INDUSTRY
MAY BE IMPORTANT

Experiments conducted for several
years by the department of agriculture
have progressed to a point where II
seems likely there is new industry to
open for Florida, and one that will make
eign camphor supply, In paper that
has just been issued by Prof. Rodney
True and s. G. Hood, results in Florida
are discussed and the conclusion is now
reached that camphor production in this
State is practical and can be made pro-
ftable. Japan now furnishes the bulk
of the camphor in the worlds trade.
The most of it comes from Formosa,
but small quantity is brought from
the mainland of China.
The practical point is that the cam
phor monopoly produces about 8, OO0. W.
pounds of camphor annually. OF this
there ar. imported into the United
States nearly 1900. 900 pounds. Owing
to the operations of the camphor; mo-
nopoly, the price is subject to violent
fluctuations. In the past three years It
has varied between SOC to 81. II pound.
1t has been found that camphor trees
can be grown in Florida and the Gulf
states and that the tree is hardy TO ID
degrees Fahrenheit. 49,.
In the experiments that have been
made 80 far in the south the trees have
not been cut down, but have been
planted in hedge rows and trimmed, the
trimmings being used to produce gum
camphor and oil. There were cuttings
used last year from 1000 trees.
1t is said that it is an industry that
can be successfully handled by a small
farmer. when community Of them
will engage IN it. Two hundred acres
is the minimum size of a grove tthat
would warrant erecting distlllery, ana
500 acres would be better.
The experiments have not gone 1aI
enough to show just what yield coulo
be expected per acre, but from. the
trees that have so far been utilized "
would be from ITS to 200 pounqs OF
One advantage of the prospective
camphor farm Is that the trees Will
grow we'll on soil that is too pool, ana
sandy to be fit for much else and the
mere matter Of getting Land 1or
grove would be small expense.

JUST BEGINS
HER DEVELOPMENT

The development of Florida as resort
or tourist place is as yet in its infancy.
Not from its great phosphate beds, not
from its timber wealth, not from its
agricultural producing possibilities, but
from its climatic advantages will the
State reap its largest profits, because
these climatic advantages will be a
compelling force to draw to the State
an ever-increasing number of tourists
seeking to find winter play ground, OF
those who come for rest and quiet re-
creation, of others who come for health
and of many who make Florida their
permanent winter home, having reached
that stage of life where wealth enables
them to enjoy the opportunity Of spend
ing their winters permanently away
from the cold and ice and snow of other
sections.
The climatic advantages would alone
make Florida in the years to come a
popular state of wel-tO-do people; but
added to this condition will be the al
most innumerable opportunities here for
profitable employment in fruit growing
in trucking, in diversified agriculture,
in employment in city pursuits which
will soon come with the ever-expandlng
wealth and population of the State.
Florida is State of wonderful inter
est. In its semi.tropical foliage, so I'M
like anything else to be found in the
United States; in its lakes and its even
more wonderful rivers, with its great
stretch of sea coast. the Atlantic on one
.ide and the gulf on the other, Florida
has rare advantages and attractions.
