The expense is less in Florida than elsewhere to operate automobiles, with less wear, for there are no steep hills to climb. Motoring is destined to become a constant pleasure in Florida in all seasons. The motor, too, is daily widening its use in business. Dirt streets in cities and towns every- where in the State are giving place to brick or hard-surface highways, the main ones in many instances to connect with other towns. In every line of municipal betterment our Florida communities are setting a pace com- parable with development in the older and richer towns and cities of the Eastern and Middle States.
Outdoor life is a delight on quite every one of the 365 days of common years and the 366 days of leap years.
No State has such an extent and variety of navigable waterways, pos- sible of being connected up by canals, and give the State extensive and cheap transportation facilities, on which men with their families can cruise in comfort and safety and at less cost than to maintain homes in the long and expensive winter-land of the North. Available, too, are towns and cities, with splendid churches and schools, and telegraph and telephone facilities, and newspapers of high class, giving worldly happenings, and cultured edi- torial comments on current events, and yet all about are the "forests prime- val," with rare growths and flowers, blooming in every month, and inter- woven with groves of fruit and green fields and garden lands, producing delicacies to supply tables of northern consumers when their home country is held in thrall by snow and ice.

AND BUSINESS DIRECTORY (1918)
In no State is there a more attractive blending of the vegetation of the temperate and sub-tropical zones. The visitor is rarely out of sight of water in lakes and rivers in traveling over the State by rail or automo-' bile. No sky is more radiant with stars, and no nights anywhere are made more charming with the songs of feathered hosts, including the clear and delightful notes of the mocking-bird-heard at all hours.
Florida has an all-the-year-around climate. The winters have little or no sleet, ice, frost, snow, and no protracted cold. Damaging freezes come at intervals of a generation, as time is measured in the life of man.
The summer warmth never prostrates man or animal, the temperature never reaches 100 or more above zero, as is common in the North; sultry nights are unknown, and constant winds from each side of the State bring comfortable uniformity in all seasons. No State has a more efficient health service ; yellow fever has been banished, and the causes of malaria and typhoid fever are known, and these will disappear when men observe known and necessary precautions. Fuel and clothing bills are less in Florida than in the colder North.
There is no worthless land in Florida. In the central East Coast region, in pure white sand over which a handkerchief can be passed without dis- coloring it, are found flourishing pineapple plantations, yielding the finest fruit of its kind in America, of which hundreds of cars are gathered and shipped every year.
Florida has ten national bird reservations-more than in any other State-and the Federal Government recognizes the value of the climate and soils by maintaining four special experiment stations-more than in any other State-to test for American use many of the more than 40,000 plants already introduced from foreign countries and not indigenous to our con- tinent.
Florida has many varieties of soil, millions of acres of it as rich as cream. Poor soil can be made fertile, and the fertility of rich soil can be maintained by proper methods. Florida has in its legumes the means of keeping up fertility. A ton of green forage plowed under is claimed to equal half a ton of commercial fertilizer for enriching the soil. Plants are largely composed of water, and there is plenty of that element. They need warmth, and that is existent without severe extremes. Science is telling us how to add the few mineral elements needed to perfect the structure of the plant. When intensive and scientific methods are applied to farming in Florida it will be able to support 25,000,000 people in comfort, and not have a greater density than in the north of Europe countries.
Florida can produce as fine beef, mutton and pork at as little cost per pound as in any State of the Union. Eliminate the cattle tick, as can be done, and control hog cholera, and the State will take as high place in the production of meat as it does in oranges. The pastures can be made as prolific and nutritious as anywhere. Chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks- birds of splendid plumage-thrive and multiply under proper care. The once plentiful existence of wild feathered life is evidence that tame varieties can be made a profitable source of income. Wild turkeys of large size- as also deer and bear -- are still to be found in the forests of Florida.
Florida produces the finest oranges and grapefruit in America and a grove of trees filled with golden fruit at Christmas is a vision for those who come from colder and less favored sections of the country. . In the south half of the State bananas are grown, and cocoanuts, lemons, limes. sugar apples, mangroves, persimmons, guavas, and the delicious avacado

(alligator) pear, all of commercial importance, besides many other rare tropical products. The fig and pomegranate, two of the earth's best known fruits, and mentioned more often in the Bible than any other, are right at home all over Florida.
The waters of Florida, both fresh and salt, afford unlimited facilities for fishing, with choice of still water in the lakes, of running waters in the rivers, and more exciting sport at sea, and the fish caught are worth while, as they furnish a livelihood for thousands of fishermen and food for thou- sands more. Here, too, are the only American sponge fisheries. Nowhere is the tarpon, the king of game fishes, more abundant, and the event of a sportsman's life is to catch one. And with fishing can be had boating and sailing, with the finest surf bathing in all seasons. In the winter when northern waters are covered with thick ice, bathers can swim in comfort in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf waters of Florida. And along the coasts are the largest and best sea beaches in the world-wide, solid and smooth as a floor, on which automobile speeding has become a favorite pastime. The artesian water basin, too, somewhat scattered, is one of the most important in the Union and water in some instances is forced fifty feet above the surface.
Florida leads the Union in the productions of phosphates, fuller's earth and naval stores, and ships carry lumber from its mills to foreign lands, and cars distribute it throughout the North. Its cigars are smoked in every community.
Florida has the greatest variety of trees of commercial value-more than two hundred kinds-one-half more than in any other State. There are trees here not known to botanists anywhere else on earth. The abun- dance and variety of temperate and sub-tropical vegetation in the form of trees, shrubs, vines, plants, flowers, grasses and mosses, is a surprise to all comers. In no State is there a finer showing of flowering trees and shrubs, every month furnishing its kind and color, from tiny beauties struggling for a place in the sun to the marvelous magnolia flower spreading fragrance on the winds. The orchid-the rare and expensive beauty of the northern greenhouse-grows wild in the forests of Florida. Even the rivers insist on helping to mantle their surfaces with green and bloom, as witness the hyacinth and lettuce plant in the St. Johns and other rivers.
With twelve months of growing weather, ample rainfall, and temper- ature never frigid nor tropical, Florida is like the sack given by Joseph to Benjamin, the last handed to his brethren, as it contained the best. Western lands are all taken, and Florida the last and best of all States, now offers its advantages to the industrious millions of the earth anxious to make homes under favoring skies.
The fruits of Florida represent varieties from all parts of the earth. They may be divided into three classes :
1. Temperate and warm-temperate: Apples, peaches, pears. apricots, quinces, nectarines, figs, plums, Japanese persimmons, strawberries, dew- berries, blackberries, mulberries, etc.
2. Semi-tropical : Oranges, grapefruit or pomelo, lemons, tangerines, limes, pomegranates, loquats, guavas, roselle or tree cranberry, etc.
3. Tropical : Bananas, pineapples, cocoanuts, avocados or alligator pears, sugar apple, sapodilla, tamarind, cocoa plum, Barbadoes cherry, rose apple, sea grape, star apple, surinam cherry, pepau (papaya), etc.
The growing of nuts, especially pecans, and the Japanese varieties of walnuts and chestnuts, give promise of becoming important industries. The

largest pecan grove, 72,000 trees, is located near Tallahassee. Hardy varieties of tropical fruits are found in the south or semi-tropical parts of the State, and warm-temperate sections of the north grow varieties of the semi-tropical. No one industry presents more marked development or offers greater inducements than that of fruit raising in Florida. There is a wide range-from strawberries to garden truck, to melons and cantaloupes, to oranges and peaches. Not only in raising fruits, but in material to make barrels, boxes, crates and baskets to ship products in, Florida excels. Fruit growing in Florida for northern markets was scarcely known a generation ago, but now there is an unbroken season beginning in January with straw- berries and ending in December with oranges, and the time is coming when oranges will be shipped in every month.
The choice fruits of the present are products of the human intellect as truly as watches or maps. It was to the thought and care of fruit cul- turists of the past and modern times that renders it possible for the poorest people of today to have fruits that kings could not buy a century ago. And each succeeding year improvements are being made, and the mild climate of Florida offers opportunities in this direction not equaled elsewhere in the Union.
The fruit and truck interests of Florida are in their infancy. The people of this State, much less those of the North, do not realize the won- derful possibilities of Florida, in this and other respects, where everything common to the Union will grow and flourish.
Among reasons why Florida is adapted to successful live stock growing of all kinds, almost without limit, is its vast and unfailing water supply, which is as essential to successful stock growing as are its green pastures. Another equally important condition is the short period necessary for feed- ing and sheltering of stock as compared with other States. Another of equal, if not of greater importance, is the adaptability and capacity of soils to the production of nearly all kinds of grains, grass and forage crops at as small, if not less, cost than other sections. In all of this the equable climate of the State has much to do, of course, but it is because of these advantages and conditions that Florida should and can compete with any and excel most of the States as a live stock producing country. There are no long cold spells to test the vitality of animals. And Florida still has a vast area of cheap lands.
The number of live stock of all kinds in the State is, in round num- bers, estimated at 2,000,000, having a value of about $25,000,000. Instead of this small number, there should be-not less than 20,000,000 head, and 10,000,000 should be cattle; the State can maintain such a number.
