Cocoanut Raising.

from the New lOrk " ORD
The largest fruit farm in the world
o. any one kind of fruit has been estab-
lished In the southern part of Florida,
comprising $500 acres, with over
200, 900 cocOanut trees. In order to
establish this farm, Ezra A. Os-
born, wealthy farmer of Middleton,
Monmouth County, \. J., bought over
sixty miles OF the Ocean-frOnt land
from Lake North on the north to
Cape Florida on the south. In order
to commence his enterprise he had to
clarter special vessels to carry the
cOcoanuts from South America and
then land them through the surf in
surf boats, purchased from the gov
eminent, from along the New Jersey
coast. He had to send wOrkmen,
tools and houses from the North by
steamer to Key West, and then by
specially chartered sailing vessels up
70 COCOanut Strand, the village he has
established in the center of his plan
tation. so far the undertaking has
cost an outlay Of over 500, 900 The
200, 600 CocOanut trees planted, of
which one-half have attained two
years growth and the other half one
year s growth, VIII net, If the statistics
OF the product Of cocoanut trees are
borne out, in the course Of from six TO
ten years and then on FOR 100 years,
50 to s. per year for each tree. As
the cocoanut will only thrive south OF
the frost line and near the coast, Mr.
Osborn has succeeded in mOnopolizing
about all the land there Is in the
United States available for cocoanut-
growing. All the other tropical fruits
can also be grown on the sixty-mile
tract as well as all the early vege-
tables. Tomatoes have been known
to pay net profit OF to exceed $500
per acre.

CHINA, and vicinity, BY the recent rain

serious which has visited Canton in
thirty years. More than 10000 per-
sons lost their lives and a far greater
number are left in a starving condi-

and the rice and silk crops in the vi

OF rice has been raised Is per cent. in
consequence of the loss of the crop.
The rain fell the latter part OF June,

Many OF the streets OF Canton were

An American Makes Trouble.

While England Is having its unsav-
ory social scandals, and Ireland, its
perennial land agitation, Scotland,
writes a Glasgow correspondent to the
Hartford Times, Is being wrought up
by a matter OF equal Importance and
magnitude An American Is the dis
turbing clement, and If all reports are
true the average landlord could not be
more aggressive. This gentleman IS
lessee OF one Of the largest deer forests
In Scotland 1t is situated at kIntall,
Ross shire. and comprises about 22O,-
600 acres, the rental of whlchls about
800, 900 a year. The man aTrOgates
to himself the privilege OF evIctIng the
tenants from the few farms In the
huge tract. so that II may all be de
voted to the sport for which he pays
so well. Naturally this action Is pro
vocatIve OF intense Indignation. The
quantity OF land converted into deer
forests since ! $50 is about two mill
ion acres.
The ordinary farm rental for mOors
Is l shilling per acre whlleIf cleared for
deer it i nearly or quite twice that
sum. To show the difference, an Illus
tration may be used. The Duke OF
Sutherland Is the largest landed pro
prietOr in the Highlands, owning and
renting ] 1926, ,453 acres. The income
Welded him by these estates Is about
1926. 900, or l shilling per acre over
all. The American tenant already al
luded 20 pays 500 600 for 22O,OOO
acres. Notice the difference, and do
not wonder that the people strongly
object to the present system OF con
verting the land into forests for the
preservation Ofdeer and game. 1t was
alleged that the obnoxious Brooks
had deprived people OF their Iands to
such an extent that they found II TO
their interest to leave. until even the
lands previously cleared Tor large
sheel-farms are nOwru upon by deer.
The commission, after hearing the
complaints in fyll, have arrived at the
decision that from the forests gain has
accrued 70 the prOprletors and Their
dependents, and no injury has resulted
10 farming or 70 farmers, but that
there Is a limit beyond which the ex-
. tension OF the forest system should
not be permitted TO 90 They recon-
mend that further Appropriation Of
land TO such purposes he prohibited
below a prescribed contour line OF eie-
vation. The result i that theretOrm-
ers are not satisfied, and everywhere

Taking Active Measures to ConciIiate
Germany in CaroIines Affair.
The Spanish government has closed
the doors of the Madrid Army
and Navy Club because officers be
longing to the club have re-
turned their German decorations
and because the club has struck
from its list of honorary members the
names OF German officers and that of
the crown prince OF Germany. The
press and army are disgusted by the
amicable attitude that has been dis
played by the cabinet toward Ger
many. A Berlin dispatch says it Is
rumOred there that King Alfonso has
sent an autograph letter to Crown
Prince Frederick William asking him
TO mediate in order that friendship be
tween Spain and Germany may be
maintained 1t Is also rumored that
King Leopold, OF Belgium, and En-
perOr Francis Joseph have been asked
TO act as arbitratOrs. Prince Bis
marck, 1t Is stated, favOrs the latter
and desires a decision in favor OF
Spain in order to escape from the diff
fculty. The ministerial papers have
adopted a modified tone, while the
opposition papers attack Germany
with increased vigor. The result is
that seven OF the latter papers have
been seized and viii be prosecuted.
Public feeling Is more decided than
ever against a concession to Germany.

married a Hayti woman and at the
end OF ms term of office took up the
business OF dealing in the paper money

made considerable money, and then
desired to invest a part OF his gains in
real estate, but this was forbidden by
law OF Haytien, which denies that
right to any but native, born in
HaytI. He evaded the law, however
and purchased a piece of property In
Port au Prince, which transaction
