tracts adapted to the purpose As matter

active operations on these lands for several
years.

gave deep thought to this prospect of the fu-
ture. With thorough knowledge of Florida
lands, he decided to locate in Clay County.
After acquiring large acreage, he organized
a lumber company and erected plant at Green
Cove Springs With railroads leading into the
timbered sections of his property. Turpen-
tine plants were also established at convenient
points and the work of getting out the lumber
and naval stores was started. The success of
the lumber company is too we'll known for
comment here.
The lumber and naval stores from the major
portion of this acreage now being practically
exhausted for commercial purposes, Bob"
Bowling is now enabled to carry out his plans
of ten years ago for the development of these
lands for agriculture. These lands were par
ticulary selected in their original purchase
with this very object in view, that of ultimately
making of them one of the greatest farming
districts in the entire State. AS young man,
Bob" Downing made his first dollar in farm
ing, doing his own work and scoring a decided
success and since that time he has been con-
tinuously engaged in farming and live stock
raising, although a part of this time as a side
line. Some years ago, he organized the St.
Johns River Cattle Company, which acquired
about $4,000 acres of the lumber companys
lands and engaged in the cattle business.
About five years ago, the Southern Cattle
Feeding Company, an Ohio corporation, pur-
chased from the lumber company about 10000
acres of land. This Company spent a large
sum of money in fencing its lands, clearing,
stumpng and putting into cultivation a large
acreage; erecting necessary buildings and
making other improvements, also acquiring ex-
tensve holdings of cattle and other live stock.
Consolidation of Interests
On January first, 1921, there was perfected
the organization Of the Florida Farms and
Industries Company and the consolidation into
one gigantic enterprise of all the lands, live
stock, Improvements and other holdings of
the ST. Johns River Cattle Company and the
Southern Cattle Feeding Company as well as
the major portion of the holdings of the lum-
Der company, including the large lumber mill,
many miles of standard gauge railroad, with
equipment in operation, the land and timber
holdings as well as several hundred valuable
building lots in Green Cove Springs. The
new Company retains all of the directing heads
of the concerns which have been merged, thus
conserving for the benefit OF its future opera
tions, and the guidance of those settlers who
come among US, much valuable farming, live
stock raising. developing and operating ex-
perience obtained over period of years.
This merger places under the ownership and
management of the Florida Farms and Indus
tries Company more than 100000 acres of the
most valuable lands in Clay County. Realz-
ing the possibilities, this Company is proceed
ing with the development along new and orig
inal ideas; and, with ample capital and
strong organization of practical Florida farm
ers, headed by Bob" Downing, they will be
able to bring these plans to a successful con-
clusion.

farmers at wholesale prices. The Company also
owns large and up-to-date department store
located in the business center of the town of
Green Cove Springs, and at their several COM
munity farm centers they conduct other gen
eral stores, making it convenient to purchas-
ers to obtain supplies at competitive prices
and further enabling the farmer to advantage
ously market his products through these gen
eral stores.
A special department is maintained for the
purpose of securing to the best possible ad
vantage anything that may be needed, that
cannot be supplied out of the stock of the
general stores.
Canning Factory and Other Industries
1t is customary to grow fall crop of Sweet
Potatoes, as a second crop, following Irish
Potatoes and other crops, which is usually
best marketed through channels for local con-

the farmers who locate among US opportunity
for the greatest possible returns from all crops
produced and to this end, the Company will
foster the erection and operation of Syrup
Mills, Canning Factories, Fruit and Vegetable
Evaporating Plants, Rice Mills and other es-
sential industries.
One of the big elements contributing to the
failure of many farmers is the lack of proper
facilities to market what he produces. The
Florida Farms & Industries Company propose
to eliminate this drawback by providing the
best possible means for handling what is raised
in such a way as to give the producer the
greatest possible profit for the fruits of his
labor The railroad owned by the Company is
being rebuilt and equipped for the handling
of the crops grown by the farmers who settle
on the land, as we'll as passenger traffic.
To the farmer, even the aged, who is
tired of Northern SHOWS and ice and
wants to spend his remaining years in an
equable, comfortable climate this proposition
holds a strong appeal. He could dispose of
his present farm holdings, buy an equal or
greater amount of land in this tract, and have
money left to put out at interest. If you
have a small farm and growing family of
boys, bring them all down to Florida. For
an equal investment you can have land
enough for each one of the boys, and under
our plan of development and operation, make
them better farmers and stock raisers. In
short, if you expect to make a living out of
the soil, here is the place to do it, besides
living in one of the best climates in the world
where nature has provided everything favor
able to happy and prosperous existence.
No Pioneering to Be Done
In considering this as place of residence
do not get the idea that it is a raw and un-
developed country. There is no pioneering
to be done, this has all been taken care of
for you. Many of the tracts already have
comfortable homes built and ready for occu-
pancy. Churches and schools are located at
convenient points.
The high school at Green Cove Springs is
one of the best of its kind, while the Florida
Military and Naval Academy just north of
Green Cove affords accommodations for $50
to 200 boys. This is one of the best military

acreage of grazing lands, there are many
tracts adapted to the purpose. As a matter
of fact, large cattle concerns have been in
active operations on these lands for several
years.
Small Unit Farmers
A portion of this property has been divided
into small farms, many of which are planted
in crops, with necessary buildings and other
Improvements, and ready for immediate oc-
cupancy A large organization is now at work
developing additional farms community cen
tiers are being formed, and good roads under
construction through the various communi-
ties, affording excellent means of communica-
ton, and adequate transportation facilities.
The interest of the Company in the pur-
chaser does not cease when the land is sold t;
but, on the contrary, it is fully realized that
the success of the Company depends, to a great
extent upon the success of the buyer. A
large number of farms are being operated by
the Company, and the small unit farms are
being developed around the community centers,
where the Company is doing its most success
full farming; hence the small farmer, locating
in the community, will have a demonstration
of the practical farming being carried on by
the Company itself
Another new idea of intensive cultivation,
never before used, so far as we know, is the
early" Sweet Potato crop. Sweet Potatoes
bedded in December, the slips are transplanted
to the fields in March, thus enabling the pro-
ducers to get their crops to market early in
July, when the markets are bare, and prices
highest. The Company has a large acreage
of these early" Sweet Potatoes already plant
ed and well under growth, which should be
marketed long before the average crop is
ready. This is only one of the many ideas
new with this Company, and is a demonstra-
ton of its ability and desire to assist the small
farmer.
Success of Purchaser Safeguarded
The best interest of the Florida Farms and
Industries Company is served by assisting
their purchasers to become successful. This
Company is operated by practical and expert
enced farmers, who are familiar with Florida

pany has provided adequate facilities for this
purpose. Good roads will be maintained
throughout the development, enabling the
farmers to transport their crops to shipping
points. A large barrel factory, conveniently
located, is being operated by the Company,
enabling the farmer to secure his packing ma
terial for potatoes and other crops at the
proper time thereby making the owners of
these community farms free from the delays
incident to the dependence upon outside sourc-
es of supply, and at minimum cost because of
the fact that the Company owns all of its raw
material and supplies.
Syrup Mill
Believing that Sugar Cane is one of the
crops that will eventually place Florida among
the weathiest agricultural States, in order to
take care of its own crops of Cane and in an
tcipaton of the large acreage to be raised by
settlers, the Company is now the owner of a
