FLORIDA
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA,
Gainesville.—Sam T. Fleming, agri
culture statistician of bureau of agri
cultural economics, estimates crop
this season in Florida as 12,000,000
boxes of oranges and 8,000,000 boxes
of grapefruit, approximately 10 per
cent increase over last year’s pro
duction of grapefruit. Mr. Fleming
says that, under ordinary circum
stances, similar annual increase can
be expected for next five years due
to increased plantings of grape
fruit.
TAMPA.—Florida citrus shipments
for current season exceed by more
than 1,000 carloads shipments made
up to this date last year, according
to weekly citrus review of George
A. Scott, general sales manager of
Florida Citrus Exchange. Grapefruit
movement now totals 4.036 cars, in
crease of 914 cars over shipments
made up to November 17 last year.
Orange movement totals 2,592 cars,
as against 2,494 cars last year.
SANFORD —Agreement has been
reached by distributing concerns in'
Sanford to have government inspec
tion on all cars of perishables ship
ped from this section. Announce
ment is made as result of recent
meeting, at which it was agreed
that this, more than anything else,
would act as protectoin against
loose plans of operation which, a:
present, are a great evil.
Inspection by government inspec
tors is made at cars and certificates
are issued showing grade, condi
tion and quality as well as condi
tion of car and equipment. This cer
tificate is valuable to shipper and
grower in making sales, in present
ing claims to railroads, and in mak
ing adjustments on cars that are
off grade.
TALLAHASSEE.—Next session of
legislature will see renewal of fight i
for $50,000,000 bond issue, proceeds
to be used in building hard-surfaced
highways throughout state, accord-!
ing to present indications. Bill to
that effect was introduced at last
session by Senator E. J. Etheridge,
of Highlands county, but failed. Sen
ator Etheridge says interest in con
struction of better roads is grow
ing to such extent that he antici
pates less opposition to such bill by
legislature in 1925.
TALLAHASSEE. Gov. Hardee
appoints members of commission,
authorized by last legislature to
codify Florida laws regarding child
welfare. Commission will make rec
ommendations to next legislature.

AN OBLIGING
BEAUTY DOCTOR
A Beauty Specialist Gives Home-
Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
beauty specialist of Kansas City, re
cently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
“Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will darken
gray hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To a half-pint of water add
1 ounce of bay rum, a small box
of Barbo Compound and 1-4 ounce of
glycerine.
“These ingredients can be pur
chase! at any drug store at very lit
tle cost. Apply to the hair twice
a week until the desired shade is
obtained. This will make a gray- I
haired person look twenty years I
younger. It does not color the scalp, ■
is not sticky or greasy and will not
rub off.” —(Advertisement.)

Juice the Dewberry is giving the Concord grape a close race,
