 The possihility that in one part of the State certain southern 

 crops can be successfully grown is supported by the continued 

 existence in that section of plants, reptiles, birds and insects 

 which normally occur much farther south. If this should prove

 and our city markets be supplied with them after the supply 

 from the south has ended, it might result in marked changes in 

 the crops in that portion of the State. Evidence bearing upon 

 this has been and is being gathered at every opportunity, in the 

 hope that the results may justify practical tests of the idea here 

 suggested.
