POISON OR NO POISON.

SINNERS

Orlando County Citizen in Strong Ed
torlal Denounces Green Fruit
Shippers.
At last the Green Fruit Crowd hal
what they think is a good enough
cudgel to slug the Citrus Exchange
with.
There is no denying the charge tina
the green orange is sour. That it il
immature and therefore of no flavor
That it is fraud on the buying pub
lie. That its shipment always has
been disastrous to the reputation oil
the fruit and demoralizing to the
trade and the industry.
And while the Green Orange Ship
per in one and the same breath &C
knowledged all these facts and still
held to the reservation that he ought
to have his own sweet way in ship,
ping sour fruit, he made no open
fight in many instances, because he
could see no weak place to take hold
of. But now he thinks he has discov-
cred the weak spot.
He rises up In ultra-righteous indig-
nation and is going to try to save the
country" lin view," as he says, of
the libellous course pursued by the
Florida Citrus Exchange in stigmatiz-
ing the green Florida oranges as poi
sonous and in view of the gross mis-
representations and misstatesments
that have been spread through the
United States"
Thus he will now come from under
cover and stamp himself in his true
colors under the serious charge that
the Citrus Exchange lies.
His proposition is to be based on
whether or not the green orange Is
poisonous.
We do not propose to discuss the
merit of that question, except to say
that during the past week we were in
receipt of a lousy, scabby, gnarly
green orange, sent us from Cincinnati,
Ohio, wrapped in tissue bearing a GER
tain brand and stamped superior
packed strictly selected fruit" which
had been shipped them by certain
firm, the representatives of which
pretend they believed in the Citrus
Exchanges methods and, though they
were buyers would not ship immature
fruit.
This particular orange was one of
carload and when it was sent to this
office was as green as grass and with
in three days rotted through and
through.
Now, it may not have been stamped
poison but it certainly was green
and as miserable a specimen as we
have ever seen, and it certainly be-
came rotten, difference without a
distinction. But there is this point
about the whole green fruit matter
1t is poisonous to the orange growing |
industry. Whenever the would-be |
green fruit law breakers can get |
around that self-evident fact they can
proclaim an antidote for the poison,
never bcfore.-Orlando County Citi

KANSAS HEALTH OFFICER
Says Green Oranges Are Harmful and
Unfit for Food.

DR.. S. ]. Crumbine of the Kansas
Health Board issued the following or
der to the pure food inspector of that
state:
THE season of the year has arrived
when it may be expected that green
oranges will be offered on the mar
kets. Competition between the Flori-
da and California growers to first sup
ply the trade has led to the practice
of cutting the oranges green, shipping
to distributing points where they are
put in warm rooms and steamed,
which turns them a golden or ripe
color, when they are offered for sale
to the local dealers and through them
to the unsuspecting public. Such pro,
cessed oranges are unfit for food, as
they often create acute stomach or
bowel disturbances, which sometimes
are of a serious character. The flavor
is poor and the pulp fiber soon be-
comes woody and dry. The depart
ment believes the sale of such prod
ucts is prohibited under the Kansas
food and drug law and will contest
the sale or Offering of such for sale
in this state.

While the Florida Citrus Exchange
may have been over-zealous in its en-
deavor to prevent the marketing of
green and immature fruit, there is no
reason to doubt the wisdom of the
crusade. Any true Floridian who has
bene north in the early winter months
knows that the fruit shipped from
Florida in September and October ar
rived in a condition unfit for the table
He knows that he would not eat 1t
himself, and that he tried to prevent
his children from eating it. He knows
that unripe oranges will give one diar.

will give one collie. All unripe fruit
is not only unfit to eat, but is danger

ripe fruit is injurious to the trade
