FLORIDA PRODUCERS SUFFER
HEAVILY BY LOSSES IN TRANSIT

Florida farmers have suffered such
heavy losses in shipping their vege-
table crops this year that they may
not plant again, according to a state
ment made yesterday by A. T Hutch
ems, OF BradentOwn, Fla, who called
at the office of the Federal Food
Board here Mr.. Hutchens is a celery
grower of Manatee county, and he has
been delegated by the farmers of Flo
ida to investigate the cause of losses
which will run up into thousands OF
dollars.
The vegetables. including celery,
caulifloweT, lettuce and tomatoes, and
strawberries from other counties,
have arrived here in such a damaged
condition for the most part that the
farmers will not make twenty-five per
cent Of their expenses in raising the
vegetables and fruit, Mr. Hutchens
said
Because the farmers could not IN
derstand why when their vegetables
were properly Grated and boxed they
should he received in damaged con
ditiOn, they decided to make an inves-
tigatiOn Mr.. Hutchens has been
daily at Pier NO. 20, where practically
all the Florida produce arrives. since
he arrived last Friday
IT'S a cold fact that we've got to
quit growing these things the grow
er asserted. If ! lose $4,000 on ten
acres Of celery, as ! will do this year
how anxious will be to plant celery
next year," he continued
The farmers all realize that they
i cannot make it pay as things are now
And if New York wants fresh Vege
tables from the south another winter
some arrangements viii have to be
made for receiving them, for the trou
bic all seems to be at this end
Railroad companies employ cheaT
labor possibly because they can't get
better men and the men handling the
crates and hampers Of fresh vege
tables with wilful and malicious de
structive intent
These are the conditions ! nave
seen myself every day on that pier
The average carrier crate or hamper
costs from fifteen to seventeen cents
/ 1t would take several cars to pack il
] the broken crates and haul them away
from that pier The damage I have
seen runs into thousands of dollars
/ Think what 1t has amounted to foI
the whole winter Florida farmers
ship fruits and vegetables here from
January ! to April !

beg to advise you that am not on
the fence on any question am
where ] have formerly been. viz,
Against a n0fence law for Marion

I do not believe that conditions JUS
tify the passage of no-fence law at
the present time, and I believe that
such a law in Marion County would
be of benefit to a few, and hardship
to many. however, I would not object
to the passage Of a law to let the
qualified white voters Of Mcintosh.

other PRECINCTS that might so desire
in Marion county in the most thickly
