FLORIDA CITRUS FRUIT
Would Make a Golden Belt Around
the World

Tampa, July 1.-THE statistician
of the Tampa Tribune, with report
before him on the carload shipments
of citrus fruit from Florida during
the season just closed, declares if the
oranges and grapefruit moved could
be placed side by side they would
make a golden belt foot wide around
the globe at the equator.
Shipments included 2O,616 carloads
of oranges averaging 800 boxes to the
car or total of 1925, 900 boxes, and
1891 cars, or 3,546,850 boxes of
grapefruit.
Oranges will average l60 to the box
and it is estimated the fruit would
average three inches in diameter. The
total shipments of oranges at $50 to
the box would be 1,156,O96 and these
placed side by side would make a con-
tinuous line 54.947 miles in length.
Averaging grapefruit at 60 to the
box and each fruit five inches in diam
eter, the total would be 272 2,811, 900
fruit and if laid side by side line
21 ,625 miles in length would result.
The total length of the orange-grape-
fruit line would be 76,573 miles in
length or sufficient to belt the earth
three times at the equator with near
ly 450O mile sof fruit left over.

Gainesville, July 14.-Florida's cot
ton crop this year will be approx
mately 2400 bales less than last sea-

Washington, July 14.-Doubt when
a vote would be reached In the Senate

AN ORDINANCE THAT
CAN'T BE ENFORCED

Miami Beach, July 1.-The local
city council at its last meeting adopted
an ordinance declaring it unlawful TO
change from clothing to bathing suits
In automobiles or other vehicles. A
measure which would have prohibited
persons appearing in bathing suits in
automobiles unless the apparel was
covered from shoulders to knees and
which would have affected persons
who put on bathing suits at home and
ride to the beach in their cars, failed
of passage. Police Commissioner
Henning said it would require the po-
lice of ten cities TO enforce such an
ordinance and he urged its rejection.

FLORIDA CROP PROSPECTS

Gainesville, July 14.-Crop pros
poets over the state were irregular on
July ], according to the report of the
federal bureau of markets and crop
estimates here ON conditions during
the mont hof June. The report, pre-
pared by Sam T. Fleming, statistician
of the bureau, declared citrus fruits
were improving and that indications
on July were for increased produe-
tion of rice, peanuts, peas and le-
gumes geenrally with decrease in
corn, cotton, tobacco and most of the
other staple crops.
The citrus crops are recovering
from the critical condition caused by
dry weather in May and June, says
the report Grapefruit especially,
when compared with the condition of
former years, promises heavier
yield than usual. Oranges are not up
to the usual condition but did improve
during June and the pessimistic feel
ing of growers earlier in the season
as regards production has shifted now
to the question of transportation and
rates. No reliable estimate of pro-
duction for the citrus crops can be
made this early because conditions
during the next six weeks or two
months will determine largely the size
of the crop. Prospects for a good
yield, however, are better now than
earlier IN the season.
There has been some shifting OF
acreages in the staple crops but grow
ing conditions Indicate production will
not be in line with such changes. Corn,
with an increase of about forty thou
sand acres over last year promises a
lower production because of the dam
age to early paintings from dry
weather. The bulk of the production
will come from the late paintings.
Cotton, on greatly decreased
acreage, promises low yields and de-
creased production.
Tobacco, with an increase of five
per cent in acreage, and a perfect
stand which gave early indications of
unusually heavy yields. was seriously
affected by the dry weather in May
and June and production was further
curtailed by damage and losses from
rains at harvest time.
The rice acreage is fully 25 per
cent greater than in 1920, due to ex-
tensive paintings in one or two locali-
ties.
The acreage already planted to
sweet potatoes, peanuts and hay crops
is smaller than last year but planting
has been delayed by dry weather and
late paintings, extending through
July and part of August, may Offset
these decreases.
The condition of honeybees over the
state on July 1 was excellent so far
as strength of colonies and healthful-
Iness was concerned, the bureau states.
The average yield of surplus honey
per colony to that date was 35 pounds
as compared with an average for the
United States of 23.7 pounds. Much
higher Yields would have been made
under more favorable conditions but
rainy weather during the heaviest
dow through the Tupelo section Of
West Florida and dry weather with
extensive burning of the woods earlier
in the year over the state as whole
cut off what promised to be a seasor

Nothing Is more romantic than the

and life itself. On land 1t moves about
the bases of the mountains, out of the
lOwlands, winding through the chapar-
raj, along the easy grades Of the can
yons, never forcing its way, but def
nitely avoiding the slippery rock face
and the poison oak; upward into the
fresh air that breathes through the
pass; on, through the pass and into
the unknown beyond, into the valley of
hearts desire Ii carries the laden mule
and the traveller with his pack.
Across the great deserts the trail is
a route, seeking the shades of
cliff and avoiding the shifting dunes /;
stretching unerringly toward the next
water hole. IL is the written testimO-
NAL of the trails and triumphs of the
men who have gone before. 1t is the
only pathway of the devout pilgrim, as
of the warlike Bedouin. Every habita-
ton Of man that has eve dominated
one of these great trails has made his
tory and has been In its day a treasure
