RESPONSE OF THE FARMERS

And let me say that the stimulation
OF the agencies / have enumerated
has been responded to by the farmers
in splendid fashion. / dare say that
; you are aware that the farmers of
this country are as efficient as any
other farmers in the world. They do
not produce more per acre than the
farmers in Europe. II is not neces-
sary that they should do so. 1t would
perhaps be bad economy for them to
attempt it. But they do produce by
two or three or four times more per
man, per unit OF labor and capital
than the farmers OF any European
country. They are more alert and use
more labor-saying devices than any
other farmers in the world. And
their response to the demands of the
present emergency has been in every
way remarkable Last spring their
planting exceeded by 100000 acres
the largest planting of any previous
=
were record-breaking yields. In the
fall of 1917 a wheat acreage of A.
10000 was planted, which was l.
100000 larger than for any proceed
ing year, 100000 greater than the
next largest, and 100000 greater
than the preceding five-year average.
ChNs.tI
But ought to say to you that 1t is
not only necessary that these achieve
ments should be repeated. but that
they should be exceeded know
what this advice involves. It in.
wolves not only labor but sacrifice, the
painstaking application of every bit
OF scientific knowledge and every
tested practice that is available. It
means the utmost economy even to
the point where the pinch comes. 1t
means the kind OF concentration and
self-sacrifice which is involved in the
field Of battle itself, where the object
always looms greater than the individ-
ual. And yet the government will
help and help In every way that is
possible. The impression which pre-
walls in some quarters that while the
government has sought to fix the pric-
es Of foOdstuffs, it has not sought to
fix other prices which determine the
expenses of the farmer is a mistaken
one.-Woodrow Wilson.

"sMILEAGE" BOOK CAMPAIGN TO
BEGIN ON FEBRUARY II

With practically every city and
town intent upon securing the honor
of being the most generous giver in
the proportion to population. there is
every probability that Florida will
contribute even more than ten thou
sand dollars the sum it has been ask
ed to subscribe toward the fund of
one million dollars, to be raised for
the military entertainment fund.
The eyes of the natioe VIII be upon
Florida, and 1t is the hope OF the mil
itary entertainment council that the
state may give demonstration of pa
triotism which will gain the envy OF
other states.
The forthcoming countrywide can
vas is designed to equip the military
entertainment council OF the war de-
partmeut commission on training
camp activities TO assume the vast re-
sponsibility it faces in the war. It
must follow and furnish to the sol
diers IN the great training camps
wholesome entertainments which will
sustain the morale Of our men in
whatever phase of service they may
be engaged. No other organization
can accomplish this with the same
degree of success and economy. The
army will fight more efficiently and
the end of the war will be FASTENED
through this medium
Contributions 20 this military enter
tainment fund are made by the pur.
chase of "Smi:eage" books, which con
tain coupons 10 be used for admission
to the camp entertainments. These
books are sent by the purchasers to
their soldier friends or 30 command
ing generals for distribution to Lone
some soldiers.
4 committee is TO be formed here
to take charge Of "Smileage" books
No doubt many residents OF this com.
munity will be glad to send them to
their friends now located at the va
rious camps IN this country, at which
the government has built Liberty the
aters.

Take coal, for instance and ex
plain, if it is possible, how the govern
ment could ever have come into pos
session of the mines.-Miami Herald
Owning the lands, coming into pos
session of the mines seems an easy
proposition. In parting with the pub
lie lands, if the government had re-
tanned ownership of all the gold, sill
yer, copper. zinc, tin and other ores,
and oils. it would have had money
enough to have built a public school
on every hill and in every valley; ii
could have honey-combed the country
With good roads; it could have deep
cred and Strengthened every river and
improved every harbor; it could have
ramified the land with a system OF
canals: it could have crowded the
seas with its ships; it could have
adorned every town and city with pub.
lie buildings and gardens. and could
have freed the people from the heavy
exactions of taxation.
