kets, as it bids fair to do, but they haven't
shaken it; it has quadrupled it's business
in spite of the combination against it
and to-day it rests equally on the top OF
the situation. 1T has not been able to
make prices in the face of the great pre-
ponderence Of green fruit against it, but
it has steadily realized for it's patrons
the highest prices Of those prevailing in

BUYING UNFORTUNATELY.

The buyers are not likely to try it again
another year, at least not under the same
condition as this. And the growers have
learned that buying is not an unmixed
good and that the helter-skelter buying,
such ais we have had this season, is de-
cidedly an evil. 1t is often fair weather
delaying to be thrown up under adverse
circumstances and which the grower can
not enforce He is unable to fix market
price, not being conversant with pros
poets and conditions. There is no securi-
ty, no uniformity and the risk is after all
forced back upon him. But the great
danger is that can it be carried SO far as
to destroy his own business house. The
house that has forced ddowncommissiOns
forced prompt returns and an approach
to fair dealing, and has brought these
buyers here and protects the growers to-
day from conditions worse than they have
heretofore experienced.
Let us not sell indiscriminately, but if
we must sell at all, let it be through our
own business agent, placing our fruit in
it's hands, as we would real estate in the
hands of a land agent; the management
of our business house can fix an adequate
market value upon the fruit and get it,
and would stand between grower and
broken contracts and failures to pay
Don't be so anxious to sell on the trees.
Rather strengthen your house; there
salty lies, and with this accomplished
your f''nit, whether sold or handled

THE PRICES OBTAINED.

Failing in their efforts, they have re-
sorted to throwing dust in the growers
eyes, raising the hue and cry tn at it has
been the Exchange auctions that have
depressed prices The president of that
institution disposes OF that fallacy in an
article in this issue on another page.
There have been too many returns like
those reported by the last Leesburger to
make this sort of thing stick. We trust
we shall be pardoned for interlopating
the story here:
"Col. j. S. Hopson, of Emeralda, re-
Gently shipped 800 boxes of oranges to
the Fruit Exchange and at the same time
sent so boxes to E. l.. Goodsell, New
York The Exchange forwarded lao of
it's lot to New York. Both lots weresold
in the metropolis the same day.
''In due course Col. Hopson received a
letter and check from Goodsell, who
complained that the Exchange auction
had interfered with his getting good
prices, but that the colonel would find on
examination that he Co., had obtained
fully SOC. box more than the Exchange
that day had been able to get for it's
fruit. On referring to the acc cunt of sales
enclosed and seeing that Goodsell had
obtained only $1.42 per box net, Col.
Hopson's heart fell within him, for he
thought, of course, that he would get
only about 9Oc a box for the fruit sold
by the Exchange. Accordingly he was
overwhelmed with mingled fellings of sur
prise, amusement and qualification when
he opened another letter and found it to
contain ruturns from the Exchange of
$153 net per box for the 40 boxes sold
in New York.
"Thus Goodsell gave himself away, and
the wags say that the good sell of the
Exchange was blamed good sell on
Goodsell. !"

time reduce the percentage paid from ten
per cent. to eight per cent. This brings
the Exchange down to the close of the
season of 1889. Having fixed nucleus
about which to center prices it improved
somewhat, but the Exchange was not
strong enough, did not control fruit
enough to make much impression and
satisfactory. 1t had done well as tar as
it had gone, buthadnotgone far enough.
1t had demonstrated the wisdom of it's
plan, the ability of it's executive depart
ment and the integrity ofits management
the only thing lacking was the full sup
port of the growers.
THE ORANGE GROWERS UNION.
The discomfort, dissatisfaction and agi-
tation, among the orange growers, who
had attempted to better their condition
by patronizing home market scheme in
Jacksonville, which failed in any way to
bring about the desired results, crystalized
again last summer in the Leesburg con-
vention called by Mr. j. C. McK;bben.
After taking initiatory steps the conven-
tion adjourned to PaIatka, where was
held one of the largest and most repre-
sentative meetings of orange growers
ever held in the State. The sentiment of
the convention was not favorable to the
Exchange, most of the delegates were not
familiar with the Exchanges methods
and there was general feeling in favor
of new effort. Still the meeting had
been called to consider the situation from
all aspects and the Exchange was in
vited to send a delegation. Nearly all
the directors attended. 'The books were
opened" and the ins and outs of the
workings of this institution wereexl lain
ed in detail After athorough discussion
in committee and in convention, the lat
ter unanimously endorsed the Exchange,
and after asking and getting certain
changes made in it's methods, adopted it
as it's agent, to which the members of the
Union to be organized should pledge their
support. And the members of that con-
vention went forth to organize the
orange growers, and the Orange
Growers Union - the largest and
most powerful organization of orange
growers ever formed in the State-has
been the result.
EFFECT OF ORGANIZATION.
Has all this resulted in giving to our
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-12-18
EFFECT OF ORGANIZATION.

Has all this resulted in giving to our
own agency the whole or even the greater
part of the crop? Mol This determined
attitude on the part of the growers has
aroused "the trade" that has picked the
bones OF our disappointment these years
to their own fattening, and they have
vowed that they will not buy through
our business agency, but will go directto
the growers and buy direct and so ruin
this agency and so secure to themselves
full swing once more. They have sue
ceeded perhaps in getting hold of half OF
the fruit. To do this they have had to
purchase under limited time contracts
that have forced them into market with
green, sour fruit, crammed the market
full of it, born down prices below the limit
which even their low-down purchases
would not bear, and they have lost from
ten to twenty per cent. all around.
THESE ARE THE MEN.
And these are the men who would do
our business for us! Men who have not
the acuteness to take care of themselves,
and who cannot act together long enough
to win with the cards all in their own
hands! Why, we ourselves, with our Fruit
Exchange handling heretofore but tenth
Of the crop, have done better than. this.
What have they accomplished? Nothing,
save slaughter the fruit and ruin the
market. 1t is true they have prevented
our Exchange from controlling the mar

Geo. II. Kelly. representative of the Tucson Citizen, has gwen bis impress sions of Globe in well written arti- ele published in the Citizen of June 24th. It is chiefly descriptive of our many rich silver and copper mines. Speaking of Globes isolated position, and the necessity of closer eommuni- eaton with the Southern Pacific rail- road, and especilly with Tucson, Ar. Kelly says:
 If Globe was located On a railroad the recent rich strike in the Fame mine alone would attract hundreds of men 10 the camp. Next to railroad in importance to the people of Globe IS a good wagon road to Tucson This latter they believe they will get, and when the effort is made by tbc people of Tucson, who are equally interested, to build thIs road they will find their neighboring city wiling to lend help ing hand With the road as marked out in the report of Major Miltimore to the government, the entire freight hauling and passenger travel from that section would be directed to Tue son, and it would be mutual benefit to both places almost incalculable in extent, This road put in condition would send the mall from Tucson to Globe instead of from Casa Grando, and with good stage line running through without halt people could be landed in Globe in twenty-feur hours easily, aud hundreds of men locking for mining investments would go to Globe, that come to our territory and hardly ever hear of the place. The business men of Globe are live wide awake class and are wiling to take hold of any enterprise promising ben eft to them when satisfied that req serabla results may be expected.

By local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed condi- tion of the mucus lining of the Eusta- chsan Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have 6 rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

ON PLEASURE RENT.


 A few days since, the Midlothian club, consisting of gentlemen sirs, fish ermen, William McNelly, Thomas Pascoe, Alexander Love, Butler Fox, E, Il. Cook and A. H. Hackney, being hungry fer fish, concluded to have . day out, and repaired to Pascoe's lake, where droops the willow, and where carp, lazy and fat, sportive)y play the livelong day. Having camped at the lake on the opposite side from where Dr. Alexander Trippel, on previous day, so enjoyed bottle of beer and accompanying solids-hard boiled eggs and q sandwich--we trusted our selves to the deep blue waters, and none of the party being members of the tank, we locked with mingled dis trust and awe upon the world of water beneath the ripping keel, and watched the fnny shoals in their un- couth gambols as our boat with sails set, bellied to the breeze and elove the water hke a thing of life, to the op- posite shore. But It Is time to effect a landing, otherwise we would enter tain you for an hour with thrilling incidents of that perilous trip,
 Love, being fish-master general, prepared for action, by disappearing Tn the brush with an axe Tn his hand, and shortly returning with three long slender poles, he grasped the hoop-net and calling to Cook, in the offng, Boat-a-hoy was soon aboard, accom- panied by the dem1ohn and the rest of the crew. We shortly arrived at the feeding ground and after setting our net, which was as leng as hard shell Baptist sermon, we glided land ward and debated the question how to preserve the excess of the catch, after a rural meal, in order that heme folks would also enjoy the fruits of tue days sport,
 At this iuncturc we were not a llt tie startled by observing Butler Fox coming through the brush, like the wind on a frolic, and clothes veined with pea vines. We were impertu- nate to know what was up, and upon recovering his breath and winking hls dexter eye, he sad it was no go, not a fish had entered the net, nor was it at all likely they would swim into the l1arlor which Mir Pascoe had so kind ly purchased iu Philadelphia fer their accommodation,
 After finding "the jig was up, 50 far as netting was concerned, the hap py thought suggested itself to Fex, the nimrod of the party, that there was virtue in gun powder, and that he had a rife that would fetch 'em. He went a gunning and was successful, but 10 what extent we aeclne to mention for fear of beng laughed at, and reminded of the generally accepted extent of fsheaman's luck. That VIC were but little more successful with the gun than the net is mystery to me, for fish were everywhere in sight, unless, indeed, it was attributable to a tenn porary obliquity of vision of the which is sometimes the sequence of camping day with jolly good fellows. The fact Is we were not after fish, What we most desired was a good time-joy uncontrolled, and we had 1t in its fullest sense, in rowing, in swimming and in the satisfaction that we had not been cruel beyond the murder of a single fish, winch is at- tributed 10 a mis-directed shot,
