BACK TO OLD SUICIDAL WAY
An Interesting Letter From the Es-
peranza Fruit Company.


Palatka, Fla.-To the Florida
Grower: While | appreciate to. some
degree how desirable it would be to
get the large growers into the Elk
change-what a gain it would be to
control a larger percentage of the
crop, never for an instant conceiv-
ed that such a calamity to the citrus
industry of Florida could occur as
the dissolution of the Exchange.
What does it all mean, anyway? This
season we have been adding to our
acreage on the strength of the Ex-
change. | have advised some OF my
neighbors to do the same, and they
are planning to plant additional trees
on my assurance of what the Elk
change means. With the Exchange
out of business | would consider de-
probation in.value of our grove prop
erty of 25 per cent-a very moderate
estimate of the loss
| have had my feelings toward the
Outside" growers, who SO thoroughly
appreciate the advantages of the EX-
change to them, as well as to the EX-
change members, but as some of the
outsiders are most excellent and re-
spected friend of mine, | have felt
more confusion than resentment. Why
in the name of common sense we do
not control Is per cent. of the fruit |
do not understand. The commission
men used to ship to were honest, l
fully believe, and without the Ex-
change | would go back to them, and
as to that trouble have no kick, but
as to any comparison between the old
haphazard unbusinesslike and suicidal
way of doing our marketing and the
Exchange-well, | though We had
reached the Mecca for which we had
been hoping for so many Yeas. If we
have to quit there will be enough
fond regrets" when it is too late,
lying around loose to buy half the
groves in Florida.
Last season the Esperanza Brand
gained % cents per box over any past
record for prices: this season we will
better this by some 20 cents. With
the extinction of the Exchange we will
look for slump Of at least so cents
to $10O per boX-well it is simply in
conceivable. That is just how we feel
about it. We thought We had found
firm ground under our feet.
If we have to go back to the old
blessed (?) way, We will at least have
you people to thank for an improve
ment in pack, which seems to have
put us up where we can, at least, do
about as well as the "other fellow"
If you have any members who will
shout more heartily and honestly for
the Florida Citrus Exchange than our
selves, we will be pleased to meet
them and shake hands. Sincerely,
ESPERANZA FRUIT CO.,
(Signed) S. G. Warner, Treas.

THEY ARE NOT OF
THE QUITTING KIND
Highland sub-Exchange Proposes to
Continue Even Though the State
Organization WithdraWs.

Tavares, Fla-Florida Citrus EX-
change, Tampa, Fla. - Dear Sirs:
Kindly mail Information at hand on
the Exchange movement to Mr.. John
Lane, Meriden, Conn. He has con-
siderable property at Eustis and l
am trying to get him in.
No one here has any notion of CIV
ing up the ship If the Exchange can
not continue, the Highland Sub-Ex-
change will. Should both go under,
| can speak for the Lake Region Pack
ing Association, which will hold to-
gether and continue the fight. Many
growers here were members of the
original Exchange and then of Mr..
Warns company We are not the
quitting kind.
Very truly yours,

Vigorous cleaning. II is absolutely the
first step In civic Improvement, as the
city is but our larger home, and women
should insist that the beauty and order
|of the home shall be carried out in the
city, as we'll. Cleanliness must come
first, as beauty cannot be grated upon
dirt and disorder. Later will come dill
gent work for several Improvements.
There Is plenty OF room for improve

AN ORANGE EDITORIAL
What the Leavenworth (kans.) Times
Has to Say Anent Florida
Oranges.

Oranges-a good thing to start
breakfast with and nice thing to eat
just before retiring, according to the
habits of many people. Because doc
tors say they are healthy, because
| grocers sell them cheap, because the
housewives have little trouble work
| ing them into any kind of an extra
course and because everybody likes
them, the orange is one of the best
sellers among fruit on the local mar
| ket.
1t probably never has occurred to
many people who eat oranges every
day that there are more than one va
riety of oranges or that they do not
all come from Florida. While it is
true that most of the oranges sold by
the grocers here do come from Cali
fornia, it is also a fact that Florida
furnishes the middle West, whenever
we can get her to do so. The state
Of Florida sends most of her crop to
the Eastern markets and it is only &C.
casionally, as now when the Califor-
mia crop Is not up to par, that the
markets here get Florida to come
through" with some of her fruit, the
best grown in the states.
Oranges from Florida are just like
vegetables from there, far better than
those from California. For instance,
there is the Russell, an orange which
is heavy with juice. The skin is very
thin and little is lost in peeling.
Some Of the Many Varieties.
Herman Witt, the grocer, told of
few of the many varieties of or
anges which are supplied the house
hold here:
From California there are four va
rieties coming in order-navels, from
Southern and Northern California
both, those from the former, the high
lands, being. the finest; then there is
the Seeding which comes later; then
the Mediterranean Sweet which grows
near the rivers and the last crop, the
Late Valencias which has a seed, but
which is very good. In California,
there is no time of the year when
there is not either blossom or fruit
on the tree, the fruit extending from
November through July"
"The Bright and the Golden Russet
from Florida are their two best pro-
ducts. Both have seeds, are heavy
with juice and deliciously sweet. We
were fortunate in getting the Florida
products this year, for the first time
in years past. This was because Of
the unusually poor quality of the Cal
ifornia fruits. The best grapefruit
also comes from Florida, l think, al
though We get little from California.
California, however, supplies us with
the tangerines, the smaller sized or
ange and this year with the kumquat,
the very small sized member of the
orange family. This is eaten, skin
and all. In fact, the skin is the best
part of it. This year they have even
preserved the kumquat."
The reason for the almost uninter-
rupted good crops in Florida, Mr.. Witt
thinks, is because of the sandy soil
being very productive, and, added to
this, the warmth which comes to it
from the Gulf Stream. Florida, Mr..
Witt said, may be in a position to
supply the whole United States with
fruit some day when the land is prop

THE IPSIE DIXIE OF IT
(From The Florida Grower)

Inc FlOTlud blO"Si'J
81 see be the papers they's truble
about thin green froot oranges" said
Mr.. Hennessy to his friend Dooley.
"They do be indeed responded
that person. "They's more than wan
kind ave a green goods man working
the country, but the come-on's are
getin' scarcer livery day
"They say said Mr.. Hennessy,
that all those Kilograms to the big
bugs up north is going to hurt the
Floridy froot; | dunno if this is so?"
when" began the philosopher,
you prevint a man from TWISTING
his good money into bad money, It's
no sign he is goin' to trow down the
reel goods whiniver he can get thin.
They'll be more paple looking for
Floriday froot this year thin liver be-
fore, because they wants to know
moor about what they do be like. The
good folks ev the north have about
forgotten how Floridy orange tastes.
Californy has told thin through the
papers that they have the reel goods
in oranges and bedad they make the
paple behave it,
But they say that whin we hold
back the Florldy froot we run into
the Californy sayson.'
"Bedad, who gave the Callforny
paple the sayson, anyway? IT'S my
experience that that poor divil, the
ultoomate consoomer, will ate oranges
Win they are swate in pGFfiiff,ttf fence Il
oranges whin they Are not swate, and
no man will claim that Californy or
anges are swate in Novimber and De-

well, Timple raised big fuss
anyhow said Mr.. Hennessy.
"Yis,' said Mr. Dooley. "As me
frind Major Florida East Coast Rail-
road Alexander st. Clair Abrams
would say, that's the ipsie dixie ev it.
What's that? 'Tis a fine legal trim,
meaning that's the hell of it. Why
didn't he say so? He did in his iii
CANT East Coast manner"
"Well,' said Mr.. Hennessy, "'tis a
fine word. What is the Majors rela-
ton to the froot business, onyway?"

ley, ID lad, you have the right eX-
prission. His wife's coosin's uncle
