make your city and county known. To
illustrate, Dade county, by prelim-
mary announcement from the federal
census bureau issued the valuation of
farm lands and buildings to be SILL
428,115 greater than any other of the
20 Florida counties. So far reported
the citizens, farmers, stock raisers
and fruit raisers make reports to the
county commissioners and through the
office Of county demonstration OF the
various products of their county in
everything that is grown, grain, vege-
tables, potatoes, fruit, stock; in fact,
everything that is raised in the county
from a turniu to cow. Escambia
county issued a limited report three
weeks ago, which was published of a
few products, 1920, January 1. This
report gave Escambia county only a
few hundred acres under cultivation
and mentioned only a crop of corn,
sweet potatoes and peaches. No Irish
potatoes, no vegetables Of any kind,
no peanuts, no nuts or pears, or other
valuable fruits, or figs. berries and
satsuma oranges. The whole inaccu-
rate report of what was given
amounted to s11,7S0, 100000, including
stock of all kinds. Such Inaccurate
reports are Of much damage to our
county and city. 1 am only citizen
and have been here in the county for
SIS years. I have also been over other
parts Of our beloved state of Florida.
+ have raised cattle, hogs and raised
fruits of all kinds and all of the pro-
ducts of the soil. I have no land for
sale and my only object is to help 9TH
ers to come and make their homes in
the best county and state for all things
conductive to health, wealth and hap
piness. Come to Escambia county.
Loosen the shackles that now bind
YOU and become independent Of condi-
lions over which you have no control
Establish an income for your declining
years, perpetual endowment for
those who come after you. In other
words come here where you can &C
auire a self-sustaining home in our
J county Of Escambia. You can do SO by
coming to Pensacola, Escambia county
where a responsible firm stands ready
with an extended hand to help you get
a permanent ehome for general farm
! ing, dairying and stock farming, the
Florida. Lansing Farm company eX-
/ tends to the homeseekers and settlers
and will aid you and help you and
YOU can do it easily and at a small sac
rifice. This firm will help you along
the road to success If you care now
Procra stination is the thief of time
and the sooner you make up your
mind and come and see and be con-
WINGED the sooner you will know you
can surround yourself and family with
the comforts of life in a county that
possesses all the blessing that is given
by the Heavenly Father to any people
a climate, pure air. (right from the
gulf, purest drinking water ia the
world, lofty surroundings free from
swamps and low lands and free from
marsh and malaria infected districts
where you live longer and better and
where your energies, will power and
good sense will give you greater re-
turn than any place in the southland
or Florida. It would take a large
book to give the readers of The Jour
nal a faint conception of the manifold
good things Pensacola and Escambia
county possess, not only from the soil
but products from the deep in fish
GALL kinds) oysters, crabs and shrimp
and not only from the salt waters, but
from it's rivers and inland streams and
bays. I feel myself incompetent tc
impress upon the minds, even in a
small degree all of these good things
possessed and laying ready to the
newcomer to the oldest city and most
historical city in the United States
Pensacola and the best county in the
state, Escambia.
