A Christmas Quarrel.

On Christmas day Zenas John
son and Chas. guile, who are both
stopping at DULLES place in Edo
RADIO Canyon, had quarrel about
some tritling matter that nearly re-
suited in a tragedy. After angry
words had been exchanged for some
minutes guile grabbed q shotgun
and aiming it at johnson pulled
the trigger. For some reason the
weapon failed to explode and John
son, taking in the situation, picked
up butcher knife and rushed in
on guile, cutting a cash three inch
es deep in his back below the
shoulder blade. Before he could
do any more damage the two men
were parted. DR.. Hazlett went up
the Canyon yesterday and dressed
DULLES wound, which he says is
not a dangerous one. No arrests.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.

Chow can the farmer best utilize the
small deposits of phosphate material
that are found on his own farm, or
in his immediate neighborhood? To
the small farmer that is the most vital
OF all the phosphate questions before
the State. In order to answer it expert
ments of the following kind should be
made:
Il. To test the effect OF composing
muck, barn-yard manure, cotton seed
meal, etc., with finely pulverized phos-
phate rock, and phosphate clay"
"There is reason to expect that some Of
the phosphate would be converted into
superphosphate and that it would be
otherwise rendered more available as
plant food.
60 To determine the relative value of
superphosphate, pulverized phosphate
rock, and composts such as are described
under /, the tests to be made with vari-
GUS crops and on all kinds of soil.
"That the superphosphate, pound for
pound, is far more valuable for immedi-
ate production than the insoluble or tri-
calcic phosphate has long been settled ;
but the former costs four times as much
as the latter. Would, or would not, the
same money laid out in the latter be in
the long run the better investment? But
more particularly in cases where the far
mer has phosphate on his own farm, can
he afford to pay out ready cash for the
superphosphatos of the large manufac-
turers?
'3. To..determine whether. or not, the
farmer can economically manufacture his
own superphOsphate.

no one would hesitate to answer this

question in the negative, but for the fact
of the phosphate deposits at the far
mer's door and on his own land. This
makes the question worth asking and at
tempting to solve"
The above is from Bulletin No. 10 of
the Florida Experimental Station. AS
will be seen it says that in order to an
swer certain questions certain expert
ments should be made, and goes on to
enumerate the experiments.
Now we have no particular objection
to this; we believe in experimenting, we
believe it is every farmers duty as cit
izen to experiment and give his co-labor-
ers the results of his experiments. At the
same time it strikes us that the expert
ments suggested in the Bulletin, if con-
Quoted by the farmers in every Sec
tion of the State, would be rather ex-
pensive to them, in case results did not
prove satisfactory. On the other hand
we have an experimental station, main
tanned by the money of these farmers,
where these experiments could be made
more satisfactorily and at less cost than
by individuals.
For fear that the matter has never sug-
gested itself to the director of the expert
mental station, we would recommend
that he make the experiments and re-
port the results, rather than suggesting
the experiments to be made by individ-
uals. We may be mistaken, but it is our
understanding that instead of saying
that the experimental station should
recommend experiments to the people,
the Hatch act, under which the stations
were established says that 1T should be
"the object and duty of said experiment
"tal station to conduct original re-
searches or experiments ON the
chemical composition of manures, nat
rural Or artificial, with experiments de-
'ssigned to test their comparative effects
con crops of different kinds and
''such other researches Or experiments

EDITORIAL CHAT.

THE low rate offered by the various
roads leading into the State and by the
Florida roads to actual settlers during
this month and October should have the
effect OF bringing many prospectors into
Florida.
The question as to the proper method
OF filing in the blank at the end of war
ranty deed is now being discussed in our
columns. We do not apprehend that the
question in dispute would make any ma
terial difference, but Mr.. Wright's con-
struction strikes us as being the proper
one, and as the one carrying out the in
tent of the Trainer.
Xxx
Mr.. HENDRY has a very sensible article
in another column, and what he says
must strike every careful and conserva-
tive reader with more or less force
There are all kinds and condition of land
in Florida, and a method of cultivation
and treatment proving beneficial to one
class or character of soil would be detri-
mental to another. In the words of the
great MikadO we must "make the punish
ment fit the crime or, in other words,
adapt the cultivation and treatment to
the requirements of the soil, condition,
quality and variety of the trees, etc. 1t
is useless waste of time to attempt to
give instruction and advice in a general
way; to make certain fixed rules applica-
BILE to all cases.

THE FRUIT PROSPECT.

AS the shipping season draws near
the prospects for a good price for
our oranges grow brighter, and as
the yield will certainly be very much
larger than was expected q few months
ago, we think our people have much to con-
gratnlate themselves on. By saying that
the crop will be larger than was estima-
ted some months ago, we do not wish to
be understood as agreeing with the Fruit
Exchanges estimate-2, 100000 boxes
but we believe that our people will derive
nearly as much profit from the crop of
this year as they did from that Of last
year.
The Fruit Exchange is quoted as adj
vising the sale of no fruit for less than
$1.75 per box, picked packed and deliv
cred to the depot. In our opinion this is
not enough. We would advise the grow
ers to hold for at least 80, and if this
cannot be obtained, ship the fruit
through the Exchange. We believe that
before the season is over oranges
will sell on the trees for $2, and the
buyer will be willing to do the picking
and packing.
The short apple crop in the North will
help increase the price of oranges. PeO-
pie must and will have fruit They will
take apples if they can get them cheap
enough, and they buy them chiefly Oh
account of their cheapness, andif they are
as high as oranges they will take the or
anges every time. The Louisiana orange
crop is q partial failure - there not
being over one-quarter of q crop. This
will, in measure, reduce competition
and help to elevate the price OF our fruit.
The Florida crop being short, there will
necessarily be a greater demand than
there is a supply, and perhaps for the
first time the Florida orange grower will
be in a position to dictate prices.
The State is full of buyers and more are
coming; it is probable that every orange
Or at least very large majority of the
crOp-can be sold on the trees. We hope
so at any rate, and advise the growers to
refuse to sell box for less than So.
