new COUNTY MANAGER
Harold Crews Succeeds A Zeigler, i'm
Citrus Exchange.

Harold Crews has succeeded A.
Zeigler as manager of the DeSoto
county Citrus Sub-Exchange, Mr.
Zeigler having resigned last Saturday
to engage in business for himself in
Pinellas county.
This announcement will be of gen.
eral interest to fruit growers, for the
retiring sub-exchange manager has
been interchangeable in working for
the cooperation marketing of fruits
from this county and it is due largely
to his work that larger percentage
of the crop in this county than ever
before is now controlled by the Ex-
change.
Many growers will regret Mr..
Zeigler's resignation, but it is felt
and hoped that the new manager will
bring the same energy and ability to
play in the discharge of his duties
and that the growers will continue to
reap benefits from the cooperative
methods of marketing their produce.

Big ARCADIA fire
Standard. Growers. Packing House
Destroyed; Loss 100000.

A fire of considerable magnitude
occurred in Arcadia at A O'Clock
Sunday morning, when a fire broke
out in the old Hooper packing house
owned by G. w. Welles and soon
spread to the Standard Growers Ex-
change packing house on the north
and to the residence of Mrs. Zimmer-
man on the south, these buildings
being entirely destroyed
The Greystone apartments on the
west and the L. L. Morgan residence
suffered considerable damage.
The packing house of the Standard
Growers Exchange had not as yet
opened but were preparing to open
up this morning and the loss to the
Standard Growers is estimated to be
about 100000. This includes the
building machinery and supplies,
there being no fruit in the building
at the time of the fire. The loss is
partly covered by insurance. The
Hooper packing house has been dis
mantled for some time and used as
warehouse by the state road depart
ment, but at this time very little ma
terial was stored there. The loss is
partly covered by insurance. Mrs.
Zimmerman residence was entirely
destroyed, part of the household
effects being saved. She carried no
insurance. The loss is placed at ST.
900. The Greystore apartment was
damaged about $4,000, covered by in
surance, as was the l.. L. Morgan res
iGence, which was damaged about
81 900 The total loss will aggregate
about 100000.

May BAR FLORIDA
bulge PACK is
RAILROADS. THREAT
Bulge Pack Cause of Much Damaged
Fruit it is Said-Meeting i'm
Orlando the 10th.

| Orlando is to be the scene of a
gathering of Florida growers and
shippers of citrus fruits at 10 a. m..
on Wednesday, November 10th, which
promises to be highly important.
The American Railroad Associa-
tion, through James Menzies, freight
traffic manager of the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad, has sent out a notice
to Florida shippers as follows:
"A great deal of loss occurred in
the handling of citrus fruits last
season because of the bulge pack"
In many cases the bulge" forced the
tops loose at the ends and the fruit
spilled on the floor of the car. APP
parently it will be necessary for us
to prohibit the use of the bulge
pack altogether or else require the
strapping of the boxes at the ends.
For the purpose of giving consider
alton to this question, meeting is
hereby called at Orlando, Wednesday,
November 10th, 1920, at 10 a. m.
l trust that it will be convenient for
you TO be present"
In consequence it Is anticipated
there will be at this time ve"y
large and important meeting of
growers and shippers to present their.
side of the case.
Concerning the proposed order to
discontinue the bulge pack" Bust
ness Manager Stewart of the Florida
Citrus Exchange says;
I'm order to compete with Calffor-
MA the continuation of the bulge
pack on the Florida fruit is abso-
lutely necessary; the trade want it.
and in fact, demand 1t, and to dis
continue It on Florida fruit will be
a result in discounting the value of
the Florida fruit box and conse-
quent loss to the Florida growers"
A call has gone out from the exr
change office for attendance of grow
ers and association managers upon
the meeting. At the same time
those in touch with the situation say
that all outside shippers and growers
will be just as greatly interested in
defending the bulge pack" as are the
Exchange members. 1t is predicted
that the gathering which will asser,.g-
BILE at Orlando will be as represents
tives of the Florida citrus industry
and will show as united front as did
that which met in Tampa last year
to present the growers side in oppo-
sition to the Railroad Administra-
Con's famous order for 432 box load
ing.
Growers and shippers doubtless
will travel long distance in order to
be in Orlando at the time appointed
and the hearing should be an inter-
esting one. In commenting on the
subject one well-known citrus man
said doubtless there has been a lot of
breakage but this breakage is in no
wise due to the bulge pack" 1t is
due rather to conditions over which
the railroads should exercise control
instead of the shippers. This will be
very clearly brought out at the meet
ing and the railroads must prove the
statement which is embodied in the
call for this hearing.
