GOOD ROADS IN
SOUTH FLORIDA

AS in most other directions. so
also in the matter Of the con-
struction of good roads, South
Florida leads the State. These
Southwestern counties have pro-
gressed further and faster in the
last few years in the direction
of the improvement of the pub
lie highways than has any other
section of the States domain.
The good roads fever struck
us sooner than elsewhere and its
successive symptoms have inturn
been manifested. During the ex-
perimental stage we initiated
Others in trying all manner of
materials, chiefly local-found
along the routes of the roads
and soon ascertained that we
has wasted our money, as others
had done. But we gained wis.
dom from experimentation is
something that all others have
not done. Soon we passed on to
another stage and decided that it
would be better to spend more
money and get something per-
manent for it. So we entered
the brick stage-and we are go
ing to stay in tat least here III
ftillsborough and in the counties
that follow Our example.
The counties that constitute
the group to which we have al
luded have raised and appropri-
ated more money and built a
greater mileage of brick and
other first class roads, than any
other section of twice the area
or population in Florida. And
it is a fact that makes us not a
little proud that Hillsborough
county leads the State both in
the amount of money. appropri-
ated for this purpose and in the
number of miles constructed and
contracted for and now being
built.
| We commend to the conven-
ton now in session at St. Peters
burg the consideration of these
facts, and respectfully point out
} to the body the availability and
proximity of an example by
! which they can illustrate their
arguments and exhortations to
others to do likewise.-Tampa

Sad to relate there are a few
counties in Florida that are so
unprogressive and selfish that
they will oppose any movement
for state aid to good roads" de-
clares the Ocala Banner. The
reason given by the Banner is
that the counties fear that the
richer and more progressive
counties will get the principal
benefits" But there are many
reasons urged why the state
should not take up the matter Of
roads. Some of the bigger and

PROFIT IN SWEET
POTATOES,

Jacksonville, March Sweet
potatoes are one of the most
profitable crops in Florida. 1t is
estimated that the acreage this
year will be fully IS per cent
larger than last season. Grow
ers are beginning to realize that
sweet potatoes OF uniform size

that shipment can be made i1'
carlots ARE money maker.
There is steady increase in the
demand for good stock. The
yield per acre is large, and the
returns per acre compare favor
ably with any other crop in Flor
ida, when fertilizer, labor, and
condition of soil are taken into
consideration. For northern
markets the Jersey Red, Tri-
umph and Jersey Yellow, are the
most popular varieties. All
southern markets prefer the
yellow yams.
Sweet potatoes are in demand
the year round. Prices range
from Coo to $I.25 per bushel.
They can be raised on almost
any kind of land, and by cooper
alton the growers of every coun-
ty could agree to plant a certain
number of acres which would in
sure carlot shipments to the
markets. There is not a time
during the entire year that
sweet potatoes are not in de-
mand to a certain extent. OF
course, prices huctuate consid-
cradle but the southern sweet
potato is a staple article and
growers are realizing the fact
more every day.-The Packer.

cause of its increased demand, to
the monopoly in camphor declar
