URGE COTTON TO REPLACE JUTE
Tampa Board OF Trade Start MOVE
ment For Cotton Basgins In
Florida

Tampa.-The Tampa board OF trade
is urging all of its members and the
people of this section generally to show
their interest in the movement to re-
lieve the cotton growers and manutac-
turers of using cotton bags instead OF
jute bags to cover shipments of ma
terial. The resolution passed by the
board and being sent broadcast
through this territory reads:
Whereas, it has been clear from the
first that the consumption of cotton
is the only real key to the cotton sit
uation at this time; and,
Whereas, the using of cotton in all
forms possible in the place Of other
materials will make demand for the
product and therefore advance the
price and reduce the amount now held
on hand; and,
Whereas, we feel that any help afford
ed the cotton growers directly or in,
directly will be of benefit to the entire
country, therefore be it
Resolved, by the board of governors
of the Tampa board of trade in regular
meeting assembled, That we urge and
request that all users Of heavy bags
for sacking purposes use cotton bags;
and also ask the dealers from whom
they buy products already sacked that
they also use cotton bags wherever
possible.

DEMONSTRATORS ARE BUSY.
Attention Given to Hog Cholera Sc
rum incubation In The Counties

Gainesville. The demonstration
work is progressing very satisfacto-
rily in the state of Florida. The last
counties to be brought into the ranks
were Jefferson, Taylor, Clay and Cit
rus. Agents have been appointed In
them all with the exception OF Citrus,
to which a man is expected to be ap-
pointed in the course of few weeks.
The agents in. this work have been
very successful in the work OF hog
cholera serum incubation, particular
lv so in the eastern part Of the state,
Alachua county being one of the coun-
ties in which the most work has been
done. Up to date upward of 1000
head have been inoculated in this
county since the first of May.
The time of the year is now at hand
when the agents are doing consider
able work awarding prizes in the
Boys Corn club work, but owing to
the very dry weather prevailing IN
spring and early summer, the number
of boys who have completed the work
is not as large as expected, but on
the whole the boys have done very
satisfactory work, particularly so IN
the counties where the agents have
been able to give them close instruc'
ton and strict supervision.

The Fruit Market.

Orange growers should not ge
scared at the efforts of buyers anc
commission men to "bear" the orange
market. That is something that hap
pens every year. The market fol
Florida oranges and grapefruit is
low, but this is due to heavy ship
ments of green fruit. The New York
Packer of last week said:
"The effect of green grapefruit
shipments have been felt this week
throughout the state as orders are
not coming in as freely anticipated
and as a consequence the etnire indus
try has suffered a reaction in prices.
Receivers are not coming back for a
second order if the first Shipments
fail to give satisfaction"
Up to Friday last a total of SS9
car loads of Florida grapefruit had
left the state. This represents more
than 265,000 crates. Most of it was
green, SO green to be wholly lacking
in the fine flavor which has made
Florida grapefruit famous over the
country. Of course it is disappoint-
ing.
MT. Il. II. w lllldHlo VI IHlo Sity says
that this class fruit has ruined the
market and that it will take some
time to get it back to normal. People
are going to buy some of it and be-
come disguised. He believes that
when the fruit has ripened on the
trees, and has secured it's flavor that
the market will improve, and not be-
fore. Mr.. Williams represents the
John Mccormick packing house here,
and recent letter from Mccormick,
Hubbs & Co., urges him to warn local
growers against shipments of unripe
fruit.
That the market will recover when
good fruit begins to go forward seems
to be the impression of the larger
growers. They take little stock in
the efforts of buyers and commission
house representatives who call here
to spread the impression that the COM
ing winter is to be season of low
prices. These men cite the European
war and the consequent shutting down
of manufacturing enterprises as one
reason for predicting an era of low
prices. They forget that business
conditions throughout the country are
reviving; that vast numbers of tour
lists who usually spend the winter in
Europe will this winter stay at home
and eat American grown fruit. /
One thing is certain, and that, if
these buyers persist in their efforts
to "bear" the market, they will get
little fruit in this or other sections of
the state. They forget that Crescent.
City is not this year dependent on
commission houses, but that there is
a local organization of The Florida
Citrus Exchange, an organization of
growers designed to market the citrus
crop of Florida indepedent Of the com
mission men, and that unless these
men are disposed to play
fair, the growers here will go into
the Exchange.
Don't ship green fruit
Don't sell on the trees or in bulk
for a less average price than in form
er years.
Don't lose your head.

The annual meeting of the Crescent
City board of trade will be held at
the auditorium next Monday evening,
November I'd, at 1880 o'clock. In
calling this meeting, President Till
inghast adds: Every white resident of
Crescent City is invited and URGED
to Join the organization; that several
members are in arrears for the clos
ing years dues and their contributions
are needed to meet expenses; that a
general attendance is much desired at
the annual meeting; that any person
who has the welfare of Crescent City
at heart will confer a favor by telling
in open meeting how its interests can
be promoted.
1t should be remembered also that
at this meeting the officers for the en-
suing year are to be elected. The
Crescent City board of trade is not an
exacting body in its requirements. 1t
holds only periodical meetings and is
not trying to work any graft or pro
mote private interests. The feeling
is that there is need of maintaining
some sort of commercial organization
"a central body to which can be re
ferred any and all matters affecting
the towns interests. On several oc-
casions the board has materially as
sisted in work for the benefit of the
place. The annual dues are nominal
and there has never been call for
extra money or assessments. Don't
forget this meeting. Be sure and at
tend.

DISTRICT MEETING OF X. OF p.
Every Lodge In The District But One
Was Represented.

Tallahassee.-One of the most
pleasant as we'll as profitable dis
trict meetings ever held in Tallahas-
see was pulled off in the Castle hall
if Cicero lodge, No. l, Knights OF
Pythias. Every lodge in the district
but one was well represented in this
meeting and the whOle-souled Pyth-
ian spirit exhibited on this occasion
was something not to be soon for
gotten.
By special request of the chancel-
lor commander, A H. Ginsberg, Past
Chancellor L. A. Perkins was asked
to assume the chair. After calling
the roll and welcoming the visiting
Knights it was unanimously agreed
that the order of business be dis
pensed with temporarily and the
lodge proceed at once to rank work
A class of five pages was reported
to be in waiting for the rank of es-
ouire, were introduced and instructed
very impressively. This work was
directed by Knight ]. H. Williams
of Monticello, who is probably the
best posted Pythian in the entire
south. from the fact that he is thor
oughly conversant with every part
of the ritual form cover to cover. As
soon as the lodge had conferred this
rank on the pages the floor WORK
was then turned over to an amplified
team from Monticello, who tool
charge of the squires and conferred
upon them the rank of Knight in
manner that reflects credit upoI

honor to the order.

Mr.. E. H. Williams,
Cracnapt Civ Fla

Mr.. +. ii. Williams,
Crescent City, Fla.
Dear SIR
Following your request for post
ings as to the general market on
grapefruit, we might state that this
week just closing has been most pc
culiar one, aside from being very un-
satisfactory.
In the first place, the unusually
heavy receipts which probably repre-
scented nearly 100 cars from all sec
tons, with the larger part of it in
green condition, was in the main the
cause for the decided decline in prices,
with Floridas selling from $1.00 to
$3.50 per box, the latter prices We're
for few lots in small quantities of
fine high colored fruit.
The general range of Floridas,
which was more or less green was
from $3.50 to $500, whereas Cubans
on account of their better color, sold
with a range from $500 to $500, and
Porto Ricos, from $1.5O to 1925.
The trade on the street and out of
town has been extremely limited and
averse to purchasing any fruit in
!
! of prices. and the hot rooms availa-
bile for ripening are full of green
fruit. Such a condition had to come,
and we REGRET that those shipping
cannot see their mistake, which pre-
vious wears on similar shipments
have always taught them.
This condition we hore viii soon
Ichar~o. ord as fruit commences to
come in better matured and of better
color. which naturally will have bet
ter eating qualities. Il change then to
a fair range Of prices can be expected.
We were diSaprOinted in the gener-
al selling on local receintS and the
lack of out of town demand which aS
we have stated above. is attributed
only to the QUALITY and green condi-
ton of fruit arriving.
As to oranges, there has been only
one or two cars of Floridas and these
being so green, were plaCed under
heat for coloring, and presume will he
offered during the coming weel'
What Porto Ricos came in of gooc
color sold at very fair prices, anC
California oranges are holding W
= very well.
We are sure these low prices vii
bring about check in Floridas, whicl
I will help cause the market to get int
better nositiou.
5 We will keen you posted as regu
u larlv as rossible and lust as soon a
o YOU feel it essential to send YOU nigh
: letter, we will he pleased to do so, an
