FLORIDA CITRUS EXCHANGE
WILL CONTINUE BUSINESS.
Conference of Citrus Fruit Growers at
Tampa Voted Unanimous APP
proval Of Organization.

Tampa.-The annual convention OF
the Florida Citrus Exchange was held
here at the Tampa Bay Casino. 1t
was planned to hold two days SEES
sion, but the business before the SEES
sion was handled with such dispatch
that it was possible to conclude the
session in one day.
The convention was the most large
ly attended gathering of citrus fruit
growers ever held in Florida. More
than FIVE hundred growers, represent
ing every portion of the orange belt,
East Coast, West Coast and middle
and South Florida, attended.
1t was announced some time ago
that this convention would decide
whether or not the. Citrus Exchange
should continue in existence. The
large attendance was unanimous for
its continuance, and it is believed
more fruit will be pledged the ex-
change this year than in any of the
three years of its history,
William c. Temple, general mana
ger of the exchange, was the main
speaker. He outlined the history of
the exchange from its inception three
years ago. He, showed that while
the exchange had been entirely sue
cessful in its mission of raising the
market price of fruit it had not been
a successful business venture, be-
cause of the failure of growers or a
large proportion of them to ship their
fruit through the exchange. From %
per cent. of the total crop, as shipped
through the exchange the first year
of its existence, the second year saw
but 10 per cent, the third year II per
cent. and the exchange in debt. That
ii was impossible to go on in that
wav. that with the greatest citrus
crop Florida has ever had coming on
il behooved the growers to get togeth
er. His address was laudly applaud
ed, Congressman A. o. Stanley OF
Kentucky told the assemblage of the
experience of the Kentucky tobacco
growers with the tobacco trust. How
nrices were forced to nearly nothing
and how the growers finally protected
their interest and again placed the
industry on a paying basis. He urged
the citrus growers to be as wise anc
stand by the exchange.
State Chemist R. e. Rose defended
the attitude of the agricultural de
partment of the state, which had beer
severely criticised for not enforcing
the law against shipment of imma
ture fruit He said the department
had done everything that lay in hii
province He said shipment of greer
fruit should be discouraged and en-
dorsed the exchange as a blessing Il
citrus fruit men.
IL. Haslett of Chicago, who nan
dies much of the exchanges fruit a
that point, said the stamp OF the Flor
ida Citrus Exchange on a box OF frul
was accepted as insuring high stand
ard and made it possible to get thu
hest price of the market.
Others who made addresses, all o
them favorable to the exchange, wer'
