er In securing just the sort of tract
desired and to sell him lumber for
improvement purposes at reasonable
figure, extending every courtesy
commensurate with good business
principles.
Big Pay Roll.
The Bagdad Land & Lumber Com
pany paid employees during the year
1914 the sum of S429,210. The pay
roll for 1915 was $472,525. This year
the pay roll will exceed half a mil
lion dollars by several thousand. This
money is paid to employees in cash
twice each month, thus obviating
many of the financial troubles usually
encountered by both skilled and COM
mon labor.
Two Big Stores.
The Bagdad Land & Lumber Com
pany operates two very large general
merchandise establishments--one al
Bagdad and one at Munson. The es-
tablishment at Munson is considered
to be perhaps the largest department
store in West Florida. At this store
the company has arranged to purchase
practically all agricultural products
grown in this part Of the state. Tn,
company agrees to furnish cans, la
bells, etc, and purchase all syrup pro
duced by farmers in this section
Many thousands Of gallons have beer
bought and sold by them during tn,

agement Of the Bagdad Land & Luni-
Der Company. BY this splendid road
connecting, as it does, with the L. &
N. at Milton, shippers in the northern
part of Santa Rosa county are brought
into direct connection with the lead
ing markets of the country for the
sale of anything raised on the farm
or ranch.
Great Cattle Country.
No lands in the entire south are
better adapted to stock raising than
the lands Of West Florida. Among
these thousands Of fertile acres may
be found the rich grass-producing
lands of the Bagdad Land & Lumber
Company. These lands are well water
er, but are not wet and uncultivatable.
The rainfall Of this section Is suffi-
Gent to produce any kind Of q feed
crop. Cattle can be kept in excellent
condition by being fed only about
three months each year.
Herd Fat on Native Grass.
The large herd Of Hereford cattle
which we viewed near Munson have
been kept in excellent condition by
simply running on the company's
woods pastures, consisting Of about
fifteen hundred acres enclosed under
woven wire fence. The herds are
gentle and easily managed. Mr.. John
son, the ranch superintendent, goes
among them at will and handles them
with as much satisfaction as he could
If they were sheep instead of cat
tie
Health Conditions Good.
The health conditions in West Flor
ida are as good as the best. This
entire golden gulf country is famed
| by brisk sea breezes all summer. It
is kept from extreme cold in winter
by the warm southern sunshine. The
thermometer seldom goes below 10
degrees in winter and is rarely ever
more than 90 in summer, with brisk
winds blowing for about 20 out OF
every "a hours.
Good Schools.
| The scheool and social privileges
of West Florida / have found to be
as good, If not better, than in some
of the other southern states. Every
few miles we come to a neat school
house and every now and then a splen-
did church. In the small towns the
people appear to be too busy for idle
gossip and the social life appears te
be of high order.
