EveEything depends on what the
weather will do during the next

there are any heavy rains In the
Ksw watershed the river may rise
AGAIN. But If today and tomorrow

Considerable alarm was caused re-
Gently in certain sections of the state
by what was thought to be new CT
trus disease. Several growers in
Polk county reported a splotching, dy-
ing and evident fungous injury of
leaves and twigs. H. E. Stevens,
plant pathologist to the University
of Florida Experiment Station exam
ined some of the affected trees, AMI
decided that lightning, followed by
an infestation of certain saprophy
tic fungi, was the cause of the
trouble.
In every case he was able to locate
a tree which had evidently been
struck and within a radius of sever
al feet to $50 feet twigs and branches
of other trees showed peculiar gray
ish or yellowish splotching. The old
err injuries had caused drying and
shrinkage of the tissues. 1t is evil
dent from the peculiar injury that the
bolt had split into fragments.
At Lakeland, Mr.. Stevens found
one case where trees four ~ five years
old from planting had been injured
Az w lUIGI maven lIelG we're INO IT,
cent and two Old cases in one grove;
at Faines City two recent cases in
Ginerent groves; at Lake Alfred two
cases each in a different grove. At
Winter Haven an injured tree had
been removed and destroyed in Janu-
airy. Several trees around this place
which had developed the characters
tic marking had been left. There has
been no spread of the injury to addi-
tional trees, which proved further to
Mr.. Stevens that the trouble was
caused by lightning. If the injury
were due to a disease, it would proba-
bly, have spread by this time.
1t is likely that the injury is not
noticeable until the fungi enter, sew,
eral days after the bolt has struck
The trouble is not serious for the

FLORIDA CITRUS CROP.
For 1856 Estimated at
100000 Boxes Fruit
is High Grade.

The New York Packer of Saturday
last makes the following estimate of
the Florida citrus crop for the COM
ing season.:
The Florida citrus crop for the sea-
son 1915-16 is estimated at 100000
boxes. The estimate is based on re-
ports from growers and shippers who
are located at various points in the
state and who have assisted The
Packer with authentic information on
the subject. These estimates place
the orange crop at about 10 per cent
and the grapefruit crop 40 per cent
short of last season.
The citrus fruit shipments last year
were 1856 cars of grapefruit and 49,
479 cars of oranges. There were
about 100000 boxes of grapefruit
and tangerines and 100000 boxes of
oranges, totaling about 100000
boxes of citrus fruit. The Packers
estimate of crop at the beginning of
the season was 100000 boxes.
The total movement of vegetables,
strawberries, cantaloupes and melons
last season was 17,422 cars, and cit
rus fruit 26,435 cars, making 1857
cars of fruit and vegetables which
We're shipped from the state compared
to $4,000 cars shipped the previous
season.

shipped out of the state during the
or five SEASONS ic &C follows.

The citrus fruit crop this season
will be later than usual as the fruit
has been a little slower in coming
to maturity and the right color. The
crop is a good one and will run to the
larger sizes. The reports from grow
ers and shippers in different sections
of the state are very fattering as to
quality. This no doubt is the result
of better kept groves and almost the
complete eradication of the white fly.
There have been showers during Sep
TENDER and the cool nights will mate
rally help to bring the fruit to matu-
ritv.
The first shipment of Parson
Browns probably will move about Oc-
tober Is as the drought during the
summer months set the crop back
from ten days to two weeks, but the
healthful conditions and good care
given the orange groves throughout
the state will materially help the size
of the fruit.

SOClETYS TROUBLES
ARE AIRED IN COURT
Two Factions i'm Church Society Split,
Question as TO Payment
of Claim.

Another aftermath of the trouble
occurring with the installation Of Fr.
StanislauS Gruza as pastor Of St
Cashiers parish in November, 1914,
appeared Wednesday when the case of
Helen Woltman VS.. Jan III. Building
and Loan Co. was begun. Through
an interpleader the building and loan
company was allowed to pay the
money involved amounting to $500
into the court.
The case deals with the disruption
of the Holy Rosary society during
November, 1914, when one faction
withdrew and formed a serpate organ
izatiOn. The Holy Rosary maintains
a sick benefit fund
Helen Woltman, secretary Of the
one faction, charges that the money
in the loan company should be paid
to her. The other faction charges the
same things. Both organizations
sought TO withdraw the money from
the loan company, whereupOn the in
stitutiOn filed its interpleader reliev-
ing itself Of liability.
Gertrude Smiegelski, president Of
the original" organization, which
withdrew from Witucki hall, where
the meetings were held, TO the school
building where they now hold meet
ings was on the witness stand We'd
nesday morning. Frances Orzydysz is
named in the complaint as treasurer
of the new organization.
The court room began to fill with
interested parties shortly before the
trial of the case was begun. Seventy
five women either spectators or in
terested parties in the action were
present. The cause is being heard be-
fore a jury.
Joseph Wypzynski and Henry A.
Steis represent the original" faction,
while George Kurtz is appearing for
Helen Woltman, treasurer of the
new organization, and Atty. Grescz
is counsel for the banking institution.
