robbing our children.

COMING BACK TO NORMAL

A reassurlng item OF news or particular interest
to all this section of southwestern Florida appears
in recent issue of the Manufacturers Record of
Baltimore to the effect that the plants of the United
States Guano Company the Union Acid Works,
the Standard Wholesale Phosphate Company and
the Standard Acid Works, all of Baltimore, are
now back to a full-time twenty four-hour basis,
operating seven days week. his has been made
necessary by steadily increasing volume of bust
ness coming from all parts of the country. These
plants, engaged in the manufacture Of fertilizers,
acid phosphate and sulphuric acid, are now run
ming at full capacity with enough orders in sight
to keep them busy for an indefinite period. The
Record notes that this revival of industry means
work for about seven hundred men, thus making
good start in relieving the distress prevalent in all
the big cities due to unemployment A statement
issued by the officers of the companies mentioned
above, intimates that the policy followed is to OPP
crate the plants at full capacity in order to obtain
quantity production and to therefore be able to
sell the products at attractive price, which price,
by the way, is actually below that charged in
1918 And while on the subject of fertilizers it
is also worth noting that this increased activity
among the fertilizer factories of the country is having
beneficial effect on enc of the huge industries of
Polk county, the phosphate mines. Tampa newspa-
pers report renewed activity in the shipment of phos
phate from Folks mines. several steamships hav-
ing recently loaded full cargoes at Port Tampa
for export Many of the mines are putting on
additional working forces and there are indca-
lions that within the next few months the phosphate
industry will again be in full swing. Already there

A WORD OF WELCOME

Lakeland is delig hted over the privilege of well
coming the members of the Florida State Hortcul-
turaI Society to the city. 1t is indeed great
honor to entertain such distinguished group of
men and women who are actuated by motive
far removed from any faint Of sehshness, the de-
velopment of Floridas Horticulture and horticulture
to the end that the State may increase in attractive
ness and become eventually veritable Garden of
Eden. 1t is a matter of universal agreement that
no section of our country offers more attractive
field for this kind of effort. A climate that makes
it possible to grow flowers and to raise all kinds
of fruits practically during the entire year, large
ly responsible for this unique situation. Hortcul-
turists find here just the right combinations for the
advancement of their enterprises; their field of eff
fort is so broad that there would seem'to be no
time in sight when it might be proper to say that
further advance is longer possible. And Flor
idians should not forget that credit is due the Hor
ticultural Society for much of the success that
has been attained by those interested in fruit grow
ing and the extension of the fruit industry in all
sections of the Stale This organization, while
behind the introduction of many splendid kinds of
new tropical fruits. has also been mindful of the
welfare of The growers with regard TO combating
diseases of all kinds that affect the fruits and flow
ers already making Florida their home. No one
can measure in dollars and cents. the service per-
formed so willingly on behalf Of, the people of
Florida probably the best outward method of
showing appreciation is by handing in dollar bill
to tie officers Of The Association thereby enrolling
as member. This will be a dollar well SPENT
a dollar that will do a big work for Florida in
preserving our citrus industry and in further ex-
panding the scope of fruit propagation and culture
throughout the State.
