PROFITS FROM PAPER.

1t is estimated that there win be from
five to ten tons Of pulp on each acre
from which paper can be made. Each
ton Of pulp should make 1900 pounds
of paper. At profit Of five cents per
pound each acre would earn $780, based
averaged five tons and the profit but
three cents per pound, the returns
would equal $50 per acre. This alone
investment.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1920-06-20

from the leaves alone will pay 90 per
cen to 33 i-3 per cent or the cost of
each acre. This is a very important
feature and will not be lost sight of.
We have proven that in japanese
cane lies our sure profit and we are
sure that from the -products-the
pulp and the leaves-a handsome profit
will be earned. Any OF the three prod
ucts should pay such a return as would
fully satisfy any ordinary investor.
With the three profits assured every
purchaser has three sources OF income.

JAPANESE CANE FOR PAPER PULP.

There is another advantage in Jap
anese cane not found in sugar cane. 1t
has very tough fiber which we know
can be made into very good quality
of paper after the juices have been ex-
tracted. We have had an expert paper
maker experimenting with this Japan
csc cane pulp for many months and he
reports that beyond doubt this pulp
will make a fine grade of paper.
Mr.. Smith is now on the ground and
expects to remain citizen OF VAL
paraiso for the balance Of his life and
to devote all Of his time and energies
to the manufacturing Of paper from
bagasse or cane pulp.
TO make paper from sugar cane pulp
has been the idea OF many a grower
and many an expert 1t has been found
that an acid in the pulp discolors The
paper and although millions OF dollars
have been spent along this line, the
manufacture of paper from sugar cane
Pulp has not progressed far.
In Japan, we are Informed, paper
has been made from japanese cane for
over a hundred years. If the Japanese
can make paper from this cane, we can
do The same. Til disadvantage az the
sugar cane are eliminated in Japanese
cane.
Mr.. Smith is very sanguine as to the
profits from this source and conf
IDENTIFY believes that the profit from
paper making will be as great as the
profit from the syrup.

THE NORTH FARM.

The North Farm IS in charge Of Mr..
King, competent farm manager. This
farm consists Of sections 80, 4 and 9.
This vast farm of 1920 acres is more
than half plowed and ready for culti-
walton. About 800 acres are now in
cultivation, the balance. together with
other broad acres, will be planted in
the fall for the 1921 acreage.
Practically all Of the North Farm has
been reclaimed from the virgin forest
since August 1. 1919.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1920-06-20
THE GREAT WATER POWER

On the North Farm is located the
water power that we hope soon to de-
velop for many purposes.
This water power will deliver fully
1900 horse power and will furnish
power for the paper mill, cane crushers,
electric lights, and many other neces-
sary purposes We are indeed fortu-
nate in having this great power at our
disposal and loca;ed on Our property.
PROFIT FROM LEAVES.
Four TO six tons OF leaves in silo
should be produced on each acre of
cane. This feed is worth a great deal
but we feel sure we can sell it on the
ground for at least Si5 per ton net.
This will mean $50 to 800 per acre.
OUR GUARANTEE.
We are so sure CT the results that
we are willing to ard do guarantee The
net profits from every acre shall and
will be at leas5 10 per cent. We abso-
lutely guarantee settlement with rur-
chasers on that tasis.

contract printed in these pages. After
you have read this contract and be-
come a purchaser, if you can show US
whereby purchaser could be better
protected than we have provided we
will show you where you can secure
several thousand dollars for The. infor-
nation.
Many of our purchasers, after thor
oughly considering this investment, de-
cided to offer several thousand dollars
to any person who could show a bet
ter plan for the protection of pur-
chasers than already devised.

purchaser ten acres or land, prepared.

Ordinarily, sugar cane does not come
up in this section of Florida more than
one or two years. This cane is heavy

necessary to rotate the crops, for un-

THE SOUTH FARM.

The South Farm consists of the south
half of section i6 and 100 acres each
in sections IL and II. Approximately
$40 acres are under cultivation now on
the South Farm. Mr.. Alfred Johnson
is superintendent. He is known gen.
orally in this section as one Of the
best farmers in west Florida. He is O
tireless worker and man who knows
how and what to dc. An inspection OF
the mules at both the North and South
farms will convince any one. Every
mule is in prime condition, as sleek
as a mole.
In 1919 we had in cultivation PSI
acres didived almost equally between
the South and North Farms. 1t is al
most unbelievable that SO much forest
land could be reclaimed and planted as
has been done on the South Farm.
AT one point on the line between
sections i6 and 81 you can look for a
half mile north and see a half-mile
of growing Japanese cane. Likewise
a half-mile each way east and west in
section i6; also halfmile south. This
is most inspiring sight and well worth
going across the continent to see. On
both the South and North Farms splen-
did fields of cane were grown.
THE SOIL.
The soil at the cane farm is very
nigh quality for this section of Flor
ida. Soil experts who see this land
express great surprise at the excel
lent quality of the soil, and predict
great croDS for the future
A recent examination by one of the
greatest soil experts in Florida dis
closes, according to his report to US,
that much of this soil grades as high
as 80 per cent for excellence. Some of
it as low as so per cent. Most Of 1t
much higher. Considering that no soil
is 100 per cent excellent, we consider
this report very remarkable.

In 1917. Brattleb0ro. with a total sale of

the pennant by narrow margin over Ben

complete returns this year, but prelm-

cate that it viii not equal its 1917 record.
Last year the pennant went to st. Johns

plete returns from that place for 1920
show a considerable drop from that figure.
Rutland seems to be the only city which
has made complete report, with $50.

Many of the towns. especially the
smaller ones, show a large percentage gain
over last year; the returns from Shore
ham. in particular. have jumped from
$3.50 in 1919 to so this year.
Secretary Slocum estimates that the
sales this year will be at least 81 900,
gain of over $500 over those Of last year
In previous years it has been the Gus
tom to send out letters containing seals to
people in the state. with the idea that they
would keep the seals and return money
for them, or if they did not feel like con-
tributing to the project. to return the
seals. This method, while very effective.

the idea was to let the school children sell
