The pineapple crops in the Lake Wor tn re-
giOn will be something handsome. Those who
have bearing fields are greatly pleased with
the outlook and the acreage around the lake
will probably be nearly double during the
summer. Recent rains have greatly bcne-
fitted the pines and the fruits, now rapidly
approaching maturity, promise to be OF very
fine quality. The vegetable growers around
the lake have also had an encouraging sea-
son, having had good yields generally, and
have received satisfactory prices. A great
deal of new vegetable land will come under
cultivation next fall This industry will in
future find a large home market to supply
and also have a rapid means OF transportation
to the north. The outlook is certainly very
promising to those who can secure suitable
lands for gardens.
