Note
Excerpt from the entry for Jacksonville, FL: In connection with the discussion of Jacksonville's milk supply, it may be of interest to note a report from Jacksonville that the well-known winter-resort hotels located at intervals from St. Augustine for a considerable distance along the Atlantic coast have a peculiar method of securing good milk. This climate would, of course, be very hard on cows in the summer, and, moreover, there would be no occasion for cows being kept there in summer, as the places are practically depopulated. To meet these conditions, the owner of the hotels owns herds of cows that are shipped into the southern part of Georgia and Alabama for the summer, and a short time before the resorts open are shipped back to the hotels.
