rL0RIDA'S SUPERB SUMNER
CLIMATE AS VIEWED BY VISITOR

Mr.. E. w. Barber, Of jackson,
Michigan, is a winter visitor to Polk
county, stopping out on Crooked
Lake, and he writes back to the
Daily Patriot Of his city highly in
teresting descriptive letters with
much instructive matter and sound
conclusions In them. Mr.. Barber has
learned that the alleged excessive
summer heat OF Florida is bugbear.
q myth, and that In reality right
here in Polk county amid our beau
tiful lakes there is q better summer
climate than in many parts Of the
North. He says in his latest let
ter:
often It is said that its climate is
Florida's leading asset. 1t is, Of
course, prominent factor. 1t is
never as hot in summer as in States
farther north. Northern people who
have spent several summers in this
interior part of the State. especially
in the north or eaast shore of one OF
it's charming lakes, with q breeze
blowing across the ripping water
every day, do not hesitate to say
that they like the summers better
that the winters. There are no ex-
tremes of temperature. The winters
are not cold, but the air is uniform
" delightful and invigorating. The
only chilly spells occur when the
mercury is below zero in the North
and then comes south to get warm
Throughout the entire twelve
months rainy. cloudy and disagree
able days are the exception; bright
fair and sunny days the rule. The
mercury seldom drops below 80 IN
the winter, or rises above 80 in the
summer. Ninety-six degrees is the
highest recorded at Tampa since
weather observations were made by
the government for nearly forty
! years Official records show an aver
age of Is for summer and 60 for
winter"
