CITRUS GROWERS SEE RAY OF
LIGHT; MARKET GETTING BETTER

ket, this morning said: "a combina-
tion of circumstances caused the
market to fall off. First, the fruit did
not mature as early as usual. Then,
the growers seemed in a hurry to
ship, and they sent out about seventy
per cent more fruit this season than
in past season. Furthermore, the
buying power of the south has been
greatly weakened by the losses in the
cotton crop, and the buying power of
the west also has been practically
nothing on account of it's failure in
grain crops. This left only the east,
and it was not up to norma strength
because of the closing of so many fac
tories. In addition to all this, there
was poor shipping weather and the
fruit carried, badly l cannot see
however, why the remainder of the
crop should not bring a fair price.
am pretty sure it will unless it is
brought in too fast, and the weather
affects its carriage. We do not ex
pect to resume shipping until the sit.
uation clears a little more, and the
weather will permit of safe ship.

HOTELS AND DINING CARS
ASKED TO SERVE FLORIDA
FRUIT AT FAIR PRICES

Jacksonville, Jan. 5.-Complaints
have been received that unwarrante1
high prices per portion for citrus
fruits have been charged in some ho.
tells and on some dining cars, thereby
discouraging consumption by the trav-
cling public. Some of the hotel man
ayers also complain that they have
not been able to get a dependable
supply of first quality citrus fruit to
surve their customers.
The Florida Development Board
consulted responsible marketing
agencies and has assurance that all
orders from managers of hotels and
dining cars, who will serve good quail
ity Florida citrus fruit at nominal
charges per portion, will be filed
while fruit is in season.
That information has been con-
veyed to the managers of hotels in
Florida and to the managers of din
ing cars operating on roads to north
ern and eastern states, asking their
cooperation in not serving any Cali
fornia citrus fruit while Florida cit
rus fruit is in season, and tose rye
first quality Florida citrus fruit at
nominal charge per portion.

IN THE DAYS NEWS

Sir Alfred Mond, who is departing
for Palestine today to study condi-
tions ther Elm connection with Zionist
plans for the country's development,
is a celebrated authority on finance,
who has also held importan tadminis-
trative posts in the British Govern
mnet. Entering Parliamen tin 1906,
he has been conspicuous in debate on
many topics, but especially on free
trade questions. He is treasurer of
the Free Trade Union, and has writ
ten very largely on political and eco
nomic questions. Aside from politics
he is a prominent figure in the bust
ness world, and it was undoubtedly
his business achievements that led to
his selection by Premier Lloyd
George for the important post of First
Commissioner of Works in the British
Government, a position he held during
a critical period of the war.

The strawberry season is now on
in this territory, and much of the
fruit is going out by express each
day. It is estimated that there are
at least one hundred acres of berries
Immediately in and around Lakeland
this season, and the yield is larger
than it has been in some time, and
will run from $500 to 5000 quarts to
the acre. The berries also are large
and delicious.
The shipping began in a small way
about the middle of December, and
the shipments have increased with the
maturing of the crop. The pleasant
weather for the past few weeks has
had much to do with the early matur-
ity of the crop.
The price started off extra good
being S1.S5 and ST.. so per quart. OF
course as the supply increased the
prices declined and at present range
around 25c and S0c a. quart. These
prices are Z. o. b. Lakeland.

While the citrus situation in this
section is still somewhat in the air, it
is believed that within two weeks the
market will be back so near to normal
that packing and shipping may be
continued in full capacity.
For the past two weeks the condi-
ton in the citrus belt has been sim
liar to that prevailing in the cotton
growing and tobacco-raising areas.
There has been no market for the
products of the groves.
This morning E. M. Patterson, at
the head of the Lakeland Citrus
Growers Association, which is mem
ber of the growers exchange, when
asked for a statement said: "The
market is getting a little stronger.
We do not know yet just when our
house will resume packing, but if the
improvement continues, possibly we'll
start again in about week. Our
house closed December 18th. There
is a better feeling all through the mar
ket. There has been slight advance
in prices in the past few days, and
am of the opinion that in two weeks
the situation will be o. X. Yes
there is a much better feeling"
Asked the cause of the slump, Mr.
Patterson continued: 1T is my opin.
ion that it has been largely matter
of distribution. The fruit was rushed
in too fast at the opening of the sea.
son and on top of this a lot of it was
too green. The northern market is
now clear of fruit, having been prac-
tically cleaned up by the holiday buy,

rolling again, and that the anxiety OF
the growers will be relieved. Or

AS LAKELAND LOOKED
A LONG TINE AGO

Six very interesting photos may be
seen in the window at the Cason &
Tacker drug store on East Main
street. The pictures belong to L. O..
Cason, and show how Lakeland looked
thirty-fve years ago. The town then
was nothing more than a very small
village. Mr.. Cason recently brought
the photos from Spartanburg, S. c.,
where for the past several years they
have been in possession of the Turn
er family. Claude Turner was one Of
the very first settlers in Lakeland.
One view shows Main street looking
west from what is now the Auditor
ium theater; another is Of Kentucky
avenue. The camera did not register
much On that avenue then because
there was nothing to be shown but a
mere handful of frame houses. The
street now is one of the busiest and
best in the business district.
The other views show the city park
from two angles-one from Main
street, looking north toward the de-
pot, and another from Main toward
the fremont. What is now one of the
most important blocks in the city
Mum park was then a very dull,
drab, treeless, sand lot, and both
photos show that a. game Of either
baseball or town BALI was then rag

small bushes some of them not large
enough to show up in the picture.

STRAWBERRY YIELD IN LAKELAND
ABOVE AVERAGE; PRICES DOWN

Lakeland's second depot. 1t was a
large frame structure, and had be-
gun to look weather-beaten, though
no doubt at that time it was consid-
cred a gorgeous structure.
Massachusetts avenue also is shown
in one of the pictures. The scene is
looking north from Orange street, and
shows what is now the Mum orange
grove.
Mr.. Cason attaches much value to
the photos, and says some of these
times he is going to have views taken
of all these scenes. as they look to-
day, and the comparison will be very
striking.
