the ignorance of Mcmahon, as these
ere not the principal crops Of the
South any more. Live stock, Of which
his boasted corn belt has been the
leader, is now greater than cotton and
in Florida the four million dollars
worth of products are but slightly
made up of either cotton or tobacco.
AS to the naughty Southerner it nigh.
be well for Mcmahon to know that in
the South are many Northerners who
have grown tired of the corn belt
lands that never had any artificial
fertilizer on them but which always
had heavy dose of manure every
year, although he neglects to say
anything about it. He also does not
say that the wheat and corn crops
will not yield more than fifty to sew
enty dollars to the acre where most
Florida crops run from 5000 to $1,000
an acre, so an investment of thirty to
fifty dollars an acre for fertilizer
would seem to be profitable one.
In this article he boosts the al
luvial lands of the Mississippi delta
and says they would feed the nation
il placed under intensive cultivation.
Florida has four million acres of rich
muck lands that will never need any
fertilizer, not even manure, and they
are rapidly being transformed into
the most wonderful farms and gar
dens in the world and still this won
derfully wise man, who sets himself
up as an authority on farming and
soils, doesn't even refer to this rich
section but says all Florida lands are
pure sand. What a fool Jackson
vile Times-Union.

IGNORANCE
OF FLORIDA

we nave Deen accustomed 10 ac
cept surprising statements in fiction
knowing full well that many of the
story writer's never saw the scenes OF
their plots and are ignorant of the
real conditions in these localities, but
when a writer of facts pertaining t.
the farm and farming conditions, I'M
dertakes to write about them for pub
LEGATION we expect that he is going to
write with authority and familiarity
with his subject.
During the present month writer
of this character, one Mcmahon, has
been writing articles on the soils of
the United States in a Philadelphia
farm paper and his articles show n
most startling ignorance Of Florida
and the coastal plains states gener-
ally. The map he used two weeks
ago was denounced by the bureau Of
soils in Washington as one that was
not official or pertaining to soil sur
vey and the head Of the bureau en-
phatically stated that Mcmahon was
told not to use the map when 1t was
loaned to him for reference only.
The latest effusion of this misguid
ed writer in the farm journal that
seems to he prejudiced against Flor
ida, deals with the soils of the South
and he repeats his former statement
that the South stands at the very bot
tom in the matter Of fertile lands.
There are few direct references to
Florida in this article but he says:
1.-THE peninsular part Of Florida seems
to BIO ignored, as II It were composed
only of pure sand and winter resorts
What the winter resorts have to do
with the soil he does not say but per.
faps that is persifage beyond our
comprehension, as there is tendency
on his part to be semi humorous al
times.
Following this pert paragraph, he
says: THE naughty Southerner, re.
spending to the affront put upon his
beloved and beautiful domain, laughs
sardonically and says the poor Soutl
is still producing yearly over ter
million bales of cotton, and heap O.
tobacco and other crops, whereby au
tomobiles, talking machines and suci
like have become as thick as flies. tt
which it may be replied that in orde,
to produce her splendid crops thu
South continues to use more artificial
fertilizer than all the rest OF th'
country put together. On the othe'
hand there is the corn belt land which
has never had pound of fertilizer
put upon it and it yields large crops
Cotton and tobacco! That shows

Miami, way down at the end OF the
earth, so far as transportation is
concerned, is kicking vehemently be-

cents a gallon more than Miami

The Times-Union reads a mild lee
ture to few editors who sprinkle
their illusions with capitals and
black-face type. Sometimes this is
done to cover up paucity Of ideas and
crudity Of expression. It Is not un-
usual that the chap who shouts the
loudest has the least to say; and this
is often the case with the types, as
well as the spoken word.
