1Opinion of the Court

McCORD, Circuit Judge.

On April 20, 1942, the United States filed a petition for condemnation of certain lands in northern Florida for the purpose of establishing an air field. All the properties in question were transferred to the Government on agreed stipulated prices except tracts known and designated as Nos. 4 and 7. The judgment was entered November 19, 1943. Upon the return of a verdict fixing compensation for these two tracts, we have only the appeal of Mrs. Annie E. Bryan, who owned the tract of land known as No. 7, which consisted of 540 acres.
