MIAMI, Fla, June 19.-Pack-
aging, canning and freezing plants
that would help to eliminate
blatted vegetable markets in the
Everglades, and the packaging OF
finished Florida beef were fore.
seen today by Clarence r. Bit
ing, former president of the Unit
ed States Sugar Corp, as two
possible new developments that
would add growth and payrolls
to South Florida.
Back in Florida for the first
time since his resignation as pres
ident of the sugar company last
rnnoth, Biting said he was here
TO investigate four different Flor
ida propositions. He also has had
offers from Latin-AInerica and
the Far East to set up operations
.stressing diversification of prod
ucts, as well as sugar, along the
lines which he has followed dur
ing the past fifteen years at Clew-
iSton.
Without being able 10 reveal
details at this time. Biting said
one of the Florida propositions
entaiied operation of large
vegetable acreage along with
the establishment of plants that
would help solve the problem
of glutted markets and provide
an outlet for products that have
passed their peak condition.
With production of high grade
beef rising rapidly in Florida, he
foresaw possibilities for greatly
Increased distribution of Florida
beef, particularly in the prepara-
ton of cuts ready for the table.
/ He pointed to the potentialities
inherent in the up-grading of cat
tie here and the states ability to
iprovide its own finish-food.
+ AS proof of the great future
awaiting South Florida, Biting
listed these six accomplishments
of the sugar corporation during
his fifteen years as president:

He is not captive, but lives in
his own habitat in absolute free
dom. He doesn't have to per-
form if he doesn't want to and
even the guides themselves can
not tell you why he does or why
he doesn't leave the springs as
do thousands of other fish.
As our boat approached the
spot where the pole rests on the
bottom some 80 feet under wa

Henry. Through the glass we
could see Henry, a stable black
bass. motionless but for an occa-
sional wave of his fins, holding
his position short distance from

urging the fish to Jump the pole
