Little Change in
Condition of the
Citrus Fruits

Gainesville, Nov. 17.-The condi-
ton of citrus fruits remains good
over most of the state with little
change noted over that of the pre-
vious month, according to the report
of crop conditions in this state by
the department of agriculture. Har-
vesting of staple crops continues, but
fall plowing and farm work general
ly has been delayed by unfavorable
weather during October. Production
of staple crops will compare favora-
bly, with last year. Corn, peanuts,
tobacco and velvet beans will be
lighter, but the frui tcrops, cotton,
Irish potatoes and several of the
minor crops will show heavy in
creases. Indications are that pro-
duction of sweet potatoes and the
hay crops will be about the same as
last year.

JUGS AND BOTTLES
SECURED IN RAID;
CARTER ARRESTED
Containers of All Sizes
Were Taken; Nearly
All EmptieS

Fred Carried was placed under ar
rest this morning by Deputies Can
non and Minton in a raid made at a
poit southeast of Palatka, about a
half mile from the city limits. He
made cash bond in the sum of two
hundred dollars for appearance in
court. His arrest was made on a
charge of having liquor in his pos
session, one pint of shine being
seized.
The office of the sheriff was we'll
filled with large glass containers OF
six-gallon capacity, jugs of the
same size, and some fifty or more
containers of smaller sizes, styles,
and shapes. All were empty, but
each gave forth the odor of the
goods prohibited since the Volstead
law became operative. There was
one bottle that was more carefully
handled than the remainder, because
it contained a pint of liquid alleged
to be home-distilled hooch.
The officers had no trouble in
making the seizure, and Carter very
willingly accompanied them to the
court house. The officers are conf
dent that they know where the Ii
ouor seized was made, and believe
from the "empties" discovered that a
considerable traffic in moonshine
has been carried on.
