Our Indian River Correspondent.

Editor Florida Agricatlturist:
The present Winter has been re-
markable from the amount of cool
weather,as compared with the Winters
passed. Although we have had no
real cold weather-our thermometer
marking 320 as the lowest ON one oc-
casion-yet on an average OF once a
week, the wind would Yeer around to
the N. W., when we would have three
days of cool weather the thermometer
being down among the forties every
morning retarding the vegetable
growth generally, and of our garden
particularly. When the theymome-
ter got down to 800 no damage was
done worth mentioning, owing to the
fact that high wind was blowing
all night. On the morning of the
Goth OF January,the thermometerwas
down to 800 and then is when our
gardens suffered. irish potatoes
nearly knee high were killed to the
ground, the tender growth of some
Of our guava bushes was nipped,
while the banana leaves were gener-
ally scorched. When we take into
consideration the severe oold of the
northwest, and in fact to the north
of us in our own State, we consider
we were most fortunate, and can con-
gratulate ourselves that it was no
worse.
There is something peculiar about
the freaks of Jack Frost, that is
worthy Of note. A guava bush just
in front of our door was not touched,
the young and tender growth, was
apparently not retarded in the least,
another bush just twelve feet distant
was SO severely frosted as to kill the
ends of nearly all the limbs. Again
out of one hundred odd tomatoes
growing in our garden some twenty
five were killed to the ground, scat
tered here and there over the plat,
while the balance was untouched.
No damage whatever was done
any member of the citrus family as
far as can learn.
We have been asked by several
parties, the publishers of the AGRlCUL-
TURIST among the number, what the
present crop OF Indian River oranges
is. 1t is an item that we wished to
ascertain and publish believing it
would do our section some good, and
we have addressed all the owners OF
bearing groves on the river, but up
to date, we have only received one
reply and that far from satisfactory.
1t is impossible to go and inspect
each grove personally, and if the own
ers do not take enough interest in
the matter to invest in one cent
postal card ,and three minutes OF time,
why the desired information will not
be obtained.
The Winter has been very dry
one, but week ago the windows
Of heaven" were opened and we had
enough rain to saturate our portion
OF mother earth thoroughly. The
consequence is that we are now very
busy setting out orange trees, and all
our neighbors are ditto. From day
light to dark, we are hard at work
SO that we gladly welcome Sunday as
indeed "a day Of rest"

ORANGE COUNTY FAIil.
A Fine Exhibition and q Large
Attendance.

Beginning on Tuesday, the 18th
INST, and closing on the Friday even
ing following, was held at Fort
Reed, Orange County's first Fair;
and from the interest we have all
along taken in this Fair, we are graf
flied to be able now to record. that it
was grand, glorious success, and
everybody was delighted with it.
The 10th and 11th being rainy aud
unfavorable, prevented many living
in distant portions of the county both
from sending exhibits or attending
in person, otherwise the exhibits
would have more than filled the linn
its prepared for them. AS it was,
nearly every branch of industry in
the county was represented, and
an exhibition was presented that
Brought 4orthwords of commentator
from every person in attendance.
On Monday, the vegetables as they
were brought in, were placed on the
long table through the center of the
main hall, but as the entries in this
department increased on Tuesday
morning, they were all removed to
the long table in the shed outside.
When all were arranged, they made
the largest display of the finest vege-
tables wo ever saw at any county fair
and much finer than at any previous
State Fair in Florida. This is saying
considerable, for the partial exhibits
of county in which many have been
insisting that garden vegetables can
not be successfully raised. TIE large
array of ruta bagas, tu nips and
sweet potatoes, nearly all weighing
from to 10 pounds, radishes at
Is pounds, cabbage 20 pounds; nice
Irish potatoes, lettuce, ripe tomatoes
parsnips, carrots, pumpkins,-in fact
nearly everything in the vegetable
line, was spread out in great quanti-
ties, demonstrating the adaptability
Of the soil and climate of Orange
county for this branch Of industry.
If this, vegetable show could have
been exhibited iu New York City
at this time Of gear, it would have
started hundreds of truck gardeners
to our county to engage in the busi-
ness.
Field crops were represented by
mammoth sugar cane, good corn, oats,
cotton, rice, cassava, hay, arrow root,
sugar, syrup, ETC., making a credita-
BILE and satisfactory display.
FRUIT DEPARTMENT..
The show in this department was
good, but not one-tenth what it
should have been. Still there were
exhibited oranges, lemons, grape
fruit, pine-apples, Japan plums, straw
berries, ETC., in very tempting array.
The Horticultural display from Bel
air, and by Mr.. Rantoul from Chas.
Amory's place, of live semi-tropical
fruits, and plants in pots, was very
fine, and added greatly to the interest
of the Fair, and ornamentation of
the hall.
HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT AND
NEEDLE AND FANCY WORK.
These departments, thanks to the
fair ladies, were a surprise and Joy
to all beholders. The exhibits filed

real pleasure to linger there. and look
