No doubt many groves and young
trees on low lands are killed. Public
" fruit men are hoping to save por-
ton of the crop, but privately they adj
NIT that the freeze of SO in Florida
has been duplicated in California.
Time only can tell.
Fullerton-With the mercury at p
degrees here for eight hours Monday
night, following the severe cold OF
Sunday night, some growers believe
only so per cent. of the crop is dam
aged. Others put the damage far
above this. Vegetables suffered heav-
lily. Walnut trees may be injured.
Orange-Temperature in the west
ern part of this state ranged from Is
to % degrees. All fruit in this dis
trict is frozen. IN the frostless sec
ton, so-called, some fruit will be saw
ed. Vegetables are badly damaged.
Colton-Injury to the fruit here is
universal, and damage heavy on ac-
count of high winds; smudging prov
ed useless. 1t is believed here that
thick skinned and half ripe fruit may
be saved by favorable weather.
Ontario-The lemon crop here is a
total loss. Monday night the mercury
dropped to 10, with some reports low
er. Orange crop is all frozen, but the
battle waged with smudge pots may
save some of the fruit if weather is
favorable. Total loss here will run
over 100000.
Santa Ana-From 70 to 80 per cent.
of Valencias, Navels and lemons are
frozen, with thermometer down to 10
degrees. Damage to vegetables is
heavy. The famous Santa Ana wind
may be the cause of saving considera-
BILE fruit. Much nursery stock is
gone.
Smeltzer-The celery crop already
damaged from former cold weather
was about finished Sunday and Mon
day night. Private reports say celery
is all gone but the heart. With favor
able weather, growers may cut some
later, running 10 and Y to a crate,
instead of and Z. The balance of
the crop will probably be third grade.

The parcel post makes a mail order
center of every town and city in the
United States. 1t confers no advan-
tage of one city over another The
merchant who looks to the "early
bird" for an example will be the one
who will succeed in building up a big
trade. The government has provided
him with cheap rates, and the
newspapers will be the vehicle
through which to advertise his wares
and scoop in the shekels. 1t will be
the merchant with the energy, enter
prise and hustle that will use these
two potential nstrumentalities- the
parcel post and the newspapers
to build up a fortune 1t is an oppor-
tunity never before presented to the
hustling, wide-awake merchant.

CALIFORNIA; misfortune is Florida S
opportunity. Thousands will visit
Florida who otherwise would have
gone to California, so we want to
show our resources off to the very
best advantage. The orange, as an
example, is indigenous to the soil of
Florida. In weight and flavor it is
naturally superior to the California
grown variety, and the climatic con
ditions are at least equal to those of
California, and, as the price of lands
is very much lower, Florida ought to
secure many new settlers. All the
conditions of Florida point upward
and onward, so the man who invests
in Florida real estate at present pric-
es, whether in town or country, can
scarcely make a mistake.

REAL ESTATE MEN ORGANIZE TO
BOOST OCALA

About a dozen of the leading real
estate dealers of the city met at the
office of Mr.. D. S. Woodrow Tuesday
evening and organized the Ocala Real
Estate Exchange. The following of
ficers were elected for the year: Pres
ident, D. S. Woodrow; vice president,
Ed Carmichael; secretary, R. c. Nun
caster; treasurer, F. w. Ditto. The
prime object of the organization is TO
boost Ocala, and when a crowd of cit
liens such as compose this body get
together on a proposition it is safe to
predict thta there will be something
doing at an early date. Another
meeting will be held tonight, and
plans for work will be discussed.

Floridians ought to rejaice and be
glad. Up to the present moment we
have had the most open and delight
full weather known to have been re-
corded in the history of the state, and
the future is begirt with bright and
luminous skies. Indeed, we do not
remember when there was ever be-
fore such a rich rainbow of promise.
How is it elsewhere? Along the Ohio
and Cumberland rivers thousands of
people have been rendered homeless,
and out in California the orange and
lemon groves have been frozen stiff,
and the owners are up against the
same hard proposition as when the or
ange groves of this state were swept
out of existence. Let US be thankful
and make the best of our opportuni-
ties.

FLORIDA MAN PREsIDEs

The southern commercial congress
will send abroad, April 26th next, a
commission for the purpose of study
ing European agricultural finance.
The International Institute of Agri-
culture. at Rome, Italy, has appoint
ed a commission to assist the Amer
lean commission in its Investigations,
including some of the most eminent
men of that country.
Similar committees are now being
formed in other European countries,
where the American commission will
receive governmental courtesies.
The American commission, number
ing more than 100 persons, including
two delegates from each state, will
be the largest representative body OF
Americans that has visited Europe in
an official capacity. 1t will sail from
New York on the Cunard liner Saxo-
MIA April 26, and after spending three
months visiting practically all Euro
pean countries, will leave Queenstown
on the White Star liner Cedric on
July IS, for New York.
Senator Duncan L. Fletcher of
Florida, president of the southern
commercial congress, will be the
chairma nof this commission.
The selection of Senator Fletcher
as the head of such an important mis-
sion is a gratifying honor to Florida.
The subject is one in which Senator
Fletcher has long been interested,
and it was through his efforts that a
plank declaring for such investigation
was inserted in the democratic plat
form.-Tampa Tribune.

thoroughly drain the lots in that vi

making will not only add to the ap-
pearance of the lots but will add to
their sanitary conditions. Bragg
