In Florida

There is no more paying business
and none more conducive to health
and happiness can be found than
farming, but working knowledge Is
necessary if these essentials to
complete life are attained, says the
State Marketing Bureau. Farming is
a business for men who know what
to do and how to do. To leave the
office or shop and expect to conquer
the Soil at once is as futile as for the
whitewasher to attempt to paint a
Madonna. The artist attains his sue
cess after long and patient effort.
Mere desire does not create the abil-
lty to master the science of agricul
ture. 1t requires thoughtful effort.
The opportunity to make success
OF the farm is present now in infor-
nation to be had from the literature
OF the State and Federal Department.
CT Agriculture, from farm papers,
from short courses at State Expert
ment Stations and from personal ad-
wee freely and cheerfully given by
farm demonstration agents, whose
services are paid for by the public,
and then properly applying the
knowledge gained.
Success in farming comes through
the avenues of practical knowledge
practically applied. knowledge i'm
practically applied will not bring sue
cess. To apply knowledge means
work and there is no way of getting
around it. Machinery alone will moi
save the situation. There is more or
less work in using labor saving ma
chinery. Properly applied work is the
thing. Nature does the rest, give it a
chance. Work with it.
That means the personal factor
Environments are secondary to the
farmers skill. knowledge, patienca
and other qualifications as a produc-
er and a seller Of farm products are
the essentials. The greatest study OF
mankind is man. The real factor In
successful farming is the personal
qualifications of the farmer.
The farm is factory, and when
men act in harmony with the wonder
full alchemy Of natuye in the building
Of plants then success is possible
After the plants are grown there |,
the necessity Of harvesting, grading
packing and marketing. The produc
ton Of crops is only half. To pu
them in shape and secure a paying
price is the final problem.
This is where the success of organ
ization comes in. BY individual
working together for a purpose IN
stead Of each going 1t alone, rushin'
poorly graded products to marke
without knowing all conditions, ther,
is orderly procedure by manager
who know.
The growing season in Florida /
longer over its entire area than II
any other state in the Union. It ha
more sunlight and more rainfall tina,
any other, both so necessary to sue
cessful growth.
A careful study of the work Of 9th
ers, as well as personal investigation
of the Soil under cultivation, of fer
t;lization, adaptation Of crops an
good seed-all these enter into tn
proposition. The geographical distri
button Of vegetation is determined b
climate, and the principal climati
factors to be considered in the devel
opment Of plants are temperatur,
rainfall and sunshine. Florida ha
plenty of all these necessaries, and
I IL up to man to make right use {
these gifts. Do this, and Florida ca
become leader, as it should be,
agriculture. Florida Grower.

Firemeu's Paw.

Increases in the pay of the police
men Of the District are proposed in q
bill just approved by the House Dis
trict committee, and soon to be con-
sidered by the House. To these in
creases the District people fully as
sent. The advances are recognized as
necessary and just. 1t required, how
ever, tragic demonstration Of the
need to bring the matter to climax.
The fremen of the District are also
in need Of pay increases. They have
had no general advance in thirteen
years-in fact, since the passage of
the reorganization act of 1906. Mean
while, practically every other wage
scale has been increased and the cost
of living has advanced tremendously.
The community feels toward the mat
ter Of fremen's pay precisely as it
does respecting the pay of the police
men. It should not require disaster
such as great confagration to bring
about legislation on this subject.
As soon as possible this matter
should be taken up by the House Dis
trict committee to put through re-
organization bill giving the iremen a
scale Of pay commensurate with their
needs and their services. By so acting
the matter will be put upon a safe
basis, much more secure than efforts to
raise the pay through the appropria-
ton bill, subject to point of order.
The enactment should be prompt, to
govern in the writing of the appro-
priations for the next fiscal year. The
Commissioners are favorable to the
amendment Of the act Of 1906, for they
recognize that the firemen should have
more pay. If Congress is willing to
move in this matter, as it is moving
in the matter Of the police pay, these
men, to whom the safety of lives and
homes of the capital is Entrusted, will
next year be drawing living wage.

Another victim Of the old purse
trick has reported to the police the
loss Of q considerable sum of money.
This il one Of the oldest schemes in
the history Of swindling. It has been
exposed again and again and still it
is worked successfully. It is such an
obvious fraud on its face that the mar
vol is that it should succeed at all.
A man is approached by q stranger
who declares that he has just found .
pocketbook containing money. He
asks him, in one version Of the swim
die, to hold the pocketbook while he
goes to . telephone to report the find
to the police, but asks for . money
security meanwhile. OF course, he
never returns and the holder Of the
purse, the victim, finds he has perhaps
q single dollar bill wrapped around
green paper, for which he has parted
with . very much larger sum. There
are many varieties Of the swindle, but
they are all based on the same plan.
Sometimes the victims cupidity ID
aroused. In whatever form it takes
it II . scheme that should not fool any
body with intelligence. Yet scarcely
q week passee hero that til not tiled

borne. The emily difference bstwoen
the two parties on that score will lie
in their ideas about adjusting the bur.
den to the backs Of the taxpayers.
In the south there Is talk Of changes.
snd among other things taxes are men
toned. q. L. Anderson, member of
tho republican national committee for
Florida, is quoted for this:
Thousands of men in Florida are
now saying they will never vote the
democratic ticket again. The inefi-
cheney Of the administration, the in
competency Of the last Congress, the
obvious drift of leading democrats
toward socialism, waste of public
money and the back-breaking taxa
ton, have brought about this disaf-
lection"
These men have more than a year
for thinking the matter over. When
the time comes, will they vote as they
are now talking? Threats of leaving
the democratic party have often been
made by southern men, but, except in
a few instances, have never been exc
cuted. Election day. when they took
the trouble to 60 to the polls, usually
found them, ballot in hand, voting in
the same old way.
1t is needless to say that if Florida
should flop for the reasons here given
other southern states might flop, and
q turnover result which would be q rec
ord in that line. But the republican
leaders are probably not arranging
their presidential campaign with the
