CLIMATE.
| have given you the three prin-
cipal essentials IF successful farm
ing in Florida, all of which this land
possesses. With these prerequisites
viii. refer to the kernel Of the whole
situation, which is CLIMATE.
CLIMATE is the reason why this
immediate section stands ahead to-
day in the growing of Irish Potatoes
for profit;
CLIMATE enables the grower to
plant in January, and gather in April
at a time Of year when the whole
Union is wanting fresh lr1sn Potatoes
CLIMATE puts this area in a class
by itself, and eliminates competition:
CLIMATE fixes the market for
early Irish Potatoes, and sends the
buyer to this locality with the cash
to pay the highest prices.
CLIMATE makes it practical on
this land to grow three profitable
crops on the same land in the same
year, as follows: Irish Potatoes are
planted in January, gathered and
marketed in April, with an average
yield of fifty barrels per acre, which
sell at an average minimum price of
$500 per barrel. This same ground
is then planted in corn, which yields
from forty to fifty bushels per acre.
After this is gathered, the farmer
reaps Hay in abundance from the
same ground
These crops can be grown as
cheaply Oh this land as they can any
where in Georgia. These are croDs
which the Georgia Farmer should
manipulate as successfully as those
more experienced in Florida farming,
this is not the case in many in
stances IN the growing of other farm
products, especially fruit, and many
other varieties of vegetables.
Hence, l nave decided to sell these

FARMING LAND
IN FLORIDA

1t is only within recent years that the
State OF Florida has attracted the attention
OF the outside world to any great extent,
as farming section. This is largely due to
the fact that during the strictly pioneer
days, there were such vast aries of wild
land that the inhibtants could find espe-
clally favored haunts to locate, and climatic
and soil conditions were such that they
could so easily obtain living without re-
sorting to what they considered the arduous
task of farming.
But now conditions are changed, and
wonderful strides are being made in the
process of various kinds of farming in most
every section of the State; it has passed
far beyond the initiative experimental stage.
Those who know most thoroughly the
real facts about Florida contend that it
stands without a peer among the other
States Its wonderful climate and natural
resources are attracting the attention of
thousands of people in all parts of the
Union. They are continually seeking infor-
nation of friends boards of trade, and
Real Estate dealers about Florida.
Manypeople think that little can be grown
in Florida other than Oranges and early
vegetables, 1t has been demonstrated in
various sections, and at the State Expert
ment Station, that any plant which is use
full either ornamental or of food value to
man, that will grow anywhere in the Unit
ed States will grow we'll and be financial
success in Florida.
However, there are three absolute essen
tails to farming in Florida upon which all
who have had experience are agreed, these
essentials are GOOD SOIL DRAINAGE and
IRRIGATION, with which the farmer is
assured of uniform success; without which
there is an element of uncertainty.
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1915-07-09

The land has been pretty thorough
ly timbered, and most Of it can be
cleared ready for the plow at from
$500 to $1,000 per acre.
The owners paid a reasonable price
for 1t. They propose to sub-divide
1t into forty acre tracts, aud sell it
to the investor at a small margin of
profit on each unit 60 Al the num-
Der of units making up for them a
reasonable profit on the whole
can sell it to you surprisingly
cheap, and can make terms in most
instances to suit-say one-fourth
cash and balance in equal annual
payments of one, two and three
years, deferred payments bearing in
terest at eight per cent, OF, we will
give five per cent discount for all
cash. Abstract of title and warraa-
ty deed will be furnished each GUS
toner.
This entire tract of land is prac-
tlcally un-deVeloped AS soon as de-
Yelopment starts, and as they pro-
gress, there is absolutely no question
but that it will double and treble
IN price in a very short time In
proved land in the vicinity of Has
tlngs sells now at from $4,000 to
$4,000 per acre.
Shipping facilities at Bridgeport,
our town cite, are among the best to
be found in Florida, for the reason
that the big ships passing on the St,
Johns river, will carry freight to the
northern and eastern markets almost
as cheap as it can be shipped by rail
from Jacksonville, Fla, to Atlanta,
Ca. Besides it is only 2 1-2 miles
from our land to Bostwick on the
A. c. L. R. r. Thus having double
shipping facilities, we are assured of
cheapest freight rates.

There Are Four Distinct
Elements in the Process of
Real Estate investments

First: The original owner of the land
that is to be developed who sells to the de-
veloper at a comparatively small acreage
price.
Second: The developer who purchases
the land in large bodies at small price,
sub-divides it and sells to the investor at
small margin of profit on each unit, the
number of units making up a reasonable
profit on the whole
Third: The investor who purchases from
the developer at a reasonable price per acre
and profits by improvements that he makes
on the property, or that go on around his
property.
Fourth: The final buyer who pays a
large profit per unit to the investor, that
the final buyer may make profit by using
the land.
II one waits upon property being fully
developed, he becomes final owner instead
of an investor, and must necessarily pay
comparatively high prices and then use the

Your Opportunity

Here is farm proposition and a
real estate investment that should
appeal to the Georgia Farmer.
| have secured an interest in, and
the handling of tract Of land on the
St,Johns River near Hastings, Flor
ida, and just across the river from
Federal Point, twelve miles north Of
Palatka, right in the heart of what is
known as the famous Hastings Irish
Potato Region.
This tract consists of two thous-
and acres of as fertile land as can
be found in the State of Florida. It
possesses all the principal essentials
to profitable farming; SPLENDID
SOIL, NATURAL DRAINAGE, and
easy IRRIGATION.
SOIL.
The soil here consists mainly of a
dark sandy loan. This together with
the climatic conditions, and it's prox-
unity to the st. Johns River, which
has width at this point of from two
to three miles, renders it very adap-
table to general farming, and espec-
tally to the growing of Irish Pota-
toes, Corn, Oats, and Hay also to
all kinds of vegetables, and large
variety of fruit
DRAINAGE.
The lay of the land here affords
ample natural drainage, which is ac-
complished by the use Of shallow
bitches that are made with an ordi-
nary turning plow These drains
are primarily made for the purpose
of irrigation, but they serve a double
purpose of letting the water off dur
ing wet season, and letting it on
during dry season.
IRRIGATION.
The process of irrigation can be
more easily accomplished here. and
at less cost than at any other place
in the State that l have seen. All
there is to it is a deep we'll from al
hundred and fifty to two hundred
feet, at cost Of $1OO per foot, in
Guiding casing and fixtures, for
four inch we'll This affords ample
irrigation for the farm, and is used
about ones premises the same as any
ordinary city water works, all of its
own pressure, and is as pure, spark
