harmful to the citrus fruit industry Of

rus markets, and Is annually causing
the conservative growers Of the State

parable Florida oranges. :
And whereas, It appears impossible
to put a stop to this pernicious practice
through the voluntary action Of the
growers themselves; be II therefore
Resolved, That IN the opinion of the
KiSsimmee Board Of Trade the only ef-
fectual way TO cheek this evil Is to reg
ulate II by legislation, or by the assist
ance Of the State and Federal authoFi-
ties, and 70 that end the Kissimmho

2. That the cooperation Of the Com
missioner of Agriculture and Of the

8. That the matter be laid before the
Federal Department Of Agriculture with
view TO ascertaining whether the
Federal Pure Food Law will afford "
protection.
4. That the attention of the State
Board Of Health be called to the mat
ter and their cooperation be urged.
B. That Governor-elect Gilchrist be
invited to recommend to the next Leg
islature the passage Of an act TO require

unripe citrus fruit 80 Green Oranges"
or "Green Grapefruit" as the case
may be, or otherwise to identify all
such packages as detrimental 10 the
