all reply to Mr.. Munson so that we
may get together as soon as pos
sible.

of Turnbull hammock, just north of

remaining members of his commit
tee.

Prefers Indian River Exchange


In a letter to the Rev. w. H. Cres-
son Mr.. w. S. Hart, one of the most
prominent and successful growers in
Florida, says of the Indian River Sub
Exchange:
"At first we thought DeLand would
be the point but | have been
thinking over the matter, and am
coming to the conclusion that City
Point is it, for us. DeLand is hard
to reach and get back from; mail
matter often takes three days for a
reply, and the fruit there is all pine
land grown. They are in our cOun-
ty and may feel hurt at our joining
another exchange, but this is a mat
ter that must be looked upon from
the standpoint of our own interests.
City Point is on the railroad line that
passes every East Coast orange grow
ing town-which is an important
item-but the most important con-
sideration is, that it can handle all of
the Indian River oranges from Bu-
lows, on the north, to as far down as
the fruit is of the quality that makes
it desirable to handle it through this
exchange. If one sub-exchange han
dies it all, it will be much easier to
maintain its identity than if a part
of it is mixed up with the pine land
fruit of the interior. Let Us
know of your next meeting and Mr..
Chiffon, myself and probably others
will come down"
