WHY CROPS ARE PROFITABLE

People sometimes ask why it is
claimed that a crop of lettuce, fol-
instance, should bring the grower in
such fabulous prices in COM
parison with q crop Of lettuce on rich
soil in one of the northern states
1t those people would just consider
for moment they would understand.
1t is for the same reason that straw
berries which will soon be ripening
in Florida will bring the grower fifty
cents a quart.
1t is because Florida crops come
into market at a time of year when
nc ether state in the Union can
produce those particular crops. If
Florida Strawberries did not ripen
before April or May, they would not
bring any greater prices than those
grown in Georgia. the Carolinas o.
Virginia. 1t is this fact that makes
Ifruit-growing and truck-raising in
Florida So profitable

LAKELAND'S LAKES

Within the corporate limits of
Lakeland, or bordering thereon are
nine beautiful fresh water lakes. Tha
water of these lakes is SO pure as
to be entirely safe for drinking pur-
poses, as several analyses have prov
On. The lakes are fairly we'll stocked
with brown speckled perch and trout.
and splendid catches of these fine fish
are frequently made. These lakes
vary in size from perhaps half mile
in circumference, as is the case with
Lake Morton and Lake Mirror, to
considerable sheets of water, as Lake
Parker, which is about seven miles
long by about three miles wide.
These lakes greatly enhance the
natural beauty Of the scenery; in
fact, it is difficult to imagine more
attractive features of the landscape
than are afforded by these beautiful
bodies of water, moreover, as they
Eeutralize the cold and afford the
best kind of protection to the groves
and vegetable fields surrounding
them.
