FLORIDA soil
IS PRODUCTIVE
STATISTICS SHOW POSSIBILITIES
OF DEVELOPMENT IN DISTRICT
TO BE ALMOST uNBouNDED.

Much has been thought. and more
said. about the unproductivity of the
the West Florida land. It is inter-
esting, likewise illuminating to hear
from several land inspectors, from all
over the country, that as matter of
actual fact, the West Florida soil may
be compared favorably with any soil
in the state.
It is true that the soil is varied.
that the good land comes in streaks
and that care must be taken in the
selection of farm sites. But it is not
true that, as has sometimes been said.
the general run OF land is not satisfac-
torily productive. The prices at which
lands are held may indicate pretty
clearly how widely the lands differ.
They are held, in this county, at from
s12 an acre to SIS an acre.
Statistics covering Baldwin and Es-
Gambia counties Alabama and Escam-
bia county Florida show the possibili-
ties in the district to be almost IN
bounded and scarcely started in de-
velopment. Sandy soils are to be
found in quantity and fertilizers
adopted to the various crops is at
hand through the fertilizer works at
Goulding. where information concern
ing the various crops may be obtained
as well. Clay soils are also to be
found in abundance and offer oppor-
tunities not to be found to any great
extent in the region Immediately bor-
dering Pensacola.
The sandy land is adapted to truck
gardening with comparatively little
trouble. after simple irrigation and
fertilizing preparations have been
made They are productive Of all the

soil, sugar cane, sweet potatoes. Irish
potatoes. cabbage. beets, lettuce, rad
ishes. peas, etc.
The clay soils produce cotton. oats.
hay, rice, cowpeas. beans and the
like, successfully.
Fruits do well in various soils. Sat
suma oranges, peaches. Strawberries
Japanese persimmons, and black ber-
ries are most profitable raised in
quantity or on a small scale, and
pecans of the highest grade paper
shell variety are to be found every
where.
1t is utter idiocy to attempt to grow
those things that the soil is not fitted
to mature. Minnesota wheat and New
York apples and cherries should not
be expected to thrive in a Florida
climate productive of sugar cane
and sweet potato crop that neither
northern section could possibly hope
to equal. Many nothern farmers and
manufacturers buy land without see
ing it. from unscruDulous land COM

expect to raise the same crops that
they are accustomed to raising or see
ing raised in their own regions. Then
they wonder why their efforts fail
1t is only common sense to investi-
gate property before trying to settle
on it. 1t is also only common sense to
grow on it those things which it is
fitted to bear. When that only rea-
sonable observance is considered. it
can honestly be said that West Flor

isn't getting, and that the cultivation
would be profitable to the cultivator
and to the district, well within pro-
portion to the labor expended in the
process.

 Petitioners who were interviewed stated that their desire to have a part in the coming state and national cleo tions and to be in a position hereafter to battle with their ballots against fur ther oppressive legislation were chief reasons for taking oath of allegiance to the country where the great ajority of them have earned their liying for many years.
 Among the large number admitted was a group of former service men. In becoming ci1zens the petitioners fore swore all allegiance to various countries from which they came-England, Scot land, Canada and other parts of the British empire Austria, Poland, Austria, Italy, Turkey and Russia.
 Not in years have so any men been ad- mitted to citizenship on one day in the superior court in this city as was the case on Wednesday.
 Answers to questions put by Examiner Church, representing the governent brought forth some amazing answers but on the whole the petitioners were quite well prepare and well informed as to the fundamental principles of the state and federal systems of government. It was more or less surprising to learn from some of the mems answers. however that Marcus H.
