E, McLin in Pensacola D1OFOTOPQIOIOFOIOFOTOFONNS £ OTOVO The source of all wealth is the land, and in the fecundity of the soii all classes of business success, and the blessings which humanity en- joys must forever have its source, is a truth which none will dispute. The prosperity of the agriculturist is the basis on which rests the suc- cess of every profession, industry and art. Under its benign influence the numberless avenues of commerce and industry factory, forge and mill, are stimulated to success, and millions of mankind find employment and a liv- ing as the result. On the contrary if agricultural Iy by its influence, and want and woe tiake the place of plenty, ness and centent, brought more forcibly or demonstrated more in Florida and as the to the front, clearly practice of di- versified as well as intensive tarming: advances, these facts are accentua- ted. Nothing so well demonstrates the correctness of these statements as the increase in value of agricul- tural or farm products shown from yvear to year, Without going further back than five years for verification of these statements, we produce fig- ures from the census. Figures on Farm Products. In 1904, the total value of farm products, including live stock, was $ALH16.756, In 1905, the value of the same products, including live stock, was $40,1301,814, In 1906, these farm products, including live' stock, were valued at $42,907,115. 1 1907-8, these products, including live stock reached the value of $46,-; 371,320, and in 1909-10, the value of the agricultural products of the sm(v- including live stock, was $56,- 12,734, This shows the annual in- crease for the years named about $4,000,000 while the increase from 1907-8 to 1909-10 was $10,341,- 414, It will be noted that the near- er we come to the present time, the greater the increase; this is true also of the volume of products, This is in a great measure due to the gen- eral adoption of better methods of farming and fertilization, as well as diversification of crops. Live Stock Valuations, It is in the soil products that the greatest progress is shown, although the increase in both numbers and value of the live stock and parti- cularly cattle, keep up well in pro- portion leading largely in both num- ber and value either horses, mules, hogs or sheep.

Number and Acreage of Farms. Further information is not lack irg to demonstrate with equal em- phasis the wonderful and r:-lpltl prog- ress being made in Florida in an au- vicultural way. Referring to the i last census we find that the number of farms in 1900 was 10814, in 1910 pit was 49,834, an increase of 9,020 or 22 per cent. The total acreage of these farms| |in 1900 was 4,261,000, in 1910 it was 5,231,000, an increase of 867,000 acres or 20 per cent, The improved acreage in these farms in 1900 was 1,512,000 acres, ].’md in 1910 it was 1,8 lan increase of 291,000 acres or 14 per cent. The actual acreage In these im- proved tarms in cultivation in 19049 10 was 157,546 and on these culti- vated acres was grown the product: of 1909-10 valued at §56.712,731, | including live stock. The value of land and buildings of these tarms in 1900 was $40,800,- 000 and in 1910 it was $117,623,000, an increase of $T8,822,000 or 188 per cent. In 1900 the value of the land alone in these farms was $30,823,000 and in 1910 it was $93,288,000, an in- crease of $62,465,000 or 203 per cent, In 1900 the value of the buildings on these farms was $9,977,000 and in 1910 it was $24.335,000, an in- years referred to increased steadily |« Q;OQ'O" § A DISSERTATION ON BABIES § QFOHOLOFOFQPOPOHGHOLOHFUPOLVPOIOBOIOTOPOBOICOPOIOPOHOP | Ababy is a large volume of noise )« entirely surrounded by safety pins.
