Don't Take Our
Word for It
We May Be
PrejudiCed

but the L. 5. Department of
Agriculture is not prejudiced.
1t is absolutely the highest
authority obtalnable on all
matters pertaining to farm
ing and stock raising. The
last Year Book says:
There is one section
that can produce more
cattle, and produce
them more cheaply
than any other section
of the whole cauntry,
for lands are still
cheap, grazing Is good.
the pasture season is
long, feeds can be pro-
duced at a minimum
cost. This section OF
the country is the
south"
For location, transportation
facilities. character of soil.
we believe our Rice Creek,
Putnam County, Florida,
tract, the best undeveloped
tract of land in the south.
We have cleaned up our
timber operations and are
offering the land at prices
that insure sale at sight.
Our lands are equally
adapted to trucking, small
farming, yarge farming, hog,
cattle and sheep raising.
If you are prejudiced, take
the u. s. Department of
Agriculture's word for II and
Investigate. This Is all we
ask.
