FLORIDA GRAPEFRUIT

"The future of the citrus industry
of Florida depends largely on her
grapefruit" suggests the Florida Fruit
Grower There is no difference of
opinion regarding the superiority of
Florida grapefruit as compared with
the California product. The larger
part of the groves are composed of
budded trees, but many Of the. old
seedlings remain. The slight differ
ence in quality is in favor of the bud
ded fruit, but the seedlings are pro-
life bearers. The smaller trees carry
crops that bend the branches to the
ground, and if citrus wood were not
just about the toughest that grows,
the trees would often be broken and
ruined by their own production.
No product in Florida excels in pop
ularity the luscious grapefruit which
has become, in comparatively few
years, the favorite breakfast appetite
err of the nation And it is because
Florida is recognized as the real home
of the grapefruit, because it is grown
IN its fullest perfection only in this
state, that it constitutes one of our
greatest assets and one of our best adj
vertisements
There is no danger of oyer-produc-
ton, because the demand cannot now
he one-tenth supplied, and the fruit
I is elamored for throughout the sea-
son and the discerning consumer new
er gets enough of it.
A dozen years ago the grapefruit
WAS scarcely known outside of Florida,
and it was grown here more as a
freak than as a source Of profit. The
demand for it followed Immediately
upon its introduction to the markets,
and now it has outclassed the orange
in popularity and in returns to the
grower. This popularity is bound to
continue increasing for. once tried, the
grapefruit is demanded daily, and the
growers of Florida will be expected to
supply the demand.
A good grapefruit tree Yields $50
per year and it would be difficult to
Imagine a more profitable tree.

Mr.. GUS a. MORTON
The williston Advocate q Febr,,

Inc Williston Advocate of February
2Srd prints picture Of Mr.. Gus a.
Morton and a view of his beautiful
home, and also view of his fine, up
to-date vegetable farm.
In speaking of the gentleman, so
well known and so well liked in this
county. the Advocate says:
Mr.. Morton has been a citizen of
this section for many years, and a
more genial, jollier, bigger-hearted
man can't be found in the state
For several years he was associat-
ed with Hon. j. N. C. Stockton in the
digging, mining and shipping of phos-
phate, but three years ago he retired
from the phosphate business and
bought large and fine tract of land
IN Williston, and began the growing
LOT cucumbers, cabbage and other veg
etables for market He and his broth
lcr are in co-partnership in this bust
ress, and they have an up-to-date.
model vegetable farm, and have gath
cred five different crops off the same
land in one year. We know that this
statement sounds a little unreasona-
bic, but it's so. While Mr. Morton is
not what you might term a very
wealthy man, he is well fixed The
kiCOncf thine about b;r, 10 IL. L ~.,.4
II he only had one dollar and needed
that dollar badly himself-and should
4 friend come along and ask him for
lit, right into his friends hand the
money would go.
None but the Lord knows how many
people in this world Gus Morton has
helped. He has given away one or
two fortunes in mis- life.
! He has political aspirations, and
during the last campaign he was in
the field for state senator, and was de-
fcated by only very few votes Mr..
Morton says that there was one thing
about that election that he was real
pfoud of, if he did get defeated, and
that was that he received every vote
in his home district And we will
chirp in here and say that if we were
a candidate for any office we had
rather have our neighbors' votes and
be defeated than to not have them
and be elected by people who knew
nothing about our home life
Mr. Morton is man who carries
sunshine with him all the time, and
no shadows. A man can't have the
blues" around Mr.. Morton
He is a good man, and his friends
are legion.

REcIPRocITY-THE REAL THING

The doctor comes with squills and
pills;
With vaccine virus squirts you:
Your system fills with unknown ills,
And hopes he does not hurt YOU
You listen to his pleasant dope
His sugar-sweet verbosity-
And wonder when your time will come
To hand him Reciprocity.
Your friends come round when you're
flush
And say "My dear good fellow,
You are the goods" and other mush-
You buy till they are mellow;
You pay their hack fare home and
then,
In frenzied fine ferocity,
You walk, and wonder if your friends
Believe in Reciprocity.
You listen to your neighbours jokes
In noble immolation;
You bear their vicious puns and pokes
With rare consideration;
But when you've got a gag to spring
lGad! this makes animosity)
He stuns you with: What, that old
thing?"
That's read Reciprocity.

euccEss or TWO ocALA GENTLE

II viii be pleasing information to
,heir many friends in this county to
,now that the Morton Brothers,
messrs. William D. Morton and Gus A.
Morton, have made a big success
aimee engaging in the trucking bust
ness in Levy county.
In the last issue of the Williston
Advocate, speaking of their opera
mons. Mr.. Gus A. Morton says:
I'VE started three years ago in the
cucumber business. A ten-acre irri-
eating plant. right from the beginning,
proved profitable, and the business
has grown to thirty-two acres under
the Skinner irrigating system. The
business, with this kind of system,
adds largely to the yield, to say moth
ing of the quality.
Last season, OFF of ten acres of
cabbage, we cut over 200 crates to the
acre. which sold for $1.45 f. o. b. cars.
On this same ten acres grew cucum-
hers. We shipped 200 crates per
acre, which netted us SIS cents per
crate [. O. b. These cucumbers were
pIanted late for experiment, and when
the cucumbers were laid by. every
other middle was planted in corn,
which produced about 80 bushels of
corn to the acre, and when the corn
was laid by it was planted in velvet
beans, which covered the face of the
earth, and fine crop of hay was cut
and saved after the velvet beans had
been cut.
"Any man can do this well in Flor
ida farming if he so desires. 1t is
said that there is more in the man
than in the land" but after living in
Florida for forty years, we have come
10 the conclusion that there is more in
the land around Williston than there
is in the man.
In that last sentence Gus lets his
Lroverbial modesty do him an injus-
tice. There is always, everywhere,
more in the man than in the land,
but it is well when the man and the
land meet. Then it is that fine crops
are produced on ordinary lands, but
when the lands are rich and the man
shows more than ordinary judgment,
and adopts systematic and scientific
methods. then the big yields are made
those record-breakers that we are
now hearing more and more about

WAS FOUNDED BY AN ocALlAN

It may not be generally known that
our neighboring city. Williston. was
settled by an ocalian, but such is a
fact. The last issue of the Advocate
says:
In 1853 this community was a vast
forest, unnamed and untrammeled by
the march of civilization, and unscar-
red by the axe of industry. In that
year Hon. Jesse M. Willis, who was
tax collector and assessor of Marion
county, moved from Ocala to the pres
lent site of this town. He spent the
remaining twenty-eight years of his
life here, maintaining a large planta-
ton, about two-thirds of which was
situated within the present corporate
limits. He arrived here with a force
of about thirty faithful slaves and i'm
|mediately began development which,
although it has been slow. has not
ceased from the fall of 1853 to the
spring of 1911. Mr.. Willis chose his
location well, for no finer timber ever
covered the lands of a southern state,
and no better lands were ever shelter
ed by southern pines, and, with an al
tftude of ninety feet above sea level,
pure water and no stagnant pools, the
general health has always been unsur-
passed
