The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-07-09

York or Arkansas will not suit Florida. because
the conditions are different But the question is
not whether some existing variety will function in
Florida, but whether out of all the millions possible
for every single apple seed is potential variety
one could be found which would fit the cond-
tons of this state And when the variety of con-
ditions under which apple culture now exists is
considered, the law of probabilities certainly fav-
ors the possibility of its extension here. Apples
grow at sea level along the Atlantic Coast. They
grow two miles above sea level in Colorado. They
grow in the latitude of Charleston, s. c., and
the wild crab, from which the whole race sprang,
and, by this time. possibly other varieties, grow
FIVE hundred miles north of the Canadian boundary.
The value to be derived from the introduction
of the apple industry in Florida can not be
measured by its probable cash income. Orchards
here would constitute the strongest possible at
traction for settlers from the NORTH for there is
no other tree which possesses so many intimate as
sociations. Science, backed by time, means and
opportunity, can accomplish almost anything. We
believe it could produce apple tree which would
flourish and fruit alongside the orange and grape
fruit and add its quota 10 the income of the state
Who is willing to play the role of Johnny
Appeseed?"

DID CORN ORIGINATE HERE

While Florida does not cut much figure
tonay as corn producing state. there is good
reason to believe that this cereal originated here
Arthur Burbank has recently proved. by expert
ments extending over period of eighteen years.
that corn is simply development of the grass
called teosinte. His proof consists in the actual
production CT corn by the repeated process of Sc
lection He accomplished in eighteen years what
it must have taken the Indians centuries to achieve
There is full and very interesting account of his
latest success in the current issue of the Literary
Digest.
Now, teosinte grows wild in South Florida.
According to the article quoted, it grows nowhere
else in the United States except where it is arti-
hcialy cultivated So far as we can ascertain
corn was not used by the western Indians, but
exclusively by those living in the Mississippi basin
and along the Atlantic and gulf coasts, as far
north as Massachusetts. 1t was extensively used
in Virginia and the Carolnas, and it is mentioned
by some of the early explorers of Florida. There
is no reason to suppose the grass from which it
was developed had any wider range than it has
now. Therefore, some progressive tribe dwelling
in this peninsula at some very remote period must
have begun cultivating the tcosinte. saving the
best heads or ears, for seed. and by process
similar to that recently employed by MIR. Burbank,
produced grain differing very widely from that
Of the original grass. and vastly more valuable as
a food product And the tribe-perhaps the
Seminoes or possibly their progentors-must have
been an influential nation carrying on some sort
of traffic with their northern neighbors as result
of which their favorite product was spread over
half of what is now the United States of America.
The Telegram does not know what researches.
if any, have been made along this line, but it would
be glad to hear from any who have investigated
it. If the nations greatest agricultural product
could be proved to be gift from the Florida
penipsuIa it would be distinction worth noting.

No, it is because garb that is considered in good
taste on the beach in the water is highly in
decent and to morals the moment the
wearer leaves the beach dock and steps on
another portion of the earth designated as

THE LOSING GAME
(By S. E. Kiser.)


He kept his eye on the clock for fear
That he might remain at his work too long;
He tried to seem, when the boss was near,
To be full of ginger and going strong.
But he grumbled much in a sneaking way
When he thought it safe to express his view;
Though he never worth the wage he drew.
He sneered behind his employers back,
And never consented to wish him we'll;
He slept untroubled when things were slack,
And worried little when prices fell,
"Whene'er I care to get out" he said,
There's plenty of jobs that are just as good"
He snarled at others who got ahead,
And claimed that he was misunderstood.
He wasted time when chance occurred
He took no to keep down expense;
He scattered that he had heard,
With evil purpose and lack of sense
Loyal service he left for fools
Who had little minds and were born to slave"
He found his pleasure in breaking TOOLS
His system failed such systems will;
They paid him off and they said goodby;
He is out the corner declaring STILL
"They done me dirt, and I can't see why!"
But blame him not for the course he chose;
Give him your pity instead of blame;
Poor chap he merely is of those
Whom the fates pick out for the losing game

PURE WATER

The announcement that the State Board of
Health officials after a thorough analysis and
examination of several samples of water taken
from hydrants and taps of Lakeland's waterworks
system, have found the samples absolutely free
from contamination of any kind and have de-
clared the supply 10 be 100 per cent pure, will
cause feeling of sincere satisfaction on the part
of every citizen There is no asset worth more
10 a community than pure water. That Lakeland
has pure water and of superior quality found
in few if any other communities in Florida. is
something about which it is proper to boast. The
supply is SOFT is free from the Objectionable taste
and cdors found elsewhere in this part of the
country and is sparkling as crystal. Few out
siders know that Lakeland people do not have to
bother to build cistens to contain rain water for
domestic purposes. Lakeland's tap supply is
ready for use under any and all conditions both
for drinking and outward cleansing. Lakelands
water supply is one of the city's best assets.

APPLES IN FLORIDA

The appearance of number of good speci-
mems of apples grown in Lakeland revives inter-
est in the long struggle TO introduce that fruit in
this state. Agricultural experts are somewhat
skeptica as to its feasibility. The great trouble is
that the apple tree here has no dormant season.
1t loses all sense of tme and blooms at awkward
and impossible seasons, when it blooms at all.
This is discouragng thing, but is it not pos
sibe that some Florida Burbank will overcome this
disposition and produce an apple tree that will
know how to behave itself?
One reason of so many failures, we fancy, is
that experinenters have tried to adapt old estab-
lished varieties instead of developing new ones
1t stands to reason that variety that suits New

MAKE IT NATIONAL

The success attending the efforts of the Chi
cago Tenants Protective League" are such
to suggest the advisability Of making it nation
wide organization Formed in response TO the
prohteerng passion of year ago, this association
secured membership of many thousand in a short
time, and effected magical change in the renting
system of the Windy City" Noting its good
strong formed a similar organization where a
fight of great intensity is still being waged for the
rights of the classes who live or do business in
rented property.
For years the maxim of the landlord has been,
all the traffic will bear" Rents are raised with
the most cynical disregard of all principles of
right House owning is regarded as a natural.
and, by some perversity of moral deduction,
justi6able monopoly, and renting as not subject to
the rules which govern ether business operations.
But the Chicago organization threw new light on
the subject. 1t saved tenants from 20 to $40
per year in rent charges. 1t secured proper sani-
tary equipment and repairs from unwilling land
lords. 1t established service bureau for the rent
ing GLASSES. II SCI up PIdCuCdl bCyCOtt Ol
the rent hog, as a result of which there are
5000 vacant apartments listed in Chicago, the
owners of which are said to be gravely consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of offering them at lower
rates. AT the same time, the organization is help
ing the landlord by assisting in the protection of
his property, keeping out dead BEATS, and es-
tablishng set of equitable principles, based upon
fair return for real estate investment, by which
rents can be fixed.
What this society has done in those two large
cities it can do in hundred smaller ones 1t can
standardize rents. The mere fact that man
happens to have two hundred dollar cottage on
beach which somebody wants TO occupy during
the winter does not justify him asking two hundred
dollars month for it. The fact that a convention
or other cause draws an unusual number of peo-
pie to locality is no real justification for raising
rents A national organization, adding seasonal
rates to its black list, and demanding Justice for
those who travel. or for one cause or another
do not own their cwn homes, while at the same
time seeing that owners and landlords got fair
treatment and the full worth of their money, would
perform bene6cence second to that of no other
agency now in operation.
