POWER FARMING

The manner in which power farm
ing is taking hold with the people is
encouraging. 1t appeals to those
who want to be better farmers, who
want to do things in better ways, who
want to provide their families, their
wives and their boys and girls, with
the labor-saving devices that really
tighten sthe burden OF farm and farm
home work and that counts for re-
liability and efficiency in these days
Of advancement and to very large
extent overcomes the seriousness Of
human labor shortage. Times.
Union. '
That is the truth, and very i'm
portant truth. OF all states, Florida
has most to gain by the extensive use
OF power driven farm machinery.
With level, easily titled fields, there Is
no reason why Florida should not
take high rank in the production OF
standard crops, along with the spe-
cialties which have already made her
famous.

The government has no lands in the
west to give, except such as have been
passed up as not worth taking for the
last thirty years.
If the nation really wants to help
such service men as would like to
settle on farms, it can do so much
more effectively by assisting them to
locate in Florida, or in the cut-over
lands of the South, or in the settled
portions of the east. The west is full
of mirages, and none is more decep-
tive at this time than the vision Of a
farm home acquired by gift from
the government.

RESTORE WILD LIFE

Americas greatest shame is the in
human recklessness with which she
has exterminated many of the beauti-
full birds and animals which abounded
in this country when the white man
first came.
The magnificent bison has practic.
ally disappeared The wild turkey is
confined to a very few inaccessible
haunts. The wood pigeon is extinct.
Only by belated efforts was the beau.
tiful antelope saved from destruction.
Florida has been fully as thought
less as the rest of the country with re-
gard to the denizens of her fields and
woods. The famingo, the egret, the
parakeet, have been literally de-.
stroyed. Many other fine birds and
animals have been either driven away
or reduced to such small numbers
that they hardly count in our animal
population.
The Wild Life League, which has
recently been organized in Lee coun-
ty, thus has field of interesting op-
portunity before it. It's purpose is to
restore as much as possible of the
more picturesque features of wild life
in the southern part of the state.

FARMS FOR SOLDIERS

The project, now sponsored by
Senator Harding, to provide homes for
soldiers on undeveloped western
farms, is about as illusory as any
thing that was ever offered.
AS presented 1t carries the sug-
gestion that there still remain vast
areas Of unsettled lands which need
only to be plowed up and planted
to become flourishing homesteads.
The contrary is true. The available
lands Of the west are utilized more
closely than those Of the east. There
is less waste land adapted to farm
ing in Colorado than in Virginia.
Those who dream Of going west
and establishing home are liable to
overlook certain vital conditions. The
land is there, millions on millions Of
acres-fertile, easily cleared and i'm
mensely productive,--but without wa

cultural purposes. And, while the
land is practically unlimited, the wa
ter is scarce.
Every drop Of water in every west
ern stream is now owned by some
body. Each owner Of water rights
takes In the order of the priority of
his claim, Small streams are ex-
hausted before they run far from
their sources. Even the larger
streams, like the Platte, or the Ar
kansas, or the Rio Grande, run dry

less expensive than in the east, and
then it must be graded so that the
