ture be large business in the western
counties is a foregone conclusion. The
first bushel of peaches received in Cincin-
natl this season was from DeFuniak
Springs, and netted the grower $15.
That of course was an exceptional case,
and ought not to set people crazy to
grow peaches at that price, for very few
would reach one-tenth of that figure
Those were sold early in May. The gen
eral crop ripens in June, July, August
and on through September and few
in October. These, OF course, are not SO
valuable as shipping varieties, though
usually better fruit There never has
been known in this county such an abund-
ance of fine peaches and pears as the
present season has shown. Every day
wagonloads are hawked about the streets
at so cents per bushel-as fine as anyone
could ask. They will measure from seven
to nine inches by the wagon load. The
greater part are clings, and that is a
mistake discovered unfortunately too
late
Canneries and evapOratOrs are badly
needed Evaporators require SO much
less capital to establish and less skilled
labor to run them, have no doubt they
will be first introduced 1t is under con
sideration among Alliance people to es-
tablish an evaporation in Marianna in
time to work up the next crop of fruit.
Many hundreds of bushels will go to
waste, as the black berries did, and the
plums and many other things that might
be made to pay a fair profit.
The kind of immigration we need is not
to make cotton and tobacco and syrup
OF our sugar cane, but to work up what
our own people produce, and grow more
fruit and vegetables The trouble about
most immigration to East and South
Florida is that they all pitch in' to or
ange growing, that being what they
come to Florida to do, and the result is
an overstocked market and town prices.
| do not mean in the least to deprecate
oranges, but to a non-grOwer it looks
like less can be done with that fruit than
with almost any other. 1t can be pre-
served and made into marmalade, and if
were not a "teetotaler" might say wine,
but as think "wine is a mOcker and strong
drink raging" and curse to the land, L
DON'T like to write the word except to con-
denim it's manufacture, sale and use.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT
Our Peaches.

Much has been said and written of
grated, budded and native seedlings of
Spanish and Persian strain, and the
knowing ones do not seem to agree. One
thing we do know, and that is that we
grow as fine peaches here in this very
Jackson county as Maryland can boast
of. The native peaches we do not know
by name as they seem to have been here
always, and if even they had distinctive
names, they are lost in the dim ages long
credited nurseries are, we suppose, graft
ed or budded and most of them are doing
well for the present Whether this well
doing will continue for more than few
years remains to be seen.
Some young trees set last spring ayear
ago have borne fruit this season. Ayoung
orchard set within the corporate limits of
this town last November year ago bore
fine peaches, which ripened in May. On
some trees, not exceeding six feet high
and an inch and half in diameter,
counted all the way from sixteen
to thirty-four peaches. These are all inn
ported stock. Two weeks ago first week in
July) some peaches, fine as ever saw, were
brought in from the vicinity of Campbell
ton, in the extreme northwest portion of
the county The average measurement
was eight inches, while many went over;
very few, in whole wagon load, fell be-
low that size Greenwood, too, has amin
mense crop of peaches, and one specimen
from there a day or two ago stretched
the tape slightly at eleven inches around
it. We did not weigh any, as it was not
quite convenient.
The Greenwood early trees came,
think, from Mr.. Berckman's nursery.
There are many as good, and | think
usually better favored of the native seed
lings. The natives are not SO large as a
general thing, but in all other respects
many of them are superior to theimport-
ed fruit, while of course many are utterly
worthless. The area set to peaches is
constantly being increased. One man in
the southern part OF Jackson county has
sixty trees in bearing of the Nectarine va
riety This is their third year in bearing,
and he states that they average four and
a half bushels to the tree. | have a sam
pie of half dozen of the fruit before me.
They are clingstone, of dark red color,
with a narrow streak of yellow, or a
blotch of mottled red and yellow on one
side. The shape is oblong, measuring
pretty uniformly five and half inches.
Not a worm is to be found The variety
was in general but limited, cultivation
here many years ago, but from lack OF
proper care from the busy corn and cot
ton planters they deteriOrated and went
out as unsuccessful This is the first Ell
fort | have known made towards grow
ing them for shipment, and the fruit GER
tainly seems to be of sufficient firmness to
bear shipping much better than other
kinds. These are all seedlings trees.

ganio matter, Others live entirely upon
living organized tissues. These latter
are known as parasitic fungi, and most
OF the diseases OF plants grown upon the
farm are caused by them. The fungi
are Plants as truly as any unhesitatinRly
called such, and hence description of
them comes within the province of the
botanist.
THE majority OF parasitic fungi oaus-
Ing plant diseases consist primarily OF o
net work OF threads of nbout the same
hneness as spiders web. These grow
ing threads force their way through the
tissues that become Effected by disease,
causing thereby disc olorations, decay and
shriyeling OF the pats. They are in re-
atty tine tubes whose walls ave thin and
delicate, and within which is clear or
often finely granular substance known az
protoplaam. Through the thin walls of
these threads food materials in the at-
footed or host plant are readily absorbed.
in this way the fungus abstracts for its
own growth the nourishment which the
plant itself needs the result being that
the vitality of the host plant is more or
ieEs reduced IN proportion to the progress
made by the fungus.
"At any time in Delaware, between the
middle OF May and the last of June, there
may appear upon the leaves numerous
reddish-brown spots, of sharply defined
outlines, which vary in sizs from l-29 to
l.5 inch in diameter. They are most
strongly marked upon the upper side of
the leaf, although the same spot 10 visible
upon both sides. Examined closely they
are found to have lighter reddish yellow
centre, outside of that q darker reddish
brown border; and outside OF that again
ring OF still darker color. Covering
these spots, particularly forming ring
within the border, are numerous minute
black pustles, barely discernible to the
naked eye. The sporting of the leaves
may make its appearance one or three
weeks before the first appearance Of rot
on the berries. At Mr.. Anthony's, near
Smyrna, the rot made its appearance
upon the foliage about the third of June.
while the berries did not snow signs of
the rot until about the 21st OF the same
month. From the foregoing considerG-
tions the lenf stage OF black rot, of littis
Importance in itself, becomes valuable

Charles Dougherty, con of Collector
John j. Dougherty, was in the county
tax Office some minutes after the usual
closing hour, 6 O'Clock, Monday even
ing, when, at about 5.l5, big colored
man, described as very dnrk, came into
the office and demanded his receipt. He
talked very impudeutly. When told that
the Office was closed and that it was
going to be locked up, no became more
aggressive, stating in q threatening way
that he would remain until he got his re-
ceipt.
Young Dougherty had gone to the stove
to FIX tue fire before leaving for the night
when without warning he found himself
suddenly assailed. There was flash OF
some weapon, when the tax collectors
son found himsslf ont over the right eye
and in the right cheek. The two cuts
were made by ono downward blow. For
tunately they were not deep, but the eye
was saved by the nlerest chance Young
Dougherty said this morning that he does
not know his brutal assailant'a name, but
undoubtedly he can identity him.
About10 O'Clock on Tuesday couple
OF representatives Of the city press were in
the Office chatting with Collector Mckee
and Charles Dougherty. The latter's
father was not present.
NO RUSH OF POLL TAxABLEs.
II wish you would again ask" said
Collector Mckee to the reporters, "the
citizens who want to pay their takes to
come now. We want both property tax
payers and poll-tax men," 1t was q
natural enough request, for at the time
referred TO the Office was entirely
deserted. No one Was present but the
reporters, Collector Mckee and CHARLES
Dougherty.

The reporters then adjourned to visit
the office Of the Republican INDECENT

Sherman. in his Forum article, puts

he has missed some of the newspaper

nothing very alarming for the future of
the country in his figdres, even il we
ooncede their accuracy, a matter that
must rest largely on guesswork. Natural
causes will work redistribution Of many
OF these millions; some millionaires will
grow poor; some poor men will become
miliionaires; but the good sense of the
whole people will in the end correct the
evils Of q tarif system which taxes the
