After storm, when the gulf is
''rougher" than usual, many persons
visit the water front, to watch the
waves rolling and breaking on the
bulkheads, and tossing like SO many
chips, great pieces of timber.
After casual view of the water,
the average person goes home. The
storm is passed, there is nothing else
of interest, and just where the storm
has lost itself is a matter of no con-
Germ.

the finest concentrates that it is pos
sible to fatten cattle on.
In addition to the tremendous
acreages in beans and corn the farm
ers have gone in largely for peanuts
upon which to keep their hogs grow
ing so that corn will be unnecessary
except for the few weeks before ship

Silos that We're few years ago
curiosities are now to be seen on
every side in the sections where the
cut-over lands admit of farming and
in several communities there are
farms in cultivation that will compare
fayorably in size with those of Kan
sas or Nebraska. There. are any
number of 500 acre farms and one
friend of mine in Santa Rosa county
had 100 acres in corn and beans the
present year.
Along other lines of progressive
endeavor West Florida is equally
alive. Recently, one of its banks
carried very large advertisement
calling attention to the need of the
community for several specific indus-
trial enterprises and pledging the
support of the bank to any reputable
person able to bring about the result
desired by the bank.
Perhaps no better indication of it's

/ the tremendous interest now being
exhibited in all of the West Florida
counties regarding good roads Every
county has its place on some trail or
highway and the roads are being
splendidly maintained and bond issues
for good improvement no longer are
fought.
] These progressive features Of West
| Florida it viii be noted are all based
upon the permanent keystone of sue
cessful agriculture, viz: olive Stock"
while some considerable interest is
displayed in the planting of fruit
trees of all sorts and the Pensacola
territory in few years is destined to
become the largest early peach ship
ping sc ,tion in America The ultimate
good to the derived from the millions
of acres of cut-over lands in this ter
ritory will be secured from live
stock. The lands are naturally
adapted to this phase of farming and
while careless fires have in years
past burned off grasses several times
each year and the heavy rains caused
some of the fertility to leach out, the
heavy sub-scpls with much less
manure than it is necessary on the
worn out soils of northern states viii
give returns from all crops that make
these virgin soils highly desirable.

This trip is probably without
parallel in the history Of the country.
These progressive men paid their
own expenses and gave ten days of
their time to 90 and see how their
neighbors in old established commun-
titles managed their live stock inter-
ests. They found that steers and
hogs were being profitably raised on
$500 land that had nothing on it but
blue grass, and, in many instances
Japan Clover and i.es n uda, and every
man in the party came home firmly
resolve that in future he would plant
less cotton, discontinue his fight on
Bermuda and raise grasses, just as
his neighbors in the older states have
done for generations. One Kentucky
breeder states that he had 300 acres
in blue grass and fifty acres in Ber-
muda and Japan Clover, and that
during a summer drought the small
pasture kept him from going out of
the lie stock business
This trainload of farmers returned
to their West Florida homes with
more enthusiasm than it is possible
to conceive regarding the natural adj
vantages Of their pr woods lands
and a number that started on the
trip luke-warm as to the profits to
be made in the live stock industry
returned ardent champions. One
man who was talking about selling
his dairy herd, told me the other day
that he had declined to sell even the
bull calves that had been dropped
since his return and was buying all
the stock he could get money to pay
for.
Two weeks later this party and
about two hundred others interested
in live stock raising met on the three
hundred acre Bermuda pasture on the
famous Magnolia Farm and after a
superb dinner served in the barn be-
tween the COW stanchions, proceeded
to organize the West Florida Stock
Raisers Association whose purpose
it is to study and gather together all
existing knowledge regarding the
raising of live stock of all kinds, that
may be applicable to West Florida
conditions, and by cooperative mar
keting, economic management, proper
pastures and balanced rations secure
to the stock raiser the full returns

The cattle owners Of West Florida
are thoroughly acquainted with the
tremendous economic loss Of raising
live stock without the profit to which
they are entitled through the superb
natural endowments possessed by
West Florida for raising live stock
Of all kinds. In addition to the watts
constructed partially at public ex-
pense, which, of course, are used
without cost by all of the citizens,
innumerable private parties have
constructed watts wholly at their own
expense and invite their neighbors
to make free use Of them.
AS a result of this development
work sSpumber Of large land owners
who have heretofore not owned cattle,
except the mules and oxen engaged
in their timbering and naval stores
operations, have gone into stock rails
ing on large scale. Quite 2 num-
Der of them have built up their herds
numbering one thousand head and
upwards and these cattle are being
carefully looked after. All of these
stock raisers have nothing but pure
bred bulls in their herd and few
years of breeding is going to show
some astonishing results. Several of
them have imported Herefords and
a lot of the so-called immunized pure
bred Herefords.
And the stock growers likewise
realize the Importance Of breeding up
their cattle so that they will have a
Eood-sized steer for market in seven
or eight months instead of stunted
one in as many years, and we are of
the firm opinion that in the course of
asthe next ten years West Florida will
be producing more baby beef for the
market than any other section Of the
United States.
Interests in the propaganda to dis
courage cross-and in-breeding, which
so far has been the practice on the
open range, the stock raisers visited
farms in West Florida, Southern Ala
bama and Georgia where progressive
and modern methods of breeding and
grading up the stock have been in
practice for the past few years, and
in August, twenty seven men repre-
senting the small farmer, the dairy,
man, the cattleman raising stock on
the open range; the naval stores
operator and the saw-mill owner char
tered special pullman and took an
eight days tour of the states Of Ken
lucky, and Tennessee, visiting some
twelve or fifteen points and going
out in automobiles to the famous
beef, dairy and hog breeding estab-
lishments that have made blue grass
synonymous with quality.

Ships That Don't Arrive.
Many a ship has left port never to

ship, the bark Asian, which loaded at
Pensacola.z This bark, carrying car
go, went to sea, proudly carrying the
ensign of her nationality. Weeks
heightened into months; until now,
nine months after leaving Pensacola,
she is reported among the missing
ships. Whatever was her fate-what-
ever was the fate of her crew, will
never be known. 1t will remain a
mystery Of the sea, like so many, be-
fore and after.
