The workload of the courts has been and is now extremely heavy. This Is brought about not only by the tremendous increase in the permanent population of our great State. but. as everyone knows. our population for approximately 3 to 5 months of the year is doubled by visitors to our State. It should be remembered that Florida is the gateway to Central and South America and we have many problems relating to shipping. immigration. and trade not only with the LatinAmerican countries. but with all the ports of the world. Commercial activities and business in the State are naturally keeping pace with the rapid growth in population. and in addition to our tourist business. both winter and summer. our State is making rapid strides in many other industries. Some of these are the cattle industry. the growing of sugar cane and the processing of sugar and other byproducts. the shipping of fresh fruits and vegetables. the very important and tremendous citrus industry. with the canning and concentrating of citrus and citrus juices. the mining of phosphate and the shipping of phosphate and its byproducts to all parts- of the world. a vital contribution to our defense effort. the lumber and naval stores industries. commercial fishing and shrimping. and general farming.
