Florida growers and shippers are almost
unanimous in demanding that the stand,
ard be maintained.
Early Shipments From Valley
Florida grapefruit r;pens from three
to four weeks ahead Of the Valley, but
there are some Valley growers and ship
pers who apparently have the idea thew
should beat Florida onto the market
regardless Of the quality of the fruit
they ship, and it is this proclivity on the
part Of a few that makes the passage
of a law similar to that of Florida i'm
>perative, if the industry in the Valley
is to be developed. F..
This season some of the Valley grow
ers and shippers began TO place their
grapefruit on the market early in Oc-
tober. Florida shippers had refused to
handle fruit prior to October 10, but
this did not deter some of the Valley
growers. Hundreds of boxes Of i'm
mature fruit were shipped out, much Of
it artificially cOlored, and in less than
two weeks the "soonets" had pounded
the Houston market down from 50 per
box to $3.50. For the first time in the
history OF the industry Valley grape
fruit sold at q lower price on the Hous-
ton market than Florida fruit.
The aim Of the bill to be presented at
the coming session, which will be along
the same lines as the more stringent
law Florida will pass this year, is to
prevent the shipment of immature fruit
and the consequent Generalization OF
the markets.
Valley grapefruit is far superior to
that of either Florida or California
fact which is generally conceded BY the
growers Of those states, and in order
to n ~aintain the Valley quality it may be
necessary to fix higher standards than
are provided in the Florida measure, and
to impose strict penalties upon growers
or shippers who violate the law. The
shipment Of fruit which does not come
up to the standard in sugar and acid
contents ana ccloring tends to injure
the industry by lowering the. standard
and demoralizit& the markets, and grow
ers and shippers who desire to see the
industry developed uron--a profitable
basis are almost unanimous in demand
ing that these standards be fixed By
law ard the law rigidly enforced.

GRABECK AGAIN UP
 ON POLICE CARPET
Policeman Accused Of Striking
 Man Without PrOYOCatiOn

Patrolman William J, Grabeck, for the second time within two weeks, was given hearing by the discipline board of the police commission last night on a complaint preferred by l. S. Koplowitz, who alleged that inc policeman assaulted him on Hart ford avenue last Saturday night without provocation or reason. Kop- lowitz alleged that the police were making an arrest and crowd gathered around, the policeman or derinG the spectators 10 move along, kop plowitz claimed that he started to go but evidently he did not go fast enough to suit Grabeck. so the po- liceman is alleged to have hit him with his club.
 Several members of the complain ants family appeared before the commissioners to corroborate the testimony of Koplowitz. Grabeck de- nied that he had struck the man with his club, saying that he pushed him back when Koplowitz failed to heed his order to move. Four men appeared 10 testify for Grabeck. The board will record its finding in the matter at the next meeting of the full board of commissioners,
 Grabeck was before the board about two weeks ago, a man named Weir making a similar complaint against his conduct at a football game at Memorial field. The com- paint was dismissed on that occa- sion, the commissioners deciding that 1t was simply case where the po- liceman had to use force to make the men obey his orders.

MILK INCREASES
Production In New England Shows Gain of 4.3 Per Cent, According To Government Figures.

Wakefield, Mass, Nov. 22.-Milk production increased 4.3 per cent in the month of October, according to reports received at the New England
 crop reporting service in the U. $. department of agriculture and made public today, it was stated. How ever, that "the present rise in milk
 production apparently is for short time, and is due to COWS freshening on dairy farms operated for winter production"
 Grain prices, the report said, con- tinue hign with little prospect of immediate decline. Continuing the report said: The United States corn crop is very short: the world wheat
 crop is enough below current de- mand to hold prices high; improving political and business conditions in
 Europe are stimulating demand there. The outlook for substantial
 business improvement in this coun- try will favor better prices for dairy products. Potatoes in New England
 and the United States are a bumper Icrop."
