Dakota wants to become a state

possessed when admitted to the
Union. We say let her in, and
right here too, we wish to have it
understood that we shall apply
for admission into the Union OF
tho state of Arizonaand we think
that every citizen in this rapidly
growing Territory will agree
with us. We stand to-day in point

Now that the absorbing topic Of

be of interest to some of your
readers to hear something from
thisremote region, now becoming
so accessible and the object of so
many golden dream. Two years

to interest me. The white acrid

rough looking miners and teams

sky and ever blazing sun, reflect

The Climate.
Its said of San Diego that il

of Lower Arizona much has been
said, and Yuma, especially, has
been cited as possessing its pecul-
lar features of heat and dryneSS
In the hiest degree. That it is
entitled to bis distinction there l.
no doubt; ard yet not to the bad
reputation as place of residence
which such a description natural
ly suggests 10 an Eastern mind
For four months, from, tie
first Of June to the last of Septem-
Der, the heat il at most times in
tense and at all times severe. Dur.
ing the other eight months, save
for occasional sand storms, the
climate is delightful. in winter
temperature as low as 20degrees
is occasionally reached, and the
air is bracing and keen.
During the summer months the
mercury will frequently attain
maximum of lis degrees, and
may. for weeks, almost without
iDtermission, reach a daily maxi
mum Of ITO degrees without oc-
casioning more unpleasant .Odily
sensation than Is felt at so de-
grees in Philadelphia. 1t is scar
cely necessary to explain'that this
difference in the effect Of tenn
perature is caused by the extreme
dryness of the Yuma air, which
loses almost all moisture in pass
ing over hundreds of miles of
rainless desert. This dry air rap
idly absorbs the perspiration, and
so keeps the skin dry and compa-
ratively cool.
Summer is the healthiest sea-
son in Yuma. SunstrOke is un-
known and one can expose the
uncovered head to the direct rays
of the sun with less danger than
would be incurred under similar
circumstances on an ordidary hot
day in the East. The heat thus
tempered does not bring exhaus-

New Textile Fabric.
Editor Of The Florida Agriculturist

Editor of The Florida Agriculturist:
One of the curiosities of the adapt.
ability Of the covering of seeds to do.
mestic purposes in furnishing mater
ial for clothing, was lately submitted
to the writer by A. P. Harris, Orange
Heights, Fla, 1t was a pair of mt.
tens wrought from the wool that sur
rounds, the seeds of a species OF
lponaea or rather BatQtus, OF which,a
few pods was gathered in a wild
stare near his residence and--szh;els.
now adorns his porch. 1t is a strong
growing vine, in appearance some
what like some varieties of the sweet
potato of which family it is a mem.
ber. During the summer months
and early fall, it flowers profnsely
and is snowy enough to be conspic-
nous even at distance. The flowers
are succeeded in due course by small
light brown pods in clusters of a
dozen or more, which contain each
four small black seeds EMBEDDED in
the wool spoken OF, and which re.
quire no ginning, further than beat
ing them in a sack, to free it. The
wool is Of brown or Nankin color,
and to a cursory observer, being sim.
liar to Nankin Cotton. In manipu.
latlng it, as the color is pleasing the
yarn wants no dying and its texture
when manufactured Is soft, and is
found impervious to wet. From this
years crop Mr.. Harris has gathered
from two vines five pounds of the
wool and purposes manufacturing
other articles which he will exhibit at
the Orange, County fair This enter
prise of Mr.. Harris is to be com.
mrended. and worthy of attention to
those seeking a new material for
textile fabrics. sI '.i L. B. s..

A Splendid Rose DePeru Grape
a vine.

From the San Diego Union
We are threatened with another
big grapevine, and this time in Ma.
tional City, San Diego county. It is
ON the premises of Mr.. Field, and for
its age it is curiosity, the stock be.
ing about ten inches in circumference.
with an age of only between two and
three years. The top covers a space
of forty feet or thereabouts, and the
last year being the first time that it
had borne, Mr.. Field gathered over
three hundred pounds of grapes. 1t
isa Rose Of Peru, and promises to be
an equal to the big vine. From it
the first season, Mr. Field was enabled
to make thirty-six gallons of wine,
and though as yet it has no age, it is
a most excellent wine, if we are a
judge. This vine is on high mesa
land and gets but little water. 1t
occupies place on the east side of
a building, close up, and it may be
that with extra tillage and manuring,
the roots are partially protected by
the building. 1t is vine that will
in short time yield all the fruit that
a family may need.

a very severe drough lasting
some six weeks or more, we are hay.
ing fine rain, and as a consequence
the hearts Of our market gardeners are
made glad. We saw field of sew.
eral acres IN tomatoes yesterday, the
fruit just beginning to- ripen, which
without rain for few days longer,
would have been ruined, but now
they will n undoubtedly pay hand
somely, if the weather clears without
turning cold. The Messrs. .Magruder,
Gingras, and Hsrdee, have planted
largely, and, thus tareyerything looks

They will be ready to commence

Oranges from this section have
generally reached market in bad
condition, owing in part to- the ex.
treme warm weather to the north of
us, and in part to the slow transit
down the St. Johns. Oranges that
leave our landing on Saturday do not
reach Savannah until the following
Saturday, to take the New York
steamers, too long a time by three
days. We notice by the jackson
vile papers that some fourteen hun
dred boxes were thrown overheard
from one of the Savannah steamers
during her recent trip. Now we
should like to know how long they
had been boxed, how they had been
handled, and whether they were
wrapped, etc. At the risk of being
voted, not up to the time, we frankly
confess that we do not take kindly
to this wrapping theory. To pick
oranges few days before boxing
is all very we'll, but then to wrap
them up in a lot of paper, does not
in our opinion make. them keep a
day longer, but rather the opposite,
especially if they should happen to
get wet, as they often do in chang
ing from one, mode of transit to
another. Our experience teaches us
that the points to be observed, to get.
oranges to market in good condition,
are these, clip the stem, let them lay.
in a cool dry place from three to five
days, handle them like eggs, and
pack closely, then consign them to
the tender mercies OF the steamboats,,
and trust to luck. 9.aa
Our winter thus far has been most
delightful, rather too warm as a gen
tleman, from Ohio, told me a few
days ago. Vegetation Of no kind
has stopped growing as can see, and
everything is as green as at midsum-
mer. We had an orange tree in
bloom two weeks ago. 1t has in fact
been unusually mild. Tourists are
passing down the river daily. and all

Loss, For Not Advertising.

Editor Of The Florida Agriculturist: m 0i
The value of advertising as a
means OF difusing information, some
times strikes US with unusual force.
Note this very ordinary instance.
The subscriber was in urgent need of
several hundred, probably thousand,
orange boxes, and desired them to be
of the very best quality.
BY mere chance it was discovered
