Cattlemen also were hard hit. In recent years Florida's year-round pasturage, which normally eliminates the need of laying by hay and feed for winter, has helped make the state an important beef producer.

...effect was to create a whole new industry. Overall poultry production climbed 334% nationally in ten years, while prices to the housewife dropped more than 30% as the market broadened and the quality of chickens improved.

This is of particular interest to the warm-blooded college man who tends to wear his raincoat for a year-round coat...
Third, the newspaper peddler notwithstanding, baseball fans are few in the Riviera of the West. Beaches are open all year-round. Santa Anita, Caliente, and Hollypark run races every day. Bull-fights and j'ai-lai games are just across the border. And there are too many parks and too much picnic weather...
