discomforts there is during the sum.
mer months is caused by long con-
tinued, uniform heat of the days. The
summer nights are nearly always
cool. Marion county is located where
the peninsula is narrowest; it is billy,
and has numerous lakes, and the
waters of Silver Springs, Oklawaha
and Withlacoochee rivers to moder-
ate the temperatures. There are tor
rental rains during the summer but
storms and high winds are rare. For
these same climatic reasons, and be-
cause of the very nature of the coun-
try itself, with an abundant supply
of pure water, the healthfulness of
Marion county is remarkable.
Good Roads
There are over 225 miles of hard
surfaced highways in the county, of
limestone and sand-clay. The Dixie
Highway traverses the county Every
point in central Florida is easily reach
ed by motor out of Ocala.
Last year the county voted to bond
for $560,OOO for roads, to which will
be added s2SO,OO0 state and federal
aid.
Largest Springs in the United States
/ There are many things to attract
the visitor to Marion county. Silver
Springs, near Ocala, and reached by
an attractive drive of five and one
half miles. are the largest springs in
the United States, and probably in
the world. The records of the United
States Geological Survey show this.
The survey has no record of foreign
springs. The deep, cool waters, clear
as air, flowing in immense volume
from wonderful nature pools and cav
ems, reflecting the surrounding sub
tropical forest, are unsurpassed in
beauty.
Best Agricultural County in Florida
Marion county is very generally
acknowledged to be the best all-round
agricultural county in Florida. It's
supremacy has been proven time and
again at the fairs and by the records
Of the State Department of Agricul-
ture. Over 100000 boxes of oranges
and grapefruit are shipped out of the
county each season, and the produc-
ton is increasing. Because of the
rich soils in the county the fruit has
a finer quality, and it is not neces-1
sary to use as much commercial fer
tilizer as in other sections of the
state. The trees, too, are harder.
Marion county was pioneer in the
introduction of better graded and
pure blooded live stock into Florida.
A sale of registered Poland China
hogs in this county recently points
to the great future in the breeding
and raising of hogs in this state. Att
public auction twenty-six Poland
China hogs sold for $9S4O. The coun-
ty boasts of herds of registered cat
tie. There is good home market,
and good markets in Jacksonville,
Tampa and other cities within a
radius of 100 miles.
Marion county bids you welcome!

l. The best method to comtat the

nearly as possible, and not to grow any
for a year or 1.-TWO, until the heavy in-
festation has passed. This year we cut

we ar. going TO cut down to FIVE. ID
this WY we accomplish two very de-
sirabe things-we will not raise so
many W JeviI and we can come near ex-

2. 1t Is our experience that poison
pays best put on early. even before
the cotton begins to square. Ii you
kill few of the first that have gone

plished a great deal, After the cotton
has squares an l blooms for the weevil
to hide In and to feed upon. 1t is far
more difficult to get them out to drink
any poisoned dew.

Washington, ID. C.-In testifying be-
fore the Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce In the general inves-
tigatIon into the railroad situation,
witnesses for the railroads contended
that:
ID The costs Of operation are alb
normal, owing chiefly to wage scales
established by the government which
exceed wages paid for similar work in
other industries, and to wasteful labor
costs, often for work not done, en-
forced upon the railroads by the 50
called National Agreements"
(2) That .97h cents out Of every
dollar Of operating expenses in 1920
were at prices fixed directly by the
government. or by general market con-
ditions and over which the railroad
managements had no control.
t3) That the general business de-
presxion was not due to- the high
freight rates, but to the laek Of buy-
Ing both here and abroad.
One of the most striking facts
brought out IN the testimony present-
eddy the arst ewitness. julius Krutt-

rsctprssef thee Southern Pacific. was
the following, In explanation Of the
