as" Mr. Eycrs says. at is difficult
at this time to state just what the
prospects for the marketing Of the
1926 crop will be. although il is hoped
that the following facts will throw
some light upon the situation:
First shipments IN the United
States originate from the lower east
coast of Florida. During last season
over $500 cars wer' shipped to diff
ferent parts Of the country from this
section alone. Heavy rains during
December and again the first part
of the year caused very severe dam
age to the crop. 50 that the total
shipments out Of the Florida east
coast section will not exceed 1900
ears this season. IN like manner,
paintings in the Lake Okcc aobee dis
trict were set back BY the unfavor-
able weather conditions and ship
ments will be greatly delayed.
Acreage Lighte-.
''The acreage in Manatee county
and Ocala district will also bc lighter,
so that for the entire state OF Flor

to only 10000 acres compared with

"The condition of the plants in the

mately $50 cars. The total movement
out Of the state amounted to 1881

Silver Won After
10 Rounds of Fast
Fight in Brawley

Louie Silver proved too tall, or Joe
Rivers was too short in the main
event at Brawlev last night, and the
decision went to Silver after 10
rounds of good serapping. Both
boys tried hard to score knockout
all through the fight, and the fans
were kept on edge as the gloves flew
fast and furiouslv.
Al Brown who is hitting harder
than ever this year, scored 4 quick
knockout over Johnny Lee, the lit
re San Diego Filipino, putting him
en- the canvas in one minute and 80
seconds, with a heftv right to the
chin. The opinion prevailed at
the ringside that Johnny is being
used too much these days and that
a rest will do him good. Brown
looked better than ever and has
been signed up for a bout with Kid
Mex, his old adversary, next week.
Two good preliminaries kept the
fans interested throughout the early
part of the card.

Their Certificates

Stock certificates of the Standard
oil Company of California were dis
tribute to co valley employees of
the company at n dinner held in
the Barbara Worth Hotel last
night, the distribution being made
by W. r. Donaldson of San Diego,

through the company's stock invest
ment and savings plan. ,976
shares with n market value of $2S,-
100000 being obtained by the en-
ployees in this manner.
The plan was initiated by the
company five years ago for the pur-
pose of assisting employees to be
come stockholders and encourage
thrift, according to. f. A. Lane,
manager of the FL Centric branch
Under the plan the employee was
permitted to apply up to 20 per cent
of his salary to purchase of stock
the amount he secified being de-
ducteG from his salary each month.
For each dollar so deposited, the
company added as Il bonus 80 cents
from its own funds.

tions arising from the consolidation
of the Standard Oil Company and

participate S5.77 per cent took part.

gratifying to the management of
the company. The long period of
saving has revealed in Standard
