GETTING RESULTS

If all the money spent in entertaining the Ma
tional Editorial Association had been spent in buy
ing advertising space it would not have paid for
much more than has been used by the visiting ed
itors in writing up their experiences and describ-
ing the country. And if it had been used in buy
ing publicity. matter it never would have brought
the same amount of pungent, readable, sometimes
eloquent descriptive matter, under the signatures OF
men of ability and high reputation in their respec
tive communities Treating it as a cold mercenary
proposition Florida has already received more acl-
vcrlising than it could have got with tho same
money any other way.
AS 10 the reading matter itself as shown by tho
scores Of papers which have reached this Office from
the north, it is exactly what the state needs 1t is
noi cxtravagant, or gushy, or filled with startling
statements CT any kind but the deliberate express

Of dcusions which arc very difficult for Interested
those articles will learn, 10 the surprise Of some Of
them that Florida is not land Of poverty: that its
razor back arc not common landscape features,
that its live stock is as good as any found in other
states, that ii houses are modern and comfortable
that its highways are unsurpassed, that its inhabi-
tants arc intelligent and cultured and inspired by
genuine southern hospitality. that its climate is the
nearest perfect to be found in America. that its
scenery is varied and beautiful and that its oppor
tunltles for enterprise unsurpassed.
Hundreds of thousands who never saw Florida
have already read these articles. Perhaps the i'm
mediate result will not be a band wagon rush, but
rest assured that many have become inocu-
lated with the Florida microbe, and in due season
they will report for the first degree, that of the Tin
Can Tourist from which they will gradually work
up to the exalted order Of jewellers in Florida, and
in the end become full Aedged crackers.

FIRST PRINCIPLES OF FERTILIZATION
Lake Wales Highlander


The great lack of many Florida soils is humus.
The intense heat of the sun and in many cases
the influence of forest fires has burned out the
humus content of the soil. and reduced it to
condition of barren inertness incapable of grow
ing crops. Were it impossible to supply this very
necessar element the case would be hopeless,
indeed and the future of Florida agriculture
would be desperate.
But nature has been kind to Florida and pro
vided multitude of plants, which incorporated
in the soil by the pillow, fill it with humus. The
humus acts sort of sponge, retaining the
moisture in the soil and rendering the plant food
soluble and capable of absorption by the plants.
So the farmer has method of improving his soil
though it be slow and labcriOus.
Lattery the chemists and scientists have
to his relief. Florida has millions of acres of muck
and peat lands those of Polk county being the
richest in heterogeneous content OF any in the world,
it is claimed. Peat is nothing but concentrated
humus which has been forming since the begin
ming of the world. Now company has
ganized to manufacture organic fertilizers by
using this mined peat in combination with fish
scrap and inoculate the two with pantfeedng
bacteria. 1t holds immense possibilities for
the farmer who will get better fertilizer at very
much less price and is another illustration of the
wonderful resources of Florida.

hogs and cattle and could easily push to first
place.
Such county is, in ITSELF an asset. That is to
say, in addition to the value of the things pro-
duced. the fact that they are produced, or can be,
in one single county, gives that county prestige
which has a positive value as an element in its
further progress.
The Telegram would like to see the county
community spirit fostered. 1t would like to see the
pride which centers itself in towns or neighborhoods
spread out to include the whole county. And
there is not better place on earth to develop that
spirit Polk contains many beautiful and interest
ing towns and villages. Each has its own peculiar
characteristics, but all possess much in common,
The frendliest feelings should be cultivated among
them. All their common interests should be pro-
noted
In other words, the produest bost Of each of
these localities should be that it is part of Polk.

WHAT DID HE MEAN2

In President Harding's address at the unve-

attention to the fact that Bolivar, like Washington,
elevated by fortune far above the needs of his
time, and did not stand to gain any personal ad-
vantages from the revolution which he headed
This point struck us at the time as being a mere

later noticed that the editor of the Louisville
Courier Journal struck by the same observa-

What then, is the underlying noton7 Trans
lated in the light of the political standpatter, it is

How sweet that song would be if she could hear
Along with mel" all that | could say
There's nothing wholly good and pleasing dear
When you, my major portion, are away.
Tonight | saw sunset; FURNISHED gold,
And vision-whelming crimson were its hues
A finer sight earth-eyes may behold;

To watch with me this glorious death of day
There's such piteous portion of me here,"

THE LINDSEY BILL

While there are some Objectionable features
in the Lindsey bill, those features are not the
against which protest is being made at ampa,
Miami and other cities where riparian rights con
sttute vital question. Their objections go to
the underlying principle of the bill, sufficiently set
forth in The first section as follows:
Section 1. That the title and ownership OF the
beds Of all tidewaters including the beds of navi-
gable lakes and rivers up to and including high
water mark and the waters over them lying
within this state, are and shall be, held by
the state in its sovereignty subject to the power
of congress to regulate commerce in the said
ters, and the said lands may be sold, granted
leased by the trustees of the Internal improve
ment fund herein provided
Opposition to the bill is based on the fact liza,
private persons and corporations have occupied aud
improved strips of land coming within the deGni-
ton OF Underwater lands. and they arc appearing IN
the attitude of defending vested rights
In all the discussion this fact must be re mem
bered The Lindsey bill does not change, does
not attempt to change, and could not change if
tried, the legal status Of the lands in question Ii
simply reassers the right of the state 10 property
which always has legally belonged 10 it, and pro-
Wdes for its use and disposal by the state.
The contention that it takes land away from
private citizens or nterferes with the enjoyment of
,fwhat is legally theirs, utterly without founda-
<ticn 1t does not deprive any citizen of one foot
IF land to which he has just title
J The riparian holder is ''squatter. He set
tied on. improved, spent money on and used land
which was not his, and which he knew was not his
His sole right is the right of wrongful possession
- The tidewater lands belong to the people of
Florida, and always have belonged to them While
the question looms large at this time in few locali-
ties. where apparent hardships will be worked by
the re-asserton of the states title it will appear
infinitely larger when the future of the thousands
of miles of coast is considered and the vast prop
erty rights which the people of the state will lose
if this bill. or at least the underlying principle, is
defeated. is considered.
Other states have had this same fight, met the
same opposition and overcome it, and settled the
question in the interest of the people. Florida will
do the same, and it would be better even to COM
pensate the comparatively few holders of state
lands and let their opposition than to aban-
don to private exploitation property which would
eventually bring millions of dollars into the treas
ury of the commonwealth
