All grain crops are suf- fering very much, The hills are still brown, and the cattl. can hardly find feed in the pastures. Of course, all vegetable gardens, alfalfa fields and citrus orchards are under irrigation system, and are not suffering. There has been less than three inches of rain since last May. The weather has bLeen freakish. Since the very cold wave of late De- cember the weather has been very hot at times. Now comes another cold wave and a temperature of above zero is again reported at San Benar- dino, which is in the heart of the southern (alifornia orange belt. Florida has been especially favored this son., Plenty of rain to make »season.” No danger of spring drouth. Not an orange touched by frost.

The demand for celery ls very heavy, Assistant Sales Manager Deck- man of the Florida Citrus Exchange says: “There is a great call for cel- ery from all over the country. We are even having inquiries from Tex- as, itself a celery-raising state. From the big cities of the middle west, the call Is constant and increasing, “The Kastern seaboard cities can- not get enough for present wants, There appears to be no holdover stock In storage anywhere in the country. The California crop was light, and has been badly damaged by frost. In fact, Florida seems to be IT in the celery deal as well as in oranges. “We are having no trouble at all in getting all orders we can fill for fancy celery, 6 dozen per crate and large: at $3.50 for Manatee crates and § for the smaller size, Choice celery smaller size, when rightly packed, sells for $2.75 and $3.
