Florida, its history and its romance; . ils, or darkened by the smoke of adventurous commerce. Doubtless, Californians of the 40s smiled at the dreams of enthusiastic Observer. Evento-day, when a record of splendid accomplishments has changed waste lands to fertile fields andtransformed blighted tules into blooming orchards, Sacramento listens to naked facts, half incred-ulous, half skeptical.
