Press Comment
West Florida SUGAR Mill.


The following story of the develop
ment of the sugar industry which is
taking place at Holt, twenty miles
east of Milton. is a matter of mate
rial interest to all West Florida, and
may be the beginning of great in
dustry in this section Of the state.
The story as published in the Okaloo-
so News-Journal is as follows:
"a great sugar and syrup mill will
| be moved from Louisiana to Okla
| loosa county and put up at Holt. The
size of the mill can be better arrived
at when it is stated that six large
freight cars will be required to trans
port the crusher, and then car after
car will be necessary to transport the
other parts. One piece of the ma
chinery will weigh six tons and the
flywheel weighs thirteen thousand
pounds, and is 81 feet in diameter.
The mill, in all probability, will be
ready to take care Of the cane crop
this fall.
The capacity of the mill will be
1000 tons every twelve hours.
This is an enterprise of the Kan
fla Lumber Company-the Porters.
About ten days ago Mr.. Harold
Porter, accompanied by Mr.. john
Boswell, visited Louisiana and pur-
chased the plant, with all the neces-
sary machinery to make sugar and
syrup.
For several years the Porters have
been growing sugar cane, increasing
their acreage every year. So thor
oughly have they tested out the pos
sibilities of growing sugar cane on
their grounds in the vicinity of Holt.
that it is no longer an experiment
with them, but they are satisfied that
it will be one of the greatest indus
tries of the future in West Florida,
and are willing to back their judg-
ment to the extent of many thousands
of dollars.
The Porters own many thousands
of acres Of the best lands in West
Florida, land that they know will
produce good sugar cane, for they
have grown cane on it. They are now
having built in their machine shop
at Holt, gigantic stump puller and
land-clearing machine. This machine
will carry it's own boilers. two en-
gines and will develop a power of two
hundred tons pulling capacity. This
puller will clear from five totem thou
sand acres as soon as labor and other
increase their cane acreage to many
thousands of acres. 1t IS with the in
tention of caring for this great in
crease of cane acreage that they have
purchased and will remove the large
sugar mill from Louisiana to Holt.
This will be the greatest move to-
ward sugar making ever made in
West Florida, if not the entire state.
How much this means to West
Florida cannot be estimated, but that
it means much all will realize.
It is indeed no small undertaking to
move large plant hundreds of miles,
but the Porters have the capital and
energy to do big things. While 9TH
ers talk, West Florida-yes, Okaloosa
county-is doing things.
Carry the news that Okaloosa
county, the best county in West Flor
ida is to have a great sugar mill.
The Porters have about two hun
dred and fifty acres in sugar cane
this year and it presents a pretty
sight, waving and shining in the sun.

Yanks May Win sHonors
 From It's Rival Clubs


 If the Yankees can take one of their three remaining games with the St. Louis Browns, and break even in their four remaining games with the Washington club the Hugmen will enjoy the distinction of going through the 1920 campaign without losing a seasons series to any of the seven other clubs in the. league Two vic- tories over the Browns, three over Washington and one more over Cleveland would give the Yankees a clean sweep, which is quite possible even though the team may not win the pennant. The standing of the Yankees in games won and lost is as follows: With Boston-Won 13, lost g; with Philadelphia, 15-3; with Washington 9-9; with Chicago 12-7; with Detroit 12-7; with Cleveland 11-S; with St. Louis 1O.9. Only Wash ington and St. Louis can take the seasons series from the Tanks, the Senators by winning three out of four remaining games, and the Browns by taking three straight. The Yan- kees have won 46 games and lost 26 home this season. In the road they have won 36 and lost 26.

BRETON OUTPoINTs :
 BRONSON IN BOUT
At Baltimore (first game):

Cedar Point, Ohio, Sept Tack Britton of New York, we1terweight champion, easily won the decision over Ray Bronson, Sandusky, in a ten-round bout here.
 Bronson apparently lasted the full ten rounds through the generosity of Britton, who toyed with his opponent throughout the fight and never ap- peared to be in danger. Bronson had attempted to come back after six years of retirement.
 In a statement the champion claimed he could have knocked Bro1Aon out in the first round had he been so dis posed.
