DESOTO'S DEVELOPMENT
Some interesting Facts and Fig
ures Recently Compiled.

From an editorial in Sundays
Tampa Tribune, we take the fol-
lowing, which will interest many
HERALD readers and further Illus.
trale the greatness and Importance
of DeSoto county, since that en-
terprising daily gives the assur-
anee that the information is gath
cred from wholly reliable sources
and every statement made can be
verified and substantiated in the
most conclusive manner:
The Tribune's work, now in De-
Soto county, is bringing out facts
in relation to that county's devel-
opment and increase in wealth and
population that are more than
startling, and will seem to one
who is not endowed with the pow
or of making a minute analysis of
cause and result, to be fabulous
fabrcations.
For instance, the assessed values
in the county in 1900 were 80, 1885,
64S; eight years later the figures
had climbed b "a, 1858, 1893, max
ing net gain for the period Of
1901, $50, which is an increase of
1871 per cent.
Statistics just compiled by the
State Agricultural Department
show that DeSoto county produces
more citrus fruits than any coun-
ty in the entire state, the volume
amounting in 1905 to 1876 boxes
of grapefruit and 593, 700 boxes Of
oranges. The next greatest pro-
ducing county in the state is Hills
borough, with 4O,578 boxes Of
grapefruit and 4S4, 1896 boxes of
oranges. On per capita basis
for agricultural products, the ratio
being compared with the popula-
ton, production and number of
acres in cultivation, DeSoto coun-
ty stood fourth in importance, the
rep0rC showing that there were
only 1855 acres in cultivation.
There are 2,403, 200 acres in De-
Soto county, 65 per cent. Of which
are covered with yellow pine timber
that will cut on an average Of 2, 800
feet Of lumber to the acre. Worry
little timber has been removed
from the land, only those sections
lying adjacent to transportation
having been worked, and that
which has been taken off would
not equal one per cent. of the total
amount. The same condition of
affairs obtains in relation to the
turpentine interests, little devel-
opment being shown in this line
when a comparison of the vast
area to be worked is taken into
consideration.
DeSoto county is an empire
within itself, being about So miles
square and larger than Rhode Is.
land, Delaware and the District Of
Columbia combined, with over
100 square miles left. The popu-
lation is very small if prorated in
a ratio covering the whole area of
the county. The greater portion
of the population lives along The
railways, coasts and waterways.
One may travel in the county east
from Arcadia for a distance OF 40
miles seeing single habitation,
thus showing the great possibili-
ties of the county when it is popu-
lated as densely as the counties in
some of the older and better de-
veloped states.
Rhode Island has 472 residents
to the square mile. If the same
number were given to DeSotoI
