BUSINESS AND THE FARM.
The Manufacturers' Record quotes Governor Cal
vin Coolidge. of Massachusetts, as saying: "There Is
no question that the south should raise its food and
feedstuffs to the largest possible extent, and for the
cotton it raises It ought to get a. price sufficient to
make cotton growing profitable. We want cotton in
Massachusetts, but I believe we shall, in the end,
get more cotton if the south raises more food
products."
Tha4 the south must, raise more food products if
the nation is to be fed, is beyond dispute; the great
issue today is greater food production, and unless
Escambia county farmers do their full part in this
production, we shall suffer from our, shortsight
edness. Escambia county farmers have learned a few sound
economic lessons during the past few years, and
most particularly during the world war. The most
important of these lessons, perhaps, is conservation
of labor forces; the shortage of farm labor in the
south has brought the southern farmer to a realiza
tion that he must run his farm on the same eco
nomic principles that a business man applies to his
business. Man-power has been succeeded by ma
chinery on the great farms of the west to such an
extent that labor shortage Is no longer the formid
able enemy to production that it was before modern
farm Implements came into general use.
The possibilities of West Florida and Escambia
county are patent to the world ; tha,t we have carried
off third and first premium at the state fair in two
successive years demonstrates what can be done,
when scientific methods are applied to farming; but
what we have to do now is to make our possibilities
pay, placing farming in Escambia county on a prac
tical basis.
The best method for this Is through cooperative
effort; a strong cooperative farmers" organization In
Escambia county would do more than any other one
thing could do, to place farming on the same plane
with other practical business movements.
Until the farmer applies sound business principles
to his farm, we cannot hope that food production
in this county will increase in any great extent.
Intensive farming, modern methods in the use of
fertilizer, machinery, marketing; all these must
ccme to pass, before Escamba county can taie the
place which is its right, and which a few business
farmers have already fully demonstrated to be pos
sible. There is no farming community In Florida which
has made greater strides than has Graceville in the
past few years; and this success is attrlbuable to the
cooperation existing between the farmers and busi
ness men of that section, and the strong farmers'
organization which has its headquarters at Graceville-
Not only is the market price kept at the top
notch all the time, but it is possible to get the very
best produce on the Graceville market, because the
reputaion of the Graceville market is such that
farmers come from all over that part of the state,
and even, beyond the Alabama line, to sell their
produce.
Graceville has learned the secret of food produc
tion; it is nothing more than the application of
sound business principles to farming; the farmer
will produce If he can get his market; and he will
get his market, if he will go about it along business
lines.
-A Cooperative Farmers' Association, composed of
representatives from the farming and business com
munities, would soon make of Pensacola as good a
market for produce as Graceville; and better, if one
may judge by the honors which have already come
to us, through the awards at the state fair.
started in Pensacola. there were some few obstruc
tionists who were opposed to the movement; that
their objections had no foundation, has been proven
'by the strong movement which other neighboring
towns are making to Install such presses at their
own ports. Jacksonville is the latest port to Inau
gurate a movement for a high density press.
Last year saw many movements started in Pensa
cola some of which are on the way to completion,
and none of which exceeds in Importance the high
density press. Which will be ready to take care of
the next cotton crop, according to those most direct
ly interested in this project, of such vital concern to
this entire section of Florida.
The game of life is lots of fun;
It's easy enough to play;
But before you play you must learn the rules.
Or there'll be the deuce to pay.
The American Legion has plenty of work cut out
for it, but I", does not seem quite fair to look to the
soldiers to do all the hard work, abroad and at

the rest of us to do some of the saving, "too.

The centennial seems to justify the newspapers
in the state in giving: Pensacola a friendly (?) crack,
every once in so often. Possibly the Breeze does
not know that the great World's Fair la Chicago
was held after the Haymarket riots. No one con
nected the two, which were as far apart in con
nection as are the centennial and the burglaries.
CONNECT THE TWO COUNTIES.
Prospects seem bright for the success of the Pen-saeola-Volanta
inter-urban railway, according to a
number of Pensacola business men. Interested in the
movement; It was announced yesterday that Bald
win county has about succeeded in raising its pro
portion of funds to be applied to the road. Much
Interest is being displayed by farmers and business
men of this section, who realize that such a road
would do much to build up this part of the state..
The connection of the two counties through an
inter-urban road would mean that from ten to fif
teen thousand persons would use Pensacola as a
trading center. The farmers in the Foley neigh
borhood are putting In a number of orange and
peach orchards; that section is already counted
among the most progressive in the south, and with
connection made between the two sections we should
have more and cheaper vegetables and fruits, and of
better quality than those shipped to us from markets
so far distant.
The bridge at Lillian, across the Perdido river, has
been in use now for the past two years; but the
road between Pensacola and Lillian Is in very bad
condition; while we are waiting for the inter-urban
road to become a fact, the county might do well to
give some attention to this stretch of roadway. Peo
ple in that section would come to Pensacola in in
creasing numbers, even now, were it not that the
road is almost impassable at times.
If the inter-urban road between the two counties
becomes a fact, and there seems every reason to be
lieve that it will soon take concrete form, Pensacola
will become one of the important markets of
Florida.
Uncle Joe Dixon of the Gadsden Times is coming

HIGH DENSITY PRESS BUILDING.
That the high density cotton compress will be
completed within a period of forty to sixty days, is
an announcement which will be received by the
business men of Pensacola and farmers of West
Florida with no small degree of interest.
That a high density press is one of the important
factors in port development is proven not only
through the experience of ports which have these
presses already in operation, but by the demand
which js coming from those ports which have not
yet Installed such presses, and which are finding
themselves handicapped, by reason of competition
with ports which are handling their cotton cargoes
in the modern way.
The high density press, which Is located on a tract
of about seven acres of land, near Gouldlng, and just
north cf the old Atlantic cotton compress, is well
under way, and there is every reason to believe that
the press will be completed by spring. The steel
work on the higli density press is under contract to
the Pensacola Shipbuilding Company, and the work
is well started.

FloridaPress Opinion
How Plan Will Probably Work Out.
John T. G. Crawford, Florida member of the Na
tional Democratic Committee has returned home to
Jacksonville from the meeting of the committee in
Washington last Thursday and says that the diffi
culty has been removed that would have made it
impossible for the Florida delegates to attend "the
national convention in San Francisco because of the
nearness in date of the convention and the date of
the convention and the date of our primaries when
the delegates must be elected. The date of the
national convention was made one day earlier, June
29, to cure the difficulty.
The Florida primaries are on June 8 and asked as
to the procedure in getting the delegates elected and
certified in time to get them to San Francisco as of
ficially accredited delegates. Mr. Crawford explained
that in the selection of delegates there will be no
second choice to be bothered with, the twelve high
est being declared the winners. The county canvass
ing boards while requested to meet not later than
one week after the primary date, on the 14th of June,
if possible, to canvass the returns for delegates only.
These returns would then be forwarded immediately
to the state canvassing board at Tallahassee, and if
the plan is carried out to the letter by the canvass
ing boards the returns from every county should be
at Tallahassee not later than the ISth.
The state canvassing board would require less than
two hours to count the votes and declare the win
ners. These could be wired, if necessary, of .their
success, and they could begin immediately to maVe
p-eraialions to go to the convention city. If neces
sary Mr. Crawford, as national committeeman, could
take the credentials of each member with him and
give them to the delegates upon reaching San Fran
cisco. Mr. Crawford Is confident that the pln can be
worked without any trouble if the importance of it
is sufficiently impressed upon each and every county
canvassing board. He will seek to have each com
mittee member at the meeting of the state commit
tee there on January 29 pledge himself as a com
mittee of one to do all in his power to bring about
success. Gadsden Times.

Second Sale of the Season For One Stockman.
The Pensacola Journal is kind eiwjgh to say:
"The Gainesville Sun has every reason to be proud
of the fact that it was the first Florida newspaper
to give out to the world the splendid news of the
sale of thirty-five head of hogs a 912,000, by a Flor
ida farmer, and well says: 'This was a wonderful
awakening to the possibilities of stockraising in
Florida.' "
Indeed it was a wonderful awakening to the pos
sibilities in Florida . When the Gainesville Sun
made the announcement of that auction sale, by Mr.
Herlong, at which thirty-five head of hogs brought
more than twelve thousand dollars, we might have
added that it was his second sale of the season. And
he has more on hand and brood stock enough, of
pure breed, to make his sale another year still more
wonderful. Alachua county is very proud of its in
telligent, wide-awake stock raisers, who are adding
so much to the wealth of the county and the state
And not only are they adding to wealth, but they are
benefactors. Gainesville Sun.
Just a Little on the Side.
Mr. W. R. Flowers, one of Santa Rosa's leading
naval stores operators and capitalists, who is pro
gressive along developnent lines, was moving his
hogs from outlying points to his still near town this
week. Two auto truck loads of these hogs were
stopped on the streets of Milton Wednesday and
elicited co small amount of favorable comment.
They are not pure bred Durocs, although showing a
strain of that breed in their make up, but they are
just a fine lot of thrifty porkers weighing around an
hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds, and will
make a fine lot of meat a little later, when they
will be converted into the great American product,
pork.
Mr. Flowers has about an hundred of these pork
ers, grown as a side line to his turpentine business,
which we opine will net him a handsome profit on
investment and cost of production- What Mr. Flow
ers has done, others could do, to their own profit
and the betterment of the country by increasing its
food supply. Milton Gazette
With the entrance of the United
States into the great World War came
the demand for an organization that
would see to the welfare and enter
tainment of the thousands of youths
assembled in the army and navy
camps situatr-i in various parts of
the country, this demand culminated
in the organization cf the War Camp
Community Service. Their efforts of
securing clean and wholesome amuse
ment and the solidifying of the spirit
of Americanism of the Dough Boys
with the singing of the national songs,
and the bringing together these
heroes of America with various com
munities in which they may have been
I located was so successful that the de
jmand for the continuation of the Com-
Imunity Service work since the sign
ing of the armistice is even greater
,than the demand which brought forth
the creature: therefore, the Commun
ity Service succeeds the D. C. C. S.,
but its scope of endeaver will be
broadened considerable, while the ser
vice men will receive consideration as
before, the present program will be
diversified with a view of developing
the American youth into real men and
women, by the application of Ideas
that are practical and sound.
To continu? the work undertaken by
the Community Service will require
funds, and as this community has been
one of the many to receive the bene
fits that have accrued under the old
organization, and it is believed that
the demand in this city today almost
unanimous for the continuation of the
program as mapped out, there is no
doubt that when the people are given
opportunity will liberally contribute
to this worthy cause.
The citizens of Pensacola may judge
the value of the Community Service
to this city after perusing the program
