MONEY SPENT ON
FLORIDA HIGHWAYS
State Has 10000 Miles Hard.
Surfaced Roads
BOND ISSUES $l3,OOO,O0o
1t Is Said That Counties of FIorids
Will Spend at Least $14,O00,OOC
on Roads During the Years 1917
and 1918.

According to information sent on
from the state road department at Tai
lahassee. the total amount of bono
issues for road improvement in Flor
Ida up to the present time is approx
mately $13,000,000. with at least
$40, 100000 in bonds to be sold dur
ing the next two years. In addition
to the money from road improvement
bonds, the various counties In thu
state, as whole, will raise from d.
rect taxation for road purposes ap.
proximately $4,000, 900 per annum, OF
$4,OOO,OOO for the two years, which
means that the counties of Florida
Independently of what the state NAV
do, will spend at least $14,0OO,OO
on roads during the years 1917 and
1918.
The $4,000 in federal aid allotted
to Florida for the five-y year period
ending June 80, 1921, will be an ad-
ditional amount to be spent on the
roads of the state, and according to
the law on the subject, the state OF
counties must match the federal fund
dollar for dollar; therefore, Florida
will lead practically every state in the
Union in appropriations for improv.
ing and constructing permanent high
ways throughout the state.

The Following endorsement of dairy
ing as part Of farm operations has
been taken from an address, delivered
at the agricultural demonstration
agents school, held recently in Gaines
vile, by Brevard county demonstra-
ton agent, Alfred r. Nelson, of Mel
bourne:
Development Of the agricultural re-
sources Of Florida to the highest eff
cheney will have to be done on farms
Of from 40 to 800 acres, with mich
cows of either the purely dairy type
or of the dual purpose type for the
major live stock department of the
farms.
THE yield of crops per acre will
be greater than on the purely one
crop farm, and this on land that is
often not so promising. Farms with
their herds of milk cows invariably
show the greater labor incomes, the
bank deposits are higher and the peo-
pie more intelligent and contented.
Tick-Free Cattle Helped.
Los Angeles county, California,
stands at the head of the list in the
United States for highest labor in
come and wealth produced per acre,
with Lancaster, Pennsylvania, second.
The former uses citrus fruits and veg
etables as the money or speculative
crop, and the other uses tobacco and
vegetables, but both are highly inten-
sive and diversified farming counties,
and the milk COW with her two satel-
lites, pigs and chickens, play very
important part in making this won
derful record. Doth counties are
tick-free. Editor.o
why? Because she insures that
ever-welcome monthly cash income
which places the farm on a cash
basis, and the farmer consequently
buys for a lower price than his broth
er farmer does on credit
THE milk COW distributes employ
ment of labor over the entire year,
thereby making it possible for the
farmer to do all of the work himself
or to train and keep good hands the
year around and make the most out
of his labor investment.

plans for the proposed bridge over
Tampa bay, to be constructed for the
use Of the Tampa and st. Petersburg
Electric railway, submitted to him in

construction of the bridge would be
a big undertaking, involving the pos

The bridge will likely be located at
