the local agent for his incubators
Mr.. Schultes told the Star man some
thing that is hard to believe, but he
stated that he obtained his informa-

ment statistics. The state of Flor
ida exported $24 900 900 and some
odd hundredths of thousands of cit
rus fruits last year, and imported
something over twenty-five million
dollars worth of poultry and eggs.
This brings up the idea that, with
one of the best poultry states In the
fUnion, where the industry can be
carried on with profit any month in
the year, we are importing this vast
amount of poultry products annually
besides an that we raise and use
within our own borders
