LATE BLOOM MAY
PUT ORANGES UP
ABOVE ESTIMATE

Local growers are optimistic con
corning the outlook for a larger or
ange crop than was forecast in the es-
innate made in the spring, when it
was predicted that the crop would
likely be only 40 per cent of normal.
Late bloom is promising, and the rains
are proving beneficial throughout the
lower end of the state. The Tampa
Tribune of Sunday says;

result Of the recent rains, and the
Florida Citrus exchange believes that
if these rains are followed by dry
period of a week or ten days, this late
bloom will stick.
&C. E. Stewart, Jr., manager of the
exchange, declares that continued
rains will wash the pollen out of the
blossoms, thus causing them to fall off
the trees. To what extent the crop
next spring will be augmented by
these late blossoms, Mr.. Stewart said,
could not be ascertained until next
month. Whether they will stick on
the trees or not is at present probe
NAUTICAL.
Trees, he asserts, could not be in
better condition for blooming at this

fertilizer has caused them to show

PROHIBITION
UTTERAACES

y
Nothing can better iifpsTrate tiae In.
Temperatures of the average prohi-
bition leader than the nasty attack
made by Virgil G. Hinshaw, chairman
Iof the national committee of the pro-
ihibition party, on President Wilson,
accusing him of blocking national pro-
hibition at this time by coming to
the rescue of the brewers in the final
hour" This utterance of Hinshaw's
is entirely in keeping with the most
approved prohibition tactics. Oppose
anything the prohibitionists demand
and Immediately you are denounced as
belonging to the liquor interests or the
brewers. This is always the case.
We would like to make it clear, how
ever, that we are referring TO the self
constituted prohibition leaders in what
we have just said. There are hun
dreds of thousands of prohibition
ists," we are convinced, who will re-
sent Hinshaw's action in assailing the
president as he has done. Not all the
prohibitionists lack a sense of pro-
portion. At the South Carolina Press
association meeting in Beaufort last
week, for example, men who have been
thoroughgoing prohibitionists for
years voted against trying to jam pro-
hibition through congress now unless
the president declared in favor of it
as war measure.
That, in fact, would be the only JUS
LITIGATION for the passage of prohibi-
ton at this time. The attempt to force
it's passage under the guise Of a war
measure, whereas no one with author
ity had thus stamped it, has been es-
|sentially dishonest. Prohibitionists
have attempted to take advantage of
the national peril to foster their cause.
Now, when President Wilson, who has
to view the situation as a whole, has
blocked them, because he saw that if
they succeeded they would arouse such
discomfort in many of the industrial
centers of the country that our war
preparations might be halted, he is ac-
cused of being under the thumb of
the brewers. This is going far even
for prohibitionist speakers. 1t should
be outspokenly repudiated by those
Iwho have not lost their sense of deem
Icy and of patriotism.

ports that Mexico is about to break
with Germany led to the authoritative
statement that any such news would
not be based on advice given by the
American government.
1t was stated that no suggestion of
an active endorsement of the position
of the United States has gone to Mex
leo City from Washington, except the
general note addressed to all neutral
governments upon the rupture of re-
lations with Germany in March. 1t
was made clear, furthermore, that
while the American government would
welcome a friendlier attitude by Mexi-
co, many high officials believe the best
interests of most of the nations con-
cerned will be conserved if the south
ern republic maintains neutrality in
the world war.
Ambassador Fletcher, who came
here to report in detail to Secretary
Lansing on conditions in Mexico, has
told the state department that despite
some improvement in Mexican affairs,
generally much remains to cause con-

our mills must be greatly diminished,

is absolutely vital that we shall pro-
tect the farmer from slump in prices
this year due to glut, or from the I'M

| am informed that most of the allied
countries have fixed the price of wheat
to the farmer at $1.8O per bushel, and
many of their producers believe that,
as allies, it is our ~auty to furnish
wheat at price which, delivered to
them, will not exceed their domestic
price; in other words, about $3.50 per

Dear Mr.. President: In response
lyour request, ! send you herewith
e following notes compiled by my
L and my associates upon the present
fuatfoh with regard to wheat:
Il The 1917 wheat harvest prornis-
es to yield 67s, 00o, 600 bushels. The
normal national consumption and seed
requirements (assunasng a carry-oyer
Of same volume in 1913 as in 1911
amounts to about 100000, 600, thus
leaving theoretical export balance Of
$4,000, 900 bushels. The conservation
measures are already having a mark
ed effect and it is not too much to
hope that the national saving may be
$50, 200, 900 to 1oO,0O0,00o bushsls.
How Spectator is Fattening.
90. The experience lhis year in the
fampant specula ton. extortionate pro-
fits she zen narrower
supplies than 1916 harvest and carry
over, must cause the deepest anxiety.
No better proof of the hardship work
ed upon our people during the past
year needs be adduced than the reci-
tation of the fact that the producer
received an average of S1.51 per bush
ell for the 1916 wheat harvest, yet
vi eat has been as high as 1925 at
Chicago, and the price Of flour has
been from time to time based upon
this speculative price of wheat.
SO. During recent months the allied
governments have consolidated their
buying into one hand in order that
they might relieve the burden of spec
ulation from their own consumers, and
as the restricted exports to neutrals
are but minor item, the export price,
If not controlled, is subject to the will
of the allied buyer, so that in a great
measure the American producer is left
to that buyers judgment and is with
out voice.
