coming to Florida, where land is at the
same time the cheapest of any in the
United States and the most productive
OF value.
I'VE have no figures to show the
immigration to Florida during the past
twelve months, but it mquostionably
IS measured by thousands of families,
the movement is only beginning, and
we heicV" that during the next ten
years II WilI bring to the State between
quarter 81 million aud a hulfmillion
people
Gas good living can be made on
ten acres in this State, as on thirty in
any other state east of the Rocky
Mountains, and, taking the average
value Of the land east of the Rocky
Mountains, ten acres can be bought in
this State for what three would sell
for elsewhere, A farmer with thirty
acres in other states as little as he
could make living on, could sell it
and buy 100 acres here 49, enough to pro-
vide for his own family and nine others
as large and living as well.
Besides the liberal reward that the
cultivation Of the annual crops would
give, the immigrant to Florida could
set out an orange or grapefruit grove
or a pineapple plantation, and give it
all the attention it would need during
his leisure moments in cultivating his
farm or garden Then in a few years
would come the time when he would
not need to work. He could just pick
his money from the trees; or, better
still, sell to others the privilege of
picking it.
."Unguestionably, Florida is the state
that offers most to the home seeker,
in health and pleasure, in comfort and
sport, and in general prosperity. The
advantages of this State are becoming
better known every year, and every
year will show all increase in the tide
of immigrants coming to enjoy them. !"
