DRESSES JUNE 10.

The Redwood County Farm Bureau
held it's annual picnic last Tuesday at
the Troske Grove west of Wabasso.
1t is estimated that approximately
$500 people were present to spend
the day. Speeches by prominent men,
music by the Belview band, games,
and baseball game filled the days
program.
]. F. Reed, state president of the
Farm Bureau spoke interestingly of
agricultural problems. He pointed
out that farm conditions were bad
and that agriculture was not on a
par with the rest of~the organized
groups, such as the manufacturer and
the unions. Bankers business is de-
pendent on agriculture so far as the
middle west is concerned" declared
Mr.. Reed, adding that "the prosperity
Of today depends on the prosperity of
agriculture" He gave as an example
why agriculture must succeed when
he said that of five average farms re-
presenting an investment of $18, 200
each, paid a net return Of only $713.
AS proof that the farmer of today is
doing things he pointed out that in
the last 10 years the rural population
has decreased 4%o, while the efficiency
of the farmer measured in products
produced increased 1879. He declar-
ed that the purpose of the Farm
Bureau was threefcld,

unity, standing pre.eminent among
the resort cities of the Unietd States
combine all the appeals that may
be found individually in the various
resort centers Of the State. Bare
indeed is there community which
combines the necessary requisites
for both summer and winter recrea-
ton as this. Daytona, Seabreeze,
Daytona Beach, Ormond and Or
mond Beach, at Port Orange, the
incorporated cities which comprise
this favored community, stretching
alnog the banks OF the beautiful
Halifax river, and touching the ma
jestic Atlantic, occupy an enviable
position among the resorts OF the
world. They combine all those
things which go to make for ideal
home life during the summer and
winter.
Climate EquabIe.
The Halifax country appeals even
more as a summer resort than it
does as q winter resort. This sec
ton possesses advantages peculiar
to itself and shared by no other
community in the United States.
Chief among these advantages are
its geographical location, its
equable climate. its recreational
facilities, its health conditions, its
pure water and its natural beauty.
While all Of these stand pre-
eminent, perhaps the most prom
inent is that OF its equable climate.
For twelve months in the year the
people Of the Halifax country live
most comfortable and enjoy the
advantages denied to less favored
communities.
There are many factors which
enter into the making of this
equable climate and Of these, the
greatest are the trade winds which
are continually blowing. and which
temper the climate. while other sec
7tions are Swelterings under the
heat. Sunstrokes are unknown to
the Halifax country. The year
round range of the thermometer is
less than in any other community.
Rarely in the summer does the
thermometer go above so, and even
then the tempering breezes leave
the impression Of q much lower
thermometer. In the winter tinne,.
during the most disagreeable
weather, the thermometer rarely
goes below 40. giving a range Of
less than so degrees the year
round. There Is no record of any
heat prostration In Florida.
A physical factor that has much
to do with these trade winds is
the fact that Daytona and the
other cities of the Halifax country
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-12-09

are located on the narrowest part
Of the peninsula. From the Atlantic
coast to the Gulf Of Mexico, az
the crow flies, is little more than
100 miles: thus providing a con-
slant current Of air between the
two great bodies Of water in the
unceasing effort to equalize tenn
peratures and give Daytona its cool
ing breeze. With the great Atlantic
ocean and Halifax river acting as
water equalizers, it Is very easy to
understand why the Halifax coun-
try possesses its remarkable climate.
1t is only a question Of time when
the Halifax country viii be
recognized nationally as one OF
the leading summer resorts OF the
United States. Reinforcing its re-
markable climate are the many
other advantages, any one OF which
would be considered distinct
asset in any community.

The United States Is noted for its

become famous for their diversity
and magnificence Of their attrac-
tons. and compare favorably with
the resort centers Of the world.
These resorts, though With their
diversified appeals, are limited In
their attractions because of the
fact that they are either summer or:
winter playground centers. Go
where you will. to the famed
