The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1886-03-11

The editors have come and gone after
glimpse At our country. Their visit
was necessarily brief, but to men Of travel
and trained observation it was long
enough to enable accurate ideas, and they
unanimously expressed their appreciation
of the pleasing scenery and the fertility
of the soil. They were agreeable gentle
men and it was pleasant to entertain
them, as it would have been even had
there been no qaid pro quo in sight in the
way of having the excellence of our coun-
try spread abroad in the land. 1t will
be remembered that the editors who Wis
tied US were bat q committee selected by
an association Of hundreds of other edit
ors to visit and report on Florida, and it
may be expected that their observations
will be printed not only in their own pa
pers but in the papers generally of the
editors who delegated them. In this
view, which is doubtless correct, Florida
will be more widely advertised than ever
before by any, or many plans. It is for
tunate that so large proportion of the
visiting editors were from the West, for
from that section we are more likely to
get the needed agricultural class of immi-
grants than from any other; and in that
new country the pioneer spirit is alive
which induces men to seek out homes in
other lands. To men who have faced
the billiards of the Northwest, and
fought for life against the rugged
obstacles of nature, the reports Of
our climate, productions and charming
natural aspects, must prove most alluring,
and they will realize that if they come
here and practice far less industry and
self-denial than they have been accus-
toned to they will build up pleasant and
valuable homes, and enjoy life while doing
it.
1t is just to say word in recognition
of the excellent public service of the
Florida delegation in the National Edito-
rial Association. They deserve the thanks
of the people for the thoughtfulness and
enterprise which brought about the visit
of the committee-the most notable ex-
cursion in the history of excursions, feted
and feasted at every stopping place in near
thousand miles of travel trough the wide
limits of the State. Florida was ably
represented at Cincinnati, and carried off
the honor of supplying President to the
National Association.

Deserved Success.

The Palatka Herald enters the eigh-
teenth year of its publication enjoying a
prosperity undiminished by the able local
competition with which it contends
Cheerfully pursuing the even tenor of its
way, it has no jealousy and no hard words
for those who have entered the field in
which it was pioneer and struggled so
long for the existence which has led to
financial success and honorable repute.
Philosophically content to divide business
with its competitors, and avoiding any
manifestations of i'll will, it pleases its
readers by its amiab;lity, and sets an ex
ample that might we'll be followed in
some communities where the chickering's
of rival editors occupy space in their pa
pers which readers would willingly have
filled with more useful and interesting
matter. May Editor Pratt live long to
enjoy the harvest Of good works End to
benefit the community for which he has
worked SO earnestly. He loves PAlatka,
the scene of his labors and of his realized
hopes, but his kindly spirit hath good
will for all the towns of Florida, and he
sympathizes in their enterprises and re-
joices in their progress. But Of course
his benevolence can't be universal; be
must draw the line ewhere-and he
draws it at radicalism, and when his
Democratic gun thunders Rome howls."
He's very "bad man" then hard as
iron when backing principles.

The Editors at the Chaaaaaqaa.
They came, they saw, they departed. But
they remained fully four hours, and that was
long enough to inocculaie them thoroughly with

Instruction, in an address OF ten minutes at the

under the cover, sighted his lens, and opened his
chemical battery upon the scene. do you use

his hand to Senator Mann and bride 10 step a
little further away from the water, fearing that
the honorable delegate and his editorial com
rades might not yet be used TO that clear and
limpid fluid. The Senator supported his fair
lady's arm with touching fidelity during the try
ing moments of picture taking, and the Rip Van

THE REPORT.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 6, 1888


To the National Editorial association
The delegation to whom was assigned the
duty Of proceeding TO Florida, at the request OF
the Florida delegation to your convention held
in Cincinnati, February 23d, Gath and 25ih, 1886
to report upon the condition OF the orange and
other crops affected by the recent lrosts. after
thorough investigation beg leave TO report as
follows:
In journey Of 600 miles, covering nearly
10000 square miles of territory. at nearly every
important station we have visited the orange
groves where We have had ample opportunity 10
examine the state of the trees and the extent OF
the damage done.
Not only so but at nearly every station there
have been exhibits of oranges, cuttings from the
trees, etc, showing the different stages of the
advance already made in leaves. buds and bios
SONS.
These have been supplemented al many
points by exhibits Of vegetables and grain Of
excellent quality. The country travelled over
comprises The main orange producing district of
the State.
In nearly all of that district we found evil
dences Of the frost. In many places the lemon
and other less hardy fruits are killed.
These trees are, however, of rapid growth and
will be speedily replaced by new trees.
In many localities favored with groves shell
tered In some degree by trees, or other advanta-
geous circumstances, the frost was NOT suffi-
GENTLY severe to Kill the leaves on the trees.
In other localities the leaves have dropped
from the trees and the fruit is destroyed. A
large portion OF the crop. however, had been
gathered before the frosis came, thus lessening
the severity of the damage.
Those trees that have lost their leaves Are rap
idly coming ont anew, and new leaves, buds and
blossoms were seen in many OF the groves
1t seems 10 be the almost universal opinion
among orange growers that the frost will really
be benefit to the people Of Florida, in showing
that orange trees are able 10 Withstand more Sc
we're fr0sts and colder weather than has hereto
fore been considered possible, and 10 encouraging
the discovery or invention of more efficient meth
DDS for the protection and preservation of the
crop.
Our observations lead to the conclusion that
the reports 10 unfavorable to the orange indus
try which followed the coming Of the frost were
largely the result of the panic among the orange
growers themselves. arising from insufficient in
formation, and . uniformly favorable experience,
extending through many years. and the few
weeks which have since elapsed have changed
the face OF nature, and lifted the cloud from
Fi0rida's great interest
We also add 10 the result OF our travels our
testimony 90 10 the enterprise, intelligence and
hearty hospitality OF the people, and our fiFm be-
lief In prosperous future for the State.
