serious business Of catching fish.
In the legislature at Austin, when

divided on the bill defeated IN the
legislature that would have permit
ted the State Commissioner Of
Agriculture to place a ban on ship
ment Of Florida citrus fruit nur-
sery stock into this state. Some said
the rivalry and jealousy existing
between the two contemporary Sec
tons cropped out in the debate.
The section known as the Rio
Grande Valley was behind the leg
islation, while the Winter Garden
District was opposed TO It. Rep.
Polk c. Hornaday OF Harrington
sponsored the bill in the House
and Rep. A. p. Johnson Of Carrie

position in the Senate.
Hornaday argued that the Rio

citrus fruit trees, valued at $4,000
600, against $50. 900 trees valued at
100000 in the Winter Garden and
told his colleagues that since his
region was affected TO a greater
extent they should vote with him,
but a majority went with Johnson
and turned the bill down. Johnson
said that his people wanted 10 but
trees from Florida II they could get
good stock at a reasonable price.
He contended that IL was a scheme
on the part OF Valley nurserymen
