FLORIDA'S AGRICULTURE


 FLORIDA has more diversified agriculture
 than any other State in the Union. This
 lies in the fact that her mild winter tempera-
 tures. soils that are rich in phosphate and life-
 giving minerals, make possible the year-around
 cultivation of her extensive plant-producing
 lands. Whereas the farmers in other sections
 of the country are limited to one crop each
 season. Florida's vegetable tracts may yield as
 high as four entirely different crops during the
 vear.

 Aside from the citrus fruits, which are the
 State's greatest agricultural crops. Florida has a
 soil that is extremely favorable for the raising
 of more than sixty different kinds of vegetables.
 These fruits and vegetables, which are raised at
 a time of the year when all other farmlands
 throughout the country are blanketed with
 snow. supply our Northern markets with
 freshly ripened products throughout the entire
 winter.
