HOW 4 SUCKER" WAS SAVED

A city man got a very glowing cir
cular from a Chicago development
company offering 10 acres of land in
Florida. for the surprisingly small sum
$500 a peanut unit the circulr
called it. He could grow, the circular
said, a thousand bushels of peanuts
on his 10 acres and could sell the
peanuts-allowing for low prices at 81
a bushel. The city man was impress
ed; but he SEM the circular to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture with a query a to whether or not
the investment was a good one. Fol-
lowing are some sentences from the
letter he got in reply: "The literature
is of the kind designed to deceive city
people in the North and West who do
not know anything about farming
1.-The average return from 10 acres of
peanuts would not exceed $500 to
$780, 'eYou could buy a 100-acre farm
in almost any of the counties of west
ern Florida. including the n mention
ed in the circular, forr the price these
people ask for 10 acres" The whole
unit system, whether it is pecans,
peaches, figs, cane, peanuts, hogs, or
what not, is simply a means of selling
land at three to five times what it Is
worth to ignorant or unwary small in
vestors." ITO pay $500 for this 10
acres of land would stamp you as a
sucker of the .rankest class" "All this
is without ~reflecting in any way on
Florida, for it is a good state and
lands are comparatively cheap there"
