In round numbers there are about
sixty thousand acres of surveyed land
and about thirty-five thousand acres
of unsuryeyed land vacant in DeSoto
county and some of this land is good
yellow pine, hammock and trucking
and farming land. NJ. Z. Albritton,
the surveyor, says there is vacant
land within three or four miles of
Wauchula, 1.-The best noted trucking
place in DeSoto county" and he men,
tons several other localities in which
such land can be found in that coun-

land would make two thousand three
hundred and seventy-fve forty-acrc
farms and there seems to be plenty of
room for the hOmesteader i'm that
county. There is still considerable
government land in Florida, appar-
emily, although there seems to be a
belief to the contrary.
