Gainesville and the Florida Agriculture Elk
detrimental Station at the same place are al
ways ready to help the farmers. Bulletins,
letters and personal advice are constantly
available, so no one needs be denied the most
up-to-date and efficient service concerning
Florida farming Demonstration Agents,
County Agents, Boys and Girls Calf, Pig
and Corn Clubs and Canning Clubs all add to
the interest of farm life. The Florida Swine
Growers Association, State Dairy Associa-
ton, the State Live Stock Association, the
Florida Horticulture Society and the State

Transportation
The question of transportation has always
been vital one in most sections but here
such facilities are unsurpassed. The At
lantic Coast Line Railroad provides adequate
and prompt service to Jacksonville and all
points north. The Seaboard Air Line skirts
the property on the west affording equal facili-
ties for those living in that section. The
Georgia Southern & Florida crosses the prop
erty on the south affording connections north
and south. The Independent Line Steamers
maintain an excellent daily service from Green
Cove Springs to Jacksonville and return. At
Jacksonville they connect with the ocean going
steamers of the Clyde Line and Merchant &
Miners Transportation Company and vari-
Gus other lines to all points north. All
these afford steady, convenient and relia-
bic transportation for all the products of the
farm to the best possible markets. The ul-
innate value of the products of the farm de-
ponds upon the proximity to desirable mar
kets No one need fear about a profitable
market for any and all farm products as
Florida is more and more becoming the
source of supply for early and choice vege-
tables for the cities of the North and East.
