It has Iteen very dry this season, the total rainfall being 23 Inches less than usual, so you find a scarcity of cabbage and strawberries. If you i wish strawberries you must pay sixty cents a quart for them where you could buy them last year on the ground for ten cents a quart. You find many acres of ground being burned over and much on fire, and trenches being dug around the burn- ; ing muck. On our way home from a boom town called Venice on the gulf, we saw a rattlesnake at least six feet long come out of the burning grass, so you see when we have snow and rain in the no-th, we have sunshine and dry weather in the south. The roads are splendid here and I you can go most anywhere in Florida on paved roads. The road will be opened from Tampa to Miami through the everglades this spring. The everglades contain millions of acres of muck land, the soil being from five to nine feet deep. The Lake Okeechoj- bee, which is 23 feet higher than the ocean, has always kept this land wet and when it is ditched it is very productive. At one lime we crossed this lake and on it were millions of ducks which had come from the north. 1 asked a resident why the did not kill them and ship them north. He said after they were there a few days they tasted fishy and were not good. Talking about fish, we catch all the fish we want at the end of the street on which we live. The kind of fish we have now are trout, whiting, yellowtails and catfish. The darkies eat the catfish as they are not so good as our catfish in the northern waters. The temperature of the state is becoming colder each year, so the old settlers say, on account of cutting away the forests and ditching the country. This > no farming country, and if you come here to make a living by farming, it will be a failure. Os course you can truck, but no one gets rich by trucking. It costs too much to get it to market, and there are only spots in the state ,where you can Huck, and then you must fertilize. Some of the orange groves are fertilized three times in raising one crop of oranges. • There are three kinds of soil in Florida: First, very nearly all where you can raise nothing; second. ®uck and sand, w. ere they raise strawberries, cabbages and other kinds of truck; third, yrtlow soil, where oranges are grown. As I was Ruing to Daytona, I saw some low land that looked tich. ■ I asked a naHve why it was not cultivated, lying «o near Daytona, and he said, "Well, neighbor, that land is all right part of h® day, but when the tide comss in, 1 You walk on it you will get wet oot. even it you have you shoes on.” esterday, I went with a friend, * Ir ‘ Wood, 90 miles north of Tampa. e sun was shining warm, and as we along we saw beautiful lakes
