COTTON cARooEs.

In connection with the establishment Of high
density cotton compress at Pensacola. which bust
ness men interested in port development claim to
be Of the prime necessities to commercial SUI
premacy, it is interesting to note that the cotton
season is opening up in West Florida with promise
of fine crop of excellent quality.
Reports from Graceve. which is the first
of the West Florida towns to report cotton sales
estimates cotton crop of one million dollars,
and farmers say the crop in that neighborhood is
the best in a number of years.
The Manufacturers Record recently urged upon
the farmers of the south continued development of
diversified farming, pointing out that only through
such agricultural methods may the south attain
it's full measure OF prosperity.
The Record says: Diversified farming bring
ing about larger production of wheat and corn
and hogs and cattle. a broadening of agricul-
ture through steady increase in the fertility of
southern sail and the rounding Of all the ac-
Invites which make for the largest growth OF very
interest in the SOUTH
Up Gracevile way the farmers have found
more cotton the more Of other crops for
the simple that through diversification not
only is the soil enriched. but is the farmer.
Graceville reports corn, sugar cane, velvet
beans potatoes. peanuts and forage fine, and
forecasts from that territory for prosperous
year ahead
The raising of high priced cotton will not him
spite of the fears frequently expressed by the
Manufacturers Record. There is plenty of land
in West Florida for all the crops that be grown
here. which includes about everything that be
grown anywhere not excepting wheat and sugar
cane which many farmers putting in.
But cotton will into its again, and
West Florida farmers will grow great part Of the
fleecy staple which will be shipped from this port
America will be called upon to furnish great part
of the cotton output for years to come. and while
come from Mississippi and Tennessee, great part
of it will be grown here at very DOORS and will
be of the same excellent quality which has been
here in the past and of which Graceville has
already given sample. Cotton at 40 cents a
pound. or $2ss bale. that indicates that 1t will pay
well to produce the fleecy staple here. when modern
equipment makes it possible to compete with other
territories which have already learned value of
high density press in handling cargoes which are
to be exported from this section.

OUR BIRTHDAY PARTY.

The contest for the Florida centennial seems
to lie between Jacksonville and Pensacola, since
Tampa has Withdrawn from the race. and the
claims that being put forward by both cities
are receiving the attention of the entire state.
Commenting the fact that by the time the
hundredth anniversary of the purchase of Flor
Ida is celebrated 1922. this will boast
of the most complete hard surfaced road systems in
the country, the st. Augustine Record says:

THE MERCHANT MARINE.

The press throughout Florida is commenting on
the splendid progress made by the Pensacola Ship
Building plant which in spite Of war conditions and
some minor labor difficulties has five great steel
ships ready for sea- and five more rapidly nearing
completion.
No business enterprise has been developed
here of greater importance than that of the great
plant which has only furnished employment to
thousands men, good wages but which has
built great going vessels of. the most modern
type which are taking of business already
established here.
In connection with the possibilities represented
by these great steel vessels. Pensacola has been
watching with close attention the fight which is
being waged by the senior senator of FLORIDA for
the merchant marine of the United States.
Senator Fletcher fired his first when he
introduced the resolution the latter part of June
directed against the sale Of any of the merchant
ships of the government foreign interests and
followed this resolution later with his speech
against the sale Of the ships.
Senator Fletcher severely criticised the methods
Of the shipping board and director of operations
which recommended that the government discon-
tinue the construction of ships soon the ex-
listing contracts performed, and that it sell it's
ships and retire from the operating business. He
quoted President Wilson's statement in his address
to the Pan-American Congress in May, 1914:
One of our chief needs is to have a merchant
marine, because if have to deliver goods in
other peoples delivery wagons their goods
delivered first and our goods are delivered only

Senator Fletcher asked the pointed question:
Why does the government cancel contracts.
building ships and sell off the ships it has. any
of them unless it be such that it cannot use? He
showed that rates lower than Great Britan's
o those of Italy France, and commented: Sales
will result in the ships going to augment lines al
ready established and in the concentration of
shipping in few hands A person with limited
capital wishing to start independent venture
and to do some pioneering, will not get any of the
ships. AS favorable opportunity to sell
transfer a ship occurs. it will lose American
registry"
Senator Fletcher advocates that high-class mail
by the government and the yards be permitted
agreed build for foreigners and that prin-
ciples should be established fixing Of
and the making body should do it's in
such manner that private will build
ships and compete with the government.
He stated frankly that those who wished buy
ships cheap from the government do not agree with
his views but he expressed the fear that they
