to the groves was very small, as
very few trees we're unrooted and
branch and leaf damage was con-
fined mostly to the trees in the

the brunt of the wind.
Expect a Good Deal
It is expected that the seasons
crop will move smoothly and with
more alacrity. and also bring better
prices than ever before owing to
the formation of a citrus clearing
house. The clearing house expects
to regulate the distribution of so

Its principal objects are: To stand

Florida citrus fruit; TO increase
consumes demand for Florida fruit
by nationwide advertising; TO reg

ida fruit: TO collect crop-picking,
shipment and marketing information
and make il available to all ship
pers 50 that they al more intelli-

Lower Freight Rates
This years citrus crop will 90 to
northern markets under lower rail-
road rates. due to a new citrus
schedule granted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which will
go into effect November Q. and will
mean a saving Of close to S1,00O,0O0

schedule is the result OF a four
year fight for rail rate revision by
Florida citrus interests.
Inspection Service
Inspection service should be very
adequate this season, as both the
state and the clearing house have
provided for excellent service so
that the fruit will be up to the
standard of official requirements.

said that some Of the off-sizes of

"As usual with a declining market,
nearly all concerned were refusing

asserted they would lay in no more
