SMALL SUGAR BEET CROP Washington, Sept. 2.—With the price of sugar higher than in many years, indications are that the coun- try’s sugar beet crop this year will be the smallest since 1910. A fore- cast of 4,826,000 tons has been an- nounced by the Department of Agri- culture, as against a production of 5,619,000 tons last year. A ——— The whole world is now suffering from the inflated price of food- stuffs resulting from the demorali- #ation of war. The people of Florlda have in their hands all the facilities neces- sary for supplyving all of their own needs and the needs of many hun- dreds of thousands of other people in almost all articles of food and in meat products. Florida has unsurpassed facili- ties for supplying the nation with fruits and vegetables, and our peo- ple, it is true, are annually improv- ing these opportunities. On the other hand, Florida has vast undeveloped advantages and resources which ought to he turned to profitable account in the produc- tion of enormous staple crops and in furnishing a very large portion of our nation's meat supoly. Florida’s farming industries are in their infancy as compared with what they will be when our people fully develop the State's possibili- ties. We have the climate and the soil and the labor. We have the trans- portation facilities and the markets and could produce sufficient for our needs and a surplus for other mar- kets. Yet the people of Florida an- nually pay to other sections hun- dreds of thousands of dollars for foodstuffs for man and beast. The European war has aggravat- ed and emphasized this situation. Our people are paying exorbitant prices for provisions which Lhey can grow at home. The war may be in- definitely prolonged and prices cen- tinue to advance. The wealth of the State of Flor- ida will be increased by many mil- lions of dollars and the independ- ence and welfare of our farmers will be vastly enhanced if they will profit by the lesson now so forcibly before them and begin as soon as possible to cultivate food crops on a much larger scale, and to take advantage of Florida's unsurpassed advantages as a stock-raising and meat-producing State. T hope that it will not he con- sidered improper for me to suggest and urge upon the people of Florida who own or control land that they proceed at once to arrange for the planting and caltivation of as ex- tensive fall food crops as their cir- cumstances will permit, to the end that, regardless of the duration of the great European war, there may be an abundance of such produce raised by our own people for home consumption” and for sale in other markets. Such activity is bound to redound to the material financial advantage of our farmers and to be of great benefit to all our citizens. This very important matter is submitted for the serious considera- tion of all Floridians interested, di- rectly or indirectly, in farming or fruit-growing, in the confident be lief that it opens the surest and the easiest way to an increased prosper- ity and happiness.

When the crowd was thickest, ac- cording to parties witnessing the spectacle, Roy Taylor went among them and endcavored to sccure fif- teen men to unload a car load of brick, offering them cash. He se- cured only two men and when these saw the car load of brick they de- cided they did not want work. | ————————————————————
