IMPROVED FRUIT
AND MORE OF IT
NOW PREDICTED
c. H. Walker, Manager Of the Polk
County Exchange, Is Thor
oughly Optimistic
(BartoW Record.)

| A general meeting of the Polk Coun-
Ity Citrus Exchange attended by the
directors of the Polk County Sub-EX-
changes and also directors of the
various associations, affiliated with
the Exchange, was held Saturday at
ternoon in the City Hall.
Dr. ]. H. Ross, president of the
lFlO ida Citrus exchange and c. r.
Stew; TT. Jr business manager. called
1.-The meeting of the rounty's exchange
which is the largest in the state of
Norida, to discuss with the sub-eX-
lchange and association directors the
and work of the exchange
L., rext season. Each of the twenty
two packing Eorscs in the county was
rep: csentcd at the meeting.
DIR Ross and Nh. Stewart made in
structivc and Interesting talks and
stated that they had visited all the
Ic)unties along the Feast Coast and in
middle Florida, reporting that from
the attitude they had encountered they
exnact4d large increase in exchange
members.
When asked for further information
IN the trend rf talk at the meeting
and on Tie citrus question, c. II. Walk
er gave the following Illuminating
pointers:
Representative from all the asso-
Citations of this district seem to feel
that the present crop is satisfactory
in size and of much better quality
than that of last year ! think there
will be just as much fruit shipped
out of Florida this season as last. The
quality of the grapefruit is better,
this year. and this is because the
groves in these adjacent districts
have been better cared for than in
all other preceding years. People are
waking up to the realization that it
costs just as much, eventually. to
make good fruit as bad. The extra
expensd of developing high class fruit
is small in addition to the cost of pro-
ducing the lower grade.
People interested in citrus culture
continued Mr.. Walker. are planting
mostly oranges now. The extensive
grapefruit planting was done about
six years ago. Reports are optimistic
this year will be the best the grow
.tTS nave ever udu anu lllOlt lluil
will be eaten and it will be ready to
ship sooner, some as early as Sep
TENDER"
The Exchange plans to advertise
more extensively, this year, according
to Mr.. Walker, due to certain condi-
| tons the outlook is bright for the
grower.
At this time last season, he says,
California started shipping approx
mately ten thousand cars of fruit.
which was moved from the first OF
August up into November. This year
they will market very little fruit and
probably be through moving their sum
mer Valencias the first of Septem-
Der.
FLORIDA will have practically the
only fruit in the markets during the
early part of the shipping season, Oc-
tober and November. California will
not be able to put much fruit on the
markets before the holidays. This
raucity of western fruit is due to the
blighting frost which affected their
whole bearing section last winter
Though the frost hurt the crop it
failed to hurt the trees irreparably
as is usually the case. and they like
many others will be revived and come
into full fruition again"

Death of Mrs. Anna Whitcomb
(Mrs. Fletcher, correspondent)

|
Many hearts were sad when the
news of Mrs. Anna Whitcomb's
death was learned. She passed away
July 8 at her home of bright's disease
after two years of suffering. She had
a toreboding that she would not get

advised. At last seeing that she was
failing she wished to try the hos
pltal. Mr. Whitcomb made arrange
ments and they went to the Mary
Fletcher hospital. After six weeks
and seeing that she was no better
she wished to come back to her home
while able. For few days she
seemed little better, the pleasure
of having her dear ones around her
seemed to give her the strength that
medical care could not, but as she
again began to lose strength she sent
for her son, Lewis, and family. who
live in Greenfield, Mass. She only
lived three weeks after coming home
from the. hospital. She was one of
family of ten children, the seventh

GUS operation at the Mary Fletcher
hospital. She was in her first year
at the U. V. M She made arrange
nents for her children to finish their
schooling, even the brothers child,
who knew no mother but her. She
gave the same love and care, looking
out for her as she is not as strong as
her children.
She had for the past few years
been, the head of Mr.. Whitcomb's
brothers home and had always been
a great comfort and help to his aged
parents while they lived She was
a person who could always see the
things that would give help and joy
and went ahead and done them, and
the flowers sent by friends and neigh
bors showed her kindness had been
appreciated. The friends gathered to
show their last respects was a fitting
tribute. The funeral service was
preached by an old schoolmate, Elder
Vern ODef, ana the burial was IN
charge of Harry Wakefield of John
son. The bearers were Willard and
William Boyes and Louis and Fred
Whitcomb.

While some other district schools
of the county may have surpassed
Buckeye for a period in some line,
it is question whether any of
them maintained as high a stand
ard of endeavor and achievement
for so long a time as did this school
during the 40 years following its
organization. For many years the
Buckeye Lyceum" was famed
through the surrounding country.
The school and the district and
the pupils as a body had certain
generally recognized individuality
Buckeye had definite meaning and
the school and the district for which
it stood, had the love and loyalty
of the boys and girls who attended
that school. Always there was a
Buckeye" spirit and strong bond
of fellowship among the pupils.
If a novelist of the future should
wish to place in his story true de-
scription of an Ohio district school
of the highest type, the materials
could be found in this district and
school as they were in the 20 years
following the Civil war.
