Pepper Growing In
Florida Popular

WINTER GARDEN. Fla, Aug. Is.
Growers whose hobby has been
the growing Of peppers have decided
ia Toxic a flyer in that crop again
for the coming winter season even
though all their irrigated farms lay
within infstede zones. They have
just finished putting out extensive
seed beds with a view to planning
for TRANSFORMING for fruit early in
September. Under the original rul-
ing Of the quarantine board peppers
were embargoed not only for the
non-hoSt period but also for the
winter season. The ruling on pep
pers was more severe than was the
original on oranges but since Secre-
tary of Agriculture Hyde has taken
a personal hand in the agricultural
chaos which was created. the pep
per growers argue they ough TO be
allowed to grow peppers between
the months of November and April
just as citrus growers in infested
zones will be allowed to market
their crop under restrictions.
At any rate. they have planted
enough seed beds to take care OF
several hundred acres when trans
planted. They add that il the plant
board insists on non-production Of
peppers in the infested areas in
winter. they can sell the plants to
other sections where the restrictions
are not so drastic. Indications are
that the peppers crop from Central
Florida will far exceed that Of last
year If growth is allowed during the
winter months. South Florida even
as far as the new Everglades lands,
is going in strong for peppers.

WHEAT LOWER
ON INCREASING
SUPPLY NEWS
Western Reports Are That
SidetraCkS Are Full
of Grain.
BIZ United Press

BIZ HitCd Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 6. Wheat
dropped fractionally again at The
opening today. Visible supply is af-
fecting the buying side of the trade
and there is very little demand. Corn
became independent of wheat at the
opening for the first time in several
days and made slight advances in
price. Oats dropped off slightly.
At the opening wheat was un-
changed to Is cent off; corn was
unchanged to Is cent higher, and
oats was down 4 to Is cent.
Reports coming in from the west
say that all sidetracks are full of
wheat and the winter wheat in Chi
cago Monday totaled 1929 cars and
the feeling apparently among
traders is to go slow on the buying
side Weather conditions are about
unchanged in Canada and as yet it
is impossible to tell whether the
frost of Monday morning has a
damaging effect on the crop. Win
nipeg is about "a cents lower than
due.
The situation in corn is little
changed from Monday. Rains are
still badly needed in the southwest
and especially Kansas and Nebraska,
while Missouri got some rain last
night.
Oats still are reacting with wheat
and has been making fractional de-
clines with not q lot of support on
the long side. There is APPARENTLY
a shortage, however, and exports in
the trade believe that the best prices
are yet to come.

Cutting of Rye and Barley
Started in Manitoba
This Week.

BIZ Times Special
WINNIPEG. Aug. 6.-With the
rapid approach of harvest through
out the western provinces, the hot,
dry weather of the last week has
not improved the crop outlook in
any respect, according to the weekly
crop report of the Canadian Ma
tional Railways.
Sections which had previously re-
ported conditions as fair, now COM
plain of a too rapid ripening of
crops with a consequent depreci-
ated outlook unless relieved by rain.
Other areas which have suffered
persistently from drouth during the
growing season appear to be able
to appraise more accurately their
losses and to determine which crops
shall be ploughed down and which
shall be left for thrashing.
