Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, H., March 22.-Wheat--
Generally clear weather prevails ex-
cept for a few traces of moisture in
the Ohio valley. West and southwest
where rain is most needed are still
dry. Considerable wheat has been ac-
cumulated by professional traders,
much of which would be sold in the
event of rain. We are bullish on
wheat but would buy it only on dips.
Corn-Seasonable weather condl-
lions, favorable for marketing and
farm work. The immense accumula-
ton of corn at this market is the
most burdensome feature and rs the
factor that Is depressing prices. Bulls
are not displaying confidence and are
showing a disposition to back away
from possible delivery Unless the
shipping demand improves sharply
further decline on liquidation can be
looked for.
Oats-Favorable weather for spring
work is encouraging the belief that
large acreage will be planted. Re
ports that wheat area is being turned
to oats have been depressing In
fluence. The increase in receipts is
expected to be but temporary and buy
ers are being attracted by the lower
prices of cash oats. Any improvement
in the shipping demand will be re
fected in the pit. Contract stocks
continue to decrease, losing $1,000
bushels now, 100000.

QUARTER BILLION IN ORANGES.
Tremendous Amount of Money Repre-.
scented by California Fruit Groves.

In a recent report on the fruit indus
try in California it was stated that the
business today represents an outlay Of
$3.50, 600, 900. A large share of this be-
longs to members of the California
Fruit Growers Exchange, cultivators
of the famous "Sunkist" brand and hav-
ing 5000 groves.
Great care was taken by California
fruit growers in this seasons crop and
a large expenditure was made in pro-
ducing what is designated as the high
est grade of oranges ever placed on sale
under the name of 'Sunkist." Q5)

Federal Building for Smyrna which
passed Congress recently. Bids are

practicable an agent of the Depart
ment will be sent to Smyrna to make
a personal examination of the pro
posed locations and such others as
he deems desirable. Based on the
agents report, together with repre-
sentations in writing from other
sources, the Departments selects the
site and if property is to be acquired
by purchase, accepts the offer of the
successful bidder and the Attorney
Generals approval of the title. Nc

and the Government is necessary ol

PROSPECT GOOD FOR PEACHES
In the Few Orchards Left, Trees Seem
to Be Full and Promising.


to Be Full and Promising.
From present indications there
will be peaches for everybody this
year. The dreaded June drop has
been very light and the trees all over
the State are heavily laden with
fruit. This means that there will be
enough peaches for everybody-that
is, peaches plentiful enough and
cheap to be within the reach of
everybody. The prospect of large
peach crop on the Peninsula is glad
some news to the people who have
orchards for they had begun to be-
lieve that the fruit was a lost
luxury Unfortunately the expected
crops have been failures for so many
years that whole orchards have been
chopped down and the land devoted
to other crops.

Crowds Surround the Booth at FAIR

One of the greatest drawing cards
of the Fair was the Automobile Booth
in charge of Mrs. William H. Stay
ton. This department eclipsed all
former OCCASIONS in enthusiasm and
attendance and netted the club ladies
considerably over a hundred dollars.
Three cars were kept continually
with their "Seeing Smyrna, " and
so eager were visitors and townfOlks
to take in these pleasure trips, they
lined the sidewalk the full length
of the Fair Grounds. 1t was probably
the busiest booth of Fourth of July
and there is high praise for Ms.
Stayton and her assistants for the
capable manner in which they man.
aged the crowds. 1t was past mid
night before the cars could be taken
to the Garage. This department alone
cleared nearly 1925.
