Total ABOUT GREEN FRUIT AND RAILROAD RATES Washington, Nov, 3.—(Special)— There is a lot of nonsense belng printed about the poisonous qualities of unripe fruit. Any one who can remember back to his youthful con- sumption of greet apples knows that there was seldom a.colie in it, but warfare among rival fruit men has led to a lot of “loose talk” on the subject, It's foolish to eat green fruit, but hardly ‘“poisonous.” Fruit is making quite a bit of noise in the news columns of late. Even the highest courts are getting Yangled up with fruit rates and things, while the tariff remains a real problem to the farmer and fruit Erowers, Commerce Court's Act. The decision of the Commerce that the railroads may con- to charge $1.15 per hundred pounds on oranges from California to the Kast, although the Interstate Commerce Commission said that $1 was enough, led the Fruitman's Guide to say editorially: “California’s and Florida's very logical question nowadays is: *‘Were the railroad rates made for map or was man made for the railroad rates?" The same publication remarks: “We quote from a speech of Pres- ident Taft on the livered at Pomona, Cal.: “We have a rule in the can party that if there is a difference between the cost of production here | and the cost of production you are entitled to a tariff that will equal s0 as to give you an opportunity for a living fight with the competitors from abroad under changed conditions.” LUTHERAN CHURCH UNDER WAY | The walls of the Lutheran church are beginning to go up and all indi- cations point to the building being a very handsome and creditable one.

Much interest is being manifested among all those who are in any way connected with the citrus industry of Florida, in the approaching meets ing to be held tomorrow at Orlando, on the citrus question, It is expected that it will be one of the most important meetings in the citrus interest ever held in the State, The meeting was primarily called to take steps to offset the un- fortunate telegrams sent out early last month by the Citrus Exchange, in which early oranges were char- acterized as poisonous, and which has had a depressing effect on the sale of Florida oranges in the large cities of the country. Interested in Meet. News comes that citrus growers and interment Wil g a) goctions of the State are deeply interested in the approaching meetings and will attend (he Orlan- do meeting. Handiers of the Florida crop in many of the cities of the country have also exhibited great interest in the meeting and a num- ber of them expect to have represen- tatives present, It is now probable that the con- vention Saturday will consider per- manent organization of the citrus in- terests of Florida and prepare to tuke definite steps to advance this great Florida industry in every pos- sible way.
