ABOUT GREEN FRUIT
AND RAILROAD RATES

Washington, Nov. 3.-(SpecialD -
There is lot OF nonsense being
printed about the poisonous qualities
of unripe fruit. Any one who can
remember back to his youthful con-
sumption of greet apples knows that
there was seldom IA collie in it, but
warfare among rival fruit men has
led to a lot of loose talk" on the
subject. It's foolish to eat green
fruit, but hardly poisonous"
Fruit is making quite bit of
noise in the news columns OF late.
Even the highest courts are getting
up with fruit rates and
things, while the tariff remains Il
real problem to the farmer and fruit
growers.

Of the most important meetings in
the citrus interest ever held In the

called to take steps to offset the un-

bcr Of them expect to have rcpresen-
