grove property, and we think, in justice
to the orange grower (who has rather
hard time oft at best) thatagreater differ
ence should be made in the assessment of
young or unproductive groves than is at
present allowed by law.
We think that in order to encourage
the industry orange groves should be as
sessed at the same value as unimproved
wild land until it shall have attained a
bearing and profitable age.
The injustice of the law as at present
enforced must be evident to every one.
Take for example the cases of two men
who came to Florida at the same time.
One buys a large body of wild land, the
other buys few acres of it. Thefrst man
makes no improvements; he allows his
land to remain in the condition it was in
when he purchased it The land is as
sessed at low price-say few dollars
per acre. On the other hand the man
who purchased a small piece Of land lays
out considerable money in having it
cleared and set to grove. In addition to
this outlay he is compelled to pay addi-
tional taxes, which increase from year to
year, although he gets no returns for his
labor for many years.
This appears to be tax on enterprise
and industry which is not favor able to
the development Of the State.

THE ALLIANCE CONVENTION.

The National Farmers Alliance Con-
vention finished it's business at Ocala last
Monday and adjourned.
Between eighty-fve and one hundred
delegc tes of the Alliance from other
States and q number of fraternal dele
gates from organizations in sympathy
with the Alliance were in attendance.
Much business in the interest of the
order was doubtless transacted, but as
yet it has not been made public.
The Farmers Alliance is evidently a
power IN the land, and this power made
itself felt at the last election, the most
notable effect being shown in the south
western States.
The Alliance is aware of this power,
and it is evident even to casual obser-
yer that it is rapidly drifting into pol
itics, andwhen it shall have gotten well-fit-
ted to the political harness, it is our
opinion that there will be an immense
political revolution.
From the inception Of this organza-
ton, We have worked against this evil
dent trend of the Alliance fully appreci-
ating as we did the many pitfalls in the
political path which it would encounter,
and believing that as a cooperative So
ciety, ignoring party as such, but throw
irg it's influence to the men who promised
most to the farmer, they could accom-
plish the most good for themselves and
the whole country.

TIE LEON COUNTY FAIR.

The first annual fair of the Leon
County Farmers Alliance held last week
is reported to have been a most fatter-
ing and encouraging success.
The displays were fine, and the atten-
dance large.

ample which the people OF other counties
should not be slow to follow. There is
no better educator than a good county
fair. There is no place where an intelli-
gent, close observing farmer can learn
more. He is brought shoulder to shout
der with his co-laborers, and he has an
opportunity of seeing the results of his
labors. He has an opportunity of see
ing what others have done and of learn
ing how they accomplishit. He can get
many new ideas, which will more than
pay him for the trouble and expense of
attending the county fair.
By all means let us have more fairs let
every county in the State have a fair
every year. Tt need not be an elaborate

A GOOD BUSINESS MOVE.

Manager Ives of the Fruit Exchange did
a good stroke of business when he char
tered the "Brixham" as fruit carrier
between Jacksonville and New York. 1t
was a good stroke both for the orange
growers and the Fruit Exchange, but es-
pecally for the latter.
The orange growers OF Florida will GER
tainly appreciate the efforts OF the Fruit
Exchange to get their oranges to mar
ket as cheaply as p ossible, and we believe
they will show their appreciation bv their
patronage.
If two Or three ships instead of one had
been chartered it would have been better
still, but the Exchange has promised to
put on more if the first one is patronized
sufficiently by the orange growers to
Justify it.

CAMPHOR CULTURE.

John NJ. Maisch, Phi. D., at the Phar-
maceutical meeting Of the Philadelphia
College OF Pharmacy, held in that city on
October Dist, read the followingin terest-
ing paper on the Camphol' Industry of
Florida:
The daily papers have recently referred
to experiments carried on in Florida with
the view Of introducing there the produc-
ton of camphor. Messrs. A. J. Beach &
Son, nurserymen, at Palatka, Florida,
havefOr several years past, paida tentiOn
to the culture of the tree, and during the
present autumn produced sOmecamphOr.
Dr. Chas A. Heintsh, Lancaster, Pa,
has been in correspondence with the firm
named, and has kindly placed at my dis
posal several letters, from which the fol-
lowing information is cleaned, that ap-
pears to be Of general interest:
The camphor tree grows in Florida in
almost any kind OF soil, is in growing
condition for about nine months during
the year, and is not affected by cold
weather. After two Or three years, it will
grow with little or no care, and even in
the poorest land was found tt. have pro-
duced at twelve years trunk fourteen
inches in diameter. Another tree, ten
years old, has grown two trunks, each
ten feet high and twelve inches in diam
eter, the total height the treeebeing be-
tween thirty=five and forty feet
1t is apparent from these statements
When between four and five years old, it
has attained height of ten feet and a
trunk diameter OF four inches. From
some trees of the size Messrs Beach cut
branches about oneinch thick at the base,
and with the leaves, subjected them to
distillation, the wood and every other
part OF the tree being rich in camphor.
Using an improvised still, the yield from
thirteen pounds of branches was a COM
mon teacupful of crude camphOr, but it
is estimated that about One-half of the
product was lost in distillat ton. The still
consisted OF a common iron kettle, hold
ing ten gallons, to which was fitted a
wooden cover plastered over with clay,
and this was connected with a one-inch
galvanized pipe. The kettlewas charged
with the camphor branches and small
quantity OF water, and the distillate was
collected in a five gallon cracker can the
condensed oil, by reducing the tempera-

A TAX ON INDUSTRY.

The matter of taxes in Floridais some
thing that is CONSTANT upsetting the
equilibrium of our people, for while weare
not taxed as heavy as the citizens of
some of our sister States, the burden is
greater for the reason that very great
portion OF the property taxed is unpro-
ductive. So
This is eminently true in reference to
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-12-10

ture, separated the camphor. q 1t is
, claimed that ifcultivated on sufficiently
extensive scale the camphor-tree would
yield much larger profit in Florida than
any other product OF the soil. In add
ton to this, it should be noted that the
camphor tree is an evergreen of hand
some appearance, and hardy in that eli
mate; that it is not eaten by cattle and
other stock, and that in few years it
does not require the protection Of fence
being then strong enough not to be bro
ken down by cattle. 1t fourishes in al
most any soil like the native pine and
oak is no tattacked by insects, no loss
occurs 10y the dropping or stealing OF
fruit, and every part of the tree can be
utilized. Messrs Beach think hat, in ten
years, more camphor trees will be grow
ing in Florida than orange trees, and
that this industry will prove to be more
profitable than the production of sugar.
At the present time the price foryearlings
is from 25 to 5Ocents, and for older trees
proportionately more
From their experience thus far gained,
they outline the treatment OF camphor
trees as follows: At the age of four or
five years the first cutting is made for
distillation by pruning from the ground
to the height at which the head of the
tree is to beretained. From that time on
the head is sbeared in suitable manner,
without neglecting the pruning from the
ground up, with the view OF making the
head larger. With this treatment, distil-
lation is carried on every year, and in
twelve or fifteen years the trunk of the
tree will then have attained sufficient
size to be sawed into lumber, 50 that the
valuable camphor wood may also be util-
lied. The trees being set fifteen feet
apart. the stumps may be allowed to
produce shoots until young trees have
been raised and are sufficiently advanced
to take the place of the old aones,a VIXEN.
the stumps are uprooted and subjected
to distillation. twill be seen that moth
ing goes to waste.
1t should be stated yet that the claim
of the newspapers of the greater strength
OF the camphor produced in Florida, as
compared with the imported camphor, is
erroneous. The specimen here shown has
an odor differing from that ordinarily
observed in commercial camphor, the
odor OF sa'rol being distinctly recogniza-
BILE. After the complete separation of the
volatile oil with which the camphor is
still impregnated to some extent, the
properties Of the latter, including odor
and composition, will doubtless beidenti-
cal with the corresponding properties of
the camphor imported from China and
Japan.

LAST year, says the DeLand News,
"McNeil & Allen sol d an orange grove, at Beres
ford, to E. *. Blake. OF Chicago, for $500 This
year Mr.. Blake has refused $4,000 for the orange
crop on said grove. Mcneil has not been heard
from but Allen feels like kicking himself" This is
evidently another of those cases where some
people didn't know good thing when they saw,
or rather had it.

SAYS the Orlando Reporter: 'The Flor

for this will mean a ten million dollar crop ten
