think am not wrong in saying that the
cattle of Florida afford more taxable
property than almost any other thing
except land [ think it is something
like $5,0O0,O0O. The cattlemen say it
Will destroy us and the economical men
say it takes away the taxes. We are the
only friends of a fence option bill in the
State of Florida. All the rest OF the
State is the cattle country.
Mr.. PHELPs.-I am glad that some
| one will report the failures that are in
| the way here as well as the rosy side OF
everything. Fifteen years ago 1 was
talking with a man in Orange county.
| He said the great fight was going to be
| between the cattle men and the orange
| growers. He said he didn't think it was
going to be settled in twenty-five years.
Two years ago | fenced some prairie
land with wire fence and put some stock
| in it. The wires were cut. [ expected
they would be cut. could have proved
who done the cutting but did not. l
bought more land and put more fences
around it, but since then | have had no
trouble. To get to my stock now have to
GO through two wire fences and across q
forty. | did not think any legal redress
was going to accomplish anything with
me. The same thing he speaks OF is true
in reference to hogs. l believe there are
in the Jessup country six hundred hogs
that men have to pay taxes upon, and
| that these same men do not pay taxes
on eighty acres of wild land. They have
lived On them and they are honest men,
and do not consider that they are doing
me wrong to get pasture for their swine.
[ think that the law does not settle such
things, but think that bye and bye they
will see that they can get their living by
some other way, but [ do not think [
would accomplish anything by furnishing
them. [ think we need to agitate this
subject There is much Of that land
that would produce cane and corn
will out any fertilizer, but it would not
pay to put hog-proof fence around it.
Grasses that | have put out have pro-
duced very prolifcaIly to take care of my
stock. Sometimes find eighty hogs on
it, and have also found twenty to forty
| goats that were not mine all feeding on
it and they we're looking well. Before
we get up to be such great State we
have got to have local option law in
regard to fences, but how to get that is
the question.
Mr.. WRIGHT.-I am in favor of making
it county option law when it gets to
making fences. The hog interest of Flo
rlda is very little as compared with the
cattle interest, and we must recognize
| the rights of the cattle men. | am salts

laws are not passed except on public
sentiment. Public sentiment must be
nodded, must be formed, must be made
and the only way to make it and to form
it is to press the matter am in favor
and if no one else does it before this meet
ing adjourns, [ will make motion my
self for the appointment of committee
whose duty it shall be to draft a bill ask
ing the Legislature to enact law and
make an appropriation for publishing
the proceedings of this Society. Now
there may not be but fifteen members in
the Legislature of Florida who are inter-
ested in horticulture, but [ believe could
say that every member ought to be in
terested in whatever rebounds to the in
terest of the State at large. That is my
views of q statesman, any other is o
demagogue. He cannot reach out and
see what his neighbOr wants unless it in
terests him directly. Now we must mold
the sentiment by presenting to the Legis-
lature q bill asking for what we want.
Another one in regard to our Stock law
which as it stands on the Statute books
OF Florida to-day is one of the greatest
drawbacks to our developments Amend
that law SO as to prevent at least swine
from running at large. Now the only
way to reach the people is by discussion,
by writing articles in the press, which the
people will read Show the unity of in
terest which exists between Horticulture
lists, preachers, doctors, cattlemen lum-
bermen and farmers. The only way we
can do any good for. ourselves is to con-
tinually work without calling harsh
names, persistently, until we win, for win
we can and win we must.
Mr.. BIELBY.-It might not be uninter-
esting to the members of the Society to
say just one word on that same herd law.
| quite agree with the gentleman from
Orange county as to what constitutes q
statesman. But as q rule the Florida
Legislators are not statesmen they are
practical Legislators and practical men.
If you can show them that dollar spent
is going to bring back dollar, to some
one in whom they are interested, they are
willing to vote dollar, but ifyOu cannot
show them they do notvote it. Men look
at things from different stand points, and
to the man who never saw an orange tree,
it is not easy to make him believe that
an orange tree is better than a COW. He
| has seen lots of COWS. HeOWns them and
knows all about them. His bread and
his fathers fathers bread has come from
them. 1t is a practical question with him
purely. He is a practical man and he is
right in being just what he is. When we
can put men OF larger views there we will
make a step forward and it is practical
question after all.
| want to go on and create a public
sentiment in favor Of this Society, but [
believe there is more Importance in Great
ing the county option fence law. 1t was
introduced last year but it did not have
friend. In the senate bill, and very
good one indeed, was introduced. One
which carefully guarded the interests OF
everyone concerned in the matter and
left it optional with q majority of the
voters of the counties. At the same

to help that along. They know about
that because it comes right home to
them; but will venture to say that out
of the one hundred members present at
the last session of the legislature,
there we're not fifteen out of the whole
number who were directly interested in
horticulture, and that there were not
twenty-five who were directly or Indirect
ly interested. All that portion of the
north of us are not horticulturists; they
are farmers, lumbermen and cattlemen,
and when we ask an appropriation OF
$4,000 they do not like to make it.
They do not know anything about or
ange growing and they do not knowany-
thing about it's value, and when you con

are interested in orange culture We
Mr. DUBoIs.-We should not send cat
tlemen to the legislature.
Mr. BIELBY.-We should correct the
public sentiment, and in the first place [
believe it necessary in correcting that
sentiment to establish the fact by a
correct census OF the value of the indus
try. Not that we ask them to give us
something, for nothing but that we ask
them to give US money, which will be
returned q thousand fold to the State of
Florida
Mr. PHELPS. i have thought a great
deal about this matter for years; [ am
very glad that the Honorable Mr.. Bielby
has brought it up in just the shape that
he has. Twenty years ago | went to
Washington before Congress twice OH a
bill working to get certain things done. /
was told by Senator Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, that edo you know that the
United States passes no laws, nor do the
States pass laws until they are de-
manded by the people," There is the gist
of this whole matter. [ have made re-
ports to the honorable Commissioner of
Agriculture for the last two or three
years, that we might show what this in
Guetry was worth to the State, but until
we are able to do it think it is waste of
time to discuss any means Of how to do
it until We get those reports made named
by Mr.. Bielby.
AS there is no motion before the house
| would like to make one. In the two
fairs that have been held under the aus
pieces of this Society we have been pro
ceeding under the rules that were adopt
ed by the State Association held at Jack
sonville and by the rules adopted by
the South Florida Association for judg.

The reports Of the secretary and

to the Society.

STATE APPROPRIATION.
Mr.. BlELBY.-I think at the last session
of thelegislature, that in the bill creating
the Department of Agriculture, therewas
this much done for the interest of Florida:
The secretary of the Agricultural Depart
ment was instructed to take a census of
the fruit productions OF the State. If
am not mistaken it will be found in the
bill for the creation of the Department Of
Agriculture.
If it is our purpose and desire, as it Ger
tainly is, and if it is our right that the
legislature OF Florida should encourage
the development of these horticultural
Industries, it is our duty to show that
there is something already established
and that there is ground work upon
which we base our application for money.
We all know how imperfect on the whole
was the appropriation for the work Of
the Agricultural Bureau, and that this
census cannot be taken without the cor
dial cooperation of the fruit growers Of
the State.
l would like to call the attention Of
the Society and it's president to the fact
that we ought to cooperate in showing
to the world the worth and value of our
horticultural interests and gain public
sentiment in favor Of an appropriation
for this Society. | know perfectly well
that you cannot, and do not upon the
whole, think that we have any right to
expect that the men who meet in Talla-
hassee should appropriate money for a
cause about which they know nothing.
1t may be said that it is their fault be-
cause they know nothing, but the fact re-
mains that they know nothing. When
you talk to them about cattle they know
all about that, and they are perfectly
