You, the favored inhabitants of the Sun God's Golden Land of pearl-made beaches, conversing palms, persuasive breezes, of little giggling waves which, surprising you on the seashore seeking amusement, steal up and deposit gifts of tinted shells and pebbles at your feet, then dance away to gather more for you; you for whom the more than stately pleasure domes that far surpass the most extravagant dreams of Kubla Khan in Xanadu have been built how aware are you of the subterranean force which flows beneath your fabulous mansions? Who knows? Perhaps it is symbolic that the area in Florida which is world famous for its display of extreme wealth, glamour and pleasurepursuit, is also the area where Florida's greatest industry agriculture reaches a very high peak. And under the state's $475,863,000 agricultural take at farm level of 1957 flows the plankton-rich stream of migrant labor. This nameless, faceless force makes possible Florida's new approach to its burgeoning agriculture. Only when the unusual occurs like destructive freezes of the past season, is public attention called to this underground flow which nevertheless, affects powerfully the economics of, and everybody who, lives in this green-and-gold hot-house of the nation
