Pecan Industry in Florida.

The following is from the Times
Union:
''The Florida Pecan and Pony Farm
Company was organized to take ad-
vantage of the natural advantages
offered in this section of the South for
the growing of pecans, the raising of
stock and for general farming and the
development of every industry to COM
mend itself to the enterprising citizens
of this state.
Several of the leading business men
of Florida who are interested in this
company, were led to careful consider
lied the formation of the company, by
the offer of the owners of the large
pecan grove and Shetland pony farm
at Olustee. There is a pecan grove
there which exceeds anything of the
kind i'm the state. Five thousand trees
are in bearing. and have been prOduc-
ing good returns for the money invest
ed. In addition to this, there are a
great many acres OF land included i'm
the Olustee offer which are adapted to
general farming, and which are known
as being fully UP to the standard of
the very best farming lands in the
state
"Last year the grove produced 49,
900 pounds of nuts, and this yield is
to be increased from year to year.
The indications are that the grove will
yield profit of at least $4,000 an
nually. All of the trees are healthy.
and most of them are bearing a good
quality of pecans
1.-The pecan grove is the largest pro-
position Of the kind i'm the state, and
has been commanding a great deal of
attention. The trees have been watch
ed carefully and have borne out the
statement that the growing of pecans

which was formerly used as a water
pumping station by the Miami water
works, and the building seems of no
use except to allow the curious travel
er to get on the second floor and look
out over the wide eNpanse of the
Everglades. Looking west from this
elevation the landscape is absolutely

except those of the Seminole Indians,
until the Gulf coast is reached across
the peninsula. and | doubt if even
there any habita ton exists, for the
Gulf coast opposite is very wild, little
known and given over to mangrOve
and cypress swamps. The Everglades
are one stretch of SAW grass, shallow
water running over coral bottom, lis
lands here and there, standing Il few
inches above water, just dry enough
to allow palmettoes and sometimes a
solitary pine to grow. In size this
Everglade region is as large as the
states of Connecticut and Rhode Is

idable saw grass which, if given a
chance. will cut your hand to the bone,
Everglade travelling is not popular, and
the white men who have crossed this
mysterious and desOlate waste are very
few.
Leaving the weird but fascinating
scene as the shadows were lengthen-

the royal palm in long streamers across
our path, we poled our hand car back
through the jungle, boarded the launch,
and were soon being carried rapidly

Jacksonville, of st. Augustine or of
Miami. To such people the word Flo
rida calls up visions of moss laden
trees. of forests brilliant with tropical
flowers. or large orange groves with
groups of admiring tourists wander
ing beneath their golden bsughs, or of
alluring lanes lined with cOcoanut
trees and royal palms. Florida has
all these wonderful sights, and many
more besides. But when a friend
who has been as far as Jacksonville
or St Augustine, or perhaps to the
OrmOnd- DaytOna beaches. returns
North and is questioned about the
pineapple groves, or the bananas, or,
what the royal poinciana tree looks
like. he has to confess that he has
seen none of these things, and in spite
of other interesting relations i'm their
place, his Northern friend Immediately
concludes that all the stories of trOpic-
al luXuriance and prOdigality in the
world of nature in Florida has been Il
myth and delusiOn.
The trouble is that many people
who have never visited this fair state
forget its size. and range of latitude

southern tip of Florida as it is from
Montreal to the coast of New Jersey,
