DeLand Record Hon. Washington
Conner, the wealthy New Yorker who has
invested 30 largely around New Smyrna in
lands, has written T. N. Bryan that Mr..

Daytona Journal: We have no record OF
fall of mama upon the peninsula, but s.
W. Bartlett will certify that a chicken
dropped from skTward a few days since
Mr.. Bartlett was busily working in his lot
when. to his fnexpTessihle astonishment, a
little, fluffy, black ball dropped in front Of
him, which, after a few premonitory kicks,
got upon Its feet and proved to be small
chicken, not more than a few days old.
Mrs. Bartlett tried hard to preserve the life
OF this little messenger from skydom, or
some neighbours chicken yard, but life
proved too great burden after such q
rough introduction, and 1t died day or
two after its arrival. 1t was probably
dropped by hawk, but its advent was a
strange one at Mr.. Bartlett's.
DeLand Record: John Nuckols, who has
a fine bearing grove southwest Of the city is
not so Respondent as he appeared several
weeks past. Before the rains set In he didn't
think that he would have third of a crop.
But since the first rain about three weeks
ago the young oranges are showing up bet-
ter, besides all his trees have a new bloom
on, enough OF themselves to pan out a fair
crop. The crop from this new bloom will
not ripen before February or March, which
will insure John much better price than
the returns for the December and January
shipments. at which time the bulk Of the
Florida crop goes In to market, ard when
the gluts and low prices prevail John will
try to get in an irrigating plant by another
spring. We must all get down to this irri-
CATION business. You arc then assured a
crop every year.
The STAKE convention Of the fruit grow
ers' unions met at Orlando Thursday and
was called to order by c. Delano. Mahlon
Gore was elected chairman aud Maj. T. M
Murphy secretary. The chairman stated
in few words that the object of the meet-
ing was TO promote the interests of the
orange and fruit growers. Ex-senator De-
lano then gave a short history Of the growth
and progress Of the union, aud stated more
at length that the object of the union was to
thoroughly organize those interested and
to obtain control Of a sufficient portion of
the crop to dictate rates to the Transporter
ton companies, and to force the buyers to
purchase from the growers direct, either on
the trees or +. o. b. He stated that the
Volusia county union controlled 1856, 900
boxes of fruit. The whole union
already controlled 700 900 boxes He
explained that they had no intention OF
going into business as an auction or COM
mission house, but were endeavoring to
bring the buyers to the growers door. II,
however, nothing else could be done, a SYM
dictate OF growers might be formed to handle
the fruit as a last resort; but the business
must be taken out of the hands of the COM
mission men, who buy Of the growers, glut
the market, cut prices which they and the
growers have made, send out drummers aud
sell at good prices. He said that the alli-
apce OF Volusia county had obtained S11
reduction in she price of bone meal. This
union might do the same with reference to
fertilizers and freights. e. q. Lyall of
Pasco county, delegate. told how his union
carefully selected the names of commission
men from BrddStreets. The scheme fell
through because of other shippers Cutting
the markets with green fruit. He recon-
mended making orange wine. Fifty oranges
and two or three pounds of sugar make a
gallon of wine worth 81. A Philadelphia

the market. If large quantities were
supplied, at 80 per gallon. Maj.
+. M. Murphy proposed advertising
for bids for carrying oranges. which w:s
discussed generally and considered q good
idea. No conclusion was reached. Mr..
Delano said that two-thirds Of the fruit
went to New York and was there distri-
buted. IL was all controlled by single
individual. Special rates could be secured
and the fruit sent there at 20 cents per box
by ships built especially for the orange
trade. He said that fruit could then be
sent to Chicago over the New York Central
quicker and cheaper than when now sent
direct. 1t takes seven days for q freight
car to go from Florida to Chicago; six days
from California to New York. IL the
afternoon the constitution was read by the
secretary. Several resolutions were dis
oussed among them one binding the orange
growers to allow the fruit to rot rather than
ship 1t TO commission men or sell it here for
less than 81 per box on the trees. No action
was taken on any Of them. The Orange
county union then organized and was in
