Heavy Shipments
OF Vegetables
From Florida

Jacksonville, June Good
prices in northern markets are caus-
ing heavy shipments Of mixed vege-
tables to go forward to eastern and
northern markets within the past
few weeks, reports showing that no
less than LIT cars OF truck passed
through Jacksonville during the past
week. This movement was made up
as follows: Beans and mixed, 105
cars; tomatoes, IS cars; celery, 1

S33 cars; Cantaloupes, 23 cars.
Last week was very active in the
shipping of pineapples from the east
coast section, around ten acres day
being the average. Good prices pre-
vailed.
This week commenced the train
load shipping of melons from SUI
wannee county, a movement Of thir-
teen cars going forward for distribu-
tion to the different markets.
Ten solid cars of peppers were
shipped from Alachua county and
the growers are realizing as much as
$1.45 per crate for them.
Six cars of sweet corn shipped last
week to New York and Boston we're
among the contribution of Florida's
truckers in and around Starke. This
is quite an industry in our neighbor-
ing county Of Bradford.
1t will be interesting to know that
since the season began forty thou
sand six hundred and eight carloads
fof Florida products have been
shipped out of the State to points in
the North and East These ship
ments included grapefruit, oranges,
mixed vegetables, lettuce, pineap-
pies, tomatoes, celery, strawberries,
potatoes, watermelons and canta-
loupes.
Florida certainly does her fall
quota in helping to feed the people
of this great nation and according
TO authentii statistics this State is
right on the job when It comes to
being first in the markets with early
vegetables and fruits.

Winter Haven, town on the Coast
Line.
Swamp land largely comprises the
area to be reclaimed. It is made wet
by rain which falls directly upon It
and by seepage from the surround
ing region which consists of Low
hills interspersed with numerous
lakes, forming one of the most at
tractive citrus regions Of the state.
The lakes having no outlet protect
the district to be reclaimed from
surface inflow. The plan OF reclama-
tion consists of a main canal
through the central part of the dis
trict twenty-four miles long, begin
ming with an eight-foot bottom and
ending with fifty-foot bottom, the
entire line having fall of twenty
seven feet. The southern part of the
district is drained by a ditch with
twenty-foot bottom which passes
through a lake one square mile In
area. The lake will be utilized as a
reservoir for controlling the flood
flow from that part OF the district.
A system OF branch and lateral
bitches provides outlets for the
drainage of each 40 acres. The to-
tai length of bitches of all sizes is
142 miles, requiring an estimated
excavation of 2,432,74S cubic yards.
The lands of the district are Sc
curity for the bonds which have
been sold to cover the expense OF
the work. About 10000 acres have
been assessed at rates varying from
81 to $12 an acre. according to the
amount of benefits the land will re-
ceive, the average amount being
about s6.40 per acre.
The swamp land is now valued at
about $40 per acre, while some
land included in the district is val
ued at SIS. When completed the
land will be devoted to grain, for
age. cane and truck crops. thus sup
plementing the production of the
, lands surrounding the district
which are given up entirely to the
growing of citrus fruits.

ing Co. in charge Of the engineer

tion-wide reputation. for reclama-
tion work. The concern has re-
claimed immense districts from the
overflow waters OF the Mississippi

ANSWER HOURLY
EXPECTED AT
WASHINGTON
WAR DEPARTMENT ALSO WAIT
ING WITH GREAT INTEREST
CAPT. MOREY'S OFFICIAL AC-
COUNT OF THE CARRIZAL AF.
FAIR, AS FIRST AMERICAN
VERSION
(By Associated Press. }

Washington, June 26. 6.-War be-
tween the United States and Mexico
depends upon the formal declaration
of policy by Carranza in response to
the note Secretary Lansing tele-
graphed Mexico yesterday. Carran-
za's answer is expected hourly The
immediate release of the American
cavalry captured at Carrizal will be
insisted upon. The officials explain,
however, that the course of the
United States will be determined
largely by Carranza's final statement
of his intentions toward the Ameri-
can expedition.
The war department at noon had
not received any letter from Captain
Morey giving the first American ver-
son of the Carrizal fighting. Captain
Morey is safe in one of Pershing's
corps. His complete report is expect
ed soon. The published text this
letter is construed as indicating that
the Americans were partly RESPONSE
BILE for the clash. The official ac-
count from Captain Morey, however,
will be the basis of Judgment rather
than the hurried note written by a
man expecting death.
Capt. Morey, who was wounded,
and it was thought left to die in the
desert wrote IN account Of the Car
RIAL fight addressed to his immedi-
ate superior officer, and this account
would place some of the responsible
ity for hostilities upon the Ameri-
cans. The letter was written while
hiding in a hole in the desert, and
while he was probably partially de
lirious from weakness and thirst. Ht
was reported dead, but later news IL
that he was rescued and the depart
ment is keenly interested in his &C
count as being the first authenti'
American version of the affair.
The Mexican note saying tina
Carranza personally directed Ire
vino to resist the movement OF tn
American troops constitutes the rea
issue. The Washington government
construes this as a final avowal o
deliberate hostile action. 1t demand
that Carranza state through diplo
matte channels IL this is his purpose
The chairmen of the foreign af
fairs committees informed Congress
Of adj phases of the situation. Latin
American diplomats continue thei
efforts toward mediation. Word ha
been received that the note reaches
Mexico City last night.
