Froeks for tiny children cannot be made

than the little dress illustrated. which Is

JACKSON, THE RICHEST
WEST FLORIDA COUNTY
Contains More Farms Than
Any Other County in
the State.
SOIL RESOURCES ARE MANY AND
RICH, WHILE ATTRACTIONS FOR
HOMESEEKERS ARE ALL THAT
THE IMAGINATION CAN PIG
TURE.

Jackson county is West Florida's
richest agricultural county, and,
though its acreage is not the largest,
it has the greatest number of indi-
vidually owned farms of any county
in Florida.
According to the report of the com.
missioner of agriculture Jackson coun.
ty has 3,027 individual farms, with
total acreage under cultivation of 257,-
Ill acres;> and a valuation, including
improvements, of $2,270,66S. The pop
ulatiOn of the county in 1905 was 26,-
S24, an increase of more than 5000
over the population of 1900.
The county has an area of about $50
square miles, and this area contains
some of the richest land in the whole
state-land that now grows the most
cotton to the acre of any land in the
state, and that, taken as a whole,
will probably produce heavier crops
of almost any kind than can be
grown anywhere in the section.
Rich Soil.
The lands of Jackson county re-
mind one of the fertile timbered sec
lions of lower Iowa, and northern
Missouri. They are rolling, well wa
tered, and in many places heavily
tfmbered with hard woods, and every
where the hard clay soil needs moth
ling but the hand of the huSbandmaL
to make it yield heavily and regu-
larry with big profits where intelli-
gent methods are employed.
The writer travelled over Jackson
county in the latter part of June ana
everywhere crops were green and con
ditions appeared perfect for abundant
harvest. I saw corn, the equal of any
that | ever saw in Iowa or Illinois.
