A Lesson from New York

EDITOR HERALD, Strip
in the great city of New York, it
seems to be the practice that, as
soon as a street is nicely concret-
ed and asphalted, contractor
comes along and tears it up for
some purpose or another. 1t is
said that this process has caused,
in a large measure, the great
debt of that city, debt larger
than that of the us. government.
1t is a long way from Punta Cor
da to New York, but lessons
should travel farther than that.
We are about to improve and
beautify two of our principal
streets and, unless we want them
torn up here and there, with the
additional cost to the owner and
the town, every separate lot own
er should comply with the sewer
ordinance and make connection
with the mains before the i'm
provement begins. HANK.

Buyers Should Report Diseased
Nursery Stock

Many buyers report that they
are receiving diseased or insect
infested nursery stock, according
to f. M. O'Byrne, nursery inspec-
tor to the State Plant Board. The
standard requirements for stock
have been raised recently and
they will be raised higher, but
still there may be room for COM
plant concerning some shipments.
Mr.. O'Byrne urges all growers
who receive nursery stock that is
not up to standard to report the
matter to him at Gainesville. Give
the certificate tag number, the
name and address of the consign-
or, and send portions Of the most
severely infested or infected
stock as evidence.
The inspection service is just
as anxious to raise the standard
as the people are. A nursery is
not certified until it has been in
spected and found free of an ex-
cessiye number of insect pests or
dangerous diseases, but there is
always a chance that some dis
eased stock may be concealed. 1t
is impossible for the inspection
department to inspect every ship
ment, and for that reason the pur-
chaser should act as his own in
spector, He will thus protect
his neighbors and the
whole state, and help to make the
inspection service more efficient.

DESCRIPTIVE BULLETIN
of the College of Engineering
University of Florida, With
y Illustrations

The aim and scope of the Col
lege of Engineering of the Uni
versity of Florida is given in a
new bulletin just issued. Florida
needs Florida trained men to take
charge of its reclamation projects,
swamp drainage, road building,
improvement of harbors and wa
terways, management of public
utilities, sanitation problems, and
every branch of engineering de-
velopment. 1t is with hope of
supplying these needs that the
College of Engineering is main
tanned.
The youth who intends to take
up engineering for his life work
will find no broader field than
Florida. His training should be
taken in the institution which
is making a special study of, and
giving special instruction in, the
problems with which he is to
come in contact.
The bulletin contains numerous
illustrations of the laboratories
and equipment of the College and
of classes in civil, electrical, and
engineering. 1t also
contains statement of the de-
partments of instruction, curricu-
la and degrees, expenses, scholar
ships, and student life at the Uni
versity. Copies of the bulletin
may be had by request to the Uni
versity of Florida, Gainesville,

Diversification Pays

Hats off to the one gallus man,
the one horse farmer. HI. G. Teat,
Walnut Hill, Escambia county,
and his lonesome mule produced
$500 worth of crops on thirty
six acres of land. How did he do
lit? Listen. He had no tradi-
tional prejudices for eco n an
cotton" to hinder him. Instead
of stalking his all on single crop
he diversified.
According to the report of s.
w. Hiatt, demonstration agent
for the University of Florida Elk
tension Division, Mr.. Teat raised
800 bushels of corn, seven tons of
velvet beans, enough peanuts to
fatten hogs for 1000 pounds of
meat, pasture for twelve head of
cattle since his crops were har-
vested, $S8 worth of cotton, ITS
gallons of strip and 225 bushels
of potatoes.
Fertilizer? Yes, sixteen dol
lars worth of acid phosphate was
all he used. The remainder of
the fertilizer needed was supplied
from the crops and livestock
grown.
Mr.. Teat does not live out of a
tin can and a paper sack. He
believes in raising everything for
his table that his land will pro-
duce. He has a good garden the
year around, as well as poultry,
eggs, milk and butter. In other
words he believes in paying him.

consumes.

Why Patronize Foreign Plants?

A matter of no small import
ance to Florida is covered in an
interview with a Lake county cit
izen which we publish elsewhere.
That large sums of money an
nually are paid by Florida enter
prises to printing concerns locat-
ed in other States for work that
could be as well or better done
here is beyond dispute,
The printing business is one of
manufacturing and service. 1t
employs high class mechanical
talent and men of brains. Work
.ers engaged in it are generally de-
sirable citizens for any communi-
ty.
1t seems the height of folly for
Florida not to support her print
ers in preference to out-of-State
houses. So long as so much
printing goes to foreign concerns
there will be lack of encourage
ment to the other manufactures
our people are trying to interest
in Florida. The Florida Metrop-
oils can speak without self-int ar
est in this matter, since it main
tains no jeh printing department.

Pay-Up Week

February 81 to 26, inclusive,
will be pay-up week all over this
country, and every citizen is pre-
sumed to walk in to his creditors
and square up his accounts. The
good citizen will do this if it is
within the bounds of reasonable
possibility. The man who fails to
square up because hedoesn t care,
is not worthy of further credit
and should not receive it.
Business men are not allowed
by their creditors to wait until
February 81 or 26 They must
forward their checks every thirty
days or their credit is shut off. 1t,
therefore, becomes a great hard
ship to the business man when he
is compelled to pay his own bills
promptly and yet is required to
carry the accounts of hundreds of
people for indefinite periods.
We have a lot of faith in our
people and we believe they will
walk right up and square their
little accounts between the 21st
and Goth, and we don't for one
minute think they will forget the
editor in their rounds. We have
faith that this will be one time
when they will not forget to
think.-Fort Meade Leader.

Laws Reasonable Doubt"

Ordinarily everybody knows what
reasonable doubt" means, and what
the Law means when It says that the
prisoner cannot be convicted If the
Jury has a reasonable doubt of his
innocence. But when the judge gives
a dozen instructions on reasonable
doubt, it Is clear that nobody could
understand what is meant.
st. Augustine, when questioned
about a doctrine of the church, said:
'If you ask me, l don't know; but
IL you don't ask me, know very
we'll"
The result is. in any important case,
that the confused jury goes out to find
a verdict, taking with them an arm
full of instructions, Melville Davisson
Post writes in Saturday Evening Post.
Half of these instructions will tAll
them that If they believe certain
things, they must find the prisoner
guilty and the other half will tell them
that If they believe other things they
must acquit the prisoner, and some
times the instructions will be so
drawn that, upon the statement of the
same beliefs one instruction tells them
to acquit the prisoner and the other
tells them to convict him. So they
do not know what to do, and probably
toss up penny on the verdict.
