A Reply to 'DirigO.'

Editor of The Florida AgriculturiSt:
l observe that a correspondent
"Dirigo," referring to my article on
the "Mysteries OF Budding in your
issue of June 18th, states That it is
claimed to be impracticable in orange
budding to remove the wood from
the bud, because it is impossible to
detach the wood from the thorns
without injuring the shield or leav-
ing cavity, which will render the
union imperfect.
If it had been claimed that it is
difficult to detach the wood from the
thorn without injury I should entire
ly coincide with him, for that is true;
but as tc it's impractibility l can only
say that / have myself, time and
again, budded successfully orange
and lemon buds with thorns from
which I had removed every trace OF
wood, without the least injury to the
shield.
AS to the cavity left, l grant it;
but it does more good than harm, in>
asmuch as the cambrium speedily
fills it up and only gives it that much
vigor-at least such has been my
own experience.
But, as l stated in the article re-
ferred to-" SIT you prefer, you can
omit to remove all the woody layer,
provided you cut it as thin as possi>
ble," and this would doubtless be the
best method of procedure for any
one except an expert with regard to
thorn buds.
AS to the tall of the petiole of the
Leaf from the bud betokening success
in three OF tour days-that is perfect
ly true; but it is also true that when
the leaf is left on, as it should be, it
will remain in full vigor tor year or
more. HELEN HARCOURT.

Sale of State Lands.
Of the Florida AgricatlturiSt:

Editor Of the Florida II griculturiSt:
1 write this to give voice to the
feeling of thanksgiving on the Hall
fax that at last there has offered the
opportunity for our State to throw
off the terrible burden of the Yose
claim, and that there has been man
in our government with nerve and
ability to seize the opportunity. To
know that our lands were going
that the money received for them
was all sunk in the pit of interest
payments, and to look forward to the
time when the land and money would
be all gone and tile big debt be there,
has been exasperating. The cry has
long gone up all over the country,
Cant they settle that claim?" If it
had taken all the land it would still
have been good thing; but to have
saved three million acres clean and
clear OF debt, and moreover to have
enlisted sach a tremendous power to
people the State and carry out such
immense internal improvements, it is
nearly too good to believe Perhaps
no other State government has had
the opportunity that this had, but the
credit and honor of grasping 1t and
securing its great benefits to the
State remains due to this, and we say,
'Hurrah for Bloxham!h A.

Caller Air.

Editor Of The Florida Agric,titariSt:
o, tor breath of Caller all !! Such
was my involuntary exclamation, the
other morning, as threw doors and
windows open to admit what air
there was, already heated by sthe
hot July sun. You may ask, what is
Caller air? Well, it is fresh air, OF
course; yes, and something more, it
is the very essence OF fresh air.
English people can recall in foreign
lands the beautiful cool freshness OF
an English summer morning; yet
not in England, but away beyond to
Scotia's Land, must you go to inhale
and experience the effect OF fine
"Caller air." The memory Of it now
causes your pine woods of Florida to
disappear, your hammock oaks to
vanish; and in their place what do l
see: Field upon field OF bonnie
waving yellow corn-feld upon field
of dark, cool, green grass, dotted
with pins and white daises, red and
white clover-the fragrance OF which
fills the air, causing you to draw
deep hreaths, as if you could not get
your fill Of the sweetness of the at
mosphere. Away in the distance are
the hills, looking dark in the shadow,
but which you know to be covered
with bonnie purple heather and fairy
blue bells; the hills in the distance l
say, but not 30 far but one OF them
can be the point of your morning
walk. Away YOU start-not with

thrilling and trilling its wonderous

advantage than in Florida? A nice,
tidy little cottage with only nVe
acres in orange grove can place his
family above want-aLd this at
cost that no man III any good busl-
ness will feel. Money is plentiful
now, but how long will it continue
so? Read what the London P@@
Mall Gazette says:
"The Nearness of Financial Crl-
sis in the United States" argues that
the stability OF the New York money
market depends upon its power to
continue drawing gold from Europe.
The excess of exports over impo rts Is
not necessarily a sign Of wealth. A
nation that always exports more
goods than it importsis nearly always
a debtor nation, and It's excess OF eX-
ports is needed to pay Its debts.
Whether the process OF expansion ny
drainage from Europe, which within
the past Two years has added slXty>
five millions pounds TO the circulation
of the Union, is to go on, depends
upon the ability OF America to con-
troll with its products the markets OF
Europe. Indications are that the
European harvest will be bountiful,
and that the United States will have
to face a.great competltion-proOably
very low prices. With an overwhelm-
ing surplus Weld, they might be able
to do this, but should their surplus be
as many allege, comparatively small,
the difficulties of their trade may well
become serious.
The article concludes as follows:
''Wethink the position of the United
States is not anything like so secure
as more sanguine Americans assume.
They are just in circumstances where
a financial crisis might develop with
rapidity. Some look
tor such a crisis in the coming autumn,
but we are by no means certain that
it will develop itself then, even should
things come TO the worst. With
their trade credit, the bubble may go
on swelling for months beyond the
time when cautious men look for
trouble. The holders Of United
States securities, however, must pay
their account for the serious financial
difficulties much sooner than the con-
temptation of the wonderful progress
OF the past years might lead them to
expect"
