The Browns Arrive South

Our trip to Florida has been decid- edly interesting Driving all the way as we did in the auto gave us chance to see much of interest in the eleven states that we crossed. The agrieul- ture gradually changed as we pro- ceeded south. In the Carolinas we passed through one section where the plantations of cotton averaged nearly 2000 acres. This was largely ground on the tenant" system. Another sec ton had a large showing of tobacco, with corn in most every state.
 In Florida the season seems re- versed. Our crops usually grown in the north are summer crops are here grown in the winter as it would be too hot here in the summer months. The citrus fruits-oranges, grape fruit, etc, are grown mostly on sand, but the garden vegetables are grown on muck or marsh swamps People are in the ocean bathing nearly every day and wearing the thinnest clothing and straw hats, while we read in letter received today from Pomfret of zero weather and ice crops harvested.
