FARMING IN FLORIDA PAYS HANDSOMELY It is a noticeable fact that many of the farmers of the northwest who come to Florida on a prospecting tour begin at once to compare the soil of Florida with that of their own locality, entirely from the wheat. They look at the Florida sand and then think of the black loam of their northern farms and shake their heads in a doubtful man- ner as to the prospects of gaining a living from that kind of soil. They fail to realize that Florida puts forth no claims as a competitor of Minne- sota, Jowa and the Dakotas as a wheat producing State. But they also fail to realize that an acre of Florida sandy soil, plus the balmy climate of Florida, plus the proper fertilizer, will often produce as 9r much net cash as 25 or even 50 acres of wheat land. Twenty-five|,. bushels of wheat to the acre is a big average yield. This amount of grain sells at from 65 to 75 cents per bush- el after it is hauled to the local mar- ket. TIn other words, it is goad land, a good crop and stiff prices that brings back $17.50 to $20 per acre, gross. Three or four good or- ange trees will often yield this amount of mortey value and plenty of grapefruit treey bring that amount from a single tree. It is therefore obvious that to make any intelligent comparison be- tween the products of the two local- ities, all these well known facts should be taken into consideration. Of course there are chances to take on the orange crop. Some years the) yield is poor and sometimes the pries are poorer, but there are also many chances to take on the wheat crop, or a corn crop or a hay crop. In quite a large section of South Da- kota the past year the drouth was so prolonged that the wheat crop scarcely paid for the seed and the labor, without any profit to the land owner who rents out his land on the shares. This is not written to dis- parage in any way the magnificent |fflrminc sections of the great north- west, which have for years furnished the world with well filled bread bas- kets, and will continue to do so to the profit of those who cultivate. The statement is made simply to in- sist that in making comparisons, all the facts should be taken into con- sideration. If a man wishes to raise wheat and western cattle, and enjoys the cold climate, he should not come to Florida. But, as often happens, he for any reason desires to live in a warmer climate and he wishes to look over the opportuni- ltlos in Florida for making a living |at farming or fruit culture, he should bear all these details in his|: mind. To simply generalize with one eye shut and one ear closed, is not to know the facts or arrive at any correct conclusions. Without question, the same brains, industry and capital worked out in Florida will bring as much net cash returns as it will in any other locality. The best o f g rain at the highest price does not come without the most careful and intelligent labor. The finest of New York apples are; not produced in any easy haphazard manner. The high grade of long staple cotton will not grow promis- cuously on thin soll poorly cultivat- ed. Neither will profitable fruit and vegetable crops grow on Florida sand unless they are given careful attention. But that under right cultivation there is as much cash re- turn in Florida farming as there is with the same effort expended else where, is very easily demonstrated to any thinkiny person.—Orlando Sentinel .’ : STOMACH SUFFERERS Mayr’s Wonderful Stomach Remedy Is Recommended and Praised by Thousands Who Have Been Restored “I was a sick man for about three months caused from Gall Stones of the Liver and was told by three of our most prom- inent Ehy-ician: that I would have to submit to an operation to get relief, Lbut heard of your Wond, N ful Stomach Remedy and secured a full treatment and took it according to directions and passed hundreds of Gall Stones.
