FLORIDA MAY Be
Bis WHEAT STATE

The government has asked the far
; mers of the United States to plant this
fall no less than 100000 acres of
wheat. Florida was not included in
the list of states to do this, says the
State Marketing Bureau. but from res
ports our state is going to make a
Showing. Jackson county alone will
as farmers there have already agreed
TO plant that acreage. and enterprising
citizens of Mariana have agreed to
build a 25-barrel Touring mill.
Mariana started the corn elevator
industry in the state and now not less
than half a. dozen other towns have
elevators, one of them Of large capac-
ity. at Jacksonville.
The supply of wheat in the ware
houses and granaries of the nation
will be practically exhausted before
the new crop arrives on the market in
quantity, the usual carry-over being
much smaller than normal Although
this country produced a small wheat
crop in 1917, the total exports of wheat
in excess of imports, inclding flour in
terms of wheat, amounted to approxi-
mately 100, 600, 900 bushels for the fiscal
year ending June 80 1918. This is in
comparison with 17S,00o,00o bushels
exported in 1917, 236,0Oo,000 in 1916
and 331. 600, 900 in 1915. It was possible
to export wheat in large quantities IN
1915 and 1915 only because of the large
wheat crops of four preceding years,
which, of course. gave the United
States an accumulation of stocks or
this grain Both the 1916 and the 1917
crops were smaller than any crop since
1911. and besides this there was a
greater demand for seed wheat and an
increasing population and foreign de-
mand. Consequently the reserve sup
ply or carry-over of wheat this year
is practically exhausted and is the
smaller on record.
The carry-over supply of the i'm
porting European countries was prac-
tically exhausted this year before the
new crop came in and the situation in
America and Europe demands early
and prompt attention.
1t is hoped and believed that Florida
will make a most creditabIe start this
year in growing wheat. The question
of good seed is important More oats
and rye should be sown also Inter
ested farmers should at once get in
correspondence with the United States
department of agriculture Washing
ton, d. c.. in regard to it. Good varfe-
ties of seed wheat from our neighbor-
ing states should be used, being more
adapted to our conditions.

The raider then bore down upon the

operation with the postoffice depart
ment, to facilitate and to expedite to
the greatest practicable degree the de-
| livery of mail to and from abroad
These arrangements provide that the
postoffice department shall pouch mail
for organizations and deliver it so
pouched to the army embarkation
points in the United States. the mail
to be then transported by army trans
ports and delivered through army
channels to soldiers. In like manner,
the mail from France is to be collected
by the army, pouched and delivered to
the postoffice department at ports Of
embarkation in France, transported on
government transports to the United
States and delivered by the postoffice
department here. General Pershing re-
ports that he is making every effort to
perfect the mail system under his con-
troll so that mail will be delivered
promptly.
THE money order system is oper-
ated exclusively in France by the post
office department. The army authors
ties in France are rapidly perfecting
their postal system, and an improve
ment has been noticed already in the
lessening of congestion of the. mails
This new system that is being put into
effect will, it is hoped, serve to elimi-
nate to large degree complaints rela-
tive to the non-receipt of mail to and
from abroad.
If the soldier does not get his let
tiers separately, he may receive them
collectively but they will eventually
reach him if properly addressed
IF letters are marked plainly with
the name and organization in full, the
words American Expeditionary Force
at the bottom of the envelope, and the
name and address of the writer in the
upper left hand corner, they will be
taken care of and delivered if within
the power of the authorities"
