information, printed and otherwise,
concerning several sections OF the
State. He has not yet formed his
plan OF operations, but one of his
first steps will probably be to visit
the Capital and establish communi>
cation with Governor Bloxham and
the Bureau of immigration, the res
suits of whose present and recent
labors, under the management of
Secretary r. G. Long, in the collec,
collection of matter for a new edition
of the State immigration pamphlet,
will be OF signal benefit and utility
to Mr.. Foss IN the intelligent pur-
suit of his object. From thence he
will visit in person the different Sec
tions OF the State. The Times wishes
him all. success in his undertaking,
predicts from the results ofhis labors
a great benefit to the material inter~
ests of the State, and bespeaks for
him from our people in every section
their most earnest and cordial sups
port and assistance.

Citrus Fair in California.

The exhibition of oranges and
others Of the citrus tribe at Riverside
in California, turned out great sue
cess. The Washington Navel orange
was the favorite. The Press and
HoHicultewiSt says:
"In appearance and general favor
the Riverside or Washington Navel
took the eye and captured the affect
ions OF the multitude as well as the
critical examiners OF the fruit experts,
of whom many were present from all
sections. 1t was this year shown in
greater perfection and beauty than
ever before as the crop was large
enough to allow the grower to make
more careful selections. Its smooth,
glossy and fine textured rind, cover
ing an equally finetextured and juicy
pulp, were prominent features that
gave it great favor, besides it is large
and is about the only orange that
does not show coarseness in its larger
specimens.
"The Malta Blood was more large
ly represented than ever before, and
attracted attention tromits very deep
red rind and deeper red pulp. The
flavor and aroma OF this fruit is un~
favorably criticised by many.
"The Australian Navel was largely
exhibited. 1t is a fine fruit but not
so choice, fine textured and high
favored, as the Washington Navel.
"Geo. 9. Swan, OF San Diego coun>
ty, had few samples OF the Florida
Navel, which were different from
either of the other varieties, being
smaller and tiatreAed at the poles.
"There was on exhibition the fol-
lowing thirty-three varieties of oran-
ges:
"Washlngton or Riverside Navel,
Australian Navel, Florida Navel,
Mediterranean Sweet, Duroi, Paper
Rind, St. Michael, Large St. Michael,

VOluSia County Taxes.
or Of TIE N0r&la Agricu!turiSt:


The tax-book of Volusia county
for 1882 will close in three weeks.
1t is respectfully suggested to tax
payers that upon themselves depends
somewhat the correctness of their
assessments; that now is the time to
swear to the amount and description
of their property, and that after the
books are closed and in the hands of
the collector, they can swear at the
amount of their taxes, but it is then
entirely too late to correct descrip.
tions or amounts.
Last year, through the dilatory
action OF our State government, the
assessors appointment was delayed
two months after he should have been
at work, ana in his hurried canvass
for returns OF property through the
country, he was obliged to omit call
ing at some few outlying places,
Perhaps it did not occur to those he
thus unwillingly sighted, that at the
total cost OF something less than a
nickel, they could have sent their re-
turns to him correctly made out by
themselves.
AS many are necessarily absent
when the ASSESSOR Calls, it has been
urged that instead OF following the

gathered when ripe, that it should be
a paying crop anywhere; so much SO
that the starch sells in Brazil at from
two to three cents per pound. Large
quantities are brought to the United
States to be used as sizing in calico
factories. 1t is the cheapest kind of
food that can be grown, and very nu-
tricious. More money can be made
by turning the starch into tapioca
than in any other way.

CasSaYa.

We publish elsewhere an article on
cassava from the Barlow Informant.
There is no doubt OF this product
being a valuable one to the State
and one that is destined TO add
greatly to its wealth, but there is too
much exaggeration about its produc-
tiveness. Cassava, like every thing else
has its season, and while growing will
not produce starch, so that it cannot
be manufactured all the year round
with profit. From twenty to twenty
five per cent. of the bulb in starch
will be found the average yield, and
we have never known it in our own
experience to give more than from
1900 to 1000 pounds Of starch to
the acre, making the weight oftuber
about 10000 pounds. On the very
rich lands of the Halifax river it may
produce something more, but we
have found that when the plants are
very iuxuriant the tubers are not Sc
rich inIstarch. Cassavais very exhaus
tive to the soil as it returns little tc
it, and the land will have to be kept
up by the use Of fertilizers, and ever
with them after a time will get sc
poor that nothing can afterwards b'
grown on it.
in the Tropics, ginger, tobacco ant
cassava, are considered the most ex'
haustive to land of any product
grown. and are seldom planted OIL
the same land in succession.

custom inaugurated by the present
assessor, lin 1877 of calling at ey-
cry house, that appointments 0e made
to meet at the various precincts or
convenient centers of settlement
throughout the county, as is done IN
many if not most OF the other coun>
ties of the State, and then every one
who really desires to see the assessor
can 60 so. This plan has been iol>
lowed this year. Notices Of the
| meetings have been published and
posted, and the assessor has kept the
appointments. Blanks have now
been left at every precinct and post
office in the county, and on these
blanks-specially designed and sent
out by the Comptroller for that pur-
pose-returns can be made and for
warded to the assessor by those who
failed to see him.
Where parties return land never
before assessed to them, they are res
quested to give the name OF the party
from whom it was bought, that 1t
may be taken from the list of that
party. to avoid double assessment.
Where land has been sold during
the year, it is best always with the
return to give list of those sold to,
with the amount and description,
thus proving the correctness OF the
return, and enabling the assessor to
assess the land in the name Of the
owner, even where as is often the
case with non residents), the owner
should fail to make return.
For the benefit OF future assessors,
it may be added that the property
owners, as a rule, do not appear to
have really cherished that deep long
ing for the society of the assessor
that their melancholy complaints,
when he has failed to reach them
heretofore, would indicate. The as
SCISSORS receptions have not in all
cases been well attended; in fact,
they have not proved to be popular
entertainments, and it is recommend
ed TO the next assessor that he pro-
vide himself with stout horse and
start out promptly on the first day
Of March and attempt not 10 finish
his round before the first Of June.
He will then barely have time to
make out the first roll for the Cons
missioners meeting in July, SO ali his
work at the Clerks Office, reviewing
tax sales, State lists and deed books,
of which he will have 1900 to 1000
pages to examine, should be done in
February before he starts. To be
sure he will not get paid for this
work, but then ne will enjoy that
great satisfaction so dear to every
good Democrat, of moving that he
has done the wolk as it should be,
and he would not he so unreasonable
as to ask tor more. If, as is usually
the case, his appointment is delayed
from one TO three months, then he
will have to do the best he can and
catch the consequences.
