OT Florida's lowlands are yielding a golden har vest for formers who have turned to celery as a cash crop. Although this season has been considered by celery growers as an "off year." upwards of 65.000.000 has poured Into farmers' pockets for tho approximately 8,000 oar looc of celery shipped out of tho state. Sanford, which ordinarily ships about 20 per cent of the nation's crop, sent out this spring about fi.OOO cars, by rail, truck and water the rail shipment being 4.980 cars. Rail shipments from the state totaled 7,902 cars. Florida, California In Race Florida and California have been neck and neck in celery shipments tor the past decade, with New York state third and Michigan fourth. Florida and California begin harvest ing their crops in February and end shipments by the middle ot May. The New York and Michigan crops are ready tor harvest during the summer. Sanford has been for many years the leading celery shipping center of Florida. Sarasota, however, has forged to the front within the past few years, and this season shipped nearly 25 por cent ot the state's crop. One Grower Ships 1,179 Curs The total shipments from Saraso ta county were in round numbers, 1,800 cars, with 1,179 cars produced by a single grower the Palmer Farms. The Palmers have spent large sums draining and adapting their large tract to celery production and thlB year's crop, while not so large as that of last year, has brought good returns, through co-operative selling. Florida growers this season ship ped their celery to markets as far west as Denver, north to Duluth and Detroit and east to New York and Portland, Me. Later in tho year, Michigan and New York celery prob ably will be ottered on Florida markets. Our Men's SUITS Have Marching Orders 1 , They Are Moving Out $498 $16.75 J. C.
