SCOTT s BOVINE, 4of sss ssriI aasE stree
FARMING IN FLORIDA.
Some of the Reasons Why This State
Offers the Greatest Inducements

The following from the Tampa
Times sets forth the advantages
Florida offers the farmers at the pres
ent time that comment would be SUI
lpernous:
1T is becoming generally recogniz-
led that Florida is about the only
state in the country that has any
really cheap land for farming pur-
poses. This state of things is due
to two facts. One is that Florida has
never been regarded as suitable re-
gion for profitable farming along
those substantial lines with which
the farmers of the country
are generally familiar. The
other is that the balance of the land
has been so assidiously sought and
taken that there is none left. that
may be considered cheap. N
ct is gradually becoming to be
known that staple farming can be
conducted in Florida with more CON-
fort and more profit than in those
sections which have heretofore been
regarded as superior. People are
learning that there may be raised cat
tie, horses and hogs with as much or
more facility than elsewhere. They
are coming nere in numbers to en-
bark in the production of live stock
The success Of these will bring 9TH
ers. and so. population will aecumu-
late and the prices of land go higher
though not for a long time to the-ex
treme now prevailing in the more fer
tile states.
'The farm of the future in Florida
will be large one, and land is never
high in price until it is thickly pop
ulated. When the lands of Florida
are covered with people in the pro-
portion that they will support, when
the cultivating people are fully occu-
pied, when the science of farming is
applied, when every acre is used for
all there is in it, when fertilizing and
intense cultivation are the rule, then
the price of Florida land will go to
a higher figure than anywhere else
in the country.
