GOOD ROADS MEET IN
AUGUSTINE MARCH 2s

st. Augustine, March 17.-With a
view of speeding the development of
the state through the construction of
a system of hard-surfaced roads, the
board of trade of st. Augustine is
sending out letters to the various
commercial organizations, automobile
clubs and boards of county commits
sioners, inviting them to send dele
gates to a good roads conference to be
held in st. Augustine, March 20 and
80.
At the coming conference road con-
struction will be discussed in all its
phases and it is believed that less ex-
pensive, but equally as durable mate
rial as has been generally used for
road building can be substituted, and
thereby lower the cost of road con-
struction.
Ways and means for greatly in
creasing the annual road budget will
be one of the main subjects to be dis
cussed. Facts and figures will be pre-
sented to the meeting that will admit
of intelligent action on the various
problems affecting road building ir
the state.
A number of letters have already
been sent out and the response ha:
been general, all organizations dis.
playing the keenest interest and send
ing assurances that they will be rep
resented at the conference March 2!
and 80.

GOOD SOIL FOR GRAPES
California Man Finds Another Merit
of Marion County

SdAiW hAo WAN L TiHuS AHotheT A1eFlI
of Marion County
While Marion county has long been
looked upon as the leading agricultur-
al county of Florida, it was left to
a man from far off California to "dis-
cover that our soil, and especially
that near Silver Springs, is admirab-
ly adapted to the growing of grapes.
Mr.. C. Hartmann, who landed in
Marion county last August, was a
caller at the Star Office yesterday,
and says that California has no bet
ter land within the confines of the
state for grape culture than we have
right here at Silver Springs. He has
purchased twenty-one acres of this
land and now has several acres in
grape vines, many of which are show
ing bloom at this time, though only
planted last fall. Mr.. Hartmann is
very enthusiastic over his "find," and
has arranged for the planting next
fall of over five acres of grape vines.
Besides grapes he is also confident
that no better soil abounds for the
growing of plum, peach and other
fruit treesand he is planting these on
his place. He expects soon to add
to his land holdings at the springs
and will keep planting until he has
several hundred acres devoted to hor-
ticulture of the varieties above men,
toned.
Mr.. Hartmann has spent practically
all his life in California, and came to
Florida more on a vacation trip thar
with the idea of investment, but when
he came here and saw the great pos
sibilities of our country he could moi
resist the temptation to invest in
Florida sand. He welcomes visitors
to his place at Springway Inn, just
west of Silver Springs, and is always
ready to show his guests the great
possibilities of Marion county as &
fruit growing section.
