state official of Florida, while in Wash

servable first to me when l discovered
that although Florida has as fine q
crop of citrus fruits on hand this year
as ever, there is not the large demand
for 1t we expected. 1t is noticeable,
also, that the American people are not
eating as much beef as they did few
years ago. The steadily diminishing
stock Of beef cattle throughout the
country and the consequent climbing
of the prices. Of course, has had its
effect. and 1t was inevitable that the
price would reach a point where the
housewife would rebel.

generally these animals are worth less
than when they were purchased. Large
shipments of beef from Argentina and
shipments of beef and mutton from
Australia have reached our markets

sale the price locally has fallen, but
