Death of Scion Robinson.

We regret to notice in the Jack
sonville papers that Scion Robinson
the Agricultural writer died there
last week, at the ripe old age Of
70. Mr.. Robinson has been resid.
ing in Florida for twelve years and
owned considerable property in the
city of Jacksonville at the time OF
his death. He was. formerly Agri'
cultural editor of the New York Iri-
6aoae under Horace Greedy and since
taking up his residence IN Florida
he continued to write articles on the
Agriculture of this State for the
same paper.

The King Orange.

The Riverside Press and Horticui-
tawiSt informs us that the plants of
the above orange have been intro
duced into California. 1t is said to
be the finest kind of orange grown.
We imust get it into Florida. The
Press says:
"Dr. S. r. Magee last spring re-
ceived from Japan some half dozen
oranges of the King variety. He
planted the seed and has some thirty
young trees now foot in height.
Another season he can get buds from
these young trees and, by using them
on large thrifty stock he can soon
test the fruit.
sIn order to make this matter OF a
true King Orange still more sure he
sent to Hon. John A. Bingham, OF
the United States Legation at Toxic,
Japan, for an importation OF young
trees, and a few days since he re-
ceived box containing twenty-five
young plants, but they were not in
good condition. However, careful
attention will now bring most OF
them ont, and probably next June
these trees will also furnish buds.
The King Orange will doubtless be a
valuable acquisition to this country.

anxiously people from the more pop
ulated districts of our country ask
the above question, and l cannot help
but feel degree Of compassion for
them, but the peculiar circumstances
and ineontravertable facts make it my
plain duty to speak as l about to be-
gin. l say that making living here
is not harder than in any other Sec
ton of our country. But to make
this plain to the incredulous may be
task to which l am not equal. The
evidence on my side of an argument
l have seen no one successfully refute.
/ am to admit that we have poor
soil, comparatively and generally, yet
there are crops especially adapted to
it, besides our resources for fertilizers
are unlimited, while the climate is
such as to admit of long time for
the growth of the crops. 1t we can
not grow the various staple crops
which are used for making meat and
keeping stock, nature has provided
another source of these things. We
have our rivers, lakes. bays and the

human existence is more hard and
plecarious than in sections where
most, if not all, Of these little Incl

greater perfection of the art OF doing
things in the old world, SO to speak,

Salt and Cotton Worms.

A Marshall correspondence OF the
Galveston -NeacS writes as follows:
II propose to relate, for the bene-
fit of your readers, the result OF an
experiment made a few years ago by
a planter in Marion. county, Texas,
to protect his cotton from the rava-
ges of the worm. The facts were
related, in my presence, by a gen
tleman who mad witnessed the re.
suit, and may be relied upon as be-
ing correct. The planter making
the experiments took up the idea
that salt-common salt-would do
the work, and to test this matter,
when he had ridged up his cotton
rows in the spring, preparatory to
planting, he took salt in about the
same quantity as if it was small
grain, and sowed it over the tops OF
three or four rows, down the middle
of the field. In due time the cotton
seed were planted and grew as
usual. During the month of Sep.
TENDER following, the worms made
their appearance in great numbers
and literally destroyed the field,
save and except the plants grown
upon these particular ridges. Not
only were these plants uninjured,
but the growth was much more lux
uriant and the yield OF cotton was
abundant and very fineA
