/V. C. Carolina Opportunities
Better Than In Florida
Raleigh.—Opportunities in North
Carolina “agriculturally and other
wise,” are now “far superior” to
those available in Florida, Frank
Parker, crop statist'cian of the De
partment of Agriculture of this
state, declared after completing a
seven months survey of Florida.
*• Mr. Parker's comment, however,
was not meant as any dispa.gement
of Florida. “There is a real basis for
Florida’s reputation,” he declare'*;
nnd he paid tribute to the beauty 0/
the flora and the “abr.Olut .y di’lig't
ful” climate.
But Mr. Parker pointed out that
North Carolina lias as much diversi
fication, east and west, and Florida
lifts, nortli and south; that the moun
tains of the western half of this sec
tion are rapidly coming to lx* almost
as important in a tourist sense as is
the cast coast of Florida; and that
“outside the fruit industry, Florida
offers very little in comparison with
North Carolina” agriculturally.
“Florida,” pointed out Mr. Parker,
“is the most talked of state in the
union. One the one hand arc those
wlm are enthusiastic and optimistic
over its possibilities; then there arc
the others who knew it as a balloon
and that it is already over-due to
burst. After having spent a part of
seven ■ months traveling over Florida
for tin?, particular purpose of study
ing its possibilities and reliabilities,"
Mr. Parker has come to the conclu
sion that “there is a real basis for
Florida’s reputation, nnd one worthy
of study." He advances this conclu
sion, not ns “propaganda, but mere- i
iy as an honest opinion.
“The only way to understand it nil
is to go see, / study carefully and
make comparisons. One must took be
neath the surface of uny widely ad
vertised situation to learn true con
ditions. There is an olfl saying that
where there is smoke, fire will usu
ally be found.
“Florida really ha;, much to offer
but she has dangerous an well ns
good opportunities. It is good state
to offer inspiration and belief <n tftc
possibilities of real estate develop
ment. Far sighted men may, to good
advantage go there and get ideas,
tarry them back to their home-towns
and improve their natural surround
ings advantageously.
“Her biggest word-factor and the
most unanswerable argument ad
vanced is that of ‘climate.’ Of course
the best . male is that, to be found
in the iiithern half of the state and
particularly nearer the southern end.
As may ho expected, even tlu* cli
mate is exagerated. Norte of Palm
Beach, it takes considerable ‘nerve’
to ‘enjoy’ lake ami surf bathing in
the winter, but tlu* climate and flora
is absolutely delightful.
“Most critics immediately advance
the idea that there is no real basis
for Florida's phenominnl rise, in real
estate values that* she has no basis
industries nor agricultural develop
ment, outside a limited citrous indus
