Gen. SanfOrd's Article.

In this number we reproduce an es
say written for the Fruit Growers
Association in 1876, by Gen. Sanford,
who derived his information from
personal inspection. Gen. Sanford
has done as much for Florida, espec,
tally Orange County, as any person
in it. He has been the making OF a
fiourishing town that has a bright
future, and has spared no pains or ex
pense in introducing fruit trees, and
other plants, that will add much to
our wealth. Like Mr.. DeLand, OF
this place, the General is continually
adding something 80 make the town

State, Even if her soil produced
nothing, every dry acre of it would,
in time, possess high value as a

of Mr.. Stewart, at Apopka, that yiela-
ed last season so largely, stands on
less than one acre OF land. The crop.
sold on the trees Tor one half cents
per orange. the whole amounting to
over sixteen hundred dollars, The
cost OF tertilizing and of caring for
the trees is but comparative trifle.
In the State there are now over three
hundred thousand bearing trees;
few only OF them are yielding as
largely as the best of Mr.. Stewards.
Within fifteen years there will be
millions Of trees as valuable as the
average of his. For a number OF
years the chief interest OF the penin>
sular has been the propagating and
culture of the orange. 1t is likely TO
increase, until the greater part OF it
is devoted to the raising OF this fine
truit-a crop that will yield under
favorable circumstances fifteen hum
dred dollars net profit, per acre. This
signifies what the future OF Florida
will be, without regard to other fruit
products that she will excel in. I'M
provements are under way. Water
ways and railroads are being cons
structed, and others are chartered
that will make of easy access the re-
hottest part of it. The advantages
of superior harbor facilities, on both
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, will per.
nit direct shipments abroad by ves-
sells of the largest size.
"The most valuable acres OF agri,
cultural land East of the Western
mines, before many years have passed,
will be part OF the State OF Florida.
This opinion may be regarded as ven
turesome; but consideration of the
data at hand, visit to the groves,
and an enjoyment of the climate will
warrant an expression OF it."

Notes on Florida.

We clip the following extrac,
from a correspondent of the Brook
Ign, N. Y, RaGral Gazette. who has
been travelling about Florida, and
gives fair description, especially of
Orange county. He says:
"There are two Floridas. Florida
along the streams, and back for miles
along much of them where the land
is low, level and damp, including the
'fiatwoods' met with inland, at dis.
tances far apart, upon which many
have unwisely pitched their tents
and in time, have pulled up stakes.
and proclaimed that no white man
could live in the State.
"The other Florida is of high alti.
tude, free from all miasmatic infu.
ences; covered with grand pine
woods, clean of all underbrush; stock
eG with game and dotted with small
lakes, many OF them exquisitely beau
titul. The woods are being variega.

the handsome orange aud lemon, and
their monotony broken by the rapid |
Springing up of settlements and the
organization of towns. The lanes of |

sprayed III August, as an experiment.
Two applications were necessary, as
all parts OF the fruit are not touched
by the first spraying, and, conse-
quently, all the insects not killed.
The whale oil soap water, in its ope-
ration, seems to kill the insect, the
smut rising in crust from the fruit,
by the action of the sun and wine,
and gradually taking off. The solu-
ton as used on Mr.. Clarke's trees was
three>tourths OF a pound OF the soap
to a gallon of water Mr.. Lelong
regards the whale oil soap as superior
to sulphur the fruit being more effi'
GENTLY cleaned and the sprayer not
becoming clogged, as is apt to be the
case in using sulphur. A careful! 10
vestigation of the merits Of whale oil
soap in this use is OF great interest

Smut on Oranges.

b. M. Lelong, foreman at A. B.
Clark's Yale orange grove, at Orange
brought to the Times office yesterday
a number OF oranges, amcng which
were Wilson's Best, seedlings, and
KoDahs-all bright, tresh-looking
fruit, and free from smut. The orr
anges were brought not as samples
OF the fruit although they are fne),
but TO show the effect of spraying
the trees with whale-oll soap. Mr..
Lelcng said that the smut on tie
orange was caused by the excrement
OF the black scale, that the red scale
does not produce, smut, aud that
while the brown scale does produce
II, the insect is very rare. The result
OF the spraying is that the fruit is
generally clear and bright, and is not
injured in the least. Occasionally,
however, there remains on the fruit
small dark discoloration, which is
probably caused by concentration
on that particular spot OF the potash
In the soap. These discolorations
are very rare and are not objection
able in comparison with the smut.

They who have been deIuded in
to the unwarranted belief that the
canal is out of date as a means of
transportation, may read with some
surprise that there are now many
times more canals in progress of
construction than at any other time
in the worlds history. Such,
however, is the fact. The New
York Sun points out this truth and
produces q long list of such enter
prises now under way that abun-
dainty prove the growing popula-
ton of water routes. The great
success of the Suez Canal has in
duced the construction of another
artificial channel by its side at a
cost Of S150,OOO,O0O. At Man
chester, England, a great ship
canal is under way that will cost
$40, 600, 900. In Scotland, canal
eighty miles long, connecting the
Tyne and Solway Firth, is being
constructed at an enormous ex
penses. In France, a ship canal
from the Bay of Biscay to the
Mediterranean to cost 5000, ,000,-
900 has been commenced. In
Denmark one between the German
Ocean and the Baltic, and in
Greece, one across the Isthmus of
Corinth have recently been under
taken. In Asia a canal across the
Malay Peninsula which will bring
Europe closer to all Chinese and
japanese ports is also projected.
These facts show plainly that the
canal is being more widely recog,
nized by the first engineers and
nations of the world as the most
useful and indispensable adjunct
to the inland commerce.
