Florida farmers are now urged
to raise rice, which is possibly the
best food crop on earth, but those
giving the advice seemingly do not
know that the muck and prairie
lands of South Florida are the
best in America for growing rice
and they do not require irrigation.
Rice is crop which is as easily
grown as sweet potatoes or sugar
cane, and the yield is very profta-
BILE.

A Punta Gorda Possibility

The supply of shrimp for four
canneries is not only a source of
much qualification to our citizens
generally, but the continued run
IN these waters Of these palatable
fish for almost year, is consider
ed remarkable and occasions no
little comment. This is a new in
dustry for Apalachicola and it has
placed many thousands of dollars
in the hands of the boatmen, peel
ers and employees of the Gamer
les. While other towns in Florida
have profited by the shrimp indus
try, Apalachicola is the only town
IN the State that has a combined
shrimp and oyster trade, of ire

AS to the report published in
this paper that Editor Carter of
the Arcadia Enterprise, is getting
so rich that he lights his dollar CT
CARS with ten-dollar bills, he init
mates that the report may have
been published with the mali
cious purpose of causing his credi-
tors to gather about his office door
like depositors around a defunct
bank. " Nay, nay, Brother Car
ter. A friend of yours did bring
that report here, and it was pub
lished to show the wonderful pros
perity of Arcadia and, also, as an
evidence of the qualification we
feel at the good fortune of a wor-
thy scribe. I'VE delight in the
prosperity of our press brethren
nearly as much as we would, if we
were enjoying the same blessing
ourselves.

That Fishing Controversy

The Herald hitherto has not ex-
pressed itself on the merits of the
controversy between the town au-
thorities and Capt. j. j. Mccain,
deputy shell-fsh commissioner.
The controversy arose from the
fact that the deputy required a
winter visitor who fshed with
hook and line, to pay $1,000 for
license, because the latter sold
some, if not all of the fish which
he caught.
Many citizens, including the
town officials, thought that the
Ideputy's action would drive tour
lists away from here, as many of
them are attracted here not only
by the climate and other advant-
ages, but by the superior fishing.
The council directed the town at
torney to submit the matter to the
State Acknowledgement and that
official replied that no license was
required for hook and line fishing.
Thereupon, the council ordered
the $1,000 license fee to be repaid
to the visitor from whom it was
collected.
Elsewhere in today's paper, the
state shell fish commissioner gives
his construction Of the law and
sustains Deputy Mccain in his ac-
ton. His position is that any one |
who sells fish must pay a license,
this as a matter of justice, if moth
ing more, to our resident fisher
men, all of whom have to pay a IL
cense; that it is not fair to make
our home fishermen pay a license
and permit visitors to catch and /
sell fish without any tax or re-
Striction.
Every visitor is permitted to
catch with hook and line all the
ish he pleaSes; and, if he catches {
more than he can consume, he may II
give away, but not sell the sur i
'lus. In word, any man who {
ellis fish, no matter by what de- /
ice they are caught, must pay h
1000 license fee; but those who t
10 not sell fish, have no tax to pay. i
The Herald thinks this is fair S
nd just. :
In this connection, we will state {
hat the Minnesota law requires a {
100 license for every rod and 5
eel used, whether by residents or :
Florida requires a s
uniting license and it may be that, 5
n the near future, fishing license 5
vii be required of all who do any s
ishing. s

Wonder if the castor bean boom
is any kin to the Bedgian hare and

goats ought to be a source of

Col. |. E. BarWick of Palmetto
moved by his characteristic con.
ception of fairness and justice as
well as his patriotism, wrote to
Senator Fletcher and urged the Sc
lection of Punta Gorda as a suita-
bic and eminently desirable loca-
ton for federal convalescent
hospital. He did this, although
his pecuniary interests are in and
with Tampa, and he was moved
solely by his conviction that the
accessibility Of Punta Gorda by
both water and rail and especially
It's wonderful healthfulness, made
it a superior location for the ends
desired. Col. Barwick is well ac-
quainted with all this southwest
section of Florida, and he knows
what he is doing when he recon-
mends Punta Gorda, and his many
friends know that his action was
inspired by purely patriotic mo-
tlves. Senator Fletcher, under
date of the 10Th inst, answered
his letter and stated that this
place would be given due consid-
Grafton. Punta Gorda is very
grateful to Col. Barwick for his
generous effort in her behalf.

We think that Nocatee incident,
wherein it is said that three men
attempted to burn the great lum.
Der mill at that place, is a fake.
However, we do not hesitate to
recommend that, if any man or
woman, in these war times, is
caught in all attempt to destroy
some manufacturing plant that is
contributing to the conduct and
success of the war, the offender
should be taken out and summari-
ly shot We believe that few in
dividuals who cherish animosity
against certain industries, are dis
posed to take advantage of present
conditions to wreak their ven
geance; and if these be found to
be the offenders, they should be
placed in the category of German
spies and shot at once. 1t is time
to quit dilly-dallying; stern and
merclless measures are necessary.
