
reasonably high and discriminating in
assessing values, sought to enjon the
county tax collector from collecting
taxes. The case was heard before
Judge Gibbs last Saturday, when the
Judge held that the proceedings had
been started too late, The judge did
not pass upon the merits of the case.
The county delinquent list in St.
Johns county is unusually lengthy
and like that in Putnam county, very
little of it was paid up on the day of
