The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-08-23

SiVe one, too, despite his modest re-
marks, writes as follows from Lake
County.
II have been interested very much in
Mr. Hamlin's letter and your remarks
concerning com binatiOn of growers for
the purpose of purchasing fertilizers
cheaply in large quantities, and also for
the purpose of marketing fruit systemat-
ically. Now I am one of those small
growers who cannot afford to employ an
agent to travel through the country and
sell my fruit, nor can | get wholesale
rates on fertilizers, but | confess that the
idea is a good one, and | would like if
possible to profit by it. Can you advise
me how to proceed?'
As we have before said the matter Of
clubbing together for hepurpose of pur
chasing fertilizers in large quantities
and securing wholesale prices less the
agents commission or the middleman' s
profit is the simplest thing in the world.
Say, for instance, that you use five tons
Of fertilizer per year (and you use twice
that amounD and you have nine neigh
bors using a like quantity. If yourself
and nine neighbors can decide upon a
brand of fertilizer, everything else is easy.
You would get together and select one of
your number as a purchasing agent.
This agent armed with authority and
the necessary cash, would proceed to
interview the manufa cturers and we
have no hesitancy in saying thathe could
get price that would save to the grower
from two to five dollars per ton.
We have figured this on very small
combine. If all the growers in county
or section would cooperate and purchase
several thousand tons the saving would
be proportionally larger. There is no
reason why this cannot be done in every
orange growing section Of Florida. There
need be no red tape and not necessarily
even an organization.
In the matter Of marketing by the
method adopted by Mr. Stetson there
would necessarily be more complications.
The growers should band themselves to-
gether to sell fruit only through their
agent unless they we're offered a mini
mum price for it on the trees. This agent
would report his sales to a manager
selected by the growers who would
direct all shipments. OF course
the individual packing house would
be done away with and the oran-
ges would be hauled to a central packing
house and then put up under the direc
ton Of the manager and shipped accord
ing to his instructions.
AS to the best methods of returns, it
might be decided that each grower
should receive the net sale of his fruit
less stated sum per box for the eXpens-
es of conducting the business of the as
ISOLATION. And again it might be found
more satisfactory topool the whole thing
and when the season was over or at
stated intervals, to declare dividends,
for instance if A had shipped 1000 boxes
and B 500 and after all expenses Of
packing, shipping, salary Of agent, man
ager, etc, had been paid there remained
in the treasury 81 800, this amount would
be appOrtioned between A and B, 81 900
to A and $500 to B, without regard to the

THE Orlando Reporter says: With a
good crop OF oranges on the groves and favor
able condition of other staple products Orange
County will come out on top yet. The apple crop
OF the North is reported short and there is every
reasonable indication that Floridas staple fruit
will command good prices everywhere. This is
the silver lining to the cloud that now hangs
about US.

SOME of the California orange growers
associations have adopted resolutions calling for
a change in the size of orange boxes. The box
used by the California growers is about one inch
smaller each way than the box used by Florida
growers. The CaIifornians thought they were at

Execution of a Man in Early Days
Recalled.

On Saturday the Record Union
published tt o facts relative to the
execution Of George Nelson Symond-
in Sacramento in 1868, concerning
which inquiry had been made If the
Attorney-General. The American
Legion of Honrr Journal nov comes
to hand with the following:
in 1851 Il young man named
George Symonds left rempleton,
Mass, for California. Previous to
his departure he borrowed money
from Il friend, and gave as "A security
a policy of insurance on his life. At
ter two wears residence in California
he was arrested, speedily tried, con-
victed and publicly hanged for brut-
ally mur ierIng a pack peddlor. The
insurance policy which he gave fol
security had a clause in it declaring
that if the n whose life the policy
Was drawn should come to his death
by public execution according to the
forms OF the law, the policy should
be nu,l and void.
"Recently the holder OF the policy,
which, by the way, had never been
destroyed, received the news that
Symonds died an innocent man, and
that his friends in Templeton had re-
ceived an authenticated report OF q
death bed confession Of a man who
swore that he. and not Symonds,
murdered the peddler. The courts
will now be asked to compel the in
surance agent to pay the principal
of the policy, with interest from the
time it had knowledge Of Symonds'
, death. The cas- is without prece-

IL we had not failed to obtain the
titles OF the selections we would have

to the abilities of some Of the actors.
After the ENTERTAINMENT, dancing was
commenced, there being just enough
dancers to fill the hall Without crowd

WonIack with their vioIins and Miss
Maud Crosson with the organ fur
nlshed excellent music which, for
dancing, could not be- beaten.
Shortly after midnight the ladies
brought out their baskets laden with
good things and passed around one IF
the best suppers We have ever seen
furnished for ii dance.
After the members Of the order La :
satisfied themselves that all present
had eaten as much Of the good Things

and kept up until the rays Of murn-

WHAT DID IT.

Gov. Flower says II was dull times"
1t must be attributed to the business
depression and the thousands OF men

1t was entirely due to the naming Of
Maynard at the Saratoga Convention"
says Mayor Gilroy.
McKane's acts greatly contributed
to our defeat" says Mayor Body.
1t was the disastrous consequence
following the Democratic victory a year
ago." say Chairman Hackett. OF the
Republican State Executive Commit
tee.
Hard times did IT," says Richard
Croker.
1T was because other districts did not
give Maynard more than ten thousand
majority. as the Second Assembly Dis
trtct did" says Police Justice Diver.
I'VE did IT," say lake Patterson and
Sabine Smith, OF the Republican County
Committee.
1t is singular that none OF these
shrewd politicians recognizes the fact
that the result OF the election was due
to the uprising OF the People against the
~autocratic rule and dlctation OF the
Bosses: that 1t was a notice given by
the free and independent voters OF the
State OF New York. as we'll as OF other
States, that they would no longer allow
either a ring OF political leaders or a
single autocratic boss to dictate to them
for whom they hall cast their votes
whether II be for Governor, for Mayor
or for Judge OF the Court OF Appeals.
The true lesson OF the ballots is the
