SELLING POTATOES.

It has come to my ears that a good
bit Of adverse criticism has been made
by some few of the merchants of Pen
sacola of the farmers of Escambia
county for having shipped their pota
toes to northern markets this season
and not waiting on the local market
to consume them.
Those who make these criticisms dc
not understand the situation Of the
farmer or they understand it too well
and had some Interior purpose for
wanting the farmer to hold their pota-
toes until the local market was ready
for them. II the latter was their
course they are now simply croaking
because the potato growers have foil
ed their purpose by shipping.
In the first place / cannot under
stand why any man, or merchant. let
his business be large or small, should
adversely criticise the farmer for what
he had done for himself by shipping.
but can see why he (the farmer) should
receive words of ccngratulation and
for having thus broken
the chains that have so long bound
him to the inadequate local market.
/ rather believe they do not under
stand the situation of the farmer. In
the first place no one can deny the
farmer the right to sell the product Of
his efforts where he can get the most
for 1t. This is one of the great privi-
leges OF being an American citizen. 1t
was impossible to sell potatoes on the
local market, in quantities. at all, and
retail or small quantities at any thing
like a reasonable price. In fact at the
time that the potato growers shipped
they received wholesale more than
they could get retail on the local mar
xet. This statement may not be true
with a few of the farmers but it is true
II the great majority of them. In fact
there were some potatoes sold on the
local market as low as $2.25 per busnei.
There has been and will be as many
Is nine cars Of potatoes shipped from
Escambia this season. Five OF them
he same week, almost. What would
nave been the result on the market In
if five car loads had been
bumped on the market OF Pensacola
n one week in addition to some old
potatoes by the wholesale houses OF
he city? Can any of us imagine where
he end would have been? The pota-
oes would have rotted or been fed to
he livestock when the world was
needing them and crying for them.
There would have been no profitable
ale for them in Pensacola. BY shipping
hese the market here has held up
airly well and the farmers who did
lot ship their potatoes have those who
i'd to thank for the fair market in
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1920-06-15

Pensacola today.
Suppose that these potato growers
had to dig their potatoes. as they
would have had to done to get in new
crops, and let them lie out of the
ground few weeks before marketing
them. How much would they have
lost in weight? In other words what
would have been the shrinkage?
And. too. it is almost impossible to
keep Irish potatoes in this climate un-
less you are well prepared to cure
them and handle them. And these
farmers were not prepared. What
would have been their loss from decay?
That is impossible 10 say. But any
one with experience with Irish po-
tatoes knows that it would have been
heavy in very few weeks. Especially
this season for the potatoes at that
time were full of water from the
heavy rains and fast growth and the
sun or temperature was, very warm.
There is yet another point Of vast
Importance as regards this particular
action of the potato growers. BY ship
ping they could dig their potatoes,
carry them to the car, get their money,
go back home and go to doing some
thing else These farmers live from
seven to twenty miles of Pensacola.
One farmer who lives about fifteen
miles of the city had about eighteen
bushels of potatoes. He said that he
would have had to make about three
trips to Pensacola to dispose of them
This would have consumed about three
days. He considers his time with his
teams at any season on the farm worth
$3.50 per day. At this very busy sea-
son it would have been worth a good
deal more. This three days would have
added a minimum of $11.50 cost to his
eighteen bushels of potatoes. This is
at very typical case. Even though
they could have got the same price in
Pensacola, was it not great saving to
them? They were given more time to
the farm to produce more, is the world
not better off? Isn't Escambia as well
off, her farmers having been enriched
the more? And since the consumers
paid as much for the potatoes sold by
the farmers 1925 per bushel as they
did for those sold at $3.50? Isn't Pen
Sacola as well off?
From the above conditions the farm
ers who shipped say they saved byl
doing so, some say 80 per cent, some
so per cent, and one man said rs per
cent, of the value of their potatoes. No
one knows just how much was saved
Or made, but any one acquainted with
the situation realizes the saving was
great. And let me say for the farmers
Of Escambia County that they would
be glad to sell their produce in Pen
sacola, but Pensacola has not proven |
70 them that she can take care of it in |
Quantities at a fair price and until she |
loes the best will be shipped to north |
srn markets and the other dumped on |
he Pensacola market, as it is done TO-
lay by farmers of Baldwin County, |
Alabama.
No, the farmers of Escambia County
ire anxious to sell in Pensacola, but
must first pursue a course of self
reservation and play the game of
elf defense, which they have done this
eason. And 1 want to add, they have
played the game well.

County Agent.

DO YOUR PART.

The board Of public instruction has
been asked to call an election to deter
mine IL the special sub-tax school dis
trict is to bond for 100000 for a new
high school building and other needed
school repairs.
There is nothing of so great import
ance before the people OF Pensacola to-
|day-not port development, nor road
building nor any one of the other mo-
mentous problems-as the education of
the youth Of this city and section.
During the world war the number of
men in this country. who had not been
given a square deal in the way of edu-
cation, was appalling. The people of
the United States have awakened to
the value of compulsory education.
But of what possible value are these
laws unless the student is given his
chance after he enters the school room
1t is up to Pensacola and Escambia
county to put above all else the needs
of the boys and girls. the future di-
rectors OF the affairs of the nation, the
state and the municipality. In the
hands of these boys and girls our des-
tiny lies: upon the way they utilize
what is given them, and upon the value
of our gift to them. the future of this
republic may rest.
Let us be square with them. Let US
give them a fighting chance. We owe
1t to them, to ourselves and to the
community.
At the commencement exercises of
the Pensacola High School, both the
and valedictorian spoke of
the needs Of the high school. Those
needs are very great A school build
ing is needed and equipment of many
kinds, besides the need of instructors.
The graduating class of the high
school was very large. one OF the larg-
est in the history of the school These
boys and girls felt that, in many ways
they had not been fairly treated. And
they had not been. But there is one
thing to be borne in mind, always. And
that is that nearly every student who
goes through the high school gets far
more than he gives.
We are too prone to look upon all
public institutions as belonging to the
state or community. But every public
institution belongs to the people. So
4 the high school failed, the boys and
girls have this to remember-it was
