COST OF IRRIGATION
AND CLEARING LANDS

As general thing no irrigation is
necessary in Florida except when land
is tiled and sub-irrigated. For celery,
lettuce, Strawberries the growing is
usually carried on by irrigation as this
makes crops sure, not only providing
water in times of drouth, but draining
the land in time of heavy rainfall and
assuring the crops of periodical water
ings.
Flowing wells can be obtained by
boring in many parts of the state, and
in these sections have grown up the
famous vegetable-producing towns.
These wells are generally from 75 to
200 feet deep and cost on the average
81. 90 per foot for driving. A six inch
we'll will water fifty acres, and in local
tiles where intensive farming is carried
on and where the average holdings are
from s to 10 acres. all side by side,
community water systems are pos
sible.
1t costs to clear pine lands about $40
an acre, "cut over" pine lands $50.
hammock lands $l25; palm hammock
$75. rocky pine land $l25, per acre.
This is the actual cost of clearing, but
the timber is of value and sometimes
pays the totalcost. Much of this clear
ed land must be drained and this costs
upwards of $40 an acre. When the land
is cleared and drained crop of grass
should be grown on it and burned be.
fore vegetables are planted. A man
with family will do we'll to get onto
the land before he attempts to bring
his family if he is to do pioneering.
Besides clearing the land there are
houses and cister to be made ready,
and much to be done before the women
folks will be ready to call it home. Of
course if the wife is ready to rough it
some, and the children are old enough
to help and there is money enough in
the sock to buy "grits," WHY it would
be all right to come, as tents could be
provided. While no actual suffering
would result from living in tents, it
must be remembered that the winner

UNCLE SANS
new WAR SHIP
Arkansas Is the MOrst Powerful
Man-Of-War In the World
LAUNCHED JANUARY ID
She Has a Displacement of $4,000 Tons
and Will Cost $4,000, 900 When
She Is Placed In Commission

Uncle Sans Navy was increased
Saturday by the addition of the most
powerful fighting vessel in the world,
when Miss Mary l.. Macon, daughter
of Congressman Macon, of Arkansas,
broke bottle of champagne over the
new battleship named for that State,
and sent it gliding gracefully down the
ways on to the broad surface of the
Delaware at the yards of the New York
Shipbuilding Company in Camden, NJ.
The new battleship is the most pow
erful in the world, having displace-
ment of 26, 200 tons, the next in size
being four battleships of the British
navy-the ConquerOr, Monarch, Orion
and Thunderer-whiche each have a dis
placement of 20, 500 tons.
1t will be fitted up as a flagship and
will be ready for commission in year
When com pleted the vessel will carry
an armament of twelve 12-nch guns as
a main battery and will have more
power and destructive force than any
vessel in the navy.
In length over all exceeding she will
also exceed any other. being $50 feet;
her breadth at the load water line be-
ing so feet. While her normal displac-
ment is $4,000 tons, her full load dis
placement will reach, it is estimated,
7.243 tons. She will have bunker
capacity of $4,000 tons independent of
the 400 tons in the oil tanks.
The crew of the new vessel will in.
clude 1880 men, and Sc officers, ex-
ceeding by 200 the number of men car
ried by the largest battleships of our
fleets today.
She will be an expensive ship, as are
all the up-tO-date batteships of the
navies of the world. To construct her
hull and engines cost $4,000, 900. Her
armament, two thousand tons of steel
plates, worth $3.50 per ton, will cost
$500, 900. Her twelve 12.inch guns,
worth $50, 600 each, will cost $3.50, 900.
Her secondary battery, made up of
rapid fire guns and the 5-inch guns, rs
in number, will add $500, 600 to cost of
her armament. Her fire control sys-
tenn, electric searchights, and tele-
phones, will add $500 600 more to the
bill. After these items are met there
is cost running into several million
of dollars to fit up the warship, so that
the officers and men can comfortably
live aboard her. She will cost at least
SIC, 100000 when she goes into commits
