The real movement Of cantaloupes
will commence from this section by
the latter part Of next week. when
they will be forwarded in carload lots
from this point.
There will be some fruit shipped
the first Of the coming week. but the
real cutting will not commence until

Melons and 'loupes both have been
moving rather heavily from the south

has greatly decreased owing to the
dry weather. and growers having ex-
perienced a heavy loss BY both blight
and drouth, but il is hoped that they
will bring handsome prices.
South Of Gainesville the crop will
last only a short while. as in a large
number of places il is stated that the
vines are already burning mp and the
little fruit they contain Is unsatis-
factory and unsaleable.
I'm this immediate section the crops
are fine. but nothing like as heavy as

Justice When Mr.. Bowers makes
his report President Taft will again
determine the question OF imitation
whiskey- either supporting or re
versing the decision of his predeces-
sor.
This fight Of the distilling interests
began even before the pure food law
was passed. For Il years previous
TO its passage a regularly organized
lobby was maintained In Washington.
and II is the boast OF Warwick NJ.
Hough, their attorney, that he. and
the interests which he represented.
were for years the largest factor in
preventing the passage Of the pure
food law Hough is still in charge.
The first decision that imitation
whiskey was imitation was rendered
in 1906 by DR.. II. W. Wiley. chief
chemist Of the Department Of Agri-
culture; Mr.. Carey OF the Treasury
Department and S. y. d. North, now

cision was by a board Of seven State
pure food analysts supporting Dr.
Wiley.
The distillers protested. They got
the question transferred to a board
consisting Of the. Secretary OF Agri-
culture. its solicitor. Mr.. McCabe. and
Assistant Secretary Hayes. Before
this board made its report the case
was appealed directly 10 the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt heard arguments
and put the matter up TO Attorney.
General BOnaparte.
In 1907 Attorney-General BOnaparte
rendered his first decision He held
that there was a difference between
genuine whiskey and the imitation
prcSrct. End upheld Wiley in his con
tention that the imitation article
ought to be 50 marked.
Mr.. HOugh and the distilling inter.
ests asked for a rehearing Of the case.
and il was reheard After a while
AttCrncy-Gencral Honapartc gave
another opinion the same as his first.
The distilling interests then sought
relief In the courts aud asked the
