PROBABLY no railroad extension in
the South during recent years
has been of more importance to the
country aMlarge from an agricultural
standpoint than the newly construeted
Okeechobee Division of the Florida
East Coast Railway. This new line
begins at Maytown, in Volusia County,
on the Enterprise branch of the Flor
ida East Coast Railway, and rvuns
down through a vast undeveloped sec
tion covering a large portion of Semi
nole, Orange, Osceola and St. Lucie
Counties, dividing at Kenansville, with
one terminal point at present at the
new town of Okeechobee near the head
of Florida’s famouns inland lake, and
the other at Bassenger in the southern
part of Osceola County.
The prime importance of this line
of railroad is due to the faet that it
opens for settlement and colonization
millions of acres of the best live stock
farming, fruit growing and trucking
lands thas are to be found anywhere
in Florida. Imagine, if you can, a
vast section of fertile country, over
one hundred miles long and from
twenty to fifty miles wide, nearly every
acre of which will, under proper eulti
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 of country commonly known
as the Chuluota, the Kissimmee Valley
and the Okeechobee regions.
The terms ‘‘Okeechobee Country”’
as used here refer particularly to parts
of Osceola, 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
¢limate prevails over this favored sec
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 soil 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 crops 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
tings may be had from any one of sev
eral different kinds of hay, and that

green pastures are available through
out the entire year. If it costs from 6
to 8 cents a pound to produce beef in
the North under the many adverse cir
enmstances that confront the stockman
tMere, 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 cane, kafflr
corn, millet, velvet beans, soy beans,
cowpeas, beggarweed, rape, peanuts
and dozens of other forage erops 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
vield from four to six cuttings 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
similar land in other sections of Flor
ida. These facts must surely convince
the stockman that greater profits ean
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

sites and adjoining lands which are now on the

These companies do not maintain an expen

to sell town lots and farming tracts at very rea
sonable prices and easy terms.
