CITRUS GROWERS TO
MEET At EUSTIS
Meeting to Be Held on May 22nd
Under Auspices OF Citrus
Exchange

Tampa, Fla, May l3,-Ihe big
general meeting OF the citrus
growers OF the State which will
be held at Eustis on May p, is for
the purpose OF discussing the
best methods OF packing and
marketing the orange and grape
fruit crop OF the State. In view
of the present prospects for an
unusually large production, it
will be more than ever impor-
tant to the growers that their
fruit is placed on the market
properly during the coming fall
and winter.
While the meeting has been
called by the Florida Citrus Ex-
change, it will be open to every
grower and very cordial lnvl-
tation has been extended to fruit
men who are not affiliated with
the organization. Eustis was Sc
lectcd for the event because Of its
central location and OF the very
fine packing house which was
erected there last year, perhaps
the best equipped and most com
llete house in the State.
Business Manager Jones, OF
the Citrus Exchange, today an
nounced the program for the oc-
casion, There will be addresses
Of welcome by | n. Kennedy,
the MAYOR Of Eustis, and Z. l..
ferran, president OF t he local
board OF trade. Other addresses

rus industry from the viewpoint

NOT FOR THE PLUMP WOMAN
Neither Present Nor Prospective
Styles Afford Much Comfort 70
Those Of Stout Figure.

Stout women, plump women, fat
women-all of them have bewailed
their fate during the reign Of the
sheath skirt. They have even taken
to eating grapefruit or orange juice
instead of breakfast. But, with a sigh
of relief, they have hailed the news
that full skirts are coming and have
added piece of toast to their daily
rations.

that the coming silhouette is suitable
only to the very slim woman!

DESSERT NEEDS STUDY
IMPORTANT AT EITHER FohmAS
OR FAMILY DINNER
Must Of Necessity Be Attractive IN
Appearance to Be Thoroughly en-
loved, and Its Food Value is
Also to Be Considered.

It is considered bad taste "hen
dining to show the least concern IN
regard to the courses following inc
one being served, yet few people
show courage enough sometimes -
ask what the dessert may be. one
college girl used to ask the maid u
tell her whenever mince pie was TO
be served
This girl understood the food value
of that piece of mince pie ana sne
knew IL she wished to partake OF II
she must curtail the courses preceo-
ing. An ordinary piece OF mince pie
is equal in food value to piece OF
roast beef a medium-sized potato anu
a slice of bread, with liberal amount
Of butter.
There are two extremes: Desserts
far too heavy unless their real food
value Is known and the rest OF the
meal is planned accordingly, and des-
serts too light to satisfy the hunger
unless a sufficient supply of other
things be eaten. What place, then,
have desserts in the diet? Do they
serve purpose or are they simply
waste efforts?
Perhaps there Is no portion OF the
meal which requires more time, more
thought in planning and more care In
preparation than the dessert An
ideal dessert must be well favored
and attractive in appearance II 1t IS
to be above criticism. The appetite
is to some extent appeased and hence
appearance and flavor are means OF
tickling the palate" A piece OF
meat may be practically ruined In
cooking and yet be eaten-wlth dis
appointment, perhaps; but a poorly
prepared dessert will be left I'M
touched. A dessert failing In its es-
sential quality, its appeal to the APP
petite, can be considered a waste of
effort always.
The one essential which makes a
dessert product well worth the
time, care, thought and actual cost
or makes It simply waste effort
from every standpoint, is the knowl.
edge of It's true food value, then
making it serve its purpose in that
respect.
A housekeeper should have little
table Of desserts carefully classified
for constant reference or written out
In tabular form, arranging her stock
of successful desserts into three
classes, perhaps, as heavy, medium
and light. Then she should consider
whether the dinner she Is planning Is
high In food value or low and supply
the kind of dessert that will make q
well-balanced meal The following
table will illustrate such classified
ton:
Heavy Desserts-Pies cakes ant
cookies, suet puddings, rich short
cakes, rich Ice cream preserves
Medium Desserts-Custards ant
soufflues, rice, cornstarch, sage, tapi
oca pudding.
Light Desserts-Speedy and stewet
fruits, plain gelatine Jelly, junkets.

FRUIT WILL POUR GOLD
INTO DELTA GROWERS PURSE

w. H. Emmons, secretary and treas
urer of the Good Roads association
who was here last week from Denver
in the interest of road work, has writ
ten two or three articles reviewing
crop and other conditions on the west
ern slope, and the one on Delta county
appeared in columns of the Rocky
Mountain News last Saturday. From
that article we quote as follows:
Fruit on 10000 acres. cattle by the
hundreds and thousands grazing on
the hills surrounding the valley. to-
gether with the growing products of
the farm lands are today writing pros
perity for Delta county in 1914 IN
large letters. True the word is never
finished until the a. is dotted and the
't" crossed. but friendly spring has
commenced the spelling in such huge
letters that even the pessimist is ready
to admit that nothing can now inter
fere with the completion of the magic
word
Delta county is strictly a farming
and cattle country. In both this sec
tion stands out pre-eminently. The
fruit growers will tell you of how. for
one whole season they had 500 in
gold in the bank here as challelge
TO any county in the state, or the coun-
try. for that matter. that Delta would
excel them all in the amount OF fruit

Oil and Gas Explorations

That the geologist can save to the
practical oil man large sums yearly
in useless drilling is a fact which is
becoming more and more clearly rec
ognized 1t is possible for him to de
termine from rock exposures the loCa-
ton and extent of rock folds, which
seem to constitute the principal con-
dition governing the accumulation Of
oil and gas where they are present in
the region. In most field oil and gas
are found in anticlines or upfolis of
the rocks, so that 1t is obviously bad
practice in testing new field to be
gin by drilling in the downfolds or
synclines, yet this is often done. In
order to point out the most favorable
localities for tests by the drill, and TO
save to the oil men and to the country
at large part at least of the enormous
sums uselessly expended in drilling in
usfavorable locations, the United
States Geological Survey is making in
vestigations of untried territory The
structures outlined in such investiga-
tions are those most favorable in the
area to oil accumulation. OF course.
oil and gas may not be present in the
region; but II they are there, they will
probably be found in these structures.
II the latter are barren, there is little
prospect that oil will be found in the
vicinity.
During the past field season an area
of about $50 square miles in southern
Oklahoma was examined by party in
charge of Carroll II. wegemanu, of the
United States Geological Survey. in CO.
operation with the Oklahoma Geologi-
cal Survey. The area is north of the
Petrolia field of Texas, northeast of
Burkhurnett, and % miles west of the
new Healdton field in Oklahoma which
is at present attracting so much at
tention. 1t lies north of Red River
and east of the region described rs the
Grandfield district in Bulletin 547 of
the United States Geological Survey,
and extends to the Rock Island Rail-
way on the east and north.
