Editor Florida 4 griculturist:
Please allow me to inquire why citrus
fruits, especially oranges, can Reproduced
so much cheaper in the West Indies or in
Mexico than in Florida? | have no ex-
perience in orange culture and cannot
speak from practical standpoint, but /
have theory. Ii oranges could only be
produced cheaply enough to be brought
within the reach of the masses of the
North, the demand would becomes so great
that all danger of any glut in the mar
ket would be forever past. At present
prices only the wealthy people of our
Northern States can afford to eat much
Southern grown fruit. The common
people cannot afford to pay cents for
an orange very often.
Is there not some way to produce cit
rus fruits cheaply enough SO that even
the commonest laborer may enjoy them?
am glad to see the orange growers alive
to their own interests, but / am more
than anxious to see the time come when
good, fresh health giving Florida fruits
can be pulled down from their lofty
heights as luxury for the wealthy to
the common level of daily food for the
day laborer.
Cheaper production and cheaper trans
portation can alone produce this result,
and to my mind these are the two most
important objects for which to strive.

The Proposition and the Opposition.


The Proposition and the Opposition.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
proposition to impose upon all oranges
imported into this country a duty OF 81
a box has, in certain quarters, met with
opposition. There are other fossils than
those OF the geologist, and most COM
munities boast ofspecimens whose iorma-
tion irresistibly inclines them toward the
losing side. 1t is enough for these OBJ
structionists that the agitation for pro-
lection has behind it men unused to fail
ure. The action of the corporations in
coming to the front with men and money,
both here and in Washington, reverses
their usual mental process; and it is in
deed worthy ofremark that the first move
ment to secure the cooperation OF our
railroads with our orange growers should
be one directed against that foreign COM
petition, which, if left unchecked, must
render abortive all measures meant to
promote the interests OF Florida and her
The manner in which the corporations
have moved upon the enemy indicates
their belief that the root of the trouble
has at last been reached, and all thought
full citizens may well share in the hope
that no division will now occur in the
ranks OF the growers in the fight for an
undivided American market for Ameri-
can oranges.
1t is not necessary to go into the mer-
it's of the case; they lie upon the surface,
and only those will dispute their existence
who lose in theory what others gain in
practice. The fate of the Florida orange
grower to-day, hangs trembling in the
balance but the balance is now in his
own hands, and those who still daily
with their doubts will do we'll to ponder
the prophetic words of speaker at the
Ocala convention of last month. This
gentleman, one of the most untiring
and influential workers present, emphat-
ically declared that unless the American
markets were fenced in for the exclusive
use OF the American grower, that we
should see the time, within three years,
when Florida grown oranges would not
bring Is cents in New York.
Thepicture framed in thOsefew words is
far from inviting, but it is one the eople
of Florida cannot afford to ignore Our
State has had her share of fattery, but
it is a share that has never yet declared
a dividend; and the situation cannow no
more be overdrawn than can the blind
ness of those who would perpetrate it.
The time has come to shift the scenery
and bring into view the unalterable fact
that until the American orange grower
has the American market in his own
hands he and his mustlie at the mercy OF
every foreign grower who uses that mar

Cotton VS.. Linseed Meal.

Cotton VS.. Linseed Meal.
Considerable interest is felt in this Sec
ton of the State in regard to the relative
value of cotton and linseed meal as a
fertilizer for our groves. Every orange
grower is anxious to feed his grove sue
cessfully at the least outlay, and hence
when linseed meal is offered at 50per cent
advance on the cost OF cotton seed meal
with the claim that it is the cheaper, be-
cause of it's extraordinary present and
lasting results, is it strange that some
more proof OF it's virtues are asked, than
the assertion of few who have used it?
Or if extra ordinary results are expert
enced from one or two years use, is there
not possibility Of some other cause in
f1uencing those results? Further, are We
to throw aside all the satisfactory expert
ence of these many years of the continued
use OF cotton seed meal and potash, and
the repeated analysis, which in most
crucial tests, gives cotton seed meal the
highest percentages OF phOsphoric acid,
nitrogen and potash of any seed used for
fertilizing. The following ANALYSIS, given
by j. B. Lawes, of Rothamsted, Eng
land, has not to my knowledge been
questioned and at this time is instruc-
tive:
Linseed cake has OF phosphoric acid
499 per cent, potash 1.65per cent, nitro
gen 4.75 per cent. Whenfe fed to cattle the
manure from one ton of linseed meal is
worth $19.72.
Cotton seed cake has of phosphoric
acid Z per cent, potash 3.12 per cent,
nitrogen $50 percent. The manure from
a ton OF cotton seed cake when fed to
cattle is worth $278 85 or more than 40 per
cent more valuable in elements of plant
food than from linseed cake. Could the ad-
vocates of linseed cake as q fertilizer re-
verse this analysis, orange growers would
not be slow to accept their statement,
that at $50 ton it was cheaper than
cotton seed meal at 500.
/ am seeking light, Mr.. Editor. | want
the cheapest and best. If the value of
fertilizer is in proportion to it's richness
of plant neutrality-suspicious. acid, potash
and nitrogen, other things being equal
land the two meals are as near being
equal in other things as two articles can
we'll be, for in total dry matter one con-
tains $50 to the other S90, and as seven
to eight in mineral matter,) it will take q
long course of demonstration to prove
the linseed meal superior to the cotton
seed. Ii it be so demonstrated, OF what
further use is the recruitment of our gov
erment to have displayed on barrel OF
bag the constituent parts OF fertilizers ?
If the low grade showing 40 per cent less
plant food,proves worth 5Oper cent more
in the market or in its application, we

ket as a dumping ground for his surplus
fruit.
The native grower has developed that
market, but his foreign rival has used it,
rent free; and, if he has studied it's tastes
and improved it's methods, it has been
only to find that rival each year more
completely filing the space designed for
himself alone. Florida is confined to one
market, which ought, therefore, in justice
to have but one entrance, and that one
on the American side. But open to all
the world it lies, and, though the native
grower has made thatmarket, he hasnot
vet made himself it's master.
That he should do so without delay by
means of an import duty on foreign fruit
is the proposition now put forth i'll his
behalf. That it is reasonable few will
deny, and that as much cannot be
said Of the feeble opposition here and
| there aroused, casts more doubt upon
| the sincerity OF the contestants than up
| on the ultimate success OF the movement
itself.
That the objections advanced are in
| deed few in number and feeble in charac-
| ter, may be inferred from the fact that
they are generally based upon the assump-
ton that the duty proposed will result
in an undue advance in the price of Florida
oranges No such result, however, is
probable and thenumber OfyOung groves
| that must annually come into bearing is
proof sufficient that enough oranges will
be thrown upon the market to keep it on
level with the popular purse for the
next ten years, and, in any case, such a
rise in prices would, by lowering the de.
mand, Immediately rectify ITSELF
| Buteven more econspicuOusly unreasona-
BILE is the objection raised in certain quart
ers in the North where the fine art of eva
sion has long been cultivated at the
public expense, to the effect thatif orange
growing in Florida does not pay, it will
certainly pay her people to quit it. The
advice is characteristic, but it is also
characteristic of the people of Florida to
be on the whole less inclined to do what
they ought to do than what they wish to
| do. And what they now most of all wish
to do is to pull q little more their way
that heavy blanket of protection under
which the iron-mongers of the North and
the cotton spinners of the East have SO
long preyed upon the South. The wish
is natural, the demand Just; and facti-
| tious opposition can serve only to deep
en- the determination of q people who
have at last discovered that if the foreign
grower of oranges does not go home the
Florida grower must go under. ii.
