W. BISHOP WOULD
.REORCANIzE STATE
FARM AT RAIFORD
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT IN
CONNECTION WITH HIS
CANDIDACY FOR COMMITS
sIoNER OF AGRICULTURE /
Especial to The Cifizen)

NASH, Feb. GOV. B. bud
dy) Bishop, Jefferson county
farmer and stock raiser and
speaker of the 1885 house, of rep
resentatives, advanced plan for
the reorganization of the Raiford
prison farm today as he announc-
ed his candidacy for election as
state commissioner of agriculture.
Since the Raiford land is I'M
productive for general farm crops
but suitable to livestock produc
ticn, Bishop said, he proposed
that it be used for the raising of
high grade breeding stock for dis
tribution at cost to Florida farm
ers. This would make the farm
competition of prison farm pro
duce with that of private pro-
ducers, he said.
Bishop said it also would be his
policy to use the portion of the
state advertising fund, under the
commissioner of agriculture's con-
troll, which is collected in agricul-
tural sections for paid advertising
in local newspapers to create de-
mand for and assist in the sale of
marketable farm products.
This plan, he said, would per-
nit profitable cash sales of stand
ard packs of syrup, sausage, cur
ed meats, canned fruits and vege-
tables and many other products
of Florida farms. He said he
favored the use of that portion OF
the advertising fund collected in
tourist areas for effective adver.
Using to increase the winter re
sort business.
Offers Cooperation
AS commissioner of agricul
ture, Bishop said he would co.
operate theoretically with the ma
tional administrations plan to re-
store farm buying power and bal.
ance the prices of what the farm
er sells with what he buys and
that he would work in close har
mony with County Agents to im@
prove crops and control insect
pests, the screw worm and plant
diseases.
The commissioner of agricul
ture is also prison commissioner
and a member of the state boards
which make I'D what is. in effect,
the board of directors of the state
and Bishop included in his plat
form planks covering his pro.
posals and policies as a board
member.
AS a member of the pardon
board, Bishop said he would show
~oa~cn?ble leniency to youthful
- c'c~~dors brit that he would
--~~-0 Nth "iron-clad determine
'-" III pardoning or parole OF
-0-.::~-cd criminals, especially
'+-7o "racketeers and gangsters
who come into our state to prey
upon residents or winter visitors"
"Florida owes to its own con-
science the elimination of fire
traps at the state hospital for the
insane and the squalid wooden
quarters assigned to white women
at Raiford," Bishop declared. "Wo
can thank a kind Providence that
we have escaped a major disaster
thus far" he added, "but it is
folly to continue to invite the de-
nunciation of the world by al
lowing insane persons to be crowd
ed into finder boxes that will
burn to the ground if a fire ever
starts"
