CATTLE RAISERS
Can Produce Better Beef at In
creased Profit

Shall the beef producer work
toward an increase in number Of
his herd or shall he improve the
quality of his herd, or do both? =?
VIM. H. Black, beef cattle special
ist working with the Extension
Division of the College of Agri-
culture, says this question might
be answered differently depend
ing upon the conditions in various
sections of the United States.
Mr.. Black has the following to
say on this subject.
Let us study only the condi-
ton as existing in Florida.
On August Is, socalled fat
steers were quoted II Jacksonville
from six to eight cents per pound,
with the bulk of sales at seven
cents or lower. On the Chicago
markets the same day steers rang
ing in price from II to Is cents,
with the bulk from IA to 16 cents.
In other words, the cattle going
into Chicago are bringing about
twice as much as Florida cattle.
Can this difference in price be
due to the Location of the market? I?
No, it cannot. Florida cattle
would not net as much profit in
Chicago as they do in Jackson
vile. The difference is largely in
the cattle themselves. The ave-
rage Florida steer going to mar
ket at this time of year weighs
around $50 pounds. If he sells
at seven cents he will bring $38.
The average steer on the Chicago
market will weigh 100 pounds
and sell for Is cents and bring
$155. The Florida steers might
net the feeders the most money
after all, but even then, should the
cattleman in Florida be satisfied /?
He certainly should not, for he
can just as well have his steers
weighing a thousand pounds at
the same age and on practically
the same pasturage and feed, if
the right kind of blood is intro
duced in his herd.
OF the thousands Of cattle
slaughtered in Florida during the
war, not one carcass was accept
ed by the Government. These
cattle had neither the size, quail
ity, nor finish to meet require
ments. All of these characteris-
tics can be improved wonderfully
by using good bulls Of strictly
beef breeding.
The individual cattleman will
have to decide for himself
whether he should increase the
number of his herd, improve the
quality, or both. In view of the
existing prices which are likely
to show no improvement for some
little time, and with the great
bulk Of our cattle of such quality
as not to be in good demand, it
would seem that this fall would be
an opportme time to give the
herd a vigorous culling, keeping
only young animals that are
growing into money, and the best
heifers and cows. Buy good
purebred bulls of any of the beef
breeds. Use these on the females
and it will not be many years
until the cattle will be of the
right quality and size to command
good prices.

FLORIDA'S SUMMER
Climate is One of the State Chief
Charms

The Manufacturers Record
says: "People who spend the
summer in Florida insist with a
unanimity which we have never
seen equalled anywhere else on
any subject, that the summer
climate of Florida is one of the
chief charms of the state, entire
ly contrary to the idea of very
large portion of the people of the
North and West, who imagine
that as soon as one passes the Ma
son and Dixon Line. he enters in
to land of burning heat" "

H. P. Knowles, a fine old gentle
man who owns valuable property
at Captiva where he has been liv-
ing, came up here several weeks
ago, and, after taking a look a
round town, bought last week six
residence lots from d. A. Warren.
The lots are located near Col.
Chadman s cottage on Olympia
avenue in the eastern part of
town and each of them contains
a house. Mr.. Knowles proposes
to improve one of the houses and
lie in it. He paid 1000 for the
property.

in provided, and if two-thirds of
the members of the town council
shall deem any such Improvement
Of street or part OF a street, or
highway to be- a. public necessity,
then the town council shall be au-
thorized to have, the improve
ments made, without a petition,
and the costs thereof taxed as
herein provided.
Section 4. AS soon as the con-
tract for said work has been let,
and the cost OF the said improve
ment can be ascertained, the town
council shall direct the tax as
SCISSOR of said town to assess the
cost of said improvement against
the owners of lots, parts of lots
or land abutting ON the street or
part of street or highway to be
improved, in the proportion that
the frontage of each lot, part ola

frontage of all lots, parts Of lots
or land Exclusive Of streets and
public grounds) which border or
abut on said improvement. Pro-
vided, that if the town council
shall deem it just and expedient
that any portion Of the cost of i'm
provement be borne by the town,
then the council shall direct the
Tax Assessor to deduct the amount
that the town assumes to pay from
the total cost OF the improvement
and assess only the balance of
such cost to abutting property
owners in the proportion above
provided. Any error made by
the Assessor in giving the name of
the owner of any lot, part Of lot,
or land, or in the description
thereof, shall not invalidate the
assessment, but all such assess
ments shall be liens against the
lots, part of lots or land against
which they are assessed, to the
same extent as State, County and
municipal taxes of the town are
collected and enforced.
The town council shall be au-
thorized to issue certificates or
bonds in payment for said work
as is provided in Chapter 1854 of
the laws of Florida, and all the
provisions of said chapter rela-
tive to the issue and sale of i'm
provement bonds and certificates
of Indebtedness against property
assessed for improvements shall
apply to the assessments made
under this Act.
Section s. This Act shall not
be construed as comforting upon
general law or a special charter
provision of the town of Punta
Gorda, Florida, but the same shall
be construed as confirming upon
said town additional power in
public improvements.
Section 6. This Act shall take
effect on it's passage and approval
by the Governor.
Approved May 2Sth, 1919.

BUSINESS
COMMENT
AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
Expressed by q Number of
Local Merchants

As all who have, or expect to
have interests in Punta Gorda
may like to know something Of
our commercial progress, we
have gathered a few facts in re-
gard to the subject, which will
prove interesting.
Beginning with the merchants,
whose business at this season of
the year is more quiet than at any
other time, we inquired first of
r. M. King who handles fruits,
vegetables and confectioneries.
He states that his business is on
the increase and fully so per cent.
better than it was during the sum-
mer of year ago.
j. T. Griggs, dealer in staple
and fancy groceries, says that
considering conditions resulting
from the war, his business is good
and satisfactory.
f. NJ. Cooper, hardware mer-
chant, is really jubilant over pre-
vailing conditions and the outlook
for the future. He says his bus
mess has increased fifty per cent.
during the past year, that this
last July it was much better than
in July of the past year, and he
believes that Punta Gorda will
lead all other towns in the coun-
ty in her financial progress. He
asserts that more cash money is
handled here during year than
in any other town of the county,
and he gives good reason for the
assertion.
Frank R. Blount, dealer in a
general line Of groceries, veget-
ables and fruits, says that his
sales are at least twenty per cent.
better than a year ago and that
the present outlook is encourag-
ing.
r. X. Seward, manager, says
that the business of the Punta
Gorda Dry Goods Company does
not show any extraordinary i'm
provement, but that it is holding
it's own and he is looking conf
IDENTIFY to the future.
II. l.. Blakely, trucker and
dairy-man, Acknowledges that his
dairy business is not making him
rich, but his trucking is proving
very profitable. As an illustra-
ton, he sold from one and one
fourth acres $1,919 worth of Gu
cumbers, which cost him for ferti-
lizer, crates, labor and commission
$1,393.75, besides the crop of hay
that was harvested off the same
land.
A. J. Kinsel, proprietor of a !
dry goods, clothing and shoe
store, says he is doing stirring
business. He states that his
sales are increasing every day and
that his business is considerably |
better than a year ago.
A. P. Hatch, who handles gro
ceries, fruits, vegetables and cool
drinks, says he is doing a very

ID. A. Armstrong, Suwannee
county agent, says that there is
an air of prosperity among the
farmers of that county. Auto
mobiles are universally used, and
the only kick they have coming is
for better roads.

A HEDGING NOW

Governor elect Edwards is already beginning to hedge a
little on his anti prohibition program. In interviews published
since the election he has been quoted as saying: "This state
has not declared for the enforcement Of prohibition. FOR IRIS
FoRcEMENT BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHALL
NOT BE RESPONSIBILITY.
But it was known from the beginning that the whole thing
was a federal matter. Everybody knew that New Jersey had
refused to ratfy the prohibition amendments; it was acknowl-
edged that this state was wet as far as the state itself was
concerned. But when an amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, ratified by forty five of the forty-eight states,
makes prohibition a part of the fundamental law of the land,
thinking people could not see how a governor 1r a legislature
could keep any state wet without an attempt to nullify the Con-
slilution and defy the federal government.
The claim was made by Democratic orators that If elected
Edwards would make New Jersey as wet as the Atlantic Ocean.
There was nothing said before election about not being re-
s~ponsible for what the federal government would do. But as
long as it was possible to hoodwink a great mass of voters,
why admit the truth-untl after the election anyway?
Having gained his office largely through deception, the
governor-e eel IS now pawn his way to get out from under
when prohibition goes into force on the sixteenth of January
Edwards can 10 no more to stop it than can the man in the
moon and lie knows it. He makes haste to shake off any re-
sponsibility for l onibition that will be enforced by the fed
eral government.
Mr.. Edwards, as governor, will be responsible, however
for any defiance of tn federal government on the part OF the
state of New jersey nd he will be responsible for any attempt
to ~ Slfy the Consttu on in this state.
Let him take the consequences.
