The grandeur of the scenery at and

awaits you, is the wonder and admir-

try has aptly been described as ''the

the greatest syrup cane development

The variety Of cane selected may
safely be depended upon to yield from
80 to 500 gallons of delicious syrup

of syrup has not been less than 40
cents a gallon. Now the price is $50
in barrels. and we have every reason
to believe that we can sell all the
syrup we can produce at over $500
per gallon. You can readily compute

The Florida
National Forest

On the east, west and north of VAL

miles and containing nearly three
hundred thousand acres.
This is one of the greatest Ma

doubt be maintained for that pur-

the bay and bayous have been sold,
the limit of growth will have been

What more delightful spot could
be found than this lovely tract on
the water front, surrounded by a ma
ton forest maintained by the govern
ment for all time.
There are hundreds of streams of
pure spring water running through
the national forest. In these the fish
ing is fine There are many fresh
water lakes usually filled with game
fish. The hunting here is excellent.
especially along the streams, and in
season deer, turkeys, squirrel. rab-

The ideal location makes this a
veritable fisherman's and sportsman's

tions on hunters, fishermen, or camp
ers. They issue to all a right royal
welcome. They tell all to go where
they will and to be thoroughly at
home and simply ask that all be care

The national forest is patrolled by
forest rangers and lookout stations
are located in many sections. There
are several ranger stations or head
quarters connected by phone. In case
of fire great force of men can be
concentrated in short time, which
effectually prevents the possibility of
a forest fire of any size in the ma
tional forest.
In this great national forest, along
the clear, pure streams, are some of
the loveliest spots in the world. We
have a number of people now living
at Valparaiso who spend every leis-
ure hour visiting these valleys, glens
and dells, and every day we hear
reports of some new and wonderful
beauty spot. This feature. can only
be appreciated by a personal explor-
alton of some of these wonder spots
in the Florida national forest. AS
these beautiful places number thou
sands. one will never be able to per-
sonally visit them all in a lifetime.
