their Minot plant last year, million
pounds Of which was made during

GALL ARE BROTHERS
UNDER THEIR SKINS
(Titusville Star-Advocate)

(Titusville Star-Advocate)
One of the best things about state
onventions-whether capital removal,
political, press or lodge-is the oppor-
tunity for rubbing shoulders, getting
acquainted with lot of good fellows.
1t is happy augury for capital re-
moval that the delegates at the Ocala
meeting on Monday, no matter where
from, fraternized as a matter of
course. They were all brothers under
their skins, all citizens of Florida
working for the best interest of the
state.
The two delegates from Titusville
travelled by train to Palatka; then, as
guests of that city's chamber of COM
merce, made the long auto trip to
Ocala and return, $50 miles, over
roads that will be better some day.
The Palatka delegates-two preach
ers and state senator were in our
car-were all thirty-third degree
boosters, and to travel with them was
a pleasure, all too short, no matter
how rough the roads.
Too bad there cannot be five state
capitals in South Florida-one each in
Palatka, Ocala, Orlando and Lake
land-with the big one of all in a
state capital district that can be
made the handsomest in the world.

FLOR|D|ANS WON'T
LACK FOR FOOD
Crops Sufficient Not Only for Them
selves but to Supply Other
Parts of the Country
(Associated Press)

Gainesville, March 1S.-Florida ap-
parently will have enough this sum-
mer and fall to feed itself and supply
a generous portion of food to those
parts of the country which are not
self-supporting, If the semi-monthly
report of the Federal Bureau of Crop
Estimates here on crop conditions
during the first fifteen days of March
can be taken as an indication of the
prospects. The report, issued under
date of March Is, follows:
''The state as a whole has had fav-
orable weather for early crops and
planting. Rain is needed in some Sec
tions of Central and South Florida.
General planting of corn is in pro-
gress. Stand and condition of early
paintings throughout the southern
part of the state are good.
Goats are making good growth and
furnishing excellent grazing.
planting of rice is under way.
There will be big increase in acre
age in some sections.
Cotton planting is well advanced.
All indications point to a considerable
increase in the acreage of Sea Island
cotton over last year.
Condition of Irish potatoes con-
tinues excellent. More sweet potatoes
have been bedded out than usual.
Farmers are getting in early peas,
sorghum and other crops for green
forage. Pasture continues to improve
and is generally good.
"Transplanting of tobacco to the
field has started.
"Citrus trees are showing heavy
bloom and growth.
"Fat hogs are moving to market
with the higher range of prices. Con-
dition of cattle is improving with bet
ter range conditions
"Truck crops, especially water
melons, were damaged through Gen.
trail Florida by high winds.
Increased peanut acreage is indi-
Gated by early paintings" =

DOBSON WANTS CAPITAL TO
HAVE APPROPRIATE DOME
(Titusville Star-Advocate)

(Titusville Star-Advocate)
If all Temple oranges are as good
as good as the one received by the edi-
tor last week from d. C.. Gillett of the
Buckeye Nurseries, then Florida
should standarize on Temple oranges,
as the best and most productive of all
citrus fruits.
When Florida's new state capitol is
built in either a state capital district,
or in Orlando, Ocala or Palatka, the
dome of the capitol should be re-
plica of a Temple orange in shape,
gilded with gold, so all the world can
see and admire the handsomest fruia
grown in the entire world.
