STATE MARKETING
BUREAU NOTES

The business of the world begins
moving on the country roads. The
farms provide much of the raw ma
terial and the food for the use Of
mankind. The road is vital to every
interest, the getting to market, the
cost of living, the value of land, the
attendance at school and church,
and the general comfort and pleasure
of the people. There is only one
side to the importance of good roads.
The live stock business cannot be
gone into and discontinued at each
wave Of high or low prices. The man
who goes into the industry must
make it a permanent and continuous
affair, and maintain good breeds and
equipment
The price of eggs is higher than
lever before known. Those who know
how and what to feed hens get the
most eggs all winter and spring will
reap profits. Florida has the mildest
winter climate in the Union and
should be the premier State in the
production of eggs. Hens compelled
to hunt their own living and roost In
any old place will not bring results.
The poultry industry has great fu.
ture in Florida by right effort.
! Good farming machinery is the key
ito increased efficiency in agriculture
IL reduces the cost of growing crops
provides shorter working hours fol
the farmer, returns larger profits FOL
him, lightens his burdens, inceases
his crop yields, and make life worth
| living. But what is important I
should be taken good care of-pro
tected from rain and sun. (
} To keep scrub chickens that will
hot lay, or to feed chickens in sucl
manner that they neither lay nor pu
on flesh, is about as sensible as to la.
pipes into your house and never con
meet them up with a water system.
