PROGRESSIVE NEW SMYRNA
NEW SMYRNA Is situated fifteeu

NEW SMYRNA is situated fifteen
miles south Of Daytona and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by
a hard sHrfaee road winding through
one OF the most picturesque parts of
Florida
With its ancient ruins dating back
TO a time when the history of man
runneth not, interlaced with wires Of
the modern telegraph and telephone,
its miles OF shell streets as hard and
smooth as a floor and over-arched by
hoary forest giants that grew in state
ly grandeur during the lapse of by
gone centuries, New Smyrna is truly
a place of romance and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
too is TO be foEnd the best fishing and
hunting IN the State of F. ida
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men enterPrising, and all unite
in extending the welcome hand of
hospitality to strangers. There are
Eve church edihces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rary, and up-to-date business houses.
There are any number Of pretty
homes for the permanent population
which numbers close &c 1000, and
some very fine winter residences.
There are good hotels and boarding
houses where you can find accomo-
daticns to meet your requirements.
Adjoining New Smyrna is as fine a
section Of vegetable land as can be
found anywhere This land has
been divided into small farms which
can be bought At reasonable prices
Some Of che finest celery grown in
the State is raised on this land. All
other vegetables grow in abundance,
and here, too, is the home Of the fam
Gus Indian River oranges.
New Smyrna has no bonded in
debtedness and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail
to visit is the ruins of the Old Span
iSh Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles |
southwest Of New Smyrna. A good |
road leads to the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile. |
Silent in the great pine fats by the !
margin Of the forest, is this place OF
pilgrimage for the PiOus; this rea-
dezvOus for the picnieker. The rains
are extensive, and while there is no |
authentic history Of their origin, il
is presumed that the Mission was
built by the FranciscznS in the days 1
when the once powerful kingdom Of
Spain first planted its flag upon what
is now American soil. II was built 1
Of cOquinA, the roof being Of the

Wood ashes are of use for fertilizer

but it has never received an Impetus
until the government took hold of the
matter recently
The demand for this product is
growing. There are a number of
varieties of willows, but those adapted
to basket making thrive best where
they are not shaded. They do not
necessarily require marshy lands, but
because they need a good, rich soil
and canno tolerate shade, they are
generally found where other trees do
not exist.
Rods grown on moist, rich, we'll
drained bottom land are more flexible,
tougher and less branchy than those
grown on undrained marshy land.
These trees will thrive on land that
