GREAT ORANGE AND
GRAPEFRUIT GROVE
To be Set Our Near Miami by Mr..
E. H. Mote
Miami Metropolis)

Quite the largest thing yet at
tempted in south Dade county in the
way of citrus groves is the several
kundred-acre grapefruit and orange
grove which z. H. Mote of Leesburg
and w. S. Jennings of Jacksonville,
are planting ten miles southwest of
Royal Palm state park.
Mr.. Mote and w. S. jennings son,
Bryan Jennings, with the help of 27
lahorers from Mr.. Notes nursery In
Leesburg, yesterday completed the
planning of 100 acres with trees, and
expect to start in the near future on
the second 100 acres.
We expect to keep on planting as
long as we have the lands and the
trees, and I've no idea how many
acres we'll plant before we stop"
Bryan Jennings said yesterday eve
ming, just before he started on q
short trip TO Jacksonville.
The 100 acres already planted con-
tains 1000 trees, which are set %
feet apart each way, so that the spec
tator can see down the grove dag
onally. The planting is being done
on prairie land and the trees are put
on mounds eight inches above the
general level. One-half of the grove
will be planted in grapefruit and the
other half in oranges of the Parson
Brown, Pineapple and Valencia varie-
ties. The soil there is IA inches deep
underlaid by rock, and one reason
why Mr.. Mote believes it will be good
citrus land is that eight orange trees
planted there eight years ago are do,
ing remarkably well.

HAD TO GIVE THE
JOB TO HOOVER
American Food Director Will Boss
the Railroads in Austria

Paris, March 9.-The supreme war
council has decided to give Herbert
w. Hoover, director of food relief,
practical control over the railways Of
the old austrian empire and to make
hum the mandatory of the council in
demanding locomotives and freight
cars from each of the new states of
Austria with which to create a food
and relief service. The relief trains
will run over all lines without polit-
ical or military interference. The
service will be under the direct con-
troll of Mr.. Hoover Efforts toward
making Mr.. Hoover director-general
of the Austrian railway system in
the carrying out of relief work have
been initiated. All governments in old
Austria have agreed to place ques-
tlons of distribution of rolling stock
in his hands. Austrians who had been
maintaining a food blockade against
Jugo-Slavia have finally allowed their
differences to be settled by commits
sion and the supreme war council has
directed that the blockade be raised
at once.
The action taken is the result of re-
ports of the serious situation through
out Austria Hungary. Owing to re-
strictions placed on American appro-
priations for relief Mr.. Hoover has
arranged for the British government
to purchase s1O,O00.000 worth Of food
stuffs from the United States Grain
Corporation. This will be turned over
for distribution in Vienna. Similar
relief measures will be taken in other
parts of the old empire.
