of the ever refreshing, wholesome
and truly beneficial Syrup of Figs

only family laxative generally ap
proved by the most eminent phy

strengthening way and warms and
tones up the internal organs without
weakening them. It is equally benefi

free from all harmful ingredients. To
get its beneficial effects it is always
necessary to buy the genuine, bear

CUT-OVtH PINE LANDS
(Continued from Page Three.)
I am confident it will show such re
sults in the way of stimulated immi
gration to this region, and the conse
quent sale of lands as will bring many
more owners of cut-over lands into the
organization paying the prescribed as
sessment, and thus greatly increasing
the funds available for the extension
and carrying forward of the proposed
work.
My recommendation is that you,
at your annual meeting which is to be
held at an early date, take the neces
sary preliminary steps toward perfect
ing an organization, and that you agree
upon an assessment of so much per
acre to be levied upon such lands as
the individual members of the associa
tion may declare for assessment. This
assessment to be levied annually, and
paid as you may see fit to declare
for assessment. It is understood, how
ever, that the bureau will undertake
to sell for each member an amount of
land equal only to the amount upon
which the assessment is paid by that
person or company. I think that a
minimum should be fixed upon the
amount of land to be listed by the
members, and no member allowed to
list less than 1,000 acres.
If the bureau could get 250,000 acres
listed at an assessment of five cents
per acre it would have a sum of $12,
500 available with which to lay the
foundation for the proposed organiza
tion, and carry on the work in an ef
fective manner for at least one year.
The scope and effectiveness of the
work need be limited only by the
amount of land listed for assessment.
Of course, a great deal more could be
accomplished with $25,000 than can be
accomplished with $12,500, but I would
suggest that we proceed cautiously for
the first year.
Executive Board To Control.
I recommend that the organization
elect an executive board of five or sev
en members to have entire supervision
over the work and the expenditure of
the money subscribed,
rangement the control of the organiza
tion would remain absolutely in your
hands, where it properly belongs. It
is my idea that an energetic, compe
tent, and a reliable man be placed at
the head of the publicity department,
and that he devote his entire time to
the preparation and distribution of
printed matter, the writing of articles
for daily, weekly and agricultural pub
lications; the gathering of exhibits,
and making of photographs; to super
intend the gathering and placing prop
er exhibits at state and county fairs;
and to attend to the correspondence
which may arise from the presentation
of the manifold advantages of this
section to desirable home-seekers. To
do this work will entail considerable
expense, but I think it can be amply
covered by the assessment proposed
if we have the co-operation of a suf

ficlent number of land owner«.
The bureau ehould not attempt. In
my opinion to fix the prospective buy
er In possession of all required Infor
mation, and show him over the land
for sale. The Anal termination of the
deal, as to the fixing of the price
should be left In the hands of the ow
ner of the land. When a trade is con
summated between the owner and the
buyer, the bureau will attend to the
formalities incident to the trade. For
its services in promoting the sale I
would suggest that the bureau receive
a commission of five per cent, from
which shall be deducted the amount of
all asssments that have been paid up
on the particular land sold.
Under this plan you give the bureau
every incentive to obtain for you the
highest possible price for your land
and are not placed at the disadvan- ]
tage usually resulting from direct deal
ing with real estate or land develop
ment agents in whose hands you would
place your lands to be sold at a mini
mum price, leaving such agents to sell
your land for whatever they may be
able to obtain for it. Nor will you, if
adopting the plan which I propose, pay
more than the commission agent's us
ual five per cent commission.
Experimental Farms.
As one of the plans to be worked
out by the management of the pro
posed bureau, I suggest that a small
experimental or demonstration farm
be developed upon the land of each
owner co-operating in this movement.
For instance, let each member set
aside a forty acre tract of his most
fertile land, build upon it a neat cot
tage with necessary out-houses; and
clear ten acres—thus affording the pur
chaser the means of earning a liveli
hood during his first year of occu
pancy. I would suggest that this Im
proved tract be sold at the very mini
mum price and upon terms of easy pay
ments, more care being exercised in
the selection of the buyer than In the
price obtained,
each of these demonstration farms
shall be a show place—an advertise
ment of the possibilities of this soil.
In order to accomplish the best re
sults great care should be exercised In
the selection of the farmers who are to
be given the advantage of buying these
farms.
practical and scientific farmers who
will take hold of this land and demon
strate its utmost possibilities. An in
different or impractical farmer would
defeat the very object sought to be
obtained.

Absolutely Impartial.
It is understood gentlemen,
this bureau is to be absolutely Impar
tial in the suggestion of lands for sale.
Each member of the association when
he lists his land should furnish a plat
together with a full description of
same. When a prospective buyer vis
its the office of the bureau lie is to be
given an opportunity to look over all
the land listed and he alone is to de
cide, without any Influence from the
bureau, what particular land he wishes
to buy. It shall not be the policy of
the bureau to in any way prefer one
member's land over another. AH are
to be placed on the same basis and all
are to be treated alike. As to this
feature I can only personally guaran
tee that this obligation will be carried
out.
that
I
I am fully aware, gentlemen, that in
outlining the proposition which 1 have,
I am asking you to finance an organ
ization out of which I and my asso
ciates expect to make a satisfactory
profit. I do not feel, however, that I
am submitting an untenable or unde
sirable proposition to you.
You un
questionably need accomplished for
you the thing which I propose to do
with the organization outlined,
complish this result yourselves, would
entail a much greater expense than by
co-operation as I have suggested.
To ac
I
feel that we have the time, energy and
ability to make this organization a
splendid success and we simply pro
pose to put our mental and physical
assets against your money. We would
expect you of course to supervise the
expenditure of all moneys through a
board of directors, and we are willing
to enter into bond in a sufficient sum
to guarantee you against loss.
You gentlemen have a valuable as
set in these cut-over lands, and with
the rapid strides which are being made
in the colonization and development
of this section they will enhance in
value every year. With the comple
tion of the Panama canal this develop
ment will be greatly accelerated, and
if successfull conducted the organiza
tion which I propose should be an im
portant factor in this development.
I had hoped to have more time in
which to prepare the outline of this
organization, and shall take the liberty
of supplementing this article with
more detailed plans when I formally
present it for your consideration at
the annual meeting.
