South Florida, especially the country
bordering on and which has been
drained from Lakes Okeechobee and
Kissimmee, is destined to become the
leading sugar producing country OF the
United States, and probably Of the
world, in proportion to area. II will
be remembered that for years since
Lake Kissimmce and its tributaries
were drained by the Dlsston land
company, when millions Of acres have
been cultivated in sugar-cane and rice.
the influx to that section has been
steady and profitable, and the planters
today Of that section, as a rule, are
prosperous and contcnted. The open
ing Of this land in the Okeechobee sec
ton means the same thing, and IL is
safe to say that within the next few
years Florida will be supplying the
markets Of the world to large extent
with syrup, sugar and rice.

that it is OF frequent occurrence, as
many cattle are Lost In this way"
Then, again, it may not surprise our
Michigan friends, but IL will be Of
great interest to us natives to learn
that our cattle manage to pull
through" here during the winter. It
is fact well known to all except "ns-
tives and SIGH" that Florida in winter
is desert waste with only an occa-
sional patch Of dead, dry grass. or
course, people who have lived here all
their lives have an impression that
pasturage in South Florida is practi-
cally the same winter and summer, and
they will be only mildly surprised to
learn that title pull through" under
such conditions. Last winter was the
coolest season we have had in ten years,
yet there was not a day that straw
berries were not shipped from Lake.
laDd-and the cattle, they pulled
through r.
And what a pretty picture Of primi-
tive conditions Is drawn by the cores
pendent, when he portrays the semi
civilized natives = store-keepers and
their clerks-dancing around a lighter
knot fire to keep warmi This is very
frequent occurrence on the streets Of
Lakeland. Only, IL seems that such
picturesque scenes can only be wit
messed BY somebody fresh from the
North.
We think there Is field In Florida
for comic weekly devoted entirely 70
reprod ucing che articles sent out de-
scrlbing conditions Ia this State, and
published IN Northern papers. There
would be lots Of material, and there ia
