Big Business Could
Help Development

II may sound a little old fashioned
70 say 1t and we may be accused 4,
sentimentality when we express t.
out just the same every business en-
terprise of any magnitude has a ma.
lerial as well as a moral responsible.
ity In the development Of the country
surrounding the cities in which thew
operate.
In the old pioneering days. when
the great Western prairies and conn
tries were settled, there was a feel.
ing that every nwcomer must be Civ.
en- every assistance in getting started
and corporation was more common
tnen than now. The business man and
the farmer turned in and helped the
new settler to build his home and
clear his land and thus was a great
agricultural development founded
IN later years the people have grown
away from that cooperative senti-
ment into certain degree of indi.
vidualism or selfishness. Many con-
Germs seem to think that they have mo
other interest in the welfare Of the
country than in the building up OF
their own business, overlooking the
important fact that whenever pros
perity is created by the opening of a
new industry or the development of
new farm or ranch an influence ia
set In motion for an enlarged con.
sumption OF every kind of goods that
enters into civilized production.
The banking Institutions, the whole.
sale houses, the big retail stores, the
factories and the business concerns
generally should give this subject Sc
rious consideration In Florida. This
state has a greater area Of undevel-
oped lands than any other state and
still it hs unsurpassed advantages in
the way Of climate, soil moisture and
adaptability to crop growing the year
around and the opportunity to enter
into a great live stock industry on
account Of open air pasture and crop
ping every month in the year. Big
business can and should help to de-
velop these vast areas of land and IN
doing so they will be but helping
themselves as every new development
will mean more business for their
concerns.
Around each big consuming center
big business could establish demon
stration farms in order to show the
newcomers what can be raised profit
ably and 1t might even 60 farther and
combine to develop farms by clear.
Ing fencing, planting and erecting
houses and barns, so that good set
tiers can begin operations at once
and reap some rewards from their
efforts without having to wait to
carve them out as was done in the
old pioneering days. This is the day
Of big things and big business can do
these big things If they only think 81
and think hard enough to take the
initiative in movement that would
mean much to them as we'll as to the
whole state. Jacksonville Times
