Marianne, Fla, July 2o-The most
disastrous drought Of many years in
Jackson county was broken yesterday
by heavy rains, which are apparently
general. With the exception of a few
small local showers there have been
no rains since early in June, and with
the continued heat the fields have be-
come parched, and what bid to be the
the greatest corn producing county of
Florida has been cut Off by at least 80
per cent. Only a small acreage of very
young corn will benefit by The rains.
The peanut, crop, however, will for the
most part receive considerable benefit
from the rains, and next to the corn
crop this will be Jackson county's main
dependence this year. 1t is estimated
that one hundred thousand acres of
peanuts are being cultivated in the
county this year. The oil mill of
the Florida Peanut Oil Company. of
Malone. this county, will not be able
to handle anything like the most of
this crop. and realizing this the people
of Greenwood, headed by Louis B.
Smith. banker. and supported by out
side capital, are now building another
mill at that place, which is only six
miles from Malone. Greenwood already
has a grain elevator, owned and oper-
ated by local capital and with the
building of the railroad into that town
months ago, the spIendidly rich farm
ing section surrounding the town is
being developed as never before dur

RATES ALLOWED
BY GEORGE 4. MANNlNo

washington, July a0.-BecauSe of
the great uncertainty in Florida in
regard to the intentions of the rail-
lad administration towards restoring
the homeseekers and tourist railroad
rates. Senator Park Trammell took
the matter UP with General Director
McAdoo's Office in an effort to obtain
a ruling for guidance in future.
He was advised by the railroad adj
ministration today that present con-
ditions do not appear 70 be opportune
for the restoration Of the homeseekers
rates. The railroad administration
takes the view that few people are
seeking homes now and there is no
necessity for special railroad rates to
encourage activity along this line. The
policy for the future is left open.
The railroad administration has an
open mind in regard to restoring tour
fist rates to Florida, Senator Tram
nell was advised No action has
been taken with regard to restoring
special tourist rates to Florida for the
coming winter. It was said. and no de-
cision has yet been reached.
