The Citrus Fair.

1t will be seen by the appended
letter that the people OF Jackson
vile approve OF the contemplated
exhibit of the citrus family in that
city. We do not agree with DR..
Paine's plan of combining the State
fair with the citrus show, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
A great part OF the orange crop is
shipped before Christmas and there
will not be facilities for procuring the
fruit fresh from the trees later than
December, and there arc few of the
growers who will keep over fruit
specially for the occasion. Let there
be an exhibition OF The fruit in De
cember including all varieties of trop-
ical and seini-tropical and any others
grown in the State Let it include
fruit preserved, dried, and in every
method by which it can be put up
and kept over for future use, or as
merchandise, as orange marmalade,
wine, lime and lemon juice, fresh and
concentrated, citric acid, orange peel
dried, orange wood for cabinet work,
oil OF neroli from the blossoms, liq-
uors and essences, ETC., in fact. every
method in which every part of the
fruit and wood can be utilized. Have

grown. Have every variety OF in.

No better example can be found
for the judicious, spirited use of
printers ink, than in the rapid settle
ment of Orange Park, ten miles
above Jacksonville, on the St. Johns
river. Mr.. w. G. Benedict, the sole
proprietor, knows the value of ad-
vertising, and has reaped his reward.

County Finances.

During the late meeting of the
board of County Commissioners, it
was ascertained, that the county f.
nances approximated the following
figures
Debit. including bonds. about 81, 10000

This certainly is very favorable
exhibit, for county, the inhabitants
of which have shown laudable de.
sire to promptly pay all assessments.
We believe that through the wise
administration of our excellent and
efficient Board of Commissioners, it
will not be long, before the county
will be wholly out of debt. Hardly
anything will have greater infiu-
ence to induce immigration and capt.
tai to come to this State, than econo.

and consequent freedom from debt,
giving us a reputable credit, and in
spring confidence in our resources.

To the Public.

We began the new series of the
FLORIDA AGRI CLULTURIsT under
very difficult. circumstances. We
were far away from the conveniences
of the printing business, where if any
accident occurred, it was hard to be
remedied, and those who started the
paper, with great expectations, werein
competent to understand the magnl.
tude of the undertaking. Ours is an
expensive paper to publish, more so
than any weekly paper in the south.
ern states, for the weeklies, sent out
by the dailv papers, are mostly re-
hash Of what has already been issued,
only costing the concentrating of the
work of the week, the sale of their
daily issue, having already compen-
stated them for the composition, while
tce furnish new matter every week.
We found it next to impossible in
city, to edit an Agricultural paper
with credit to ourselves; we had no
means Of trying experiments to veri.
fly the statements sent us, and in re-
moving to the country where we can
grow our own products, overlook cur
own grove, and practically test agri-
cultural ideas and theories, we feel
more confident of giving good ad-
vice, founded on practical experience,
as we make it a point of testing ev-
erything that our contributors favor
us with. Few Of the Agricultural
editors of the most influential papers
in the United States, live in the cities
where the papers are published; they
know full well, that it would be per-
fectly impossible for them to give
information, and they therefore reside
outside among the farming interests
where they can derive the necessary
knowledge. Our paper is not at all
sectional, and we challenge any one
to point out in our pages, when we

Our First Volume.


The first Volume of this new Sc
ries of the FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT,
closes with this number. The first
number Of Volume second, will be
issued next week Wednesday the
2lst, our regular publication day.
From the high enconiums bestowed
upon the paper, verbally and by let
ter, and from its rapidly increasing
circulation all over the country, we
can but believe, that we are giving
a newspaper, pleasing and satisfacto-
ry to its many readers, and all for
the small sum of two dollars. We
shall endeavor to make the second
volume, superior to any of its pred
ecessors, and still more worthy OF
the patronage of the public, sparing
for this desirable end, no pains, time,
or means. Remember that the next
number commences new volume,
and all who wish to subscribe, will,
we trust, send in their names at once.
that they may secure full file and a
complete volume.

trees and fruit, specimens Of the dit
ferent diseases with which the trees
are affected. Invite scientific men to
visit the exhibition to examine and
report. Get agents in other states
where these fruits are grown to pur-
chase the best samples that can be
procured and send them on, in case
the growers in those states. decline
to actswith us. Make the exhibition
one that will teach the citrus growers
| everything connected with the bust
ness, and not be a mere show OF
fruit alone. Three thousand dollars
will not be sufficient, it will take at
least ten thousand to bring 1t up
to the standard where we wish
to see it. Such an exhibition
will bring people. by the thousands
from other places besides the United
States. Surely the wealthy city of
Jacksonville can stand a small sum
like that, potential with great benefit
to the State and others. We have
had our say and see the good that
will result. We have no ak to
grind, let those who are most inter.
ested carry it out. We have set the
ball rolling, let others shove It on
and claim the merit, as has been
done with many of our other sug-
gestions which have been successful.
The following is DR.. Paine's letter
Editors Florida Agricultmist:
/ notice with pleasure, your edito-
rial, advocating a Citrus Exhibition
next Winter in Jacksonville. Our
Association has already made the
proposition, to guarantee $4,000, for
premiums and expen1es, in case the
State Fair is held here next February
or March. Now, is it not feasible to
combine the two movements, and
hold the lair here, say IN January?
If this can be arranged, we will at
once go to work with will, and by
concerted action, organize the largest
and most useful exhibition yet held
in Florida. In the interests espec-
tally of East, Florida and the St.
Johns country, will you not give the
movement lift.

Mr.. LathrOp'S Letter.

we puDllSn leCIer from Cne aooVe
named gentleman, that all parts OF
the State may have an equal chance
of corresponding with the intended
Colony to Florida. There is moth
ing equal to writing up the resources
of the different portions of the State
in the public papers, showing the ma
ture of the land and the facilities for
making homes; also, the success of
those who have settled, and their
method of attaining it. Printers
ink has made up Orange Park, Ores
cen City, and other new towns in the
State, and can do the same
with others Mr.. Lathrop's intended
immigrants need not fear for want of
instruction, on anything they under
take to plant. We are quite pre-
pared to give any information re.

tobacco, for this years crop, but we
will give full particulars in time for
those interested i'll the crop, to pro-
cure the seed, and prepare the ground
for next year. The fine grades of to-
bacco do we'll here and are very prof
liable. We are pleased at all times
to answer correspondents, on these
and kindred topics. Our columns
are open to those who wish to give
the benefit of their experience to
others not so well posted. Tell us
how you succeeded, and at the same
time, give your failures if you have
any, as a warning to others to avoid
the stones over which You stumbled.
Numbers Of people in the north are
looking longingly to this State, as
future home, but are timid in NOV
ing, owing to the reports, cir ulated
by those who have been led here
with too great expectations, and been
disappointed, but there are others
who came here only three or four
years ago, with hardly any money,
and are now living comfortably, and
have improved property, worth from
$4,000 $1,000 each. We can show
numbers of those, who have been
here still longer, and hardly have
dime to their name. Success will de-
pend largely upon the persons them
selves, for nature will do her part
here, most generously, and there are
plenty of occupations that can be
followed with advantage, if judicious-
ly maraged.

have ever made 1t so. 1t is open to
the whole State, and if the people of
others do not avail themselves of it
as an advertisement, to give publicity
all over the country, OF their several
advantages, it is not our fault but

Tho subscription price, has been
placed at the lowest sum, to suit the
times, and it is only through aslarge
circulation, that we can be enabled to
compete with others under more IA
vorable circumstances, to which we
have already alluded. We wish and
intend. to give good paper, credit
to the State, and one that people can
send away with confidence to their
friends, to induce them to come here.
No northern paper, however excel
lent, can give a truthful account of
the agriculture of this State, our sea-
sons and productions being so differ
ent. Our senior editor of forty years
experience as a tropical and semi
tropical agriculturist, has spent his
life time in acquiring the knowledge
requisite for success, and he is always
ready to give all information neces.
sary.
Can you do without the FLoRI DA
AGRICULTURIsr? That is the ques-
ton. Many people think they can,
but when difficulties assail them, how
quickly they come to us to put them
right. Many are the letters we re-
ceive every week, from people who
do not take our paper, but write for
information when in trouble, which
can be found in our columns. We
give it with pleasure, but at the same
time consider, "That the laborer is wor-
thy of his hire."-Live and let LiUe
The newspaper business in this State,
is, as a whole: an Improbable one, as
leaders and opponents of its best III
terests. Organs of information for
every one, they are badly supported !;
watch dogs of the public welfare,
they can only get the crumbs that
happen to fall from the table. They
are the poorest men in the State. Is
this right? Can you get a superior
class OF men to undertake such work
on laborer's hire? We thank those
who have contributed to the paper
in the past, and solicit their good Of
fees in the future, and sincerely hope
their example will be followed by
many others. We feel highly flat
tered at the readiness, with which so
many of the subscribers of the old
FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT, came for
ward to subscribe to the new. It is
a mark of confidence that we appre-
ciate, and for which we are grateful.
