truck patches of little value Why is
it that some people here can raise such
enormous crops of fruit and vesctaoies
while many others fail? Why some pco-
pie here are coming money In THIS ous'-
ness while others fail.
Two months observation and study will
make you see that all who work succeed,
while those who have that tired feeiing
fail; and no matter whether the crackers
like 1t or not, the latter class are largely
in the majority. IF any man VIII not
work neither shall he eat"
The majority do not work as they
should. but they are experts with the rod
and line. They take life and use life as
1t reverential calm.
So far as may observation goes and what
history I can learn, no man has come
here with capital enough to support him
two or three years and endowed with a
spirit of hustle, but who has prospered
beyond his expectations.
All on earth that this part of the state
needs to make 1t a garden spot and bios
som as the roses, is capital and industry.
The man that works here wants to re-
main. while the man that won't work
talks of leaving. His action or rather
his failure to get action entities him to
the name of "Give-a damn Jones'"
Many residents of the immediate vicin-
ity are in some kind of business in town,
while owning small farms in the country.

vegetables and all making money and a
good living.
cannot see why this soil needs SO
much fertilization as some claim, for 1t
Is absolutely known that this part of
the state was covered by the sea for
thousands of years, and the silt sitting
through this water and the myriads of
decaying and disintegrating seas shells
make UP the surface of the soil which
ought to produce laxuriantly any kind
of plant growth, and If you will exercise
your eyesight you can see that it does.
/ examined carefully this morning, the
yard and garden of Mrs. Gould of this
city, and greater variety and more
healthy growth of plants, fruit trees and
flowers cannot be found in this part of
the state, and all grown with just small
amount of fertilizer and virtually with
out cultivation. This vicinity produces
wonderfully every tree, vine, plant and
flower grown in the state.
There is a good market for all crops
and transportation by rail and water.
Wages very reasonable and labor enough
to supply the demand. but owners pres
ence to superintend is very desirable
In conclusion l will ask what more dc
you want? You have the earth and its
fullness thereof right here. Old Ponce
de Leon named this The Land of Flow

this is land of flowers, fruits, health
