Florida Experimental Station.

Among the many points Of interest at
Lake City the one in which we were most
interested was the State Experimental
Station, and through the kindness Of DR..
Neal we were shown what had been done
there, and the difficulties under which the
managers had worked were explained.
Little over year ago a large portion
of the land of the station was covered
with a dense growth OF. timber, princi-
pally oak, hickory and bay, and was as
dense a hammock as is found anywhere.
Those who have cleared this kind of land
can appreciate the amount of labor and
time required to put forty or fifty acres
in perfect condition for crops of any kind,
having the stumps and roots all taken
out. A portion Of the land was also low
and Doggy, necessitating alarge amount
Of ditching to put the land in tillable
shape. All this and che hundred and one
other things that usually turn up in
starting new enterprises have retarded
experiments of nearly every kind.
Experiments, however, are going on,
devoted principally to corn and cotton.
There was a marked difference in the
various treatments, and we look for a
most interesting bulletin when theexperi-
ments are completed. 4.
One OF the most interesting experiments
is that of growing grasses from Japan
and other foreign countries, which has
never been tried anywhere in the United
States. If one grass is found among all
that are being tried, that will give agood
pasture or make good hay, the expert
ment will be worth more than the cost
of running the entire station for one year.

The Cork Oak in Florida.

The question as to the fitness and prof
itableness of the cork oak (Quercus
suber) in Florida, has often been dis
cussed in ourcolumns, there beinga great
diversity of opinion on this as on all 9TH
er questions, some being of the opinion
that the tree would not grow well in this
latitude and others while admitting this.
think that it's yield would not be profita-
BILE enough to justify it's cultivation. This
latter point is as yet matter of doubt,
but as to the former there can be no ques-
ton. While in Lake City last week we
were shown cork tree about six feet in
circumference, healthy and vigorous and
having a covering of bark more than
two inches in thickness.
This tree stands in the corner of Prof.
Noodles yard on Marion street, and
whilenot as large as thewater oaks in the
vicinity, gives promise of obtaining a
size fully equaling that of it's brothers
when it shall have obtained their age, al
though encyclopaedia writer's claim that
they do not attain large size in their
natural habitat-a height of forty feet
being the maximum. If this is true
it would seem that the tree would
do better in Florida than in it's natural
home-as the one in Prof. Noodles yard,
although comparatively young is al
ready more than forty feet in height. The
tree lives and grows for a hundred and
fifty years.
Operation of removing the bark (from
which is made the cork of cOmmerce)
should be repeated every six or seven
years, as it assists the tree in it's growth
when properly done.
Among other rare plants in the Prof
fessor's yard is a Chinese tea plant,
which is healthy and vigorous and gives
promise of long and useful life.

After going through the grounds and
looking at the poultry and live stock, we
visited the laboratory. 1t is needless for
us to say that it was complete in every
respect, and we found the professor busy
analysing phosphate, and from the num-
Der of sample analysed it is evident that
he has been kept busy for some time past.
From the laboratory we visited DR..
NeaPs chronological department, and
here we spent several hours very profit
ably. The Doctors display of useful and
injurious insects was especially interest
ing, and we wish our farmers could spend
few hours there. They would then be
able to distinguish their friends among
the insect family. 1t is impossible to go
into any details at present thatwill be of
benefit to our readers and therefore do
not attempt it, but will keep them posted
from time to time as to what is being
done. We thank DR.. Nealfor his kind and
generous treatment to us while there

Condition of Florida Crops.

Commissioner Wombwell OF the Florida
Department of Agriculture has just is
sued his Report on the Condition OF Flor
ida Crops for April.
The report covers thirty-nine counties
of the State and shows a general aver
age as compared with last year as follows
Corn, 1O5; rice, "a; oats, 80; sugar
cane, 1O5; tobacco, 90; Irish potatoes,
70; tomatoes, II; egg plants, 73; cucum-
bers, 70; English peas, rs; beans, IS;
Strawberries, 80.
The low averages as given above are
attributable to two prime cause.-the
freeze of March, which destroyed the ten
der vegetation and necessitated re-plant-
ing at an unpropitious season, and the
unprecedented drouth of the past six
months.

Girdling Grape Vines.

To determine the question whether the
practice of girdling the grape vine pro-
duces increased size at the expense of
quality, says Orchard and Garden, care
full experiment has been made during the
past season by DR.. Jabez Fisher, atthein-
stigation of the Massachusetts Expert
mental station. The results show a de-
cided gain OF ten days in ripening of the
fruit, with largely increased size of berries,
but with the drawback OF a loss by crack
ing open and the production of berries too
softfor market Both of these were due to
the wet weather, and would be lessened in
q dryer season. In the matter of quality
there was no loss of sugar, but, on the
contrary, an increased sweetness in the
fruit from the girdled vines compared
with those not girdled. The gain in earl-
ness would make the crop more valuable,
and the increased size of the fruit would
make it very attractive, and more than
make UP for the softness of the berry.
There is also to be considered the injury
which may be done to the vine in repeat
ing this operation yearly.

Thinks Florida will Beat California.


Messrs. May & Hubbard, of this place
have reserved the following letter from
Mr.. j. Ashton Greene, whose grove at
this place are in their charge. Mr.. Greene
says:
The 208 boxes of oranges you shipped
Hills Bros averaged $3. OF per box, which
l think was very good and which leads
me to think that all three of my groves
will soon be paying q net income
note an article in Bradstreet's OF last
Saturday on profits in California fruit
raising in which they report that an or
ange grove in Riverside of seven acres,
twenty years old, made a net profit last
year of 81, 900 per acre and this year
81 200 per acre. Another grower says
that his budded trees yielded, at three
years old $3.50 per tree, the four year
$3 per tree, or $500 to the acre; eight
year old buds $40 per tree and nine
year old buds $15 per tree Another
man reported 40 acres planted eight
years ago yielding this year net income
of $12. 300. All these are based on the
sales at $1 per box.
Last year when | was at Riverside
looking at the land and groves there |
concluded that, acre for acre, the land at
DeLand was the most valuable for rails
ing oranges and | am more convinced
that is true after my visit to you this
winter.

The Florida Fruit Exchange.

The Florida Fruit Exchange.
The Florida Fruit Exchange held it's
fifth annual meeting in Jacksonville last
Wednesday, about five hun dred shares of
stock being represented.
In his annual address, President Fair
banks congratulated the Exchange on
the satisfactory manner in which it's
business had been conducted during the
past year, and the prospects for a con-
tinuance of the patronage and confidence
OF the orange growers of the State. He
reviewed at considerable length the move
ment in reference to matter of obtaining
an increase of the duty on oranges, and
while admitting that the orange growers
had failed to get all they asked, he
considered it a matter of congratulation
that they had obtained an increase in
the duty OF oranges of nearly a hundred
per cent.
The price obtained for fruit this year,
the treasurer said, was about fifteen per
cent greater than that obtained last
year.
General Manager Ives reported that
during the season the Exchange had
handled 228, $40 boxes of oranges. The
average gross price realized was 1927
per box; the average net price, 81. SO per
box. The fruit was distributed as fol-
lows:
New York, 65, O92 packages; Boston,
83,2G1 packages; Philadelphia, 2S,O69
packages; Baltimore, 1918 packages !;
New Orleans, 1,615 packages; Chicago,
24,790 packages; Cincinnati, 1851
packages; st. Louis, LOGS packages :;
Norfolk 1 ,4O5 packages; Charleston, SGT
packages; Savannah, 619 packages; Mo-
bile, 1, 1913 packages; Jacksonville, 1897
packages; various, 70.
The Exchange handled S2,574 boxes
more the last season than ever before.
The average price realized for oranges
in 1888-89 was $1.33 per box, this year
$1.52, an increase in favor OF this year of
10 cents
In 19SS-S9 the total number of boxes
shipped from the State was 1850, 900;
in $4,000, 2,15O,O0O, an increase over
the previous season of 100000 boxes,
notwithstanding which there was large
increase in the net price OF fruit.
The general manager closes his report,
as follows:
Thousands of growers are in need of
better packing facilities. The need of
systematic handling and packing is be-
coming apparent every year. am salts
fed that had the entire 228, 642 boxes
handled by the Exchange this season been
uniformly graded and packed the aver
age net results would not have been less
than $1.75 per box.

serve as board ofdirectors for theensu-
lying year.
