COME { TO MARION COUNTY
Invitation to Farmers of Arid Reg
giOnS from a Man Who Has
Tested the Value of
Irrigation

Editor Star: The recent drouth
resulting SO disastriously TO the
farmers of Kansas and Nebraska, in
common with some of the other
states near them, where their
streams dried up and their crops
were almost completely lost to them
their dry season so long and. severe
that the governor refused to pro-
claim day of prayer although many
good people in the state petitioned
him to do so-and as Bishop Gambler
of Georgia has written the befuddl-
ed executive seemed to think the sit
uation was too hard for prayer to be
of any avail for its relief"
The distressing conditions prevail
ing throughout these western states
prompts me to write this letter to
the Star, with the hope that the in
vitation will reach these, good hard
working, farmers of Kansas and Ne
br2ska, to come to Marion county,
Florida, and investigate the favor
able all-the-year-round conditions
that exist here-where diversified
crops and rotation of crops can be
grown every month of the year, and
where each day of the year is not
only planting season, but harvest
ing one as we'll.
There is no better section of Amer
lea for investment. for homes, or for
people with small means to locate, in
farming, stock-raising and all kinds
OF fruit and trucking, than in Flori-
da We have the best climate, and
lands suited to all crops; health is
perfect and land cheap as compared
to other sections, and can be bought
on easy terms. The land is easy to
work, and can be put into cultivation
at little expense. Our climate is such
that We can grow crops and ship to
the northern markets and get good
prices during the winter months
when every northern and western
state is covered with snow or in a
frozen condition.
We can grow all the crops that
can be grown in the west or any
other section and a good many they
cannot grow, owing to climate. We
have abundant rainfall and do not
have to go to the expense of irrigat-
ing and do not have to build eXpen-
sive barns or houses. Our stock can
have open pasture the year round,
and as | have said before, some crop
is grown every month in the year to
feed man and beast.
The day is coming when the lands
of Florida will be worth more money
than any other section of our coun-
try; and now is the time to cast your
lot with us in Marion county-when
the man with little cash capital can
buy it, David H kirkland.

ULSTER MEN ARE RAISING AN ARMY
UNONIsTS PROPOSE EsTABI IsH PROVISIONAL COVER,
ONE-FCJRTH IRELAND
Islands Most Wealthy and Progressive Pro-
vinceA

Belfast, Sept. 17.-Sir Edward
Carson, leader of the Irish unionists,
landed in Ireland yesterday The OBJ
ject of his visit, it was said, was tc
inspect a volunteer army. which is
being raised in Ulster to support the
provisional government which is to
be brought into existence in case the
home rule bill becomes law.
The Ulster army is said to be
thoroughly organized and to have
attained a strength of about 100. 600
men. This number its leaders ex-
pect to double when recruiting has
been completed.
Sir Edward intends TO spend a
week in Ulster With several lieu
tenants, he will visit the various
corps which have been formed by
drilled men of the unionist clubs and
orange lodges.
The climax of Sir Edwards visit
will come on Saturday, when he has
arranged to inspect the Belfast
unionist corps.
In the course of a week a number
of private meetings of the Ulster un-
ionist council will take place to COM
plete arrangements for the provis-
ional government which it is the pur-
pose eventually to establish ! There
seems to be little hope of a general
conference between the various par
ties on the question of home rule.
