SOUTH FLORIDA EXHIBITS

Because of the high cost Of freight
and express rates, and the difficulty
in securing labor for gathering exhib-
its, the displays at the fair are typic-
ally south Florida. With the excep-
tion of Marion and Bay counties,
what is shown can be raised In any
south Florida county, and the demon
stration of accomplishment in won
derfully convincing.
This years exhibits prove that
there is no county on the southern
Florida Gulf coast that cannot sup

ago. from Jacksonville, we believe,
was in the habit of saying in his
speeches that you may build an i'm
passable wall along the northern
boundary of Florida and you may bar

ping with food and civilization needs,
and Florida will adjust itself in
month and never know it is cut off
from the rest of the world, so COM
plete is its productive scope OF
course that is largely "buncombe,"
but it is a fact that south Florida
counties have demonstrated this year
that they are raising bread and meat
and butter and fruit and vegetables,
and can raise sugar, sufficient to do
for their needs and have great sur
plus to sell which would make tffem
the richest section in the world.
DeSoto, Hillsborough and Polk
counties are neck and neck in the dis
play made, while Manatee stands
either ahead or just behind them, a
position which ii will take official de-
cision to name,
Pasco county exhibits as "an all
round county"-that is, it shows the
stape farm products, the meat prod
nets and the citrus and trucking pos
sibiIities. It's exhibit is an eye,opener
to those who imagine that sand, and
even a little clay, in Florida will not
produce much.
From far-off Bay county, the new

west of Tallahassee, we have a won
darful showing of the grains, grasses
and hay. That part of Florida is pro-
