A Black Eye for the Croakers.

There was time not many years ago
when the orange growers of Florida were
frightened nearly out of their boots by
the periodical croakings of the cronic
croaker. The refrain of these ominous
croakings was always the same - cover
production" Four years ago, when the
orange crop of the State was mere
bagatelle as compared with what it is
now, and when the market was depressed
and ruined by self-competition and the
prices realized for fruit were far from
profitable, these Omni-present croakers
were in their glory they gloated over
our misfortunes, and were never weary
of asking eff you get less than ninety
cents per box for youfruit now, when the
entire crop of the State is less than one
million boxes, how much do you suppose
you will get in a few years when the crop
will have more than doubled?"
The question has been fully answered
by the Fruit Exchange, and for once, at
ICGSU Tic CIOdhCIS IluSL UCthC CJ SCCbU
The crop produced last year, although
more than double that OF four years ago,
netted the producers nearly twice as
much. To be exact and compare the
crop of 1SSS-S9 and that of 1S99-9O, land
the price received the former year with
that obtained the year just past, the
figures are as follows, and we are sure
that every grove-owner in the State will
peruse them with a great deal of satisfac-
ton, as they are averitable bow Of prom
Use to them.
According to the Florida Fruit Ex-
change, than which there is no better
authority, the statement for the two
years in question is
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-05-28
SEASON.

insignificant as this little table may
appear yet it contains great amount of
encouraging matter to the fruit growers
of Florida. 1t forever settles the ques-
ton of over production; it shows that
the demand for the Florida orange
will more then keep pace with the increase
OF supply; it shows that during the sea-
son just~p past, when the supply exceeded
that of the previous year by 2OO,O 900
boxes, the net price obtained for the fruit
was nineteen cents per box greater, or in
other words an increase in the product
of about ten per cent. gave a correspond
ing increase in the net price of about fif-
teen per cent. These, we say are encour-
aging facts, and facts they are, not theor-
ies
What brought about this great change
is also matter of no little Importance,
for by studying we may benefit ourselves
in the future by avoiding mistakes that
may have been committed and awaiting
ourselves of the accumulated experience
and knowledge.
In the first place cooperation was the
chief factor; ycombining our shipments
through the medium of the Fruit Ex-
change we abolish to a very great ex-
tent the runious competition among our
selves; in a measure we were in a position
to dictate prices instead of accepting
what was offered. This latter phase will
in time be more thoroughly developed as
our people awake to the Importance of
cooperation, and the Fruit Growers
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-05-28

Union includes in it's membership every
orange grower in the State.
However, cooperation is not the only
thing that has caused the clouds to lift
from the orange industry Of the State.
True merit always wins it's way; it may
havea hard road to travel and long one
but it will get there in time. The Florida
orange has won it's way, as it were, into
the hearts of the people, or at least into
the markets of the country, and like any
well-conducted and well-advertised bust
ness is increasing in profit and import
ance as the years roll by and the true
worth of the article offered for sale be-
comes know.
And again, our people have learned in
the sad and expensive school OF expert
ence that it will not pay to be anything
but thorough il their business. Where
in the past the oranges were dumped
into boxes without regard to grade or
size, thrown into afreightcar and sent to
any market that first suggested itself to
the shipper, they are now carefully pick
ed, graded and packed and sent to tho
market by an agency = the Exchange
that makes business OF studying the
demands of the country. This no doubt
has had a great deal to do with the in
crease of prices.

The Increased Duty.

The Mckinley bill, which provides for
an increase in the duty on oranges and
lemons of about 100 per cent, has passed

doubt) and secures the presidents. sigma
ture (Which is a foregone conclusion)
our coming crop of oranges will
be protected by tariff OF SO cents per
box, as the bill, if passed goes into effect
on the first July.

concerning the "orange section, " i'll this
bill, we publish it below entire. We trust,
however, that our correspondents will

Must Stick to Botanical Names.
Editor Florida Agr1culturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
see by your report of the proceedings
of the Florida Horticultural Society that
after listening to my paper on palms,
with list of hardy and half-hardy species,
the hearers were unhappy because they
did not get the common Names" AS
ninety-nine hundredths of them have no
common names, or names other than the
botanical ones, either in English or any
other language, these aspirations are
hard to gratlfy. The names that are
transferable might be translated, but
that would be as reasonable as if the
maker of business directory should put
my name in as "Gift-of-God," Grassy
Field = should '9kick" and the general
public would be none the wiser. The
poor palms can't 'kick"; these would be
misnomers, but | have no doubt they
would punch their thorns into them with
the greatest pleasure if they had the
chance.
The botanical names are just as hard

Bulletin No. 9.

We have received Bulletin No. OF the
Florida Experimental Station from the
chronological Department., of which DR..
j. G. Neal if chief.
This Bulletin is unquestionably valu-
able one, and should be in the hands of
every farmer, gardener and fruit grower
of the State
AS the Bulletin is published for gratu-
lions distribution, and may be had on
application to the director, j. p. DePass,
Lake City, we will not attempt a review
of the much valuable matter it contains,
further than to say that the insect foes
and friends of Florida are discussed in a
practical and comprehensive manner, and
considerable space devoted to the exter-
mination OF the former and the protec-
ton of the latter.
Inconcluding his ''notes" DR.. Neal says:
"Let me urge again that all who read
this Bulletin aid the Experiment Station
and themselves, first, in obtaining col
lection of insects, especially the nOXiOus
ones, in every stage of their existence.
Secondly, in learning of the habits of all
insects found within the State, good, bad
or Indifferent; written your observations
when you send the insects, giving date of
capture, place found, plant infested, dam
ages done, and if insecticides are used,
give kind and method of using.
''Send insects in small tin box; if alive
send in the box specimens of the food
plant. Never send anything in paper
box, it is invariably crushed in the mails.
Address, plainly, "Entomologist, Florida
Experiment Station, Lake City, Fla.,"
and if answer is required, wait with patti
ence. In some cases, the specimens must
be sent to specialist for study, there be-
ing no named collection as yet at the
College or Station, requires this proceed
ure"
We Join with the Entomologist in urg-
ing our people to lend their aid in the
work, SO that the labors of our preda to
enemies may become better known, and
put in position to more successfully
combat their ravages.

The authenticated news as to the Walnut
Grove dam, in the Hasssyampa river, Of
Arizona, shows that the worst fears that
have been entertained were well founded.
The destruction of the dam was complete,
and the loss of life includes nearly all of the
population that lay in the path of the
food.
The reports indicate that this was al
most an exact reproduction of the Johns
town disaster. A high dam, holding an
immense body of water, was swept away by
the stress of heavy rains. A destructive
wave tore down the valley for miles,
sweeping everything before it. Had the
valley been as populous as that of the
Conemaugh, the loss of life and destruction
of property would have been as great. But
as it is in q new and thinly settled country
the deaths are thought to be only 40 or 90,
an appalling total by ITSELF but of small
magnitude compared to the Johnstown
destruction.
The Arizona dam was comparatively
new structure and for that reason its fatal
weakness is more inexcusable than that at
South Fork. But when such fatal results
ensue, it argues the greatest need for safety
wherever such structures are undertaken.
