establishing a national standard for
wheat, corn and other grain, which, if it
becomes law, will greatly facilitate IN

CONSIDERABLE dissatisfaction has been
| expressed by several orange growers in
the vicinity of DeLand ON the article on
the Lakeside grove which appearedin the
AGRICULTURIsT two weeks ago. The
facts given in the article were furnished
us by the superintendent of the grove
and we had and have no reason to doubt
their correctness. Mr.. Gregory reiter-
ates the statement that not an ounce Of
fertilizer, save tobacco stems, has been
used ON the grove since the freeze Of1SS6.
At the time OF the freeze, as before
stated. the grove was over year
and half old, but the cold weather
killed between 400 and 600 trees and cut
back very large majority OF the Others.
We may have made an error in estima-
ting the size of the trees, but, if SO, the
error is q slight one, and cert ainly unin-
territorial, as we could have had 10 pos
sible object in "booming" the Lakeside
grove, save to show what tobacco
will do on a grove that is intelligent
ly cultivated.

views of Mr.. Chamberlain, "the Micanopy

agree with us that the writer is close

expressing his views in most interesting

GOVERNOR FLEMING has notified all in

royalty on all phosphate dredged from

THE Fruit Exchange officials onot re-
treat from their first estimate of the or
ange crop Of the State this year. They
say they have the best of reasons for be-
lieving that it will amount to at least
100000. Other parties claim that it
will be less than 100000
