oranges to supply the demand for clean,
bright fruit, and attributes the failure of
securing more satisfactory results to other
causes than those of over-production.
Among other things it thinks that the
transportation rates are too high, and
should be reduced at least so per cent.
1t does not join with some of our con-
tempOraries in sweeping denunciatiOn
of the commission men, although it ad-
mits that there is some cause for com
plaint in that direction, but lays the
blame chiefly to the orange growers
themselves, in the following language
every word of which we heartily endorse :
"Again we believe that the orange grow
ers themselves are in many instances to
blame. First, in shipping vast quantities
Ofgreen and inferior fruit second, in faulty
methods in picking and handling their
product; third, in overstocking such
markets as Chicago, for instance. We are
rather inclined to the opinion that the
Louisiana method is the best, where the
grower sells his crop on the trees some
times six and eight months ahead, the
purchaser to assume the risk ofgathering
and shipping. Now, the profits by this
method are not very large, to be sure, in
comparison with what is claimed by Cal
ifOrnia producers, but they are sure of at
least from 5000 to $500 per acre and we
have never known an intelligent and in
dustriOus grower of oranges in Louisiana
who failed to become rich, even when tax
ing the various drawbacks into consider
alton; and the New Orleans market itself
has never been Overstocked with first-class
fruit. Prof. H. E. VanDeman, in his able
report to the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, says:
The man who proposes to become a sue
cessful orange grower must be, in the first
place, true pomologist, in love with his
work and prepared to spend years of hard
work, money, and brains and the concen-
trated effort of a lifetime to attain his
end.
Orange culture should be placed on a
level with any honest. legitimate business,
fitted for those who love horticultural
pursuits. The man whose decided prefer
ence would be to carry on a stock farm
in the West or a grocery store in New
York, but who tries orange growing as an
easy way to fortune will be disappointed.
One must understand and like the soil.
climate and business, and not be afraid of
hard work, hard pan, or hard tack, dis
couragement by insect, freezes, dropped
and split oranges, rust, poverty of the
soil and the Wiles of the commission mer-
chant to be successful. And friend Van
Deman is right"

The most Improbable business any

controversy and so far as Mr. Steele and
myself are concerned propose to end it.
| do not consider myself infallible and

willing and desirous to have mistakes
pointed outif done in agentlemanly way,
but do not particularly wish it done in a
sneering and malicious manner. Ii any
one can show me an article from Mr.

a former correspondent, showing up the
ignorance OF the writer and the superior
wisdom of Mr.. Steele, | will cheerfully ac-
knowledge that am mistaken upon that

selfish motive, but simply to benefit 9th

and money it has cost me to learn it;
but | do not propose to find brains for
any one to understand, especially If it is
against their interest to do so. 1t has
cost our State too much in time, money
and reputation for any honest man to
advocate the planting of Northern fruits,
except it may be a few grapes in South
Florida; for if he does not know, he
might know, and neither legal nor moral
law will hold him guiltless through igno-
rance. Mr. Steele has given us the opin-
ion OF his correspondent upon the article

trast let me give you the opinion of one
OF mine to show you the difference in the
understanding of readers:

1t is perfect III every respect, except you
omit telling how Mr. S. succeeded in max
ing his thrifty vineyard, and this is the
vital thing. Now you should sit down
In serene frame of mind and begin at
the beginning and tell us, the readers of

yard was made Likely you will say it
was budded on native roots, but 90 into
the minutia and show exactly how to do
it, and | will start a vineyard when |

much on grape vines, and yet have no
grapes, that | am discouraged"
For one OF these correspondents it is a
pleasure to write: for the other-wel,
you write it. | would ask how [ am to
get into a serene frame of mind with the
great criticizer looming up before the
mental vision, with poised pen, ready to
dash upon some point that does not
agree with his superior intelligence. |
