Synopsis of Weather and Crop
Conditions in Florida for the
Week ending September Il, 1916

There were showers over most
Of the section and some heavy
rains in few counties of the
western and central divisions, but
the rainfall, as a.rule, was below
the normal and much less than
the requirements Of growing
crops, such as truck, seedbeds,
cane, peas, and sweet potatoes.
Citrus fruits were also benefited
by rains over portions of the belt,
but more is needed to make the
fruit ill out. At present much
of it is under size. Some fruit is
coloring slowly. Much of the
early planted cotton has been
picked in fact, some fields have
been picked the last time. Late
planted cotton is opening rapidly
and picking is active. Much of
the corn crop has been harvested
the yield was generally satisfac-

northwestern counties, where the
Jul storm did much damage. A

vice. He calls attention to the
value of a Florida acquaintance

boy or girl. Like Editor Jordan,
the Sun editor has five, and the
oldest has just commenced teach
ing a country school after attend
ing the Florida State College for
Women-one of the best institu-
tons of the kind in any state
with all the pride and ambition
one loves to see in those APPROACH
ing task of usefulness and trust.
Florida institutions have the right
spirit, and their graduates are of
untold value to the state and ma
ton. When we have the state Of
South Florida, when parents can
send their children to schools of
higher learning without a journey
as ~~ as to some of the northern
schools a greater number of our
young people will be able to take
advantage of our home institu-
