FlOrda's Live Stock Advantages.

Tampa Times: Since the day on
winch its first edition went to press,
nearly 80 years ago, The Times has
pcrsia.cntly contended that Florida
should be made one of the greatest
live a,ock states Of the union. In
fact, 10 one industry has received as
much space in this paper, with the
possible exception Of the local cigar
industry and each years develop
mcnta make it more evident that
Flordjans should work conccrtedly
md e@ergeticalIy to bring about re-
alzation of this dream.
In addressing the English house of
lords recently, Niscount Harcourt cx-
pressed the belief that there will be a
scarcity Of meat, amounting to al
most famine, after the war, and
existing conditions indeed justify that
prediction. All European nations are
making inroads upon their breeding
hcld~ to meet wars necessities, and
conditions existing in this country do
not need to be emphasized The
prices we arc paying for meats of al
kinds throw the situation before us
- u 'I . StIGGu.
Years and years will elapse before
the meat supply reaches d normal
stage, again, and increased produc-
tion will be necessary, not only for
the purpose Of keeping prices within
reach, but in order to ward off ac-
ruaI famine.
The Times has so often called at
tention to Flcrida's advantages for
the lvecding of live stock, including
hogs IS we'll as cattle, that the sub
iect hrs been worn threadbare. The
loug-Waged campaign has born fruit,
though, as never before was as much
interest manifested by Floridians in
stock raising as at present. In ma
ny counties the acreage devoted to
forage crops is being rapidly incrcas-
ed. live stock breeds are being I'M
proved, cattle tick dipping watts are
bein located in scores of county pre-
cincts and other steps are being talk
en- to put the state upon a proper
footing in this great industry. At
tention is also being paid to the es-
tablishment of packing houses, but
too much talk and too little action
has prevailed so far, and thousands
of cattle that should be fattened and
butchcred in this state are being ship
ped to western points each season.
Some of these are returned to Florid-
ians in the shape of high-priced beef. |
Florida's corn crop now exceeds
that of citrus fruits by a wide mar
gin. and in some counties hundreds |
of acres are being devoted to the cul-
tivation of hays of all kinds. Others
are increasing their cotton acreage.
We are not turning from early vege-
tables and semi-tropic fruits to sta
pies. but we are combining them with
he staples-something which no 9TH
ar state in the union can do.
Conditions resulting from the war
and other events are forcing our peo-
Die to awaken and appreciate the va
ried advantages with which they are
8essed. some of which are not prop
erlv used.
First among these advantages are
hose offered for live stock and poul-
-rv raising.
Why not get together and make the
lest of the1l-not tomorrow" but
now?

DR.. GRAY Refuses Call.

Rev. DR.. J. A, Gray of Wythevile
Virginia, who recently spent a couple
Sundays i'll Palatka, preaching to the
congregation of the Presbyterian
church, has this week notified the of
fetal board Of the church that he can
not accept the call sent him to be-
come their pastor.
1t is thought that the difficulty is
over the matter of salary, and the
church held a meeting last night to
discuss this question and try if pos
sible if they could not get DR.. Gray
to reconsider the call.
DR.. Gray was very much liked by
the church people, and they would es-
TEEN themselves lucky could they Sc
cure him for the pastorate.

Disaster Behk Moving Picture Theatre tkbmg Probably With Great Loss Of Life
Law Regarding Un-
cultivated Lands

Mexico, d. F. December 20.
After lengthy discussion the
Chamber of Deputies has ap-
proved the proposed law re-
|garding the utilization of lands
whose owners neglect or refuse
to cultivate them. The use of
these lands is declared to be a
public utility. The manner of
their use is left to the State
Congresses and the local munici-
pal authorities. The original
owners of the lands shall re-
ceive nothing in compensation
from the person cultivating
them, but the local governments
shall receive a certain per-
centage of the crops grown.
Allotments shall be made to all
applicants, within certain re-
strictionS as TO the area grant
ed each person. These allot-
ments are for one year, cover
ing two harvest seasons, and
the lands must be returned to
the owners without damage a.
the end of that time, to be
again allotted unless the pro-
prietor shall himself put them
under cultivation. The design
is to have all the cultivable land
in the Republic made produc-
tive, so far as is possible and to
afford the landless an op-
portunity to raise crops and be-
come self-supporting. Aid will
be given to applicants who do
not have the necessary machin-
cry or seed.
