'B. lVre-nn of the Plant sys- tem in speaking of Florida said to a reporter: “I was in conversation a short time ago with some capitalists who propose to form a development company. Their plan is to purchase a tract of land and divide it into ten-acre tracts. These tracts are to be fenced in, the land cleared, and a suitable house built on each one. They will then furnish the farmer with the necessary implements. seed, etc,, to give him a start the first year. ‘A: gentleman who is familiar with theresouroes of the State, and whose word is not to be doubted, was asked how much money the farmer would need to be given to carry him through the first year. “ ‘Two hundred d-ollars,’ without hesitation. “ ‘But will that be enough? asked one of the gentlemen. “‘Yes, that will be twice enough,’ was the reply, ‘but I put it at that lig- ure to allow for all possible contingen- «:les. The newcomer can get his toma- to plants, and in two months’ time he has the product in market and is re? ceiving returns, so that he would rea1< ly need very little assistance, as a mat- ter of fact.’ . “I asxed how many crops of toma- he said. . tors could be raised in one year,” con- tinued Colonel Wrenn, “and the reply was four. That was a surprise even to me, but as the man who made the statement is thoroughly reliable, I could not doubt him. “These are some of the things that can be done in Florida. The outlook for the future prosperity of the State was never so bright as it is now. The orange trees are coming into bearing - again, tobacco gives promise of being a source of great wealth, there is big money in pineapples and vegetables, and, taken all in all, I think that the outlook is very encouraging.” The Old Tin Basin.
