LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Continued from last meek

By this time my tho'ts revertto Arcadia,
the county seat of Dasota county. having in
land which cannot boast of over 1900 inhab-
tants, yet pays an automobile tax on over
seventy cars, and being situated within mile
of Peace river, noted for the many battles
with the Indians, and is one of the richest
counties of the State, capable of growing any
thing in theline of citrus fruits, from guam
quat to grape fruit as large as mans
head, and sweet potatoes that weigh "a lbs.
with four to weigh over go lbs, and once plant
ed always planted. Such are the generous
gifts here and yet some of this land is worth
less for any purpose only to build on. but am
told that comparatively small areas are SO
handicapped. but must say it is the only place
in Florida where grass covers the face of the
earth wheresoever the eye rests and the stock
grazes all winter and vegetables never cease.
This is the belt of the famous Peace river
oranges on the east, which are the largest It
is here one can see the great packing indus
tries of Florida. In the season, from four to
six cars Of oranges are daily sent from this
place branded the famous Peace River Do
you ever see them in our markets. Any box
OF oranges not in plain labels or wrappers are
may not know this. Certainly it must figure
to some extent from the care manifest not to
brand the box or wrappers of the culls, and
in many sections nothing is branded, of which
be shy. On one of my trips to Peace River we
stopped at grove to buy some fruit and the
lady being an invalid invited us to go and get
what we wanted. which was very delicate
procedure, but by request she sent little girl
who took us to the choicest varieties and after
we had partaken of all we could hold inside
and out, we wentto the house to pay the bill.
When heard the lady say. II never in my
life sold an orange from my grove to eat"
immediately arose to my feet and entered the
hall saying, 4 must intrude my presence If
you will allow me to clasp the hand of one in
whose breast beats SO generous heart it will
afford me lifelong remembrance" This is
the evidence of the true southern hospitality.
Really am to the extent of my powers of
comprehension imbued with the destinations
which lie at the foot Of man in Florida Only
the anniversaries Of births and marriages die
tates to me that withhold my hand. No
place on the face of the earth has greater pos
sibilities. The natural resources Of the coun-
try and climate, tho frost greeted the early
riser this morning, tends to stimulate the
languid steps of those who have passed the
goal of three score and ten. meet many
from the far East or West who owe to
Florida lease of from twenty to fifty years on
their lives by coming here. We're my hands
washed clean of the soil of Cecil at this late
day, would turn my back upon the setting
sun, and unlike Lots wife, never look back.

and says that the appointment Of a tenn
perance committee chairman interested in
the liquor traffic to hold up the local
option bill in order to give the opposition
time to work against it was simply repay-
ing the liquor interests for services
rendered.
The League says that while the Mayor
has kept out of sight his is the real infiu-
ence behind the opposition to the bill and

quired it as the price of some political
deal, just as he dictated the selection Of
MI. Triple as Speaker.
Mr.. Anderson charges that if The Mayor
can succeed in defeating the local option
bill without attracting attention to himself
the liquor interests will hnance his cam
paign for the Democratic nomination for
Vice-President in the coming National
Convention, and challenges the Mayor, If
these things are not true, to prove it by
declaring for the bill.
The Mayor in an interview when shown

erroneous and Incorporate, but did not
deny that he is against the bill and that
his friends are opposing it with his
approval.
The League has also published state

showing that the so-called meeting of the
trades bodies against local option was
merely mass meeting Of portion of the
individual members Of such bodies
initiated by the opponents of local option.

TO GROW OWN HOPS
Brewery Association Buys Large
Tracts and Begins Work.
Planting Now Under way-Aim to
Avert Repetition of High
Prices of 1911 Crop.

Salem, Or.-Large Eastern brew
ers, feeling the necessity of securing
foothold in Pacific Coast hopyards,
have pooled interests to gain control
Of heavy acreage in Oregon and Cali
fornia for their own benefit. This an
nouncement was made in statement
given out here by Theodore Elder,
general superintendent for E. Clemens
Horst company, who is now in this
city. 1t is planned by the brewers to
plant /, 300 acres Of hops this year.
Half million dollars has been ap-
propriated for the purpose and from
200 to $50 acres will be set to hops
in Oregon fields Appraisals have
been completed
lowing to the high price of hops of
the 1911 CROP" said Mr. Eder, "sbout
25 large Eastern brewers, forming the
nucleus of the United States Brewers
association, approached E. C. Horst,
president of the E. Clemens Horst
company, with the idea of taking over
a considerable number of shares in
their extensive hopgrowing interests
on the Pacific Coast, with the special
proviso that the money put up by the
brewers be at once used to plant at
least l, 300 acres of new hops in the
spring of 1872
1.-The American appraisal company,
of Milwaukee, was selected to value
the old properties, which consist of
over $500 acres of hops located in
practically every hopgrowing district
in Oregon and California
"All of the $500, 900 subscribed by
the brewers is being used to put in
new yards this spring The acreage
to be planted is about as follows:
"Seven hundred acres at Del Paso,
200 acres at Wheatland, $50 acres at
Tehama, 100 acres at Consumme,
making a total of l, $50 acres in Cali
fornia-
In addition, some 200 to ESQ acres
of virgin soil is to be planted in our
Oregon yards, where the Krebs broth
ers and H. d. Landon now have three
large donkey engines and over 200
men at work clearing land for that
purpose
The 1,150 acres to be planted il
California will all be irrigated anc
will easily yield a ton an acre this
coming year, because the ground ha!
been fertilized and two-thirds of it il
being planted with nursery roots

should yield fairly well, being all oil

Hop planting is already under wa.
in California, over $50 acres having
been set out and the entire $50 acre
will be planted before March l, s.
that maximum results will be realize'
in 1912. The E. Clemens Horst com
pany will harvest over 5000 bales o.
