MY COUNTRY
'TISOF THEE
By S. J. FULLW00D
FLORIDA

ELsSNhNN
Three hundred twenty four
years ago. the territory now en-
bracing the state Of Florida was
discovered by the Spaniards. His
tory's famous character. Ponce de
Leon, came upon Florida in the
course o. his adventures seeking
the perpetual fountain Of eternal
youth. lie did not find the actual
physical fountain. bat had he lIv-
ed and travelled in Florida today,
he might have seen q state where
the youth congregate; and where
the old look and feel young. Flor
ida's climat is conducive 10 that
feeling. -,
Florida is bounded on the north
by GeOl gia and Alabama, on the
cast by the Atlantic ocean, on
the west by the Gulf of Mexico
and on the south by the diffusion
of the waters of the Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico, which are known
as the Strait sof Florida. The
coast line of this state is 375l
miles in length. The formation OF
the state is coral, consequently no
very high elevation is found any
where within its borders.
The state has had the flags OF
/ rance, Great Britain, the Con-
federacy and the United States
flying overhead, throughout its
history. In 1921 the United States
acquired Florida through purchase
from Spain for S5,0J0,OOO.
The seal for Florida is gold IN
color. having the usual pointed
contours around il. IL is Il little
larger than the silver dollar, and
has emblazoned upon the lower
part of the rim, these words I'm
God We Trust" Encircling the
seal. reading from left TO right,
is written "The Great Seal OF the
State of Florida" The picture IN
the center Of the seal shows an
Indian standing beside a lone
palm tree upon the shores of the
sea. A sailing vessel Is located
a short distance off the shore;
and beyond is seen the golden
rays of the sun creeping over the
horizon shortly after dawn.
The Florida state flag follows
10 some extent the ideas incorpor-
ated in the flag alabama. In |
that the St. Andrews cross is en-
bodied in the flag, the crosses |
running diagon2lly from tip TO
staff. The major difference IS
found in that on the Florida flag, |
this cross is broken in the middle |
by the picture seen IN the state
seal.
The state bird is the hooking
bird. The state flower IS the or
ange blossom. And the state song !
is the far famous "Sewanee Riv-
err" known 70 all the people IN
our country. We have not been
informed as 20 whether Florida |
has a nickname, or not.
The 1885 population of Florida
was l,606,S42.
The major crop of Florida is |
citrus. Oranges are an important
crop in Florida. And are closely /
followed by grapefruits, lines,
pineappleS, and avacados. The
citrus fruits grow more abundant
ly inland. while along the coastal
areas, vegetation is sub-tropical.
There are over 100000 acres of
original pine forests in the state;
and a very large acreage Of sec !
ond growth pine forests. The 1885 |
census of livestock showed large !
number of horses, mules, cattle
(including milk cows), sheep and
swine TO be found in Florida.
The major mineral of this state
is phosphate. There are vast guam
titles of phosphate rock through
out the state, and the surface has
barely been scratched. Enormous

FOLLOWING
THROUGH


The local High School boys gave
the writer a correct version of
what hapreped~ih the game at
Fort Myers last week, and in due
fairness, we wish to state that the
Conchs were leading by four points
throughout that game.
In the last quarter the Green
Waves tied the count. Instead of
the period going only 10 minutes,
it lasted Is, and in the three-min-
ute extra teriod it was prolonged
another three minutes. The local
eoach's attention was called to
this fact by Fort Myers fans who
attended the game and that is the
reason Coach Huddleston got hot
with the timekeeper and for which
he was called down by the Fort
Myers paper. He had perfect
right to see that the game was
played fair and square.

The citizens of our resort cities
on the coast take a particular de-
light in advising tourists against
coming to Key West. While this
is, in a way, a plan to keep the
tourists spending their money
further north, it isn't quite crick-
ct as far as the manner of advice
goes. We were seriously told that
two weeks in Key West would
completely ruin the finish on any
car; that the ferry service was.so
unreliable that very seldom it
took less than seven or eight
hours to cross; that there was no
available drinking water supply in
Key West and other preposterous
stories. And still we noticed the
ferry left fourteen cars on the
sip. at Mateeumbe, for lack of
space.
