How to Get Rid of Palmetto.

In conversation with truck farmer
from the western portion of the county
yesterday morning upon truck farming
and the best methods of clearing land
and Kidding it of the obnoxious palmetto,
says the Orlando Sentinel, the writer
was informed of a very cheap and sue
cessful way of Kidding land Of this plant.
This farmer has just killed the palmetto
on five acres of ground by simply pour
ing little kerosene oil into the bud of
the plant. Every one knows that when
you kill the bud of the palmetto you have
killed the root, and he claims that in
short time after pouring the oil upon
the bud you can easily pluck it out with
your hand. He used less than barrel OF
oil on five acres of palmetto land. This
is certainly far less expensive and far
more expeditions than grabbing, and il
the roots are left in the ground they will
decay in about two years, thereby re-
turning to the soil the amount of vege-
table food that has been taken up in
their growth.

Timber Lands in West Florida.

The greatest source of wealth for Flor
ida, as reported in all the public docu-
ments, is it's imber-aggregating $780,
100000. Alabama furnishes a large
supply, but West Florida is the timber
section of the South.
A correspondent of the Nashville Lum-
herman looks forward to 1896 and pre-
diets that the supply of pine stumpage
will be in the hands of the syndicates, the
trusts and the capitalists. He warns
the small mill man, the man with the
limited means, men who possess only a
few acres of pine lands, to hold On to
their present advantage, and extend it
as far as possible.
He predicts that within five or six
years, yellow pine stumpage will COM
mand from 81 to $3.50 per thousand
feet, instead of from 80 to SIS per acre,
as the price now prevails. West Flori-
dams who own rich pine lands should put
upon them price which, according to
value, shall approximate our phosphate
beds. The timber supply is being rapidly
exhausted; the owners of small tracts
should get the benefit of the rise.-Times-

ton. A tariff of one dollar box means
approximately, an increase OF profit to
that amount, to every grower who ships
box of oranges out of the State. Ii
such duty increases, to the Northern
consumer, the cost of each orange half
a cent or more, as it would probably do,
every one should have sufficient patriot
ism to make such sacrifice for the well
fare of a large and important section of
the Union. Then it may be asked, what
will become of the poor italian and Mex
lean laborers? Well, in the selfish, but
slang phrase of the pevish, we may say
chat is none of our funeral
Not only would such a duty on Or
anges and lemons create large demand
for white labor by increasing wages, but
the general prosperity of the State could
not fail to find great advantages in the
measure, as it would do more to invite
immigration than all the associations
for that purpose combined, because such
tariff presents to them not mere state
ments and arguments, adroitly covered
with varnish, but the logic of hard dol
lars, than which no stronger reasoning
exists, as has been amply demonstrated
by experience. W. W. j.

For THE FLORIDA AeR1cuLruR1sT.
Duty on Oranges.

are being numerously signed for a duty
of one dollar per box on oranges. There
is not an orange grower in the State but
who should see, and without delay that
his name is on one uf these petitions, and
it is we'll worth going quitea distance, as
one often does to vote, to append his
signature in favor of Il measure that will
put money-and much ofit-directly into
his pocket. Let every one act at once.
No time is to be lost
In the present instance, this is not
political question. But simply one OF
cash. The average Floridian will vote for
his purse, in preference to party-every
time And, for that reason, which sinks
entirely out ofsight, the question of tar
iff or no tariff" as a partisan measure.
You will know just where to find every
intelligent man, who can relish and ap-
preciate, at it's true value, that which is
best for his own financial interests. This
appeal it is true, comes rather late. The
work is in progress and nearing it's end,
but still short time remains in which to
act.
Not only does higher duty on citrus
fruits, and the orange is not alone in the
scale, mean better prices TO the grower,
butlalso better wages to the employee. 1t
points to rapid expansion of our or
ange and lemon groves, and would,
doubtless, soon double the value of our
pine landslide natural result OF an in
creased demand. The industry would be
doomed as ithad never been doomed be-
fore. Such a concession as this could
scarcely fail to double the tide of immi-
grafton and place the State in the front
rank as one OF the most important in
the Union.
The present agitation commenced in
California, where the rapidly increasing
Mexican product, with it's cheap peon la
Dor, threatened to annihilate the orange
business in that State, justas the italian
and West India fruit keeps forcing down
lower and lower season after season, our
Florida product. 1t is the cheap foreign
labor that causes the mischief, and not
the bug-bear of over production. Let us
then tax this foreign labor by putting
prohibitory duty on what they send
us; and that duty should amount fully
in effect to the difference between the
wages of American and italian field labor
ers. That would, at best, equalize mat
ters-if it did nothing more.
Both causes-Italian and Mexican-are
tending fast to cheaper labor and depre-
ciate the value of our orange groves; at
the present rate with steadily declining
prices, the time must come when our
fruit will be driven from the market, as
per natural consequences, the period
must come when it will beno longer prof
liable to ship them in competition with for
eign paWb labor. While many indus
tries are judiciously protected in the
North and West-though some of them
injudiciously-th tropical fruit industry
has been almost totally neglected, and
this applies not alone to us, but to Geor
gia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona
and California.
The present duty on oranges is 25
cents per box, 13 cents per half box, 55
