CARSON, January 4.
The Legislature met to-day and re-
ceived the Governors Message and then
adjourned. Sutro's arrival is anxiously
looked for. There is no doubt but that
he will be in the fight. as he is thorough
hater of Fair, and will combine with
Sharon on a financial proposition to beat
him.. He has sent dispatch to the ef-
feet that he will be ready to make the
fight with coin, but it is rumored that he
has decided not to spend over $780,
600. Sharon's money will also be added
to this, but how much ia not even known
by his agents. Bonanza influences are
steadily at work holding the unplepged
Democrats up to their programme. There
will certainly be no break until Sutro or
Sharon show sufficient cause for it. II is
considered that the near approach Of the
election, next Tuesday, will help Fairs
chances.

eRIsFrra's VALUATION.

Americans who read the telegraphie
news from Ireland every morning are
puzzled to understand what "Grifith's
valuation, which occsrs 80 often, means.
It refers to survey Of Ireland for the
purpose Of establishing basis for future
taxation which was commenced under
Griffith in 1926. The valuators attached
to the survey were bound to examine
upper and under soil, all was to be
valued at its agricultural worth; eleva.
tions above the level Of the sea, steepness,
exposure to bad winds, barrennsss,
patchiness,' bad roads, bad fences, all
things which would depreciate and cause
. reduction in value were considered. On
the other hand, limestone. turf, sea-weed
and other manures, good roads, climate,
shelter and convenience to good market
towns, were also taken into account, and
the valuation increased accordingly. Tho
Land Leaguers contend that this valua-
ton should furnish the basis on which
the tenant shall pay rent just as it fur.
nishes the basis of taxation. The land.
holders argue that this would be thor.
oughly unjust to them, land having large.
ly increased in value since the time Crit
fiths valuation was made.

Deand Volusia County, Florida Wednesday, December A. 1884,

A Waldo correspondent has all
ready explained about the strawber-
ries," after this fashion: October is
the month to set out Strawberries,
they cannot stand the hot sun at IS
degrees." Here it is the 1st of De.
cember and the thermometer 85 . in
the shade. / put itsin the sun and it
began to climb and does not stop
until it gets up to 1l00. l guess the
strawberry plants that "cannot stand
the hot sun" at 1100 should not be
planted in Florida. l have had about
the same experience as "Myrtle" de-
scribes transplanting strawberries in
the summer or even late in the spring.
From some cause they must not be
disturbed in hot weather. I think
they make new roots mostly in cool
weather. If COW peas had been
planted among them and LETT to them
selves until October or rainy weather
in September they would have done
better. Even in October my success
depends upon the weather-dry and
hot or otherwise. This year my first
transplanting was done the 10Th of
October, and from that time to No.
vember 28th we had very little rain
(1.60 inches1 with very hot weather
for the season. The result was, a
large proportion of the plants set at
that time died. Shading is. of much
Importance. Here we shade with
saw palmetto fans. Heretofore
have tertilized with a compost of VAR
liable composition and the result has
been proportional to the fertillzing
material it contained without much
reference to the kind. This year /
am making trial OF other materials.
My first settings was in rows two feet
apart aud sixteen inches IN the row,
and tertilized in the row. 1st parcel,
ground bone one pint to fifteen feet
of row. End parcel, Stoves orange
tree food, same quantity as above.
3rd parcel, dry hen guano one quart
TO fifteen feet of row. The next was
divided into two parcels and fertilized
in hill two feet each way. 1st par
Gel, dry hen guano, single handful,
and two ounces ground bone to the
hill, End parcel, hen guano, same as
above, and two ounces of orange tree
food to the hill. A pint cup full OF
the orange fertilizer weighs one and
one~fourth pounds. A large iron
spoon five times well heaped fills the
cup. A common tablespoon well
heaped ten times fills the cup. So it
is easily distributed either i'm four
ounce or two ounce parcels.

Editor Of The Florida AgricalturiSt:
Within the past Two years, any
one familiar with the aspect of the
country in the vicinity OF Lake Dora
and Lake Eustis, cannot but be inn
pressed by the wonderful and rapid
changes occurring On all the elegible
land suited to the cultivation OF the
vegetable products OF Florida. The
land almost without exception has
been taken up by homesteaders and
others, and as occasion requires, is
being subdivided to suit the require-
ments of later settlers, who are daily
fiocking in to participate in the adj
vantages that will accrue in the
future in developing the resources OF
this section. Transportation by water
and by land, will at an early day, be
on a, footing equal to that of the
Metropolitan counties and as it is peo-
pie are better served by existing
means of transport than in the major.
ity Of localities in Orange County.
Lake Dora and Lake Beauclair are
large bodies Of water joined by the
Ochlawaha river flowing through
them, and thence through Lake
Eustis emptylng into the St. Johns.
The elevated land adjacent to the
shores of Lake Dora, commands a
view over the combined Lakes, un-
surpassed by any land and water
scenery in Florida, and probably a
larger scope of country is embraced
in the landscape. The hills beyond
the great Lake Apopka are distinctly

Norwalk Putnam Co.

Editor of The Florida Agriculturist.
We have often heard and read of
the growth and enterprise of your
young city, and are hoping some day
to see for ourselves its loveliness and
make It's acquaintance; but for the
present we must content ourselves
with pen and word pictures of De.
Land, and introduce ourselves tC
you.
Perhaps some OF the readers of your
interesting paper have seen our little
settlement-of course you have all
heard OF Norwalk, the pride of our
hearts and delight OF our eyes.
Like DeLand, it is situated little
back from the river, on high rolling
pine land, where every breeze is la
den with health from the fragrant
resinous pines.
Norwalk is only five years old, and
without any special advertising has
grown to be quite settlement 1--WE
do not yet boast the title Of city, and
some of its groves, although young,
are already bearing, and as thrifty
as any in the State. Every resident
(as matter of course) has an orange
grove with good variety of other
fruits; such as fair Florida alone can
raise; and many non.residents whose
business at the north prevents them
at present, from living here perma.
nently, have purchased land and had
groves planted for them, where they
can retire and enjoy the sunset of life,
assured of liberal income and
home where snow>drifts never enter,
but among flowers, fruits and singing
birds the whole year round. Among
these on.residents, who have made
this happy choice, and are looking to
Florida as a future home, may be
mentioned the Smith Brothers of Cam
bridgeport, Mass; Mr.. D. Frazer of
the same place; Mr.. Paige and Mr..
Dickinson of Chicago; Mr.. r. B.
Harvley, Mr.. r. M. Boody and MIR.
2. O. Hilbourn, OF Mass, also Capts.
Bentley, McHaffry and many others
| will not mention now.
Messrs. Smith Bros. % Hilbourn
are fully convinced OF the future pros.
perity of Florida, and particularly of
Norwalk, aud have spared nothing to
make their groves, what they now
area success. In company with
Mr.. Frazer, they have recently ship
ped to their agent here, Mr.. r Bean,
a cargo of 600 bbls. fertilizers to be
applied to their respective groves.
Now, perhaps some one, who has
grove on rich hammock land, may
suggest the idea that our pine land
is SO poor we are obliged to buy fer
tilizer to make our trees grow. 10
some extent that may be true, alter
the trees have used up the first and |
and best strength of the natural soil;
