Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., has re- ceived word from Kodiak that the Spanish influenza condition in kod- iak and vicinity is improving. There were three deaths in Kodiak on Sunday and two on Monday and several other cases are in a criti- cal condition. There were no deaths in Kodiak yesterday. Many were reported to be i'll at Ouigen- lie. The message to Gov. Riggs, which came from Carl Armstrong, deputy marshal at Kodiak, thanked him for the interest he was taking on their behalf.

HORTON RESIGNS POSITION AS

s. A. Horton, agent of the Pa cifc Steamship Company, has re- signed, and J. H. Kline, agent at Cordova, will arrive here about Dec , to relieve him. MT. Horton sue ceeded H. P Gallagher as Juneau agent for the Pacific Steamship Company several months ago when the latter was selected to have charge of the Eastern agency at New York
 Mir. Horton's plans for the fu- ture have not yet developed, but he has private interests which make il necessary for him to be closer the fields of operation than Alaska. It might be that he will remain with the Pacific Steamship Company with which he has been connected for more than a decade. During his residence in Juneau he has made many friends for himself and lost none for his company. He will probably leave Juneau about De- cember goth.
 J. H. Kline, who succeeds MT. Horton as agent at Juneau, is well known in this city. He is an old time transportation man, and was formerly connected with the Alas ka Steamship Company For a year or more before taking the Cordoya agency of the Pacific Steamship Co.,, he was Juneau Ticket Agent for the Pacific Steamship Company, and had charge of its uptown office on Seward street.

Florida Can Be Wheat Raiser

The United States department
of agriculture has issued a call to
the states to plant an increased
acreage of winter wheat in the
fall of 1918. Of the forty-eight
states in the Union thirty y-eight
are named, the spring wheat
states of the Northwest and the
two Southern states Of Florida
and Louisiana are omitted.
"Florida has been overlooking
a good thing and so has Louisiana
in not giving more attention to
growing wheat" says the State
Marketing Bureau. During the
past winter farmers here and
there in various counties Of north
ern Florida have been expert
menting with good results.
"It is hoped that the farmers
in the north half of the state may
give consideration to this subject
and get in touch with the United
States department of agriculture,
Washington, ID. c., and secure in
formation about seed and methods
of cultivation.
jackson county has already
moved in the matter, enough
farmers having signed pledges to
provide the wheat, and Touring
mill of twenty-five barrel daily ca
pacity is to be erected at Marian
ma. That county is also taking a
lead in corn, sending thirty cars
of that great cereal to Kansas
City last year, where it graded

for. wheat abroad, wheat -four

Florida-indeed if we get any at
all-in the next year or two unless
our state engages in its produc-
ton. Why not?
FLORIDA can grow wheat, oats.
rice, sugarcane, white and sweet
potatoes and a great variety of
truck crops. One crop can be
made to follow another. To grow
things can be made a continuous

populous countries of Europe are
now close to the point of famine.

The growing season in Florida
is represented by twelve months
in the year and every day in ev-
cry month, and the variety of pro-
ducts that are grown is only linn
tied by those known to the human
race, although possibly every
thing ever heard of might not be
grown successfully; still the mild
climate and fertile soils of Flori-
da are capable of wonderful de-
velopment and production.-Flor-

invested large sums in Cuba, ana
have neglected their Florida op
portunities to establish sugar fac

ditions, and increase the value pe>

Good Prices for Early Oranges
7 ours truly,
r. E. ROSE.

Ocala, Fla, July "a That ear
| ly oranges, particularly Parson
Browns, can be expected to bring
excellent prices in the northern
markets was the trend of opinion
expressed at a rally here today OF
Marion county members of the
Florida Citrus Exchange.
Speaking upon the subject OF
prices, DR.. j. Fl. Ross of Florence
Villa, president of the Florida Cit
rus Exchange, said it seemed pro-
bable that spectators had been
responsible for the, impression
that orange and grapefruit prices
would not be good this year; and
that, in consequence Of this i'm
preston having gotten out, a
number of growers had been led
to contract for the sale of their
fruit for considerably less than it
was worth.
"We have no information, !"
said DR.. Ross, "that conditions
will be such as to compel growers
to accept for their fruit less than
it is worth. At the same time, we
believe that, with the greatly in
creased costs of citrus fruit pro-
duction this year, growers should
see to it that they obtain fair pric-
es for their crops.
"Inasmuch as our government,
and the director general of rail
roads in particular, are on record
as desiring to afford every posi-
BILE facility for the movement of
Florida's citrus fruits, we have
every reason to expect our fruit
to reach the markets in reasonable
time. Rumors that citrus fruits
might be denied transportation,
for the reasons that they are err
roneously thought by some people
to belong to the luxury class, pro-
badly originate from the same
sources which have been response
bic for the impression that prices
will not be good"
In addition to DR.. Ross, there
were present at the meeting F. L.
sales manager, and G. E.
Stewart jr., business manager OF
the Florida Citrus Exchange, R.
H. Holland, manager of the New
York office of that organization,
and a considerable number of the
leading men of the citrus fruit in
dustry of Marion and Orange
counties.
While it was declared that no
prediction safely could be made
as to exact prices, the opinion ex-
pressed by the various speakers
was to the effect that an excellent
market for Florida s citrus fruits
could be expected throughout the
,ellin0 season; and the tone of the |
meeting was decidedly optimistic. |

Some Valuable Information.

Editor Times-Union: | read
with interest your editorial of ,Ju-
ly 21, A Deserved Call Down, in
reference to the production of
sugar in Florida. AS Wanamaker
said there were but three reasons
why the parcel post system was
not adopted, and they were the
Southern Express Company, the
Adams Express Company and the
Wells-Fargo Company. The
three reasons why the sugar pro-
duction of America, particularly
in the Gulf states, has not as
sumed larger proportions, are GER
tainly in my opinion, as | have ex-
pressed it for many years, the A
merican Sugar Refining Com
panies; which prior to the estab-
lishment of the Arbuckles and
California Refining Companies,
dominated, as it does now, the
sugar market of the United
States, and in fact the cane sugar
industry Of the world, as did the
American, Tobacco Company, the
tobacco industry; which was real
ly an international association of
manufacturers who dictated the
price paid to producers and the
price charged to consumers.
AT the present time, the three
prominent sugar refiners actually
control the sugar markets of the
world and dominate the produc-
ton of raw sugar, and monopolizc
the refining of the same. In this
connection the editorials from the
Louisiana Planter and Sugar
Manufacturer, which | inclose,
confirm the position assumed by
myself, as published on numerous
occasions in the Florida Citizen
and again as stated in my address
before the Agricultural Society in
Jacksonville, May 3, 1900, pages
%, %, and "a of the "Sugar In
dustry of Florida" sent under

While Florida produces a con-
siderable amount Of sugar cane,
and with very crude apparatus
wasteful and inefficient-makes
an excellent table sirup, she Sc
cures but one-half the sugar in
the cane which must be sold large
ly to sugar refneries.
When our capitalists and par
ticularly our large land owners,
will erect modern factories ana
manufacture only standard, gran
ulated sugar direct from the cane,
the grower will make a larger
profit from his cane than he can
possibly make on his sirup; while
the manufacturer will make as
large profits. Owners of large
tracts 100000 acres, or more) of
well-drained muck lands in Flor
ida have neglected their oppor-
tunity, afforded by the present
conditions (urged by myself in
1914), to encourage the planting
