A l6-inch drilling outfit has been
unloaded at Upham, between Las
Cruces and Engle, for the purpose Of
drilling for artesian water, so it is
said. Doubtless the parties could
brave the disappointment il they were
so unfortunate as TO get oil instead
of water. We hear report of one or
two oil rigs that are expected in the
valley above Las Cruces in the near
future.

colder. The apple estimates of the
North, indicates smaller crop than
last year, Citrus shipments from
Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and Ari-
IONA will probably reach 500 cars,
and with the exception of the latter
state, mostly of the Satsuma variety.
Last year record prices were had
due in part to the prevalence Of in
fluenza, owing to the tonic nature Of
orange and grapefruit juices, both be-
ing extensively prescribed by ply
cisions for patients and invalids, with
grateful and beneficial results.
The California Fruit Growers Elk
change has appropriated 100000 for
an advertising campaign. Coopera-
tive marketing is the rule in Cali
fornia. BY cooperation it is possible
to gather together the products of
many small growers and ship to dis
tant markets in carlots. Grading and
packing are supervised by the organ
ization, rather than by the individual
grower. In this way definite and uni
form grades can be placed on tho
market, which brings better prices
and gives better satisfaction than mis-
cellaneous lots packed according to
different individual standards.

70 NEW MEMBERS
CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
IN PAST "a HOURS

With several teams not reporting,
and others not yet able to get around
to all the prospects assigned them,
the work of the committees Of the
Rotary Club and the Chamber Of Com
MERGE, in the membership drive for
the latter organization showed up
splendidly, with net result of 70 live
new members to join in the work Of
boosting for bigger and better
Lakeland. This was the report sub
nitted by the committeeman who met
at luncheon at the Elks' Club today to
take stock of the work Of the past
twenty-four hours.
1t was found that one of the five
Rotary teams, the personnel of which
is Messrs. Merrill, OFT and Jewett,
had secured the largest number Of
new members, having % to their
credit This team was therefore en-
titled to the prize of free airplane
ride, and the members. drew lots to
see which one should go up in the air.
Mr.. OFT was the lucky member, and
at an early date he will 60 up and
look down on the other less success
full contestants.
The Rotarians showed greater in
terest and activity than the Chamber
Of Commerce people themselves, the
Rotary committee securing SO Of the
70 new members; and it is pretty well
settled that the dinner to be paid for
by the losing team will not cost the
Rotarians anything. In order that the
winners may be fed just as they wish,
a committee of Rotarians was ap-
pointed to prepare the menu for this
feast
The committees are still hard at
work. and they will meet for another
luncheon on Monday at which time
they hope to have completed the can
vass, and it is certain that consider
ably more than 100 new members will
have been secured.

story goes the rounds that apples purchased the
tree at point in Virginia for sixteen and two-third
cents per bushel have been reailed here in Farmont
at the price of $500 per bushe According to the ac-
count the apples are gathered loaded and shipped direct
to our CITY, and retailers purchase them from the local
agent at $500 per bushe These same apples have been
subsequently offered to the public in instances at
15c per pounds In view Of the cost involved IN the pick
ing packing and shipping the apples which would prob
ably bring their marketing cost close to one dollar the
bushel the price at which our merchants purchased
them is not unreasonaby excessive as things go these
days. but why any merchant should think himself just-
fed in asking FIVE dollars four dollars the bushel
for apples costing him two dollars, is something the
average customer will find hard to see If these facts
be correct the buyer and his local agent have good
thing and the merchants who in turn handle them have
good thing and in this instance the ultimate consumer
is good thing and the farmer who has given his good
land and years of labor to the cultivation and producing
of the fruit is also good thing This beats the Martins

Sugar will not be with us in any appreciabe quantity
until after the canning season is practically over.
There have been questions and questions regarding the
sugar situation, and there have been answers and
swers as innumerable but no one seems have fingered
the right key the puzzle yet However the chance
of let up after canning time is past produces faint
wonder as to the canned goods situation this winter
and who has interest in supplying the public with Its
jams, jeies and spread-ons If America stands by
unable to make her own household preserves and mar
malades, then she will be largely certain to buy very
freely this winter Of those offered by canning and
serving houses at price, II any connection should be
shown between this sugar famine and these interests,
whom it is rumored hold large supplies even outside
the United States then the government should set tho
price on their products just the it is holding
fiat the amount to be charged for sugar In the mean
time every housewife should cook well and alright
every bit of fruit that wkeep without sugar. and when
the canning season and the sugar is once more
to be had without restriction then marmalades and jams
can be made at leisure.
