Washington, Aug. 22.-Repeal of the

the house in passing the repeal meas

the vote of more than two-thirds in
both houses of congress.
Agitation for repeal of the daylight
saving law first came from farmers,
but recently was buttressed by labor
unions, mothers clubs, rural school au-
thorities and many other interests.
Urban opinion also became divided
and officials of many cities and small
er towns demanded repeal. Congress
was flooded with petitions for repeal
and with petitions urging retention of
the statute
Loss of time in farm labor was the
principal objection raised to the law
This complaint came principally from
farmers employing hired hands"
The complaint of loss of labor was
based principally on the shortening of
the working day on the farm by the
advancing Of the clock one hour from
March to October.
The farmers declared they could not
adjust farm work to the advanced
time because, with the clock advanced
an hour, farm work could not be begun
as early in the morning as under the
normal time schedule and must close
an hour earlier. This is because the
dew on the ground in the early morn

wide-awake trucker will realize that

of his profits to railroads and commits

lies great market, which demands

man comes, we suppose we shall have
to continue eating culls and canned

COMING IN SPITE
OF THE WEATHER

Weather reports from the north In.
dicate that the winter which Is just
closing there has been the mildest In
many years, If not in the history Of
weather recording. 1t has been un.
usually warm and free from the dis.
tressing billiards. and storms which
frequently visit the section during the
winter time.
1t has always been thought that a
mild winter, north, would mean that
visitors and tourists would not come
to Florida, that is, that has been the
thought UP to this section.
Those who have thought on the sub
ject have concluded that people would
only come to Florida when they were
driven out Of their northern homes by
the stress of weather, that they would
not leave until the cold fairly com.
PEELED them to leave.
But this season, here, has taught
us that we need not depend on severe
weather to send people In droves to
Florida, they are coming, anyhow.
With the mildest winter known in
the north for many years, Florida
has had the greatest season in all Its
history. More people crowded into
hotels and apartment houses and into
private homes than were ever seen In
the state before at any one time, and
tho reports indicate that on the av'
erage they have staid longer this year
than ever before.
The lesson for us in this winters
overflow, is to prepare to take care Of
the crowds that are certain to come
to the state in increasing numbers
every season.--Miami Herald.

One OF those mysteries which no
feiioW seems to be able to find out is
why' In a state which produces mil.
lions of boxes of the finest oranges In
the world, they should be higher in
price to the consumer than in the cit.
les of the north, 1000 or more miles
away. Yet II the letters our tourist
friends get from their people up there
are to be relied on, such is the fact.
The same is true of celery, of lettuce
and tomatoes, and in fact everything
which can be shipped out Of the state.
And the worst of 1t is that we are com.
PEELED to put up with the culls in all
lines. The best Of the produce is
shipped out, for only the best can pay
the enormous freight charges the rail.
roads exact. The grower seems to
be obsessed with the idea that he
must ship the best of his stuff to get
the big prices in the north, and finds
to his sorrow too often that the price
quoted is fake one, that the market
Is glutted with perishable stuff that
must be sold for what 1t can bring,
and his account of sales Is embellish.
ed in the red ink, denoting loss.
Conditions are not as bad for the
grower as they were few years ago,
for In most large producing sections
there are buyers who take the stuff
at a fixed I. o. b., and the farmer al
lows the buyer the pleasure Of holding
the bag, but Of course he gets paid
for it in the margin which he makes
sure of to avoid contingencies. But
equally Of course he takes only the
| best and the home consumer has to
worry along with the seconds and
culls, for which he pays first class
prices. Hence 1t is that the consumer
in the north Is able to get fruits and
vegetables at prices equal, or lower,
than those charged the southern con-
sumer where they are grown.
We note in the Miami papers that
tomatoes are pltiful and selling at
IS to so cents per basket, the higher
price, presumably for the best. In
Tampa we are charged 70 to 80 cents
per basket for fruit which is imper-
feet, and would not grade higher than
seconds or culls. The writer has
lived in Tampa for more than six
years and has never yet seen a first
class head of lettuce In market. In
Atlanta, previous to coming here we
could buy first-class lettuce, firm and
solid heads, for the same price we pay
here for leafy, ragged stuff no prudent
trucker would think of shipping. And
yet as good lettuce can be grown here
as can be produced in Sanford or
Manatee.
The remedy lies with the grower
We have all the advantages of soil
