CROP OUTLOOK FOR
CABBAGE AND ONIONS

A warning note comes from the j.
S. department of agriculture to the
effect that southern growers should
consider the existence IN the north
ern states Of large surplus cabbage
and onion crops, says the state mar
keting bureau
The cabbage crop in nine northern
states IN which late summer cabbage
is most extensively grown is report
ed to be the largest since 1915 In
New York and Wisconsin, two states
which store cabbage on a large scale,
the crop is estimated TO exceed that
of 1917 by % per cent. an estimated
increase OF approximately 10000 tons.
In the quantity OF stored cabbage is
in direct proportion to The magnitude
of the crop, the observers say, il is
likely TO be more abundant during
the spring of 1879 than il was during
1918. A great deal Of kraut has been
made, but most of the cabbage has
been carefully stored to be marketed
in accordance with demands.
Price for cabbage last week ranged
from SIG ton in New York, $50 a ton
in Wisconsin, to SIS in New Orleans
Reports from fourteen states where
onions are extensively grown, show .
surplus Of more than million bush
els or about 20 per cent more thar
the fall of 1917. This increase with
the regular carry over for market in
the spring of 1919, may meet de
mands. Prices last week for onions
ranged from $3.50 per 100 pounds in
New York and Boston, with TOT
prices in New Orleans at 50 a hun

AN INTERESTING VISITOR

The friends Of Mr. Chas. W White,
of New York and Citra, were pleased
to see him on oar streets yesterday
and it was gratifying TO note that he
was not looking scarcely a day older
than he was on his last visit now
nearly a decade ago
At the time of the big freeze" Mr..
White was the largest owner OF
orange grove properties of any other
individual in the state and of course
was the largest sufferer.
Since that calamity he has lived
principally in New York. spending a
large part Of his time in the west and
in Alaska engaged in various enter
prises, and from his appearance we
are justified in assuming that some
of them must have borne rich fruit.
He is still so immersed in business,
however, that although having the in
clination he has scarcely the time
to shake hands with old friends whose
friendship he prizes most highly, but
he says that his business is shaping
itself so that he hopes within a few
weeks that he will be enabled 70
spend some time in Florida for the
purpose of relaxation, recreation and
reminiscing with old-time friends

Much is written OF the great tFop-

j. d. Vance, who lives on Arcadia
Heights, dug a well last fall, just about
the driest time OF the year, at his
place, near the tabernacle, and at q
depth of thirty feet secured an abund-
ant of supply Of water. The we'll has
furnished an unlimited amount of
water for mar and beast all winter
and the water is now twenty feet.
The well has a depth of thirty feet
and is not far from the summit of the
mountain. In digging it, Mr.. Vance
says, no stone or rock were encount-
cred in the entire thirty feet. The
vein of water is an ~ususually strong
one, and. in a measure, inexhaustible.
Mr.. Vance has evidently solved the
problem of securing cheap and whole
some water for Arcadia Heights.

Il at Sabula last Thursday morning at
1920 O'Clock William Evans, conduct
or, was instantly killed, James Page,
Jr., fireman, seriously injured and
William Mills, engineer, slightly in
jured. Evans and the two injured
men belonged to the pusher crew.
The pusher, it seems, had helped a
section Of passenger train No. 5 over
Gads Hill and was returning to Area
dia, with orders TO meet train No. II,
south bound, at Annapolis. Disre-
gardlng these orders the pusher kept
on the main track speeding north
ward. AT Sabula train n was at a
standstill when the pusher engine
came in sight. The crew on the
freight engine realized a collision was
inevitable and hurried to places of
safety. Both engines we're badly de-
molished. The fireman was buried
underth coal on his tender and it
was several hours before he could be
extricated. His condition is critical.
How the pusher crew went past its
meeting point is hard to understand.
Engineer Mills says that he was busy
at the time trying to repair a steam
valve that vas frozen and the meet
ing point escaped his mind. The
track is straight for some distance
where the collision occurred and the
pusher crew could have seen the
headlight of the freight engine for
some time before the accident. The
