THE REAL BASIS
OF PROSPERITY

Under the above title, the st. Au
gustine publishes the following truth
full and appreciated article: -
Ocala, in Marion county, is shin
ing example of the value to a city
of a we'll cultivated surrounding ag-
ricultural district. Members of the
Florida Press Association and print
ers who assembled in Ocala last week
had an opportunity, through the
kindness of some leading Ocala citi-
zens, to inspect many of the farms
in the vicinity Of Ocala. That which
was seen proved a revelation. Out
ly three hundred head of as fine hogs
as can be found anywhere in the
country. Many people have the idea
that the Florida razorback is the one
and only animal of its kind that can
be raised in this state, but the Mar
ion county farmers, and in fact
many here in ST. Johns county, can
show some fine specimens of high
grade porkers. Another feature of
the Marion Farms is a flock of two
hundred bronze turkeys. Then there
is a herd of fine Jersey COWS, and
other stock that make the farms a
place we'll worth visiting. AS a re-
suit of the prosperity of the farmers
Ocala enjoys steady trade twelve
months in the year. Last Saturday
afternoon, and it is so almost every
Saturday, the streets of Ocala were
SO crowded that they looked like a
county fair, or as the streets Of St.
Augustine look during the Ponce de
Leon celebration. There is an object
lesson in this for st. Augustine bus
mess men. II is trne, of course, that
Ocala is in the center of a rich ag-
ricultural district, while st. Angus
tine is on the seacoast, and therefore
the circle is split in half, but even
were half the farm business that
comes into Ocala enjoyed by St. Au-
gustine merchants, this city would
have a trade of which it would be
proud to boast.
