But in the fatal eleventh Swain,

not good enough for this city but
who has beaten her ever since he

Breen came along and put the ball
to the fence and Swain amDled

casionally we find one that is not. There
is really no good reason why any OF
them should misrepresent their land or
the conditions here, for an honest state
ment Of the actual facts ought to be
sufficient to fill Florida with prosperous
and contented farmers. In fact we do
not know of State in the Union that
holds out better inducements to the in
dustrous man who will come here and
engage in diversified farming. How
ever, we want to reiterate what we have
said SO often, that no one should buy
land for home, either in Florida or
elsewhere, without a personal lnvestl-
CATION Peoples tastes differ, and what
would suit one perfectly, another might
not be willing to accept as a gift. In re-

Grating in this State we try to give such
unbiased information as we have con-
cerning them, by letter to those Of our
subscribers who inclose postage for a

still unanswered, which will have to go

FLORIDA AGRICULTURIST,
JACKSONVILLE, FLA.
QUESTIONS CONSIDERED.

The Agriculturist is in receipt al
most daily of letters from prospective
settlers asking all sorts of questions and
seeking advice on various lines. We are
always glad to give such information
as we can, for it is our sincere de-
sire that all who settle in this fair State
shall be successful and contented, but
occasionally we get patches Of questions
that almost give us a headache to answer
satisfactorily.
Below we consider few of the many
that have come to us recently and will
take up others from month to month.
what does it cost per acre to clear
land in Florida?"
That depends entirely on the character
of the growth. What is known as "cut-
over land which has never been heavily
timbered could probably be cleared for
SIS to SIS, while some of the heavy
hammock might cost as much as $500.
docs all land in Florida have to be
heavily fertilized before even kitchen
garden can be planted?"
There is very little land III Florida, or
anywhere else for that matter, on which
it would not pay to use some fertilizer
in order to get the best results from
"even kitchen garden" In Our ex-
perience the garden, with its wide range
of vegetables, is the most exact1ng
in it's demands of any tract OF equal
size on the farm.

SOME APRIL SUGGESTIONS.

The long dry spell which has prevailed
SO generally in the State having been
broken by copious rains, April should
be busy month for the farmer and
truck grower in Florida. The rank
growth which weeds are likely to make
now will require all the attention that
,an be devoted to them, and unless tax
en- in time will make great deal of
hand work necessary.
While most of the planting has been
done during the past two months many
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

at all times prevalent where the growth
of Spanish moss is heaviest?"
While some of the earliest settlements
in this country were made in Florida it
has not for some unaCcOuntable reason
been developed and improved as have
most of the other States, hence people
who live in some of the low undrained
lands are susceptible to the same ma
larial diseases that obtain under SINH
lar conditions everywhere else. How
ever, statistics show that Florida's death
rate is among the lowest, and it is
fact that people who take reasonable care
of themselves enjoy as good health here
as they probably would i'll any other
State. Speaking from personal exper-
ience the writer can say that after a
residence of twenty-six years in Florida
he has never had an ague chill Or SINH
lar malarial trouble, whereas such things
were of common occurrence in the
North.
"Can a man of small means locate in
Florida and make a success ?"
Any industrious man who has had
experience in tilling the soil, or is will
ing to learn, and who has capital enough
to clear and fence his land, build home
and carry himself through the first year,
ought to succeed and make money, pro-
vided he diversifes his crops and does
not risk all on one thing. We do not
believe that any State in the Union
promises better returns than Florida for
an equal expenditure Of industry and
intelligence
what, in your opinion, is the best
section of the State?"
Now, this is a poser. Florida is a
great big State, in fact few people act
ually realize its size There is not a
square mile of land in it that is not
adapted to some crop that can be raised
with profit, but some people succeed
better in one place than they do in
another We have known people who
made failures on the east coast or the
west coast to become prosperous c1t1
zens simply by moving across the State
where the conditions seemed better suit
ed to them We have known men to
leave the northern portion of the State
and become rich further south, while
we have in mind one man in particular
who did not succeed as we'll as he de-
sired in South Florida and by moving
found success and prosperity in Escam
bia county So you see it is very hard
indeed to advise man as to which is
the best part of the State In Our
opinion any place south of the northern
boundary of Florida can be made most
excellent place to live in, and the sooner
one secures location here the better,
for the tide of immigration has turned
his way and nothing will be able to
stop it until the true value of the land
S reached, when it will be beyond the
grasp of people of moderate means.

alone 1t will be the greatest work of

existing subway is about twenty five
miles long with about seventy miles of

The engineers have figured that
there will be excavated 9.15S.00O cubic
yards Of earth and rock. In the pres

4,1O4.OO0 cubic yards. The concrete to
be used is estimated at 1866 900 cubic
