bring SO, 100000 But if we get 5000
out of an acre of ground every year it
seems that we are doing pretty we'll.
To make an orange grove requires
time and labor. ] cannot say that it is
a desirable undertaking unless one has
means to support himself during the
time. For man without means to
bring a family down here and under
take to make a grove is little less than
homicide. The tree is a dead expense
from the day it is planted till it begins
to bear; nor do its expenses stop there,
but they continue as long as it is a
bearing tree. On frst-class hummock
land the tree does not need fertilizing,
but on pine land it must be fortified
as long as it lives or it will do no good.
There is not more than one-twentieth
of the land that is hummock, the rest
is pine and swamp, go that there are
few groves on hummock land. 1t takes
something like work to clear hum
mock.
Let us look moment to the cost
and culture of grove. III give an
approximate cost Of one acre on pine
land for ten years, saying nothing Of
the'cost of land To clear, grub, pillow
and fence an acre would cost $25, 60
seeding trees, three years old, would
cost SIS. Budded trees would cost
more. To set them out would cost So.
The following cost depends very largely
on what we use in fertilizing. 1900
pounds commercial fertilizer would run
the grove during the time, which would
cost $50. Flowing, hoeing, ETC.
would be S120, making a total cost o.
nearly 5000 Many do not use i'm
ported fertilizer they use muck, de
cayed leaves, etc, We may have K
meet many expenses we do not at frs
calculate Oh. Sometimes the scale bug
covers the bark of the tree, arrestinG
its growth. 1t requires much washing
to get rid Of them, sometimes the tire,
must be cut off near the ground, thu
throwing it back year or two. Th,
tree has many enemies, all Of which
have not space to mention Withou
work or fertilizing do not believe tn
tree in century would get large enougl
on pine land to bear an orange.
Let me say that the above acre o
grove at the end of ten years, if it doe
well, could be sold easily for $1,000
often more. This pine land is as poo
as Poverty, Those who have neve
been in Florida nor Sahara can forr
no idea of it. Many do not hire tn
= work done on their groves and buy n
fertilizer so they make grove witt
out paying out much money. But let
take a rest, after which we will e.
anime other fruits.

Our Cisy'S FIXTURE.

1t is time for our city fathers to look
about them. McMinnville is nolonger
to be a distributing point at the head
of railroad nayigation-she is hence
forward to be mere waystation. The
area Of territory from which her trade
has hitherto been drawn is to be hence
forward more restricted, for the custom
from many Of the upper counties is, or
soon will be, lost to her 1t is time the
facts we're looked squarely in the face,
and a realizing sense of their signii-
canoe make US wake up to do what is
necessary to compensate for this newt
able loss, What can be done? We
pass by her superior advantages for
very many sorts Of manufactures, and
the splendid future which opens up be-
fore her as a grand educational centre
for the youth Of both sexes if we are
but wisely true to our interests in these
directions, and all others requiring
heavy OUTLAWS of capital with harvests
to be gathered at some distant day.
We wish to meet present emergency
which is now pressing upon us. Can
anything be done which will legiti
mately bring more money into the
town and scatter it among our people
1t can. We must back up our natura
advantages of climate, scenery and &c
cessability to make this large sum
mer resort for southern people, To Sc
cure this we lack but one thing, minera
E water and that must be had if it car
be. 1t is the one additional thing
without which all else will fail te pou
into our laps the prosperity which al
r ways follows the assemblage of crowd
