‘Homey' Atmosph

“You'll forget you've walked into
the lobby of a hotel when George Ma»
son extends the warm hand clasp of
welcome,” sald a Florida tourist re
cently. “A real homey feeling comes
over you as you glance around the
quiet, refined interior. Restfulness
pervades the atmosphere. You fesl
that you are in Florida and it's a
truly glad kind of feding.
“Traveling men have known George
Mason and the Mason Hotel in Jack
gonville for years. Mason says his
hotel ‘wms made possible by the trav
eling men’ He means that they al
ways game back to him and their
patronage was the nucleus for one of
the finest hotels in Florida.
“With Florida now the mecca of
tourists from ecach and every corner
of the States, and Jacksonville the
first stopping place, the pleasure
seeker is learning what the traveling
men knew for years—~that George
Mason is a host one loves to meet.
“The homelike atmosphere of the
lobby ‘does not cease there. It pre
vails in every room. The decorations,
hgngings, furnishings and every tiny
detall is carrfed out n most exquisite
taste. The same restful feeling greets
yvou Imrredlntely you open your door.
You will suppose that the Mason Ho
tel in Jacksonville is a mighty good
place at which to stop—and it is!”

PROBABLY o railroad extension in
thd South during recent years
has been of more importance to the
country at large from an agricultural
standpoint than the newly constructed
Okeechobee Division of the Florida
Bast Coast Railway. This new line
begins at Maytown, in Volusia County,
* on the Enterprise branch of the Flor
ida East Coast Railway, and runs
| down through a vast undeveloped seec
tion covering a large portion of Semi
nole, Orange, Osceola and St. Lucie
(lounties, dividing at Kenansville, with
one terminal point at present at the
| new town of Okeechobee near the head
of Florida’s famous inland lake, and
the other at Bassenger in the southern
part of Osceola Cou?xty.
The prime importance of this line
| of railroad is due to the fact that it
opens for settlement and colonization
millions of acres of the best live stock
farming, fruit growing and trucking
lands that are to be found anywhere
in Florida. Imagine, if you can, a
vast section gos fertile country, over
one hundred miles long and from
twenty to fifty miles wide, nearly every
acre of which will, under proper culti
vation, give immense yields of general
farm, fruit and vegetable crops—
though now almost totally undeveloped

surrounded by fertile land, suitable for stock
raising, citrus culture and general farming.
—and you will have some idea of the
sections 1 country commonly known
as the Chaluota, the Kissimmee Valley
and the Okeechobee regions.
The terms ‘‘Okeechobee Country”’
as used here refer particularly to parts
of Oseeola, St. Lucie and DeSoto Coun
ties. From every standpoint it is the
ideal farming section of Florida. It is
for the most part a vast expanse of fer
tile prairie, covered with a heavy
growth of native grass and dotted here
and there with timber and clumps of
cabbage palms. The South Florida
climate prevails over this favored. sée
tion, and altogether it may be said to
be unsurpassed for live stock farming,
at the same time possessing every ad
vantage in the way of seil and climate
for raising either citrus fruits or vege
tables.
“In the Northern corn belt a quarter
section of $l5O land will pasture and
fatten so many head of cattle, while in
the Okeechobee Country a farm of the
same size will pasture and fatten for
market easily two or three times as
many head, due to the fact that two
or three feed erops may be raised dur
ing one year on the same ground ; no
cold winters to go through, requiring
extra feed to keep up bodily heat of
the animals: that four or more cut

Florida's big inland lake.
green pastures are available through
out the entire year. If it costs from 6
to & cents a pound to produce beef in
the North under the many adverse eir
cnmstances that confront the stockman
there, it is safe to assert that the same
quality can be produced in-the Okee
chobee Country for less than half that
amount.
Corn, sugar and Japanese eane, kaffir
corn, millet, velvet beans, soy beans,
cowpeas, beggarweed, rape, peanuts
and dozens of other forage crops will
give heavy yields in the Okeechobee
Country, and by alternating, from two
to three crops per year can be had on
the same ground. For pasture, Ber
muda grass, Rhodes grass and Natal
grass are among the leaders. These
three grasses, with several others, will
yield from four to six euttings per year
of the most nutritious hay. This yield
can be easily increased by proper
handling. Record yields of over nine
tons to the acre have been secured on
gimilar land in other sections of Flor
ida. These facts must surely convinee
the stockman that greater profits can
be realized from the raising of cattle,
hogs, sheep and poultry in this part of
Florida than are possible in any other
State in the Union. To briefly sum it
up, the opening of the Okeechobee
Country presents an unparalleled op
portunity for
chobee Division of the Flagler System, the Chu
lnota, Okeechobee and other companies own town
sites and adjoining lands which are now on the
market.
These companies do not maintain an expen
sive corps of land agents and are therefore able
to sell town lots and farming tracts at very rea
gonable prices and easy terms.
