LETTER FROM LIGHT

Editor Star: Both the Star and the
Times-Union on the same date pub
lished notice of meeting to be held
in Orlando, Oct. 9th, by the railway
interests and the shippers to consider
a reduction of freight rates, etc.
Meetings of this kind have been
held and will be held in many parts
OF the United States, for the biggest
problem that now confronts this coun-
try is the transportation problem, and
both carriers and shippers want an
equitable and just adjustment of the
transportation, hence the call for this
meeting.
Believing the very best business
talent in Marion county should be at
this meeting and assist in a proper
adjustment of the present transporta-
tion rates, causes me to urge that the
Marion County Board of Trade send
proper delegation, that Mr.. Shearer
of the farmers union see that the
farmers have some one there to take
care of their interests and the fruit
and vegetable interests do their duty
in this respect. Should the business
interests, the trade bodies, the farm
ers and fruit and vegetable growers
fail to take an active part in this I'M
dertaking Il. would lead the railroad
men to believe our many complaints
about high costs Of transportation
are not real or true. This fact can
easily be proven when carriers, ship
pers and other interests agree to try
and adjust their differences in a mu-
tual conference where the quickest
and best results can be obtained and
as we are now beginning the shipment
of probably a 3O,OO0-car citrus fruit
crop, a 30,O00-car vegetable crop.
now, above all times, is the time to
meet with the railroad interests and
try and secure a a reduction IN the
present transportation rates.
1t would be best for those who at
tend this meeting to be prepared to
show good reasons why a reduction in
freight rates would pay both the car
riers and the shippers. L. S. Light.

LAKE WEIR

Lake Weir. Oct. 19-Mrs. John Pas
teur of Ocala spent Saturday with
her old friends and neighhors who are
always delighted to see her here at
her former home before moving to
Ocala
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Lytle of Weirs-
dale, were visiting friends here Sun
day morning.
Quite a per cent of the oranges
around the lake have been sold to the
Lee Bros. at Eastlake, where they will
be packed at their large, modern
packing house on the lake shore and
railroad. Owing to dry weather the
oranges are. not as fine as formerly,
except on the island and very near
the lake shore in low places they are
sweet and in fine condition. All of
the packing houses around the lake
have been in full operation for the
past two weeks, and returns have been
satisfactory owing to Lake Weir Per-
son Browns being among the yerv
earliest oranges on the market I'D
always commanding a fine price.
The farming lands all around the
lake are being put in readiness for
watermelons the coming spring. Mr..
Sigmon on the south side will put in
sixt yacres, others 25 to so acres. The
returns last season were very salts
fatcory and every acre of land avail
able will be cleared and put in water
melons the coming season. After the
melon crop is gathered crop of peas.
sweet potatoes and peanuts can be
grown on the same land to be gather
ed in September and October to use
up the fertilizer that the melons did
not take up.
