In the ton yearB sinoe I had visited Flor ida* tremendous changes havo taken p^c*. Florida is no longer a 44boom state", but is building on the solid foundations of agriculture and in industry, into what is destined to become one of the nation's greatest commonwealths. Thene are 2% million permanent residents in Florida There is room i*>r ten times as many wihout crowd ing. Florida is t pioneer state. Only i fraction of its natural resources have yet been developed. 1 know oj .o part of An'jCTica wh-oiu such op ,H)rtunities await young men wh? ave the Auu<rwnin pianver spirit , in Florida. And. all things considered, I know no pert of our ountry where living venditions arc, on the whole. io comfortable and so hoaKhful, or wtoro one can live so cheaply the ear around. ISHINO . alligators Did y>u who read this ever hook i ten-pound black bass? If you are i fisherman and want tho thrill ot our life, coraci down to Forida and ?*t your line iiv'o any of the ten housand fresh-wrter lakes. Ten pounders are commonplace. I have ioen hundreds of mouth bass weigh ing up to fifteen pounds, caught in Florida's inland lakes. We hear a lot ibout the big gr?me soa-flsh, tarpon, tailfi^h tuna <and others hut li'ttle about the fresh-water fishing of Florida, which is hard to beat any whew, and costs nothing for the It is hard to And a spot in Florida that is more than a couple of milea r so away from pood Ashing. You drive right to the fishing grounds over smooth, hard-surfaced roads They tell me that it's the alliga tors which niakeke basg fishing so good. The 'gators eat the gars and other fish which prey hi the young bass. Florida has just passed a law. at the behest of the sportsmen, for :hc protection of alligators! OATTLE . . . breeding in Florida If cattle-raising is not Florida's largest industry, it comes clos^ to it. I One doesn't have to go West to find the opwn range and the e:>wboy. On the great plains of southern and western Florida millions ol cattle graza under conditions much lik*, those of the Old West. At Kissimee J I saw cowboys complete with ten-, gallon hats, flannel shirts and. "chaps'' and with 4<six-guns" slung] on the hip, just like the movies. One ranch near th<?e runs 50,000 bead. They are breeding up the Florida cattle into better beef grades. The Brahma bulls, imported from India, havo helped develop immunity t> the Texas {ever tick, and arrases of (be old Spanish stock with Hereford* Angus and other beef breeds are bringing Florida cattle into the high gnade class. Proof of that is the fact that the ?reat Chicago packing houws are building abbtitoirs and packing lousos in Florida. HATS ...... baldness More men go bareheaded in Flori da than anywhere else I have ever ? en. The Florida,' sun is hot?n< denying that In Summer the 'ther nometer rises to higher ranges than Northern fo lc would think bearable 3ut Florida men go around bare headed and nobody ever has sun* itmket Of course, if a man has n? hair on his head, that's another mat ter. Aa great medical authority once wrote, the only way to prevent baldness is to avoid having bald headed grandparents. I've never been able to figure oui just why otoe can work under *h< Plorida sun and not feel the effects of the heat but it's true. "There's "Jways a breere in fie shade" is an old Florida paying. One of tho best small colleges in America, John B. Stetson University at Deland, Florida, was founded by a famous hat. mjanu#actni#r. ^ C^d on the president of Stetson, nnft found that neither he nor .the facul ty And student# weafr a hfct.
