FLORIDA FEED HERsELF.v
The slogan is "Malze Florida Feed
Herself" and these experts propose
to tell the farmers how they can do.
how other states and communities
have done so, and how much easier &c
is to accomplish this in West Florida,
owing TO the climate and soil, than II
has been for other states to do SO.
They will show the farmer what Is
needed to make his land more pro-
drctive, how two or three crops each
year are not only more profitable, but
how they increase the fertility Of the
soil.
West Florida, they contend, cannot
never become a great agricultural
section until the farmers reach that
stage where they can supply all the
food that is required to feed the en-
tire population. They win show that
thousands upon thousands Of dollars
go out from each county each year,
for meat, canned goods, stock feed,
etc, and how easy it is for the farm
ers to stop this daily drain by raising
enough meat and growing the proper
kind of food stuffs.
Every phase Of general farming,
live stock raising and fruit growing
will be discussed by these specialists.
They win gladly answer any question
and do everything in their power to
demonstrate that scientific farming In
the only proper method to pursue IN
order to make the lands produce the
yield of which they are capable.
