Latham Candidate For Commissioner Belhaven Man and Dirt Far mer States Platform For Department Agriculture Belhaven, Feb. 11. ? F. p. La tham, of this city, today announ ced his candidacy for office of Com misioner of Agriculture subject to the Democratic Primaries to be held in June next. In announcing his candidacy Mr. Latham stated that the eastern section of North Car olina was the greatest agricultural section of the State and that so far all the Commissioners of Agricul ture have been chosen from the wes tern section of the state Under these conditons. Mr. Latham added, that he considered it nothing but fair that a representative of the eas tern section of the State should be placed in the office of the State Com missioner of Agriculture. Mr. Latham characterized himself as a "dirt farmer" and said that bis experience of 11 years on the State Board of Agriculture had convinced him of certain policies that should be adopted in the department of Ag riculture of the state of North Car olina. He advocated a "Llve-At Home" program for the farmers of the state in order to combat the ravages of the boll weevil and to make farming in general more prof itable by diversified farming. The candidate emphasized what he termed the necessity of the Depart ment giving mote attention to the, women of the farms and said that he would use his full inflttvnce if elected, to give every opportunity to the women's section of the Depart ment to carry out a fuller and more helpful program. He also advocated a close co-operation of the Depart ment of Agriculture and State College In so far as they related to the same work. -Mr. Latham said that it was a known fact that the standard uf_t!?ii -ertteenry ? of? the? rtrrsnifstrlcts of the state could be raised and the wealth and prestige of the state aug mented by increasing the farmers' revenue. The work of the Agriculture De partment said the candidate, should compare favorably with the work ac [ compllshed by the Highway Depart ment and should be as evident in the progress of the state. The platform of Mr. Latham fol lows. "Having been a dirt farmer all my life and having served as a mem ber at the State Board of Agricul ture for eleven years, I have some settled convictions as to the pol icies which should be adopted by our Agriculture Department. "In this period of agricultural transition brought about by the in vasion of the boll weevil. In my opinion the salvation or the farm ers lies in the' adoption of a "Live at Home program. My personal ob servation and experience extending over a period of 30 years has con vinced ine that a balanced system of diversified farming will insure this I can see no legitimate reason why the work 1/f the Department of Agriculture should not be as evi dent in the progress which we are making in the State as that of schools and roads. "It is a known fact that the stan dard of citizenship of tho rural dis tricts can be raised and the wealth and prestige of the State augmented by Increasing the revenue of the farms. I believe that a well organized department could accom plish this end and toward this gonl I would strive. "I am firmly convinced that the time has arrived when more atten tion should he given to the farm women and I would consider it my duty to see that the Woman's Df partment was accorded every op portunity to enlarge upon the splen did service already Inaugurated. While I realize that efficient service Is worthy of full compensa tion I am In favor of applying a strict economy to the administra tion of the farmers' affairs. "Realizing that the Interest of the Agriculture Department and State College are Identical. In' so far as they relate to agri culture, I am In favor of the closest co-operation between the two, to *he end that we might have co-ordination of effort in lieu of certain duplication that have here tofore existed."

GARRETT Florida's Everglades May Be State's Greatest Asset Onee l nil or Water Fraud Lands W lien Reclaimed Iiriii? T?i licali/alioii Dreams of Unfortunate Investors Who Sunk Monry In Them Years Ago liy KOltKKT T. SM VI.I. 1 Co?yn?ht. 1924, by The Advance Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 11. ? Some philosopher has said that all progress, all success in the world, is buildcd upon the failures of the past, the whitened bones of the pioneers. And so it happens today that the Florida everglades are ris ing from the water and thel muck to give back to the coun-i try a fertile area one-fourth tho> size of the entire state of Kan-1 sas. But there is in this news no note of joy to the lens of thousands of | persons all over the country who. years ago bought Florida plantations I and fruit orchards which proved up on closer investigation to be con-| cealed under some six or seven feet I of cypress water. Many persona were sent to jail as a result of these "real estate" promotions. Some of them are still there. Yet through the bars they see today that some of the things they promised, but could not carry through, are coming; to pass. Hundreds of persons, if they had maintained their rights in the prop erty bought and paid for, might! have profited from the recent devel-| opments. There was so much of j fraud, however, in some of the deal ings that the poor victims never had I the ghost of a chance. It will be years yet before most of the "grades" are reclaimed, although ! the drainage work is going steadily' forward day by day. Some parts of the glades near Miami are so dry at! times that they catch Are. The flames! extend even to the soil itself, for it 1 is rich in peat substances and burns right readily. The average tourist in I Florida v.* ho happens to strike the j lower state when there Is a fire in the glades feels he is being j "spoofed" when told about it and j thinks someone is trying to put over i a Swiss navy joke on him. Hut th ? j fires are a fact. Eventually the land i will cool off, it is said. Even as it j is, the fires an- not serious and are ^ easily controlled. One everglades eye rt bellaves j filUMigll pufft substances can be taken i from the one-time under-water land to furnish fuel for the electrification of all railroads and other utilities in the state. The possibilities of the i place in the view of modern science anil modern methods are enough to make some of the deluded Investors of the past turn over In their graves or. if still lixing*. to cry out in de spair. And still, the m< nev furnished by those who will never net anything i out of the 'glades, was responsible! for some of the earlier explorations | and engineering plans which finally j led up to the schemes of drainage I af^ptf'l l?y the state ar.d various de velopment companies. Thus; once| again, upon the disappointments and failures of the past, modern success! is being achieved. Twelve miles out of Miami, in j what was once the everglades them-i selves, a modern city has been built. One of the builders was (tleiiu H.j Curtiss, the airplane man. and nat-i urally one of the attractions is an Immense (lying field. The reclaimed j portion*? of the glades are as level asj a billiard table. Willi drainage completed, the problems of the ev? riilaUt s have by j no means been solv* d. One of tie problems. that of road huildiiig. i.? almost as difficult as the one which! has never been solved, the problem1 of which came flrst, tin- f?i; or ll??? I !????. As applied to the ulad?-s. llu* problem resolves itself into this: There is no incentive to bnild roads into a region where nobody lives. And there is no incentive t*> i | go somewhere to live wln re tl??re! j are no roads. rmtuestionahly tlif ] roads will have to go lirst. bnt who Is to finance them furnish*** the jireat I question. "Fingy'* Conners of Ihiffalo is1 building owe road from I'alm lieach to Lake Okeechobee, and the Tain iami trail leads .some 40 miles out ; of Miami. Hut this is not a great 1 deal when the vast area of the ever glades as "a whole is considered. The unreclaimed portions of the glades are still as wild a country as one can j encounter. Yet, the reclaimed portions are of j a blackish soil which suggests South ern Illinois or Iowa. Florida feels' that the glades, once the greatest ' fraud lamls of the world, will prove eventually to be her greatest source | of wealth. Candy Surprises!
