Press Comment
state Swine Growers Meeting.

Florida has sprung into the limelight
as hog producing center in the past
two years and the pure breds that are
found on hundreds Of breeding farms
in the state have a high standing with
breeds of other states and are recog-
|nized as the most popular types. with
the best lines and development that
can be found.
The Florida State Swine Growers
Association has had much to do with
bringing about this desirable condition
and the meeting Of this association to
be held in Jacksonville this week is
fraught with unusual interest, as many
matters of vital importance will be dis
cussed and as special feature a sale
of some Of the choicest pure bred
hogs in the state will be held on Fri
day at the State Fair grounds.
The swine growers Of Florida are
recognized as high type of business
men and their production methods
might well be initiated by some Of the
biggest business men in the cities.
They have instituted system Of cost
that would put to shame
many of the big businesses of the lar
est cities. They can tell you to a
penny what it cost to raise each hog to
maturity and what the income from
each sow and her filters has been.
Every item OF farm management is
figured in the overhead expense and
at the same time much thought is
given in the direction of improving
the soil and feed crops and the gen.
eral conditions on the farm.
1t is true that many of the swine
breeders have been inbusiness in other
lines and have adapted and improved
their former methods to the breeding OF
swine, but it is only by studying their
herds, reading all available literature
on the subjects, attending these tri-
yearly meetings and constantly keep
ing in touch with their associates in
the breeding business that they are en-
abled to bring their breeding farms
and business to the state OF perfec-
ton that is enjoyed by some of them
in Florida.
At some of the first meetings of the
association two years ago, there was
considerable joking about the differ
ence between the farmer and the agri-
culturist and Harry Hoyt and Mr.. Sim
mons and even Mr.. Herlong were used
as the butts for some of these amusing

THE REASON WHY.

st. Petersburg is one city in Flor
ida which has no cause to protest
against the census returns. having had
an increase in the past ten years of
245 per cent. the population numbering
|14,237. This is a far greater percen-
tage than any other city in the state
has shown.
There are number of reasons for
the growth of st. Petersburg, the chief
of which is Publicity. 1t is impossible
to build up a town unless people know
about it; everybody knows about ST.
Petersburg. The name of the pretty
South Florida tourist resort is seen
|oftener, perhaps, than that Of any
other Florida town in northern news
papers.
The reason for the great amount of
free publicity received by st. Peters
burg lies in the fact that the simplest
events are sent out by letter, and i'm
portant matters. by wire. all over the
country, without charge. Already st.
Petersburg is noted far and wide for
it's fishing and its winter tournament.
This tournament is nothing more nor
less than the old game of quoits, or
pitching horse shoes; it goes by
high sounding title, that is all.
The Chamber of Commerce of ST,
Petersburg has publicity department,
the duty of which is to keep st. Pet
ersburg, on the map, and this has much
to do with its growth. But there is
another reason, and one which possi-
bly, ranks almost as high as the adver-
Using, and that is the effort which is
made in st. Petersburg to attract tour
lists. Sooner or later a number of these
tourists become residents.
A story carried recently by the st.
Petersburg Times illustrates. the dis
position in the little resort city to
keep the tourists contented and happy

Who viii Pay For Good Roads7

Here is 1t just as we received Il
through the mail:
Editor OF Evening Record:
Tt would seem as if the easiest and
fairest way to raise money for gooo
roads in Florida would be by raising
the automobile license fee. Connec-
ticut has a network of fine state roads
connecting all her towns. The license
fee is SO cents per horse power. A. L.

bile license tax; it's fairness to all
concerned; its effectiveness in securing
results; its sightedness in provid-
ing for highway upkeep and mainte-
nance. 1t will do not harm to once
again briefly mention the fact that the
voters of Florida in supporting the
proposed constitutional amendment
providing for levy Of per cent on
the total amount of state valuations
will not have to bear any increased
taxation. In other words, this per
cent will not be levied against property
owners but is to be met by a grad
uated scale of automobile fees that will
not only provide the amount required
for road building, but will meet an in
terest charge and absorb the principal
in a remarkably short space of time.
Florida voters should also remember
that in voting for this amendment and
providing this money every dollar so
provided will be duplicated by the fed
eral government. With these facts

OPPONENTS OF ROAD
 BONDS MAKING LAST
 MINUTE CAMPAIGN

The opponents of the county high way bonds were unusually busy yes terday in the circulation of Why Vote No" cards. Emissaries were making a house to house canvass and the methods of some of them were not above reproach.
 One man working in the northern part of town, on presenting his card at a house, accompanied 1t with the by the board of supervisors. That was so astonishing to one lady who had supposed that the board was fa- vorable to the bond issue or it would not have called the election, that she telephoned to Clerk Clarence Stand age of the board.
 MT. Standage went out and, overtak- ing the circulator, brought him in. He was asked if he had been instructed to make such false statement. He replied that he had done it on his own initiative and pleaded ignorance of the attitude of the board toward the bonds, but he supposed that his cards ought to have some official backing, something more responsible than the name Council of Defense"
 Another gentleman to whom one of these cards was presented questioned the circulator. who said that he was merely hired but that his heart was in tho work.
 Why" asked the gentleman.
 The circulator was not sure why, but he thought the taxpayers were too heavily burdened.
 Are you a taxpayer"
 "No.'
 The circulator further admitted that he was not 6 Democrat, not a Repub- l1asH k-et a Socialist
