Agricultural Resources ofsouth Florida

Agricultural Resources ofSouth Florida
One of the most interesting reports
submitted to the late General Assem-
bly,, will be found upon the first page
of to.day's paper--the report of the
joint committee upon the agricultural
productions of South Florida. This
section is almost terra incognita even
in Florida, but elsewhere it is abso-
lutely. unknown, and generally rcgar.
ded as made up of irrcclaima5Ie
morasscs and barren sand beds, dcs-
pcrately sickly, and swarming with
the insect tribe. South Florida, how
ever, is perhaps: taken as a whole,
the most salubrious portion of the
North American continent. And why
should it not be?---a narrow strip Of
land almost sea-girt and perpetually
famed by breeze from the Allan
tic or the Gulf. On such q slip of
CO y: if local causes Of disease
exist. they would be entirely cor
recteu by the marine atmosphere
which constantly pcrvadcs it.
To the extent of its soil adapted
to that purpose, South Florida is,
beyond comparison, the best sugar
growing region of the United States.
1t is capable Of producing tobacco
equal to the Cuba, and it ought to do
much towards supplying the Union
with the finest oranges and pine ap-
pies. Those now raised in St. Lu.
clc and Orange counties are said to
be Of very superior size and flavor.
South Florida, at this moment, af.
fords the best opening to the young
man Of industry, without cal:tal, of
any country in the world. Selecting
a small rich spot, of easy access to
navigablc waters, and stocking it
with tho pine apple plants and orange
trees. in the course ola few years,
he would be placed in position of
ease and thrift, from tho early pro.
duct Of his ground; or he would find
perheps equally profitable disposition
oflhis time and labor, in the manu-
taotarc of ssusoW root. j. z a2lf1ls sassess
