FARMERS' CONGRESS IN FLORIDA

Everything is in readiness in Jacksonville for the coming Farmers' National Congress and the National Farm Women's Congress, which meets in that city December 3-6, inclusive.

Progressive farmers in every State will find a great deal of interest to them by attending the sessions, which will be addressed by some of the most successful planters in the world, and also will hear discussions from many of America's most distinguished men who are interested in food production.

For the next few years the farmers will take the lead in profitable investments.

Every farmer should be prepared not only to increase his acreage but to understand the most profitable and most necessary crops to raise and also the best means of marketing the same. All of these questions will be handled in a most instructive way at this Congress and Jacksonville is arranging for a magnificent welcome to all who attend the entertainments of various kinds, including a free trip to St. Augustine, the oldest town in America, and other points of interest.

The coming occasion will also give opportunity to the visitors to attend the Florida State Fair, which will be open at the same time and which is likewise located in Jacksonville.
