POSSIBILITIES GOOD
IN TOURIST EMPIRE
BAY COUNTY OFFERS MUCH,
SAYS AUTHORITY-ALL THE
NATURAL ADVANTAGES ARE
WITH WEST FLORIDA.

1--WE are in new tourist empire, so
new that it has not the facilities nor
the improvements of the older favor
ed sections, but a region rich in cli-
mate, scenic and pleasure giving at
fractions winter and summer, yet
where the first steps of development
are yet to take place" said Mr..
Drummond, addressing a group of
Panama City business men in intro
ducing the secretary and purposes Of
the West Florida Chamber of Com
merce. at is to Bay county that
the investor in tourist resort posi-
bilities will find it profitable to turn p
said Mr.. Drummond. Those advan-
tages which other sections have ex-
pended millions to secure have been
placed at our hand, and they have
only to be seen by the prospective
investor for them to be converted into
the same kind of resorts that draw
their thousands every season.-Milli-

COLLECT DATA
ON CONSTRUCTION
OF ROADS HERE
STATE ROAD COMMISSIONERS is
GATHERING DATA RELATIVE
TO CONSTRUCTION AND MAIN
TENANCE

The Florida state road department,
authorized by the last legislature, is
now organized and is ready actively
to take up the work for which it was
created. A letter to this effect has
bee sent to all county boards and
circuit clerks in the state
The letter is signed by William F.
Cooke, state road commissioner, and
is as follows:
The act of the legislature creating
this department provides that it shall
collect data relative to road construc-
ton and maintenance, make maps of
the several counties and when re-
quested by the county commissioners,
furnish engineering help.
We have to date compiled maps of
twenty-eight of the fifty-two counties
of the state and will make up maps
of the remaining twenty-four counties
as rapidly as the necessary data can
be secured. When completed, prints
of these maps, showing all county
roads, will be furnished free of cost
to the county commissioners of the
several counties on request for some.
We are also ready to furnish assist
ance to the several counties in max
ing surveys and in preparing plans,
estimates and specifications for road
and bridge work This help will be
furnished free of cost to the counties,
except that the counties will be ex-
pected to pay the actual travelling ex-
penses of the engineer while engaged
on any special piece Of work
1t is the earnest wish of this de-
partmtnt to cooperate with the coun-
ty commissioners all over the state of
Florida and to be of real and practical
service to them in carrying on their
road work.
The law also provides that quar-
terly report of all road work done in
the several counties, shall be filed in
the office of this department, and we
believe that these reports, if properly
handled, can be made of considerable
value to those charged with the super
vision of the road work throughout
the state. We hope, therefore, that
you will cooperate with US in getting
up these statements in such a manner
that the cost of the several items OF
work may be clearly shown and the

HOLMES COUNTY
SOIL PRODUCES
MANY FINE CROPS
100 POUNDS ONIONS FROM

FORTY CARS OF WATER
MELONS WILL ROLL FROM

That Holmes county soil will pro-
duce a great variety of vegetables is
long established fact, but that
such fine large onions as those raised
in her garden right here in Bombay
by Mrs. Wright can be produced win
be surprise to many, including some
of the older gardeners. From a ten
cent package of seed, with proper cul-
tivation and care, Mrs. Wright has
raised one hundred pounds of onions.
Watermelons have been moving in
carload lots this week from Holmes
county, several cars having been
shipped from Esto and Mona and
several others will be ready to move

that about forty cars will be shipped
from Holmes county this season.

Apropos this tick business, your

a dipping vat He said that the Good
Lord put ticks here and flies and mos
quitoes for a purpose, and that they
were all on their job when they
sucked the life blood from the cow,
and impregnated mans food with
poisoned germs. These sort of men
we have always with US. Now people
are coming into Mulat, buying land
and developing our fertile soils, but
we do not run after these sort of peo-
pie. They may be all right as church
members or neighbors, but as practi-
cal business farmers they are strictly
off their job.-Milton Gazette.

WILL NEW RAILROAD
COME TO LYNN HAVEN?

Prospects for another railroad for
Lynn Haven in the very near future
are very promising. 1t is strongly in
timated by people in a position to
know that the Atlantic and st An
drews Bay railroad, that now runs
from Dothan, Ala, to Panama City,
wants to come on around to Lynn
Haven and follow the coast line, tax
ing in the West Bay Mills, Naval
Stores and other cities along the bay.
The indications are very strong that
it will not be long until the proposed
extension will be an assured fact.
. Mr.. Drummond, president of the
st Andrews Bank, is working on the
proposition and believes the road is
bound to come to Lynn Haven. Such
an extension would be a splendid
thing for the road and for the towns
and county along the bay-Lynn Ha-
ven Tribune.

STATION INVESTIGATES
WATERMELON DISEASE

Inquiries from several growers of
various parts of the state indicate
that watermelons, are affected with
disease this spring DR.. G. D. Sherba-
koff, assistant plant pathologist to
the University of Florida Experiment
Station, found only two prominent
diseases in a recent visit to some of
the melon sections These were bios
som and rot and the wilt Blossom
end rot is probably due to the effect
of sudden dry and hot weather, and
is probably beyond control under
present methods of culture.
The wilt is prevalent in many sec
tions. 1t is caused by fungus which
can live in the soil about twelve years

MERGE WILL FINANCE NEWS
PAPER ADVERTISING.

West Florida's publicity campaign
is expected to be started about Sep
TENDER 1, according to letter re-
ceived in Pensacola from Secretary
Emmett of the Chamber of Com
merce. The letter states that many
contributions have been made to the
subscription list, and sufficient funds
will probably be in hand at that time.
The plan has been suggested that
the money be expended for inserting
small advertisements in many of the
papers of the county seats in the
northern states, instead of a few
large advertisements in the great
daihes.

HUCKLEBERRY CROP
PAYS IN w. FLORIDA

The remarkable success obtained
from rabbit Eye" huckleberries in
this section is shown by an article in
the Okaloosa News concerning the
large crop of w G. Sapp, who lives
three miles north of Crestview.
Mr.. Sapp has over three acres
planted in this fruit, which is just
maturing, and it is stated that he
sells several hundred dollars worth
of berries from the trees each season.
The trees are practically the same
variety as those growing wild over
the river swamps and need practically
no cultivation.

LIKES CONDITIONS;
PURCHASES LAND

DR.. H. H. Smith, prominent ply
stefan of Sumner, Miss, is the latest
land purchaser. He bought 25 acre
tract of Capt. IS, bay frontage, and
his son, T. D. Smith, is on the spot,
getting in readiness to build a house,
fence and prepare for setting out an
orange grove this winter. DR.. Smith
said he did not know there was in the
state of Florida so fertile a soil as
this along Escambia bay. He was de-
lighted with the section and took an
option on the Tom Butt place, which
he will probably purchase for rela-
tive.-Milton Gazette.

Therefore, the only effective methods

Immediately Of course it is too late

ers should note the effects Of the dis
ease now and resolve to prevent it
next year
That watermelons cannot be grown
several years in succession on the
same land is probably due to this dis
ease. Wherever growers fail to treat
their seed, several plans almost in
variably show the trouble. Enough
spores, therefore, are produced to
contaminate the entire field. Flowing
