HASTINGS. Fla, Jan. 19.-Much

started planting potatoes on a
large scale generally throughout
this district and by the middle or
later part OF this week will reach
the peak Of planting.
Some few acres were planted be-
fore Christmas, but the grand rush
started Wednesday and Thursday OF
last week. 1t Is said that the Fed
eral Point section, comprising about
T50 acres is at least 30 or 95 per
cent planted. This is considered the
early producing section In the belt,
but growers were later planting
this year than usual.

mas, and some Of the earliest plant
ings are already above the ground,
Estimates show that about 1000
acres were planted in that section
last year and there will be practi-
cally no cut in acreage this year.
The Hastings potato belt. as gen.
orally conceded. includes st. Johns,
Putnam. Flsgler, Alachua and Clay
counties and it Is estimated viii
pplsnt approximately $4,000 acres &c
potatoes this year rs compared with
$4,000 acres in 1928. The largest

acres are planted to cabbage and
other crops.

Az . recent conference OF Cameron

b. Seago, county clerk, was re-
qQested TO formulate such changes
as are necessary 90 relieve the Val
ley of the discrimination created By
existing laws. Lenders in the move
mcnt contend that while the pres
emit laws serve fairly we'll in other
parts OF the state, they are too gen
eral and nc not applicable TO local
condition..
"The principal objection to the
present laws is the fact they are
expected TO cover too wide a scope"
II. b. Seaxo said. Texas is a large
xtate. Conditions in the Lower Rio
Grsnde Valley are radically differ
emit from those in other parts OF
the state. What We want is a law

Whether it will be necessary TO

ascertained. The state is now di-

Chief George s. Watson inspected
the new Casualty Hospital Ruilding
yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Dougherty has donated a
room on the third floor of the new
building for the use of firemen and
policemen. Following the inspec-
ton tour Major Pratt gave DR..
Joseph d. Rodgers. president of the
hospital, a. check for $500 to he used
in furnishing a room in the new
institution.
The new wing, capable of accom-.

completed Officials of the institu-
ton used every cent in their treas
ury and then borrowed 800 900 to
complete the building. Now they
lack funds with which to furnish

DIR. Rogers said he felt sure that
the public would see that the hos
pital was furnished so that it can
be ready for use when workmen pro-
nounce it completed. Casualty Hos

The latest proposal to stiffen the
prohibition enforcement laws by
extreme penalties threatened to
split the drys, of the House as well
as place many outstanding vets
in an embarrassing position.
The Miller bill is the direct out
growth of the killing of Ottmer
Fleming. 21-year-old suspected rum
runner. by Patrolman Clyde o.
Rouse. who shot through a smoke
screen let out from Flemins's car.
Rouse is held for, Grand Jury action
and pnss. BILE trial for murder.
Sees Crime Run Wild
While the drys have split over
the propriety of the House ap-
plauding the killing, the vets have
sprung forward with bitter condem-
nation of the action. Some of the
leading vets, however. declined to
commit themselves on the Miller
bill.

killed an escaping yiolator of the

don't protect policemen who kill
someone in the line of duty the

About the only alternative to
meeting the demands of the union
lied employees is the employment of
non-union men. according to most
of the contractors. If it should be
found that the strike is effective
non-union labor will be resorted to
to continue work on projects al
ready started.
The contractors, represented in
the newlyformed Master Builders
Association met today in the Bond
Building. The association had be-
fore 1t ostensibly the task of com.
pleting it's organization by adoption
of a constitution and bylaws.
Committees Named
This formality was completed in
short order, and the meeting dis
solved itself into committee for
discussion of the wage demands and
strike of the union employees.
No announcement of any decis-
ions made was given. but Edwin II.
Rosengarten, president of the asso-
citation, before the meeting. de-
clared that non-nnion labor was
the only thing that would keep the
building projects now in operation
going.
Continued rain again today made
it impossible to determine the
extent to which the union employees
had carried out their threat to
walk out Yesterday.
Rain Blocks Check.Up
The strike was to have become
effective yesterday, but most of
the building trades do not work on
rainy days. so that it was impos-
sible to estimate to what extent the
men were remaining away from
their jobs because of the strike
order or because of the rain.
The first clear day will give both
contractors and leaders of the strik-
ers an opportunity to judge of the
condition.

POLICE REPORT
On GAMING

Reports of precinct captains in re.
gard to places raided in the past al
gaming establishments together with
those suspected of housing such
activities started coming in to Major
Henry G. Pratt, superintendent Of
police yesterday.
Contents of the reports are not
being made public.
1t is believed likely, however, as
soon as all reports have been re.
ceived, that a concerted drive on
places reported will be instituted in
all precincts. There are said to be
hundreds of such establishments In
operation and Major Pratt has de-
clared that they must go.
1t was in this order issued several
weeks ago that Major Pratt laid
down the law. so to speak, to all
precinct captains in stating that If
such conditions prevailed he wanted
to know the reason why. He also
indicated that such activities indi-
Gated either gross neglect on the part
of the officer on the beat, who should
know of such places, or lack of
ability on the officers in charge.
