RAILROAD COMMISSION OF THE
STATE OF FLORIDA
Tallahassee, April |, 1916

Tallahassee, April 1, 1916
To Interested Shippers:
For many years there has been
demand for REIMBURSEMENT of
irelgnt rates to interior Florida
points, which would enable those de.
string to do so to engage in the Job
bling or Wholesale business.
Responsive to this demand, the
Legislature of 1913 passed what has
become to be known as the Long
and Short Haul Law" 1t was
thought by supporters of this law
that it would meet the needs of the
interior centers of Florida.
After many hearings and exhaus.
tive investigation of the matter. the
Railroad Commissioners were con.
WINGED that the application CT the
Long and Short Haul Law" would
not accomplish the results its sup
porters had expected. The Commits.
sioners became convinced tia, there
was but one means of relief for these
interior points and that was the an.
plication of Interstate carload rates
on heavy commodities from western
points. They, therefore, took up this
phase of the question with the off
Gals OF the Atlantic Coast Line and
Seaboard railroads, and in the course
of a number of conferences with
them, finally agreed upon a scale of
interstate commodity rates which
they agreed to put in which the COM
missioners believe will enable those
cities and towns of the interior. who
desire to engage in the Wholesale bus
mess to do so.
1t has taken sometime for the car.
riers to work these rates out, for
the reason that they had to be made
so as not to violate the 4th section
of the Interstate Commerce Law,
upon which all the rates in the South.
east have recently been made TO con.
form. The Commissioners are graf.
flied. however to announce that these
rates will become effective on the
18th day of May. 1916, and will be
found in Washburn's Freight Tariff

LOCAL PAPER BEST ADvER-
Using MEDIUM FOR FARMERS

CFrom Agricultural News Service
Bulletin University of Florida
1t is an established fact that the
local newspaper is, the most infiuen-
tiaI institution in any community
1 Why? Because it is nearest the peo-
pie The farmer reads his local pa
per faithfully from cover to cover. 1t
is his library. That is why the local
paper, the country weekly or daily,
is the best advertising medium.
Farmers, heretofore, have not adj
vertised much, but they could do so
to an advantage. Men in business far
, less competitive than farming find it
profitable to advertise. OF course
there are many staple farm products
which could not be advertised profit
ably. But there are others which
would pay well as a result of syste-
matte advertising, according to NJ. n.
Beeler, instructor in agricultural
journalism in the University of Flor
ida College of Agriculture.
Many products go to waste which
could be sold if the consumer knew
that they were available. Livestock,
poultry and poultry products, butter,
milk, wood, fruits, vegetables, home
cured meats, canned goods, seed corn,
velvet beans, cowpeas, peanuts, and
a hundred other things lend them
selves to advertising. The local pa
per goes to every corner of the coun-
ty and to various sections of adjoin-
ing counties This is the range of
territory in which profitable market
ing can be done from the farm. The
farmer who advertises such produce
as that previously mentioned Will
have no trouble in finding buyers in
his locality. The home paper is the
best medium for advising consumers
that this produce is for sale.

The launching of a $4,000 cor
poration in Lakeland for the purpose
OF developing the agricultural and
livestock interests of the section con-
tiguous, Is a wholesome sign of the
times. Berries and citrus fruits are
attractive and remunerative crops,
but they lack the substantial char
acter, the value in soil improvement
and the freedom from insect and ele-
mental disturbances, that character
1ze the staple leeuminous and forage
crops, and the live stock that follow
as a corollary product. The perma-
nent prosperity Of any city depends
upon the fostering and upbuildinp of
the farming interests in the country
back Of it; and Lakeland citizens
can invest money in no wiser. OF
more profitable way than in an effort
to build up stable agricultural sys.
tenn in this section, which will in.
sure successful poultry raising
dairyng, the establishment of meal
packing houses and other features
That tend to solid and permanent
prosperity.
