Punta Gorda, Fr.A., Nov. 25, 1912. The winter season ia bere and we are in tbe midst of the spring planting. Oh, this farming In tbe winter Is tine. For the past six months people in southern Florida have, In a measure, loafed about and waited for the long moist summer to pass, hoping that there would be an early fall so that they could get their crops in. Already the potatoes are up, cucumbers are In blossom, and lettuce fields are ready for the trBnsplan.ing of the plants. Radishes have been in market for some time and strawberries will soon be ready to ship. This is the country of perennlnl green. No deciduous trees here, and no falling of leaves. One aoason merges Into another imperceptibly and without any external change In tbe appearance of na ture. It ia aad to think that tbe entire winter will pass without a single aoul falling on the icy sidewalk, and without hope ot opportunity of grabbing up a handful of snow and ramming it down your best girl's back. Oranges and grape fruit are turning yellow. I hive been feeding off the heavily laden treea standing In tbe rear of this hotel for a month past, but the fruit was green. You got some of our green citrus fruit up north during Octo ber, and likely you-all read of the scrap the independent growers had with the members of tbe Fruit Exchange. Some of the growers pulled the fruit and shipped It before the redolence of the orange blossoms bad left the trees. It put me in mind of the time when a num ber of us boys in Center county climbed into Tommy Custer's cherry trees, and that worthy gentleman came out and asked us "If de blossets bat come off dern trees yet," I am satisfied this Punta Gorda region ia the finest in the state of Florida. It is just iu tbe making and tbo makers will reap bountifully. There is plenty of laud yet to be bad here and what surprises me is the indifference of the northern people in regard to it. Good land can be bad at 20 an acre within a mile or so of a town, and 3 or 4 miles out at 10, and even lesa, Of course it costs semething to clear the land and drain. But there is timber on all of it timber that is worth twice what tbe land costs. As roads are made and county ditches put through the laud ad vances to .15 and $50 no acre. Homesteaders come bere carrying their earthly belongings in a paper sack. They come to stay because they, can't got back. Tli a weather is so mild all tbe year that, no ma'.ter when they come, they sleep out of doors until they get a rude shack built. Then they clear a small patch and put in garden truck. They collect a few chick ens and a couple "hawgs" and let them roam. One man told me it cost him 1.69 to bring up bis family of eight.- They can catch fish and pick guavasall the year round, and that is all the simple-life livers need. Of course tbey miss some of the thrills of city life, and tbey are with out a telephone in tbe sitting room, such as your Buttermilk patrons have the foy of possessing. Even in the towns bere when you ring a man on the 'phone, you will immediately get responses Irom all tbe residences of the ward In which he resides, This arrangement suits the women veiy well, and they strenuously oppose any attempt to change it. - What would you think of 51 days of steady sunshine and 51 nights ol brilliant stars and varying moon? That is exact ly what we have had bere to dale and there ia no indication of a change. The temperature is around 80 in the day time and 70 at night. One or two nights were slightly cooler, just right lor sluuibor. I am satisfied tbal there Is no place on the globe with a climate superior to this part of Florida. I have been bere almost a year now, and I have discovered that the monotony of a good thing palls, just aa continuous adversity discourages, aud sometimes I wish that, for a day at least, I was back in that dear old North ern Ohio where, about this season of the year, before leaving tbe bouse, you bunt up those wrist warmers, that pair of ear millers, and that ueeK scarf, and then get into all tbe heavy clothes you can find hanging around.
