$1,000 year. We must provide q perma-
nent income that will come only through
an investment of the permanent fund.
In regard TO the site 1t was thought I'M
portant to have the location central. and
convenient to the clubs membership. We
looked at every place on the Circle, every
place between Washington street and the
Circle. and all other places that could be
considered. We investigated the library
site, and found it was incumbered by an
indebtedness of $50, 900; found, after further
investigation, that the school commission
ers had no right to sell that property.
Then. if we could have bought the library
property. it would have taken s25O.ooo to
put mp such building as would have been
at ailattractive in bringing business IN that
direction. AS to the property finally
decided upon, the southwest cor
ner of Pearl and Meridian streets,
il was thought it would be
as we'll as to our members. We now hold
an option on that property for $1,000 1t
is the intention to build q frst-class office
building, equipping 1T with all con-
veniences, and containing on. the top floor
quarters for the club, with all club privi-
leges attached. 1t Is intended to make the
structure fre-proof, with vaults. and hot
and cold water. 1t was estimated that
such building could be constructed-wlth
six stories-for SS0.OOo SO constructed that
sired. The income from the proposed build
ing was estimated TO be about $4,000. and
1t was thought that in twenty years the
Indebtedness of $4,000 on the building
could be paid off,"

Tarpon Springs, Florida.

The meeting of the Horticultural So
ciety in DeLand is long stride in the in
terest OF those engaged in horticulture in
Florida. The experience of the practical
members will add much to the horticult-
ural literature of our State, and it should
be published in pamphlet form and dis
tributed.
The bulletins published from the Agri-
cultural Department of the State and the
Experimental Station fall far short of
giving as much valuable information to
those engaged and intending to engage
in horticulture as they should.
The short-sight edness of the last Legis-
ature in not aiding the Society is to be
deplored, though all can beremedied in
few years by sending men to the Legisla-
ture who are not all .stockmen and pro
fessional men. Not to add more laws to
those we have which are equally obnox-
ious, but to make a general revision of
those now on the statute books, not to
elect men who have only one pet scheme,
but men of liberal views.

To go further, our lands ii. e., the pine
lands) are either good or poor, not as to
the plant food they may or may not con-
tain, but as to want or presence of some
poisonous salts or acids. Our sandy soil
is from quartz rock, and, as Eli Mulch in
speaking of it we'll remarks, "needs alP'
the substances of plant food that trees
take up from the soil, and the grower
must in all his operations use brains
enough to find out for himself what is
needed, both for the growth of the tree
and for perfect fruit.
This way of letting some cheap fertilizer
man do the thinking for us, as many do,
and they often meet us with assertions
that ga bearing tree does not need am
monia," and often find growers follow
ing out such absurd ideas, which if fol-
lowed up, not only bears no fruit, but the
tree starves to death, and it is cursed
with that old ''foot rot"
In my business of trying to gather in
formation [ am with all kinds of growers,

this poisonous parasite that the COW peas
can no longer grow upon it, and SO far
as | can see it is untitled for about every
other tree or crop; and very likely his
trees are trimmed up, SO he can get under
it to plow around it," and it is "thinned
out to let in the sun and air." so the
"birds can't build nests in it as harbor
for insects" and declare by the time he
has got his tree to suit him there is not
much left of it, at least it is only q tree
struggling along for an existence. 1t can
not bear fruit, for the limbs have been
taken away that would produce it, and
the grower is saved the trouble OF gather

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
It Is the Man, not the Orange Tree,
That Fails.
BY JAMES MOTT, ORLANDO, FLA.


The late session of the Florida Horti-
cultural Society was q very interesting
one, and valuable papers were read, fol-
lowed often by discussions full of import.
There were many subjects that the linn
tied time given did not allow Of that full
ness of debate their Importance should
demand, and [ have thought on my part
to go a little further with it through the
columns of your very valuable paper. In
some instances statements carried weight
that to the new beginners were quite dis
couraging. 1t is Of those | wish to write,
for / am glad to know that Florida
is not guilty OF all the meanness we often
hear applied to her.
[ am glad to know that as far as Flori-
da and the orange tree is concerned, or
ange culture is not a failure. The man
who plants is where the failure comes in.
The wOuld-be grower who selects land not
suited to the tree can but fail in his at
tempts, as does the planter who adopts
a system of culture that is all the time at
war with natures laws and the instinct
of plant life, can outcome out of the fight
as is often the case-both himself and his
trees extremely exhausted. This ever
lasting plOwing, narrowing, cultivating,
and hOeing, never giving the tree or soil
any rest; never allowing blade OF grass
to take in some of the elements the free
air would so lavishly spend upon it, that
when it dies it may not only give back to
the soil those elements which have been
borrowed from it, but those, which have
been drank in from the atmd sphere as
we'll, and thus the soil has been made bet
ter. We have added humus that our soils
are so lacking in. and without which to
apply our chemical fertilizers is like run
ming it through a sieve. That kind OF
worse than wasteless culture never made
any orange grower money.
Again, the grower who has got it into
his head that an orange tree must be
pruned, and with a knife and saw, makes
a wanton attack on this delicate plant,
that in all it's nature in itself is SO
perfect that in it's intricate physical Or
ganization is so little understood, even
by our noted scientists. 1t is said that
we know even less about it than we do of
the physical organization OF man.
Every little leafet has it's little root
that feeds it, and the plant suffers in pro-
portion to the injury we have done either,
and let me repeat, the would-be grower
who is expecting to make orange growing
profitable, and is so often interfering with
natures laws, and is ever and all the
time trimming his trees (very often be-
