IMMIGRATION NEEDED.

Florida joys along on the road to pros
perity. She is perhaps doing as we'll as
any of her sister States, but she is not
doing near as we'll as she might. With
our vast and diversified resources, our
thousands of acres of tillable soil, our
monopoly of certain products, our free
dom from competition in certain crops
on account of seasons, we should make
giant strides.
But we cannot do this without immi
grafton. Our lands must be occupied
and cultivated, and in order to
have this done we must have more
people-more settlers.
We think this is matter for legisla
tive action. True weonce had a bureau
of this kind, but as it's work was not eff
fectlve Git had hardly been in operation
long enough to be effectively the last
legislature refused or failed to make an
appropriation.
1t should be tried again and if put in
charge of the proper men it would work
great benefit to the State.

There was cry few weeks ago to
the effect that our markets would be
flooded this month with foreign fruit.
The statement was made that about

uary. Now this was not such an enor-
NOUS quantity after all, when it is re-
membered that Florida alone some weeks
ships more than $1,000 boxes into a
single city.
It may be possible that this was a
scheme of those horrid bears to depress
the market, and cause our orange
growers to part with their fruit at a low
price. We do not say that this was the
case, but the bears are very active ami

A QUESTION OF NITRATES.

A. B. Chapman OF Los Angeles county
is one of the most successful and expe-
rienced orange growers in California and
has devoted much time and study to
various experiments connected with sue
cessful orange culture. He speaks as
follows in the Los Angeles Herald con-
corning the subject of nitrates in the or
chard:
Imagine navel orange orchard thor
Oughly fertilized with horse manure and
heavily in bloom. Manifestly the tree is
putting forth it's greatest efforts, both
growing and blooming. We are taught
that the orange, like the wheat plant, is
dependent upon a supply of nitrate of the
soil for it's exisEenee, and that, unlike the
leguminose, cannot assimilate the free
nitrogen of the air. Weare again taught
that nitrates are the result of the growth
of certain bacteria in the soil. That at
temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit
this growth is entirely arrested; at SO
degrees nitrates are found in appreciable
quantities, but that ten times as much
nitrate is formed at SO degrees as at II
degrees. Our springs are cold and the
nitrates do not form in the soil suffi-
GENTLY rapidly for the needs OF the tree;
and tree that has not the proper a.
mount OF nitrogen at it's CONTROLS forced
to turn yellow and drop it's fruit. The
remedy consists in applying nitrate ready
formed, as nitrate of soda, and the
proper dose is from one-quarter to one
half pound for each shower or irriga-
ton. The three essentials for the growth
of nitrate are: Shade, moisture and
heat.

January, with a statement of the num-
Der of boxes on each steamer.
By this report, which we presume is
trustworthy and reliable, We find that
II 1000 boxes of foreign oranges have ar
rived in New York this month and there
are only about5000to follow Boston yet
to receive 5000 and New Orleans 49,
600, making only $4,000 boxes to ar
rive during the balance of the month.
This certainly should not brighten the
orange growers, especially when they
bear in mind that the larger portion of
the Florida crop has been marketed.
We still think oranges are worth 81 so
per box on the tree.

A COUNTY OPTION FENCE LAW,

The fence or no fence question is at
tracing no little attention at present,
and no better time could be selected for
the discussion OF this important matter
for the reason that the Florida legisla-
ture will assemble in few months, and
the legislators, it is presumed, as true re-
representatives. of the people, will carry
out their wishes and enact whatever law
or laws are desired, and it is OF course
necessary to inform these law makers as
to the wishes OF their constituents before
the assembling of the legislature. For
thatreason weinvite the fullest discussion
in our columns.
In reference to a no fence law Florida
is rather peculiarly situated. Some Sec
tons and counties OF the State are given
up almost entirely to stock raising and
the cattle industry, while in other Sec
lions and counties the cattle industry
cuts very insignificant figure.
In those counties devoted to cattle
raising. and where there is practically
nothing else raised, no fence law would
be useless, and perhaps an injustice to
the cattlemen. But on the other hand,
in counties where the stock interest is
small and the farming and fruit growing
interest large, it is gross injustice to
the farmer and fruit grower to compel
him to spend thousands of dollars an
nually in constructing fences to keep
few COWS and hogs from destroying his
crops and groves. In many of the coun-
ties of the State the money annually
expended on fences would pay for all the
cattle on the public range.
No law can be enacted that will bear
equally on all; to some it may be a hard
ship, to others blessing, but the desid-
eratum OF our statutes should be tie
greatest good to the greatest number.
1t is matter for the serious considera-
ton of our law makers, and something
should be done at once to remove the
fence burden from the shoulders of the
farmers and fruit growers.
We are of the opinion that county
option law after the same plan as our To-
cal option liquor law, would be satisfacto-
ry to all. Under this law it could be pro-
vided that an election should be called
when requested by a majority of the
voters OF any county, and if at this elec-
ton the voters decided in favor of no
fence law, then such law would become
operative No one, we think could have
serious objections to this; it is the will
OF the maiority-the great fundamental
foundation of our government. The
majority should govern, and we do not
hesitate to say that if such a law was
passed every fruit growing and farming
county in the State would vote "yes'' by
an overwhelming majority.
