lettuce, celery, tomatoes, nor of fruits
and berries. These are Florida's prin-
cipal sources of wealth and so we can't
put F1orida's best foot foremost. But
let's make comparison of the larger
crops of which this state produces
comparatively little because the fruit
and vegetable crops are so much more
profitable.
On $4,000 acres of land Florida pro-
duced last year 1885, 600 bushels of
corn-not quite fifteen bushels per
acre. The United States produced o.
$50, 100, 600 bushels on los. 825, 900 acres
about twenty-four bushels per acre.
The Florida corn was worth on the
farm so cents per bushel or $12 per
acre, while that of the whole country
averaged 81 cents per busheI or $14.64
per acre. So the average of the United
States is only 1854 more on crop
that must be the only crop grown on
an acre than the Florida grower gets
on one of number of crops.

The Year Book of the department
of agriculture is the strongest kind of
a booster for Florida. If the farmers
of the other states would make a habit
of reading it, Florida would fill up with
people more rapidly than any state
ever has before. The Year Book for
1911 said: Florida produces the most
delicate fruit and vegetable crops in
the dead of the northern winter" 1t
should be remembered that this is a
clear gain. Other states do not pro-
duce any crops at all in the dead of
winter. The Florida winter vegetable
crops. bringing enormous prices be-
cause they have no competition, are
out of the way before the farmers of
other states plant and SO the Florida
grower after harvesting this highly
profitable crop can compete with the
growers OF other states for the balance
OF the year.
Florida land has been known to pro-
duce 81, 600 $500, $4,000, $4,000 and in
one well authenticated instance over
IS, 900 worth of products on one acre.
Farmers OF other states. happy at get
ing from $50 to 500 from an acre. may
donlot this statement. WE'LL here is
statement from the Year Book of the
department of agriculture for 1911, page
31e: "A combination of irrigation and
draining at Sanford. Fla, has trans
formed worthless lands into those pro-
ducing crops Of celery valued at $4,000
per acre for one crop"
Mark the words for one crop" for
they mean something. Besides the
celery three or four other crops can be
grown on the same ground in year.
for F-lorida's growing season is twelve
months long.
The Year Book of the department OF
agriculture does not furnish tables
showing the production by states of
small crops such as cabbage, onions,

9e2, 29S 600 bushels worth $4l4 SOS, 900
on 37,763, 900 acres. The average value
of the product per acre in Florida was
$10.12 and in the United States $10.9S
per acre.
Florida produced an average Of nine
ty bushel of potatoes worth $13O.50
per acre. The United States produces
an average of eighty-one bushels worth
$64.6o per acre. Florida beat the aver
age of the country little more than
two to one.
Florida average 1.3 tons of hay worth
averaged IL tons worth s16.15 per acre.
In hay Florida averaged nearly so per
cent more in value per acre than the
United States.
Florida produced on an acre an aver
s263.20, against an average for the
United States of s94 pounds worth
ss413. Florida's tobacco yields more
than three times much per acre as
that of the country taken as a whole.
Florida grows cotton little less
per acre than that of the other states
the figures are not given, but it is of
the Sea Island variety worth about
twice as much per pound as the up
lands cotton grown in other states.
Crop by crop Florida will average
higher than nearly any other state and
the crop compared is the only one In
other states and only one of d number
grown on the same land in this state.
When these facts become fully known
the rush TO Florida will be greater than
ever was the rush to Oklahoma.
