COAST LINE CANAL
Great Inland Waterway VIII be in Full
Operation by Next Winter

Miami, June S.-George j. Miles. vice
president and general manager of the
East Coast Canal and Transportation
Company, a recent visitor in Miami,
gives very satisfactory reports OF the
progress of the canal work. He states
that by early winter the company will
be operating boats from Jacksonville
to Miami by the inside route.
This means that barges for the
transportation of heavy freight, light
freight packets and local passenger
boats will be run on schedule time.
1t will mean a large reduction in the
cost of travelling between jacksonville
and Miami. will largely affect the
freight rates and will offer a delightful
trip to visitors who care for a water
journey Of 800 miles.
The development of the country ly
ing near the line of the canal cannot
be too extravagantly prophesied. The
good old days Of Indian river prosper
ity will be repeated all along the coast.
Nobody will hesitate to cultivate their
lands to the limit of it's fertility. with
the hope Of being free from prohibitive
rates. Nobody will hesitate to build a
beautiful home on his farm when easy
transportation facilities will furnish
social and business advantages.

THE IRRIGATION QUESTION
Something Of Its Importance to tn
Truck Growers of This Section

Truck Growers Of This Section
The clipping from the Tampa Times
given below was published in that pa
per several days ago and in fact was
founded on the vegetable report pub
lished in this paper week before last
We had intended touching on the sub
ject Of irrigation for some time, but
the Times beat US to our own persim-
mons and we cheerfully reprint what
ii has to say.
1.-The tomato exports Of Plant City
and vicinity for the last week ending
Saturday have been cut down IS per
cent by the drouth, or reduced from
9 900 TO 1000. This i another of
those concrete arguments for irrigation
that nature has been handing out with
much lavishness for the past three or
four years Enough money has been
lost by this single community on this
single item 10 erect thirty-fve or forty
sufficient and satisfactory plants for
irrigation of two TO five acres each.
The result of the crop in that
neighborhood for this season is a loss
of probably not less than $4,000 to
those people whose crops We're wholly
or partially failures. This money is
as fully and completely and wastefully
gone as If II had been burned in a fire
and the ashes scattered Instead of
that net loss of $4,000 there should
have been a net profit of $4,000 or
more. Much of this loss falls upon
others than the planters and truckers,
as all losses eventually do. Then there
is the potential loss of business in the
| community of Plant City itself. which
furnishes crates, carriers, fertilizers
and pickers.
This matter is gone into in detail
merely to show how the entire COM
munity is interested in the installation
| OF irrigation on every acre of land de-
voted to trucking. II half the area is
irrigated and makes profit il is swal-
lowed up in the losses to the other half.
One-half community cannot suffer a
loss like this-or perhaps any other
that is not more or less thoroughly dis
tributed throughout all the channels OF
common intercourse and interest. We
must irrigate or quit trucking, after
We have frittered away our visible
| means in trying to farm without timely
and seasOnable moisture"
Plant City has several irrigated

farms, however. and the amount of
stun grown upon them is further ample
proof Of the necessity of irrigation
Joe Thomas and his father, H
Thomas. have IA acres under the Skin
ner system and the amount of truck
they produce by this method is mar
velous. One acre irrigated produces
$50 crates Of tomatoes where two acres
not irrigated in the same field produced
100 crates owing TO the dry weather.
The Thomases are now waiting on
the machinery to irrigatea ten acres
more.
Among other irrigated places In the
Plant City section are Faison & Para
INQUIRE, acres; W. o. Denny, acres:
NJ S. Barker, = acres. and 3. b. Beatty's
tract.
w. S. Harlan, who represents the In
ternational Harvester people, expects
to install other plants in the fall.
The rich farming lands here produce
wonderfully without irrigation, but
with it farming is a certainty and pro-
duce can be put on the market when
prices are high.-Plant City Courier.
