BE CAUTIOUS

We were pleased to read an article
under the above heading in The Florida
Agriculturist not long since, and from
which we take pleasure in quoting as fol-
lows: @a
ave have repeatedly impressed upon
our correspondents, that all exaggerated
statements of what can be done in Florida,
would work us great injury, and we think
our columns will show, that the sugges-
tons have been acted upon, and great
moderation has been exercised IN writing
up our capabilities. Many of our north
ern visitors come among us in mid winter,
fleeing from bitter winds and binding
| SHOWS, and we can and do pardon the
enthusiasm with which they describe our
orange groves and record the wonderful
crops of vegetables from samples they see
at our fairs The majority of those who
write to the northern papers, know little
of the labor that has been expended to
produce the results which they behold;
and even if an attempt is made to reach
the truth, so apt are we to forget the disa-
greeable days of our lives, and recall only
the sunny, that the orange grower, the
vegetable gardener, or the cane planter, is
very Liable to neglect to mention circum-
stances, which at the time of their occur
renee, seemed most discouraging, and
likely to prove insurmountable obstacles
to success. 1t is impossible, of course, by
any kind of writing-or in any other way
for the matter-to make some people count
the cost of the house, before they begin to
build; but let us, who are now trying to
populate Florida, be cautious about CON
cealing the few obstacles that must be
overcome in making a home among us.
To men of family, with sufficient means
to see them through the first few years
with sufficient strength to work-with
brains and willingness enough to learn
from those of more experience, we offer
inducements such as no other State in the
Union offers. To strong, young men, will
ling to work for small wages, compared
to those paid north and west, we offer
homes at but little cost, which, in few
years, will become very valuable. We
advise no person, with a comfortable home,
to break it up from caprice or love of
change. Such people are seldom satisfied
when they move to different locality.
Each person therefore should read atten-
lively and study the question, if it is to be
for their benefit. Those who have done
SO and settled here, are succeeding, while
others are dissatisfied. These are people
who would be discontinued in any place.
Such settlers are of little benefit to us or
to any country they go to, for their con
tinual grumbling, only serves to disheart-
en- others.
Our state has already suffered too much
by lying and deception, and those who
bring people here by those means will
meet their rewards. Let us do so by the
simple truth. The best way, however, of
inducing immigration is by recording
your success and letting others know how
you have succeeded. Be not afraid, how
ever of telling your disappointments, for
they may be a warning to others, and
prevent them from falling into the same
error, or find some means of overcoming
them" 70

Gross daily earnings,
Net daily profits So So.

Worthy Master Eshbaugh, of the Mis-.
souri, State Grange, has this to say of the
Order in that State in letter to the four
nal Of Agriculture,
The Order in Central Missouri is, upon
the whole in healthy condition, not hat
we might wish, nor what it might be, but
perhaps all that could be expected, all
things considered. In many localitieslit is
doing good work, and continually advan-
cling; members are working faithfully for
the good of their own organization; their
aim is to make the Grange a success They
have advanced far enough in the work to
fully realize the necessity of such an or
ganization, they realize its advantages,
and appreciate its benefits and blessings,
and are determined to do their part to has
ten the good time, when it may be fully
realized by every member that the far
mers' organization is success. In these
localities peace and harmony prevail, and
all things work together for good.
