HARLINGEN, July ia bulle-
tin OF the Growers and Shippers
League OF Florida received here
shows that there has been a ire
mendous increase in the amount OF
Florida citrus transported by boat
and truck.
1t is shown by the leagues ana
lysis that boats and trucks distri-
buted a greater percentage Of the
citrus crop for the season every
month except September. Boats and
trucks handled So per cent Of the
citrus.
When trucks are left out Of the
picture and Just boats and rails are
compared, the league shows that a
greater percentage Of citrus was
distributed all-rail in only three
months out OF the nine months in
cluded In the survey. The months
dominated by the railroads were
September, October and December.
The boats carried a heavier ton
mage in November, February, March
and May. 1t was $3.50 between rails
and boats In the other two months,
April and January.
OF the distribution by boat, 81
per cent went 10 four eastern ports.
Five per cent went TO eastern trunk
line and New England destinations,
two per cent TO New Orleans and
one per cent TO miscellaneous
American and Canadian destina-
tons.

STIMULATED BY
CHICAGO'S FAIR
Displays and Villages of
Foreign Nations
Credited.

Although A Century Of Progress
fair has passed on. its influence is
again noticeable this summer. Thou
sands Of Americans. given a taste of
old country delights seen by visiting
/ the fair, are making their dreams
come true by seeing the places in
the original.
Tourist agents will agree that
Chicago's World Fair had great in
fuence on travel to foreign parts.
This influence took two major forms
First. by visiting the foreign villages
and the official exhibits Of the various
governments the fair visitors had
their interest in travel aroused. Sec
ond, the villages educated them as
to what to expect in the different
countries and what would mainly in
terest them. A day spent in villages
graphically showed what each coun-
try had to offer.
In the official exhibits, that is, ex-
hibits sponsored directly by foreign
governments, well informed guides
gave accurate information. Here
the guest saw not ony what the
country had to offer the tourist, but
was supplied with valuable data as
to transportation, hotel rates, cloth
ing needed for the climate, and like
aids.
R. A. Kurtz, travel agent for the
Union Trust Co., 100 E. Market-st,
states that many have asked for in
formation concerning foreign coun-
tries which exhibited at the fair, and
that he will be glad to supply further
facts about any country that one
may desire to visit.
