a considerable acreage in these pro-

Bartow-Orange growers in Polk
county are protesting against the
farmers planting cotton, claiming
that cotton develops bug that Is
very destructive to the citrus crop.
Arcadia.-A three-acre grapefruit
grove shows the effects of careful
scientific handling. The freeze last
February killed all bloom, but under
proper handling later bloom came
out and the yield of the grove this
winter has been 1000 boxes already
picked and 700 boxes remain on the

WHAT HAPPENED TO
RIVERSIDE GIRL WHO KNITTED
SWEATER FOR SOLDIER

Jacksonville, Feb. 1S.-Seyeral
months ago well known young WON
an of Riverside knitted a sweater and
sent it to the Red Cross in order that
lit should reach soldier.
There is not anything unusual in
the fact that this young woman knit
ted sweater-they are all doing It.
1t was not unusual that it was sent to
the Red Cross, because that is where
sweaters are generally sent for dis
tribution.
But the young woman wrote on the
sweater: ITO Jerry on the job. Be-
meath this inscription she recorded
her name and address. Neither was
this so unusual
The sweater found its way to a
camp in the southern part of Texas
because it was sent that way, and it
is natural that 1t should arrive where
it was sent. The garment was pre-.
scented to a stalwart khaki-clad sol
der, and it made him smile. It
pleased him. Naturally!
The other day huge motor truck
stopped before an attractive home in
Riverside. 1t was the home of a
young woman who has knitted several
things for soldiers-and one of them
found its way to Tevas.
A big soldier climbed out of the
truck Then all of the other soldiers
climbed out. They formed them.

line which trailed across the yard,
stood at ease and grinned, which, ac-
cording to the strict discipline of
Camp Johnston is very unusual.
The young woman, blushing like a
red apple, and vaguely wondering,
came timidly to the door. Said he of
leadership:
"T am Jerry on the job and I have
been transferred from Texas, ! have
come to see you and ] have brought
some of the boys of my company"
