Methodist, Baptist, Catholic and Christian seems to prevail. His orchard was four and five years old. His fruit was certainly fine. In regards to using commercial fertilizer - the silt from the Rio Grande seems to fully take the place of all fertilizers. They have lots of water, and when they irrigate, they were covering the fields, and I saw the fields the next day after water had receded and they were covered all over with the silt.
Commercial fertilizer costs large sums in Florida, before they can do anything towards farming.
I saw no idlers there and much work is going on. Many fields were being irrigated. Wagons filled with Cabbage, Onions, Lettuce and other vegetables lined the roads. They were planting corn, watermelons and cantaloupes, some coming up and some just planting. I never saw any one looking for work.
