ANOTHER INDICTMENT for
Florida Key farmers to get busy
is the fact that upstate farms
have been drowned out" by re-
cent heavy rains and prices are
going to be very good for various
farm products. Key vegetables
can be produced to match and go
beyond most of that produced up
state, and there is no danger of
floods or frost killing off our pro-
duce. It is a little steep invest
ment for the first year but after
that there is very little needed.
For the first year, too, a fellow is
assured of his food supply and
should produce enough to take
care of clothing and housing, also.

completed, this census will furnish
the whole nation with a wealth OF

in no other way. If the information
IS incomplete or gives a false pic

certain to suffer"
DIR, Powell pointed out that in
past censuses many small trades

information about their enterpris-
es, fearing that the facts would be
to creditors. income tax
