Of Client, which is noted for It's mag
nifcent botanic garden, is greatlyscons
cerned over the ruling Of the Ameri-
can Department Of Agriculture, pro
h:biting the Importation Of live plants
owing to danger Of insect infection.
It is stated that this will mean a
yearly loss Of business amounting to
two million francs.
AS no shipments have been made to
America for the last three years, it
is felt that Americans have no proof
as to the existence Of insect menace
and the authorities have requested
through the Consular channels that an
American expert be sent to Ghent't to
test the soil and plants, in the hope
that the prohibition will be with
drawn.

The Report Of an Ex--
pert on the vaipa-
raiso Project

If every purchaser who has be
come q part of the life of the VAL
PARAISO PROJECT and III every
prospect who is considering q pur-
chase in the VALE OF PARADISE
should hold q meeting and decide
to send an expert to Florida to in
vestigate for them, they would all
probably decide as follows:
i. Secure some responsible expert
from leading agricultural college.
2. Secure some one from the Iowa
State College of Ames, Iowa, as it is
reputed to be one of the best in
America
3. Have him spend several weeks
in Western Florida and investigate
from every angle.
just such an expert is Prof Ward
NJ. Jones. He graduated from the
Iowa State College in 1897, and for
many years was an instructor there,
and he is now the General Secretary
of the Alumni Association of the
Iowa State College.
ON HIS RETURN FROM FLOR.
IDA, AFTER SPENDING SEVER
AL WEEKS THERE, HE WRITES
THE FOLLOWING LETTER:
Ames, Iowa, Aug. 20, 1918.

Dear Mr.. Perrine: Valparaiso has

anticipatiOns that would find sub

A PERSONS enthusiasm for many

a retrospective view Of them is tax.

stands the most rigid tests when
viewed from all aspects and angles.
The sober second thought only in
creases your unbOunded interest in

its great possibilities
The location of Valparaiso is a
most happy one. The possibilities
of development are limited only by

Engineer Steele is surely the right
man for the place. The work done
stamps him as a man of vision. He
should be kept on the job.
A half day was spent inspecting
the lands intended for sugar cane
development. They rank high in
fertility and will pr0duce the crops
II given half chance. The returns
through scientific handling should
be considerably greater than your
estimate.
Then the back territory surround
ing VALPARAISO and DE FUNI-
AK SPRINGS gives promise of
great returns when developed. 1t
offers unusual opportunities to the
prospective farmer. 1t is beauti-
full country, rolling and well sup.
piled with inexhaustible supplies of
springs and running water. A coun-
try that should be the cattleman's $
delight.
Finally, but not least, the whole
section ranks high from climatic
standpoint. Mosquitoes were con-
spicuous by their absence; there
was worlds OF fine drinking water;
and above all, those invigorating
salt sea breezes coming in from the
Gulf. am looking forward to the
time when will be able to abide
with the rest of the good folks, in
the Vale of Paradise
Very truly yours,
WARD M. JONES.
The above report is from as high
an authority as could be found in
America. His statements should be
most convincing.

The Florida National
Forest

North Of Valparaiso and west of
the main body Of the land we offer
lies the FLORIDA NATIONAL
FOREST, containing 100000 acres of
land or an area of about 422 square
miles. This NATIONAL FOREST
affords some of the best hunting
and fresh water fishing in America.
THE FOREST abounds in game.
Live stock may be ranged therein
at purely nominal sum per head
and it offers al abundant pastur-
age, with plenty of spring-fed
streams of clear, cold, pure water
throughout the entire year. It is
under United States government
supervision. Many sections of the
land, to be sold for stOckraising
purposes, are within the boundar-
les Of the FLORIDA NATIONAL
FOREST. With 10 to 100 acres the
owner has the same range for stock
as though he had personal control
OF thousands of acres, for such is
available for pasturing his hogs,
sheep and cattle. Hogs can be rails.
ed here for 3 cents a pound.
We are selling improved farms on
long time, with house and well, all
fenced and partially cleared and
ready for immediate cultivation.
We offer farms of 10 acres to $40
acres for stock-raising adjacent to
the National Forest at minimum
prices on long time. Small farms
for stock-raising as low as $500.
Read on and know that our plan
is to increase land values and that
this offer Is one of deyelOpment
rather than a land-selling scheme.

IN order to Keep the cane syrup
