own destinities, to live an independent
national life and to govern itself by
chosen representatives of the nation.

PROGRESSIVE POLK COUNTY

One does not have to look far
when travelling through Polk county,
Florida, to see the reason for the
million and half dollar bond issue
for good roads and why it was so
unanimously voted for. Here can be
seen thousands of acres of virgin soil
that these roads will make available
to the settler and some of the finest
inland scenery to be found in Flor
ida that will be made accessible to
northern tourists. The high devel
opment of the settled territory
speaks for an intelligent and pro-
gressive class of people with whom
the question of assuming the respon-
sibility for development rested.
The soil of Polk county has prov
en- specially adapted to citrus trees
and hundreds of acres are planted to
grapefruit. The Lake Garfield MUIR
series have under contract for north
ern people many fine young groves
in their selected tract of land near
Barlow. These groves are making
phenomenal growth even for this re-
gion and will be in bearing in a
short time. The company also has
a splendid lot Of nursery stock for
future use.
The topography of Polk county is
especially pleasing, stretches of the
high, rolling pineland being gener-
ously interspersed with the prettiest
little lakes Imaginable ranging in
size from an acre to several hundred
acres in extent and furnishing some
of the finest fresh water fishing 10

There are some fine trucking lands
in Polk county and the growing of
vegetables as well as general farm
ing is done in many places ON an ex
tensive scale.-Miami Tropical Mag
