the impression received on that trip. Or.
Dickinson said yesterday:
Il found the people Of Florida very
hopeful. The shipment Of oranges this
year will be 10000 boxes. Next year.
unless there Is another freeze there viii
be an output OF half million boxes and
the year following ii is expected the ship
ment will be- equal TO that before the
freeze.
II noted that people were going there

not for brief time, as they have here
tofore done. They are making invest
ments and altogether Florida wears
