Excerpt from Farm and Fireside: The National Farm Paper; October 10, 1911 One of the best of these letters is written by Mr. Joseph Bolt of Brooklyn, Florida. He is a Northerner who has been in Florida a dozen years and likes it= He has reason to like it, for he. Says he. Has made a home there out of the wilder ness, without money and with poor health. He means poor health to begin with, for he adds that, while he and his wife were poorly in the North. During the twelve years we have. Been here we have enjoyed good health all the time. Mr. Bolt speaks highly of the productiveness of the soil in many parts of the state, as does Mr. S. W. Pentz of Grant. Mr. Pentz went to Florida in 1910 with an invalid wife who has recovered her health. He has had a fine crop of sweet potatoes, and believes he can do as well there as in any part of the North. Mrs. A. M. Reed, who does not give her address, says that after a year on the southeast coast, which she describes as a region of beautiful, prosperous farms, she is charmed with the climate, with its Opportunity for open-air life the year round, and thinks it a fine place for the poor man who is intelligent and industrious.
