THE KEYS— GOLD COAST (Continued from Page One) carefully “The Floridian Keys” !by Professor John C. Gifford -of | |the University of Miami. This | j book may be had for the asking from the Commissioner of Agri- culture at Tallahassee, Fla. It | was written by one who knows | the Keys at first hand. He lived on them and studied them. There |is a special reference to soil pro- ductivity which in itself is an en- | cyclopedia on the subject. | The objection to farming on a ‘large scale is said to be’ lack “of | water. Here is what Professor 'Gifford states in’ reference to |rainfall: “Rainfall is usually ade- quate at all times of the year. | There are above fifty inches in 'the Biscayne Bay region. It de- |creases as you move westward. |Dry Tortugas is probably the |driest spot in the State of Flor- jida. Both drought and coolness jserve as checks in vegetation |growth. If either come at the | proper time it produces plentiful | bloom, followed by an-abundance of fruit. Some trees bloom and |fruit continuously, others may |have two crops a year. There is |plenty of dew which is a small | but constant and important source |of moisture in tropical countries”. | jOn water supply the same author- lity is here quoted: “Water. fic jthe ground’ is brackish. If the | well is shallow the surface water | will serve to water the plants. On some of the Keys, such as Big |Pine, the well water is fairly | fresh”. i Of the soil, he states: “A deep |red soil resulting from the disin- | tegration of coral rock is one of the richest soils, and unless ex- hausted by years of cropping in itobacco or sugar cane, produces | the very best quality of fruits, |such as limes, sapodillas, pineap- joes, avocados, breadfruit, coco- nuts and many other tropical tree products”. re (To Be Continued Ip A Suc- HHIGH SCHOOL NOTES "25. cord grapes and quinces are new for this year. 1 Sweet potatoes, broccoli, yellow tur- nips and spinach are the best vegetable | values this week. i Roast Shoulder of Fresh Pork Gravy Bolled Rice ‘Creamed Spinach Bread and Butter Baked Apples ‘Tea or Coffee Milk Moderate Cost Dinner Pot Roast of Beef with Vegetables Cabbage and Apple Salad Bread and Butter Coconut Custard Pie Tea or Coffee Nery Special Dinner 0d Tou Roast Stuffed Young Chickens Mashed Sweet Potatoes Broccolf Cranberry Sauce Honeydew or Persian Melon Coffee ELEVEN LICENSES TO MARRY LAST MONTH Judge Raymond Lord released | figures on marriage license totals | for the month of September to- | day.
