a MUCH NEEDED RAILROAD

A railroad from Fort Myers down
the gulf coast cia Estero, Naples.
Marco and Everglade, thence across
by the most direct route to Miami. Is
declared, on what purports to be au-
thentic information, to be one of the
ncxt great steps for the further de-
velopment and progress of this Won
derful region of the true South Flor
ida. While the hackers of the great
scheme are for the present remain
ing in the background, and even the
one who gives the detailed inforna-
tio7 is incognito. it is stated positive
~ that the line has already been sur
weed, the right-of- way secured, the
bcads sold, and everything in is read
mess to start construction at once.
even the amount Of the first years
business having been figured, it is
plainly apparent that there must be
something back of it all. 1t would be
difficult to find more wonderful vir-
g n region through which to lay the
track for a new and profitable rail
system, and the declaration is made
b. this representative that he has new
er heard of section of Florida more
wanton in its natural growth, or with
soil more fertile than through which
the new road will pass. Surely that
is an inviting prospect, even for a
railroad, and especially one that would
link the east coast and the west coast
while touching deep water, as would
this proposed railroad. The Press has
been watching this proposed railroad
development for sometime When rep
resentatives of the road were in Fort
Myers they requested that the matter
be given no publicity as it might in
jure their prospects. However, de-
yelopments to the extent of announc-
ing the proposed route have now been
made.-Fort Myers Press.
The Star also has information that
it cannot doubt, that this project that
means so much to lower South Flori-
da, is soon to be a reality. It viii
open up a new and heretofore unde-
veloped country, veritable gold mine
in resources. More railroad mileage
has been built in Florida, during the
past few years than in any other state

goes on despite wars and rumors Of

The Tampa Times came out Thurs
day with an immense edition, illus

we have never seen better arranged in
newspaper forms. We see Tampa only
by hurried visits far apart, and this
big and well printed paper gives US
almost as good an idea as an auto ride
around the town of how it has grown
from the sleepy village we first saw
twenty-six years ago. The Times boys
are among the best printers and
newspaper men in the state, and THEN
efforts bear the mark always set by
those who strive to do work well fol

Mr.. Meffert believes that the great
est problem that confronts the peo-
pie of our state, is that of teaching

Mr.. Meffert and all the Florida
growers are up against the problem
of selling the goods after they are
made.
Dir. Meffert believes that a live
awake marketing bureau, is the one
thing essential to the needs of our
people
The way for Marion county and the
state of Florida to prosper is for
the farmer to grow more than his
family can consume, and to have a
wide awake marketing bureau to as
sist him in disposing of the surplus,
and to help him distribute all crops
going out of the state.
Mr.. Meffert is chairman of the
Florida Marketing Bureau board Of
directors.
We earnestly solicit the cooperation
of all our people who have the well.

solve the problem of living at home,

MAKING READY TO MOVE


the Atlantic Coast Line is preparing
to remove its ancient and dilapidated
freight depot from the middle of Os-
ceola avenue, where it has been like
wart on the face of creation for the
last thirty years. The road will not
tear down the old depot and build a
new one. It viii simply put rollers
under the, ramshackle structure and
remove it from the street to its own
property.
The local railroad men and some of
our people are regretful of this, as
they want new and up-to-date ware
house. The railroad pleads hard
times, which has probably more to do
with its not putting up a new build
ing than any desire to spite the city,
as some folks think.
The Star is well pleased that the
road is not going to build a new de-
pot, and hopes it never will in that
part of town The depot and yard
are located in part of the city that
should be devoted to residences, and
those of our people who have an eye
to the good looks of OcaIa in the fu-
ture don't want anything in that part
of town that viii impair its attract
iveness in the future. 1t is useless
to believe that fine residences will
ever be built close to railroad yard,
and if the present arrangements con-
tinue it will always be scar on the
good looks of one of the best situated
parts of town.
The Seaboard yard and its freight
depot and one of the "A. G. L. yards
and nearly all the manufacturing en-
terprises and wholesale warehouses
are located on the north side of town.
The union depot will be there, and if
the Coast Line would remove its small
Ter yard and freight depot to the same
locality, it would be much to its ad-
vantage as well as to that of the city.
It can sell all its up town property at
a fair price, and obtain more ground
on the north side at a much lower
price AS long as it holds the two
pieces of property separated by South
Eighth street in the south of town il
will persist in trying to connect them
and its persistence will be constant
source of irritation and interference
with the city government.
It's the Stars opinion that if some
l nf the hioher officials of the Coast
Line would come to Ocala and look the
ground over, trying meantime to de-
tach themselves somewhat from THEN
railroad duties and looking at the
matter from the standpoint of people
interested in our town, they would see
the justice of the city's side of the dis
pute. 1t would certainly be more tt
the advantage of the Coast Line fo1
Oca1a to be friendly and harmoniou!

as it has been for number of years

PALATKA WILL GIVE
VETERANS A WELCOME

That is a peculiar piece of news we
see in some of the state papers to the
effect that Palatka, selected at the
Lakeland meeting as the next place
for holding the state Confederate re-
union, was rather cool on the propo-
sition and had invited the old soldiers
to meet there more in perfunctory
than a cordial and sincere spirit. As
a result of this the Ocala Star inti-
mates strongly that Ocala would be
mighty glad to have the veterans with
her if there is any doubt about the
warmth of their welcome at Palatka.
We hope that there is some mistake
about this matter, for it is incredible
that any city in Florida should give
grudging entertainment to such a
body of Lakeland Telegram.
We trust the Ocala Star, the Lake
land Telegram and s'other state pa
pers" will cease to worry over the
warmth of the welcome with which
T>-latka proposes to receive the Con-
{ derate Veterans of Florida at their
15 reunion in this city. If so be
lat it turns out to be "more in per-
lnctory than in a cordial and sincere
spirit" it will be something for the
vets to tell about themselves after the
reunion. It is hardly the proper spirit
for other cities and towns of the state
to anticipate a "grudging" reception
and entertainment. Palatka has new
er been guilty of such reception, and
certainly it is not going to begin with
the old Veterans of the Confederacy.
No, not in this year of our Lord, 1915.
1t is a fact that Palatka has no To-
cal organization of Confederate Vet
erans; that we have only few scat
tered veterans now where a few years
ago there were many. They have an
swered the last roll call. But "Dixie"
still stirs the hearts of our people
and there is still a warm corner in our
hearts and by our f1resides for the vet
erans of the COS who answered Al
bert Pixies "Southrons, hear your
country call you-up lest worse than
death befall you. To arms! To arms!
To arms in Dixiel"
But a word of explanation may be
best. Palatka was selected as the
place of the next state reunion with
out the knowledge of any local organ
ization All Palatkans knew of the
coming convention was what they saw
in the papers of the state 'that Pa
latka had been selected as the place
of the next annual reunion" OF
course, these old veterans knew the
Palatka spirit when they selected this
city. 1t is enough to say that they
will not be Observation-Disclosures
| News.
The Star can truly say that Ocala
has no desire to take the reunion from
Palatka il Palatka wants it. 1t was
because of the matters that the News
speaks of, viz: that there is no vet
eran camp in Palatka and that the
city was chosen without the knowl-
edge of any Palatka organization
that a number of the old soldiers
thought that perhaps the meeting
place had better be changed to Ocala
which is ready and willing, officially
as well as personally, to welcome the
reunion. Nobody over this way doubts
that Palatka will give beautiful and
hospitable reception to any and al
guests, and if the people of the Gem
City show disposition to back ur
the unofficial action of its represen-
tatives at the Lakeland reunion
Oca1a will wait until the next time

COOPERATION FOR FARMERS
OF MARION COUNTY
How One of Them Utilizes His Sur
plus at Home
Ocala. Fla., Jan. 1s, 191I

Ocala, Fla, Jan. 1S, 1915.
Mr.. L. S. Light, Reddick, Fla.
Dear Sir: I have your favor of
january 7th with regard to furnish
ing you information as to what pro-
duced on my farm during the year
1914. This / will gladly furnish you
and hope it viii be a benefit to the
Marketing Bureau.
The first crop was 20 acres of cab
bage. Only one car of $50 crates was
marketed, which brought less than
cost of crates and packing. The rest
was consumed by our stock, as there
was no paying market to be found.
My loss on this crop was about $1,000.
/ fully believe that if we had a good
system of distribution and marketing
at that time, that consumers could
have been found who would have TAX
en- the balance of my crop at fair
price, or thru the assistance of a mar
keting bureau, kraut factory could
have been established in this vicinity
that would have saved me the loss
that sustained
About $500 bushels of oats were
harvested, over 100 acres having been
planted. Approximately so tons of
cat straw.
About 1900 crates of snap beans
from 80 acres About 1000 crates
were left in the field, unable to find a
paying market.
$40 crates of tomatoes were mar
keted; more than this amount were
left in the field.
2236 crates of cantaloupes were
marketed; about 500 crates left in the
field.
Ten cars of watermelons were mar
keted; about II cars left in the field.
Fifty acres of peanuts were grown
About six tons of the nuts and vines
were saved for seed, the balance be-
ing consumed by the hogs in the field.
140 tons of crab grass, pea-vine and
beggarweed hay; 20 tons sorghum;
about so bushels peas; 25 tons Jap
anese cane; about 200 bushels sweet
potatoes; five barrels Irish potatoes;
103 barrels velvet beans for seed; 90
acres velvet beans fed to cattle and
hogs in the field; 90 head of hogs but
chered and sold; 78 in field ready fol
market; four mule colts; 128 head OF
steers being fattened.
All these staple crops can be pro-
duced for much less than they can be
bought in the north. Corn, hay, oats
etc., are consumed in my various bus
mess enterprises, otherwise would not
know where to find a market. You
can easily make an estimate, how
many thousand dollars keep at home
in growing staple crops and raising
stock If we had home market fol
what we could produce, it would not
be many years until we would not
have much vacant land in Marion
county.
Hoping that this information viii
be of use to you, am,
Very truly yours,
