It is (not to be wondered at that so- {many are at this time interested in Florida. “Should the European war icontinue, Florida will have to, rand can well do so in climate,' become the “ltaly, France and Spain and the Isles of the Medi- terrianean” to our wealthy trav- elers. | “To the farmer the possibili-, {ties of the great fruit and truck- [ing industry in Southern Florida' jare just beginning to be fully ap- (preciated and people all over the country are now fully aware that when the new apmcleas cactus hybrid propagated by Luther Burbank shall have be-l come fully established on the lands and localities in this state not .suited to citrus fruits and winter trucking, Florida will be- come the greatest cattle, hog and poultry section in the world. “The fame of Florida is spreading ‘round the world and ere many years no other state in| the union will be more re- nowned than this fair state.

The rapldlty with which set- tlers are coming into this part of Pasco county, the recurring selection of winter; home sites ,on the banks of the river or lake, are substantial evidences that |now Port Richey will soon be "one of the famous farming and tourists sections of the state. “But above all, Florida's cli- mate is indeed the marvel of the world—all those who have be- come inoculated with the Flor- ida germ of optimism and hope, join \\nh our beloved governor, Park Trammell, in his irresis- table invitation: “Come to the land of the palm and the land of the fruit and the vine; the land where sun shines brightest; the land where the ckies are the clearest; the land of all land, the dearest.” “And I might add, since my husband came here last fall racked with the tortures of rhe- matism and tuberculosis, and is now a well, strong and happy man—-"‘Come to Florida if you wish to enjoy good health once more— Florida’s balmy climate may be just the mcw]icinc you need—who knows? FLORIDA REFUSE PHOSPHATE FINDS GOOD MARKET Jacksonville, 16. Nuw‘ Zealand is making a determined hid for the entire output of Florida rocx phosphate refuse, which has, hereto- fore, been thought valueless. J. D. Rooney, secretary of the Marion county Joard of Trade, while in Jacksonville yesterday, stated that the Butten h Phos- phate company has received com-, munications recently from opera- | tors in a number of foreign coun- tries asking if the output of refuse could be obtained. One of the conn- tries that has been very persistent with its efforts to secure the supply is New Zealand. A recent survey of the fields near Dunnellon developed the fact that about 50,000,000 tons of this refuse phosphate has been dumped out of the mines and is now lying dormant in the fields surrounding the mines ready to be transported wherever desired. It is said that the refuse phos- phate has been found extremely val- uable for agricultural purposes, and the discovery has created a great |demand for the product. The phos- phato is ground like limestone, anu it is said that the thinness of the refuse phosphate eliminates the ex- | pense of grinding as in the case of ,the rock phosphate. The sale of the refuse phosphate, considered heretofore valueless, will ibring thousands of dollars to Flor- (lda in future. Sept. | + 5 {zowns on living models will be held len to. Fruit Growers | |Fla. Shippers Back Benefitted By War From Northern ,Marketl “How Farmer,” the, War Affects thL an article in the Coun- try Gentleman, of September| 12, by Roger \W. Babson, thcf lk-dl"l" authority on business! conditions in the United States,' describes the probable influence of the European contlict upun ll\nilld agriculture, as follows “The present time is a "oldul op ]mrllllllt\ for growers of cit- rus fruits, such as oranges, lem- ons, and grape fruit, pdrumlar {Iy the first two mentioned. A few years ago it was thought, that the Dest oranges and lem-, fons came from the Mediterran- ean u)llllll‘lt.s, but the concerted and cooperative efforts of the growers of citrus fruits have lergely driven that idea out of the heads of the American pub- lic, although a large quantity of foreign lemons are still used in this country. To drive fhe foreigner entirely from the \merican market all that is needed now is to produce in this country oranges and lemons in sufficient quantities to meet con- sumption demands.” As this article is very conser- vative the above has much weight. Florida was never so well fixed to meet the demand for citrus fruits as at this time. The crop soon to be put on the "'market is large and of good | quality. The Florida Citrus. ex- change is spending twice the money ever spent before in ad- vertising Florida citrus fruits. The new Lue Gim Gong orange is beginning to come into bear- ing so that Fldrida ripe, high quality oranges can be in the market every day in the year. This orange has been officially named the Lue orange. See United States department of ag- riculture year-book for 1913, page I2I. It is admitted that Florida cit- rus fruits are of the highest quality produced. Florida is located much necarer the large consuming sections of the Uni- ted States than any other place where citrus fruits can be pro- duced in the United States. Thus, the present excellent conditions in Florida are to be even better, according to very highest authority and ex- pert opinion.— Orlando Report- er-Star. | FOR A STYLE ACADEMY Chicago, Sept. 16.—An Ameri- can* academy’ of fashion design, to establish a national standard of women's fashions by agrecment of leading designers is the nlen which will be advanced at the session to- day of style “builders.” Leading fashion representatives from Chi- cago, Cleveland and other cities are holding a conference here during the Home exposition, which com- | mencesg today.
