indication that the actual pledging
has not been as widespread as it was
hoped to make it is the comparative
figures of the amount of stamps al
ready sold and the amount pledged
for purchase during the remainder of
the year. The amount already owned
being considerably over half of the
amount pledged to purchase during
the remainder Of the year.
There was a perceptible increase in
cash sales during the first half of
July, but it will be necessary to main
tain this ratio if the State is to sell
it's full quota. Several counties have
as yet failed to send in their reports
of pledges, it is estimated they will
at least have pledged $1S0,O00.

FLORlDAS YEAR
ROUND POSSIBILITIES

Florida was looked upon almost en-.
tirely as winter producing state, in
conjunction with its well known abil.
ity to entertain winter visitors, until
a very few years ago, but the posi-.
bilities of the Sunshine state are be-
ing gradually exposed and the expos.
ure is startling and gratifying to its
residents and also to its visitors, who
have more than a passing interest in
what Florida is doing.
The original product of Florida was
the orange, which was and is a winter
crop, and later this was augmented
by grapefruit and other members of
the citrus family. It is true that the
pineapple was an important crop
feature for time in Florida and
pineapples were shipped in summer,
or at least late ip the spring, during
May and June mostly. Then celery
and lettuce and tomatoes were taken
up and grown in extensive quantities
in the winter and a little later came
strawberries and Irish potatoes and
cucumbers and beans and every 9th.
er kind of vegetable and these were
all grown in the winter and shipped
North in the late fall or early spring.
So much money was made on most
of these crops that the growers
thought they ought to have rest in
the summer and no effort was made
to raise much of anything in the
summer until corn was started a few
years ago and then gradually it was
found that forage crops of all kinds
could be grown successfully and with
little effort in the summer and this
industry spread rapidly. Watermel
ons and cantaloupes had been raised

summer and they now furnish fruits
of most desirable quality and flavor
late into the summer. One by one
the summer crops have been added To
and the summer activity on the farm
has been extended until nearly every
thing needed for home consumption
is now raised in various sections of
the state.
In this connection an article in the
Moore Haven Times last week gives
concrete evidence of the success of
summer crops and furnishes an idea
in detail of the things that are being
grown in summer in Florida. Moore

opened for cultivation, two years ago
last month and now has about 10000
acres under cultivation. In publish

are now being grown in the summer
the Times says that this list is what
is being gathered in June and July
at a time when most people residing
in the North imagine it is so hot that
white persons cannot exist down
here. OF course this fallacy has been
exploded in the minds of most PEG.

still there are many that believe that
it is dangerous to go about much

of fact the official records of the
temperature for the entire country
show right now that Florida is cool.
