THE NAVY BEAN
AN IMPORTANT CROP

Editor Telegram: 1t may be of in
terest to the many readers of your
paper to know that the navy bean,
or white bean, crop of this country
is one OF the most imprtant crops
there is grown. The following fig
ures show you what the State OF
Michigan, the great bean growing
State, grew in 1917, as forecasted by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
in their crop report for July. This
report shows that the State of Mich
igan grew S,2S7,000 bushels of navy
beans on $4,000 acres, or an aver
age of about l3 bushels to the acre .
This crop of beans is worth at the
present time at retail prices in Jack
Isonville, 20 cents per pound, and
would net the growers six times as
much as the entire orange crop OF
Florida. These beans are grown on
the pine barrens of Michigan. The
territory looks as much like Florida
piney woods as anything you can
think Of, and these beans are grown
by the poorer farmers who make a
lot of money out of it, ThTese beans
are hulled by machinery, although
some OF them are hand picked and
bring a little bit more money.
Would 1t not pay our Florida farm
ers to try the growing of these
beans? 1t certainly would add to oul
fdiversification of crops and crot
than any other crop now in the
that would be worth more money
State. | trust that some of our Flor
ida truck growers or farmers will
trv a little patch of them anyhow
and see what they will do. ! have
been informed by those hav'
talked with about it that they hav,
tried them and found that they dc
nicely, and see no reason why they
should not be successful and becom,
a staple crop in this state. They arc
Inon-perishable and can be harveste,
and hulled at leasure.
Yours very truly

THE WAR ASPECT

Some of the members of the st.
Petersburg Coast Artillery company,
since reading the alticle in the Sat
urday Evening Post telling CT the
capture, detention and escape from
tie Germans of Corporal Edward Ed
wards, a Canadian soldier, have re-
solved not to surrender They were
So impressed by the horrors Of prison
camps in Germany that they have
concluded it would be better to die
quickly rather than slowly. This
article showing conditions in Ger
many and depicting the intense hat
red that is felt by the German peo-
pie for the English is very inter
esting But it has it's marked effec:
on two special classes Of men who
read it. The man who knows he is
going to the front and will meet the
Germans in battle has peculiar
sinking sensation in the pit Of his
stomach as he realizes that a similar r
fate may be his. The man who is
not going to the front, who SITS in
an easy chair, with his stomach well
filled with good food, feels ashamed
of himself that he is not going He
reads of the privations that were
suffered by the Canadian and 1t
makes him ashamed that he is to be
comfortable and well fed and happy
while other men are going through
the horrors of war and capture and
SLOW starvation. Reading the Satur-
day Evening Post, these days, is
cEeerless, at best The war articles
present a gloomy view of the condi-
tions in this country and in Europe
and bring out to full horror of war

HEAVY INCREASE IN FIRE LOSSES

tC the great increase in fire losses:
with half the current year gone,

of Commerce to have amounted to
s14i,621.725, compared with $125,-
776,42O and $92,391.OOO in corre-
spending periods of 1916 and 1915
respectively. An increase of Sc per
cent. within two years is certainly a
cause for alarm, and points to a
probable balance on the wrong side

profitable classes of risks has appar-

POLK COUNTY URGED
TO take ACTIVE
STEPS IN ERADICATION
OF CATTLE TICK

The Lakeland Chamber of Com
merce would respectfully draw the
attention of the farmers, who are
applicants for loans under the Fed

Gently made by the chief of the Col

From applications now before us
we find no official steps are being
taken in your county to eradicate
cattle ticks. Unless assurances are
given US that this will be done il will
affect the valuations we can allow on
property offered by you
If tick-free counties and those
which are doing official tick eradica-
tior work can get better valuations
on their farms for the purpose of
getting loans to develop the prop
erty, Polk and other counties are GO
ing to be Disseminated against by
people from northern and western
States who are coming to Florida to
Invest in farm lands Therefore, it
is very important that official wor,
be taken up in this county at once.
More farmers in our trade territory
mean more business for our mer-
Giants and professional men, Sc we
are all interested in getting rid of
the ticks The farmer too, is be-
ginning to realize that it is unprofit
able to feed ticks. Polk county ought
to be tick-free. Let's make it so.

Lakeland Has
Tripled Its
Population In
Ten Years

lr recent issue OF the Tampa
Times appears the following regard
ing Lakeland's population. growth
and general advantages:
AS there is only one Florida, there
is only one Lakeland in Florida.
This is being demonstrated by the
phenomenal growth of this beautiful
city, which. while only about 80 years
old, has more than tripled in popula-
ton in the last 10 years, having at
this time a population slightly over
5000.
Lakeland is situated upon the high
lands running northcrly and easterly
from Tampa with an elevation of over
200 feet surrounded by beautiful
lakes nine of which are within the
city limits. 1t has seven miles OF
paved streets and II additional miles
are now under course of construction;
sanitary sewerage and modern muni-
cipal light and water plant and taxes
as low as are consistent with fine i'm
provements. the population OF the
city is cosmopolitan the stores up-to'
date. 1t is served by an enterpris'
ing daily newspaper and three
banks. The railroad shops furnish
employment to many men and the
many branch lines from the city make
it easy of access from all points in
the state of Florida.
In Polk county over 300 miles OF
asphalt roads are now being built and
when finished dozens of beautiful au'
tomoble trips can be made out OF
Lakeland with all the comfort ana
pleasure derived from the best boule-
ward systems.
Many of the large business firms
of Lakeland are formed by men VINO
have come from the north within re
cent wears and associated themselves
with the best business men OF the
city.
The Interstate Land and Invest
ment Co. is corporation formed III
iust such a manner by northern pus'

and seen its opportunities and formed
attachments which have Kept thenl
