GOVERNMENT WILL
AID THE GROWERS
Representatives of the Bureau of Mar
kets and Crop Estimates Here
To Confer with the Farmers

AT meeting of the marketing
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, Saturday afternoon at four
o'clock, Mr.. Robert Bier and Mr.. C.
w. Hauck, Investigators in marketing
of the Bureau of Markets and Crop
Estimates of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, outlined the
new federal standard grades for fruit
and vegetables. Mr.. Bier and Mr..
Hauck are making q survey of Mar
ion county and announced at the meet
ing on Saturday that representa-
tive of the Bureau of Markets would
be sent here next season for the pur-
pose of assisting the truck growers to
establish new grades.
Successful marketing must be
based on confidence" said Mr.. Bier
in telling of the Importance of proper
grades. He and Mr.. Hauck pointed out
the economy of an honest pack and its
importance to the producer, distribu-
tor and consumer. They stated that
the Bureau of Markets had officially
recommended standard grades on
eight to ten commodities and that
grades on other products would be
added as Investigations were COM
pleted. The two representatives stated
that the bsne of the produce business
is in adjustments and reflections of
shipments. They stated that one out
Of four cars of unstandardized pro-
duce is lost. They stated that stand
ard grades would reduce the number
of reflections to minimum and pro-
vide basis for al adjustments. Mr..
Bier stated that Of the total number
of cars shipped from Wauchula, Fla,
last season under the United States
standard grades, not single car was
rejected. He said that the shippers
of the U. S. grades netted 20 to 25 per
cent more money than those not using
the grades.
Mr.. Bier and Mr.. Hauck referred to
the enormous waste annually of per-
ishable products due to improper
grades. They exhibited photographs
to the committee showing the condi-
tions in which packages of produce
reached their destination. They stress
ed the Importance and value of adver-
tising and the adoption Of brands and
trade marks by shippers, calling at
tention to the fact that the distribu-
tors and consumers know what they
are getting when they buy products
graded according to the U. s. stand
ards.
Mr.. Bier called attention to the
amount of vegetables being shipped
into the eastern markets from Califor-
MIA and gave as his opinion that Flor
ida can supply the entire eastern mar
kets with vegetables, If these vege-
tables are properly packed so as to
eliminate competition. Mr.. Bier said
he thought that the time was coming
when the banks would loan money on
properly graded and packed vege-
tables just as they no do on properly
graded cotton, tobacco and other non
perishable products,
The marketing committee of the
chamber endorsed a move to establish
a radio broadcasting station at the
University at Gainesville, in order
that market and weather reports
might be more rapidly sent out to the
lgrowers.

1903 LIVES LOST IN
TAEATER COLLAPSE
Heavy Weight Of Snow Causes
Roof to Fall In Upon
Audience.

Washington, D. Cone hundred
and eight lives were lost in the Knick-
erbocker theater Saturday night when
the roof, weighted by more than two
feet of snow, collapsed and buried
patrons of the house under crushing
blanket of coucrete, plaster and steel,
according to official police records
The list of injured stood at 1873, with
IA listed as Seriously injured" OF
the dead, 80 had been identified. The
majority of killed and injured were
local residents.
The exact number in the theater
when the steel and concrete span of
the roof buckled and fell under its
three-foot load of snow probably never
will be known The stories of per-
haps hundred who got out uninjured
have been reported These accounted
for few more than 300 in the audi
ence when the roof fell on them like
a blanket, carrying down the front of
the wide balcony in its crash.
Normally the theater has had every
seat filled at that hour, and nearly
1000 persons was its capacity. The
same unprecedented snowfall which
brought death to the venturesome few
kept many at home. Street-car traffic
had been abandoned and streets and
sidewalks were all but impossible.
