KISSIMMEE, Fla.-Florida is
betting on leading the nation in
beef cattle production one of
these days and has three big
aces in its hand: A big jump
in production; big Brahman
bulls; and Big Joe.
The huge, humpbacked brah-
mans ire great resisters of heat
and disease; and Big Joe is a
new kind of corn which grows
$50 to 100 bushels an acre a
year on muck land of which
the state has an abundance.
On top of this, the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture reported $4,000 beef cat
tie in Florida in 1885 compar-
ed with 42,46O,O0O in the en-
tire United States. BY this
past January Florida had 1,010,-
600 and the country had only
Al, 029, 900.
Figuring this out percentage
wise Florida had a little more
than ~ per cent of all beef in
in 1885 against nearly 22 per
cent now, thus almost doub-
ling while the country was los
ing nearly 100000.

report points out, it will be little use in
putting into effect the program in one coun-
ty and not in the other.
After a study of climatic conditions and
breeding habits of the insects, the report
recommended that the program be carried
on from March | to November /.
The initial cost for the first years opera
ton of the program in Jackson county is
estimated at $13,413, and somewhat more
than that in Harrison county. The cost of
operating the program in succeeding years
would be materially reduced because of the
outlay for equipment to get the program
going during the first year, including a fog
applicator machine at a cost of $1,000.
Adoption of this program by Jackson and
Harrison counties could be an outstanding
service to the permanent residents of the
two counties, as well as a tremendous boon
to the tourist trade.
We believe that the boards of supervisors
of the two counties should either appoint
committees, or have a joint session to thor
oughly study the proposal. The program is
no fly-by-night untried scheme, but has been
used with outstanding success by coastal
counties along the Atlantic coast and in other
areas infested with mosquitoes and flys. If
the money is available, adoption of the pro-
gram would also be a boon to health stand
ards along the coast through the elimination
of the disease bearing fly.

But Florida's cattle raisers
have a year-round active grow
ing season and they're begin
ming to take increased advan-
tage of it by planting improved
gasses, and legumes which in
crease productivity of the land.
The Brahman cattle have put
their increased size and their
heat and disease-resistance
into about half of Florida's
cattle, crossing with such as
Herefords, Aberdeen-Angu and
Shorthorns.
And Big Joe corn came from
DR., Roy A. Blair of the Ever
glades Experiment Station. He
developed the strain which will
produce around 80 bushels an
acre a season; and there are
two growing seasons for it in
Florida. There are also 10000
acres of muck planted to Big
Joe now. and the outlook is for
5000 acres in a few years.
So with improved cattle and
new means of fattening them
at home, it's small wonder that
some Flordians will bet you
that in the not too distant fu-
ture there will be more cows
here than there are in Texas.

SO. By that time, he believes
illiteracy would be eliminated
in the United States.
One difficulty is that litter
acy apparently hasn't been ade-
quately defined. Most authori-
ties agree that the 10000 900
estimate may be wide of the
true mark, one way or the
other. Until 1910 the u. S.
Census Bureau counted Tilt
crates merely by asking people
if they could read and write
in any language. If they
couldn't they were classified as
illiterates. In 1910 the census
classified people by their de-
gree of education-number of
years they attended school.
This is the origin of the esti-
mate that there are 10000, 900
people whout the equivalent
of a fourth grade education.
During the war the Army
used the fourth grade as the
dividing line between iliteracy
and literacy. This was based
on the wartime experience of
the Army. 1t found that as a
general rule people with less
than a fourth grade educa-
ton couldn't read or obey the
the simplest sort of orders.
Army officials say $4,000
soldiers between 81 and As had
to make their mark" with an
x because they couldn't write

Millions of words have been
witten about the beauty of the
human form. But when a body
has been in a speeding auto
mobile that collides with a sta
tionary object, it becomes a.
grisly, repulsive thing.
In Nevada last year an auto
mobile was going 80 miles an
hour in a 30-mile zone. 1t left
the highway on a curve and
ploughed with terrific force
into a tree.
The bodies of the young uni
versity law student and his
lovely 18-year-old girl friend
were hardly recognizable when
they were removed from the
core of a two-ton mess of
twisted steel. The student had
never bothered to really learn
how to drive the heavy car
that carried him and the girl
to ugly death in a split second.
Accidents like this killed 3d.
900 people last year. injured
100000 and caused huge
property damage. This year
there will be millions more
crashes. Thousands will die
horrible deaths. Thousands
will be crippled for life.
The biggest trouble, says
the safety expert, is that people
will just not take the auto
mobile seriously, although sta
tistics proved it to be a ter
rible weapon of destruction in
the wrong hands.
The tragedy behind our high
way death toll is that it could
so easily be prevented. A high
school student could write a
set of rules that-properly OBJ
served-would almost end the
slaughtered overnight.
Like any traffic expert, this
student can tell you that if
there were uniform traffic
laws fully enforced, and that if
drivers licenses were restrict
ed to those who prove ability
to drive. knowledge of the law
and physical and emotional
stability, it would be hard to

With Three Big Aces Florida Bets On
Leading Nation In Cattle Production

Until a few years ago, Flori-
da's cattle were mostly so
scrubby they seemed hardly
worth killing. They ate almost
nothing except hard swamp
grasses that contained little or
no nourishment. They might
have been milk cows, but their
udders never developed larger
than a mans fist.
A lot of these were probably
harum-scarum descendants o.
some the Spaniards left behind
when they explored the penin-
sula back in the sixteenth CEN
fury.
Later on the cattle fever tick
got into the state, creating a
serious setback to what little
production there was. When
this was eradicated with federal
help in the 1905, Florida was
ready and able to begin i'm
proving cattle and pastures.
There are two distinct cattle
areas in the countryside open
range where the animals Craze,
including Texas and. up to now,
Florida; and the north mid
western corn country where
range-fed cattle are sent to be
fattened for market.

pire. These people are few, so
few that we make a Today
sensation over their meander-
ings. With them 1t is Commun-
ism yesterday, Americanism to-
day and some other form of
ism tomorrow. They are, in
a way, pathetic for they never
know the calm peace of q con-
viction and r not capable of
being either an American or a
Communist, but doomed to the
tortures of mental gymnastics
and uncertainties.
We do not mean to imply
that these people should be
tolerated as teachers of schools,
or formers of local or national
policies. We mean that Amer
icanism is there for us to learn
and feel and know from the
time we speak our first word
until we die, and we should
not condemn our schools or cry
for the police because now and
again one or two or a dozen fail
to learn it or reject it. We fully
agree that we should have a
keen awareness of Alien "isms,"
both the Facist and Communist
variety. We also believe that
in opposing these ."isms' we
should remember that Ameri-
canism is not just a name. It
is a heritage, and as wa have
said, a perception and a knowl-
edge that roots itself in a calm
and firm conviction that indi-
vidual rights r inalienable
and not tied to the end of a
policeman's club. Unfortunate

ers too often forget this simple

The big job, says the ex-

He is amazingly Indifferent, al

I'VE know enough about pre-

enormous losses almost to the

The peak year of mass muir

highways was l941, when st.
500 people died horrible deaths
and 1,400,00O we're injured,
many crippled for life.
When the war was over,
driving controls were ended

national catastrophe. In 1916,
the highway murderers went
to town, killing 33,411.
Alarmed at the mounting
slaughter. President Truman
called a national highway safe
ty conference in 1916. The chief
executive, in angry mood, de-
clared that in some states any

corner drugstore.
The conference recommend

l. Adoption of uniform state
and local traffic laws.
2. Driving classes in the
schools.
3. Rigid enforcement of traf-
fic laws.
4. Adoption of minimum
standards for driving licenses.
5. Modernization of streets
and highways with adequate
markings, better lighting and
pedestrian protection.

Insect Control Program

The state health department, through DR..
Andrew Hedmeg, county health officer, has
recommended a program of insect control
for the Mississippi coast counties that would
be a blessing and a boon to this area through
the virtual elimination of our two worst of
tenders in this category, the mosquito and
the fly.
The recommendations were made after a
factual survey of the area by two entomolo-
gists of the state health department. The
survey included marsh and tidal lands In
both Harrison and Jackson counties, as well
as the outlying islands.
The entomologists estimated that Jackson
county has approximately 1900 acres which
form likely mosquito breeding grounds.
Under the program the area would be treated
five times yearly by airplane spraying. The
campaign would be supplemented by a lar
welding program, application of a DDT-oil
fog by d fog applicator, and a five-man crew
to take care of minor d~itching, and the fog
machine operation within the city limits of
towns and communities in the county.
The recommendation include the employ
ment of a full-time superintendent to co-or-
dinate the insect-control program. Other
employment would be on a seasonal basis
when TIE program is in operation. This SUI
perintendent would be employed jointly by
jackson and Harrison counties as, as the
