‘hows in the neighborhood of 750
nfested groves farms or premises,
extending all the way from the

outskirts of Jacksonville to within
25 miles of Tampa, and spreading
from the Atlantic ocean, the keys
and islands outside of Indian river,
almost over to the Panasofka

Most of this territory has been
cleaned up as soon as it was re
ported. and at once got its first
spraying. The spraying will follow
each ten days during the summer,
furnishing more and more food for
the stray flies, as the fruit foods
disappear and drive the pest to

Inspection of all baggage leaving
the Mediterranean fruit fly quaran
tine stations was’ put into effect
Monday rooming, w th a view to •
stopping the smuggling of contra- i
hand fruits into and out of the
district. This practice has become
very aggravating to the state mili
tary natrol and to such local pow
ers which are trying to prevent the
carrvinz of host fruits from one
place to another.
This has been found to be espe
cially heavy as regards the import
ing of the new cron of Georg* 1
peaches into the state
The inspection was taken care of
by the installing of officers author
ized bv the plant board, to conduct
the work of examining each niece
of baggage and giving a certificate I
of clearance. This clearance has to
be presented at the ticket offices
before the traveler will be sold

FLORIDA PUTS BAN
ON GEORGIA PEACHES
WINTER GARDEN. Fla.. June 13
—The first seizure of large ship
ments of Georgia peaches, under (
the recently declared quarantine
against all stonefruits by the Flor
ida state plant board, has been
made in Tampa, where truckers
who were engaged in hauling bulk
oranges out of the citrus belt have
started bringing in bulk peaches
from the Georgia peach belt.
Much of the spread of the Medi
terranean fly has been attributed
to the methods of bulk orange buy
ers, of shaking trees and then
cleaning un the ground cf all
fruit, which was hauled Into an
other county or state and then sold -
from house to house
The state board, during the earl?
days of the quarantine, declared an
absolute embargo against bulk
movement of oranees. either intra- ;
or inter-state. The truckers had .
planned on two-way service haul
ing oranges out of th* slate, and
peaches and poultry into it.
Tampa fruit dealers are at saa
as to what action to take, or
authority they might possess to
take any action at all. The sov
ereignty of th? state and fedrral j
quarantine seem to be questioned e* -:
ery time a new industry is affected
The Tapipans say that In a normal
season there are from eight to ten
carloeds of Georgia peaches con
sumed each week. The same figures
apply to central Florida. The cit
rus belt populace consumes from
ten to 15 cars each week, in nor- j
mal vears. but this year has ae
cented the inevitable, and will do
without fresh peaches.
The state quarantine against ail
stone fruits was declared last r^k
at a special meeting of the state
plant board
