The members of the company fled in their

Andrew Armstrong. a stage hand who

was told not to jump and he would be saved,
He then disappeared from the window and

More Ammonia Needed in Fertilizers

In your paper Of the 18th inst, you
call special attention to the report of DR.
Hilgard, who says that for every 10000
pounds Of oranges produced on an acre
of land there are extracted from the soil
40.14 pounds Of potash, $500 pounds Of
acid. Now counting g. or G5 pounds
net to the box of fruit and we will have
about 80 boxes to the acre, using up the
above amounts Of fertilizers, and to pro-
duce this amount of fruit there will be
needed about 200 pounds of IS to - per
cent. potash, $50 pounds of cotton seed
meal or $50 pounds nitrate Of soda and 70
pounds Of Is per cent. acid phosphate.
In | 200 pounds of good brand Of orange
tree fertilizer there are 80 pounds of am
monia, 100 pounds Of phosphoric acid
and from 90 to 100 pounds Of potash. 1t
seems to me that the ammonia is too
low in all the fertilizers.
have this year seen 1900 pounds of
good fertilizer put on one acre but it has
done nothing extra. The stress in the
papers is for the abundant use Of potash,

with the orange, | think the stress ought
to be put on the ammonia. | have seen

to place the mulch all over the ground
and under the plants. | never had a
finer crop OF Strawberries in Florida than
last winter and spring; fine large fruit
and much sWeeter and better favored
than in any previous year. No matter
how heavy the rain the berries we're al
ways clean and fine. | lay my success to
the potash and the mulching. My fruit
was as firm and solid as in any previous
year when they were not mulched, in
fact think much frmer.

it with very large collection of other
varieties on high pine land, and having
seen it grown in a great many places
under different conditions in this State
and California, [ unhesitatingly pro-
nounce it the very best all around, bust
ness orange l have yet found in my ex-
tensive experience Of nearly eighteen
years in the business.
The habit of the tree is of strong, Wig

hardy. Fruit medium size-176 to 200

and usually colors from notified to deep

ton. Is a fine market fruit, command
ing the highest price, often S. to 81 per

[ introduced it into California several
years since through Mr.. G. S. Burgess. of
the firm of Frost & Burgess. It has be-
come very popular there, supersediDg the
famous Washington Navel. Some are
planting entire groves of the Ruby there,
as we'll as here.
1t took the highest prize as best orange
at the California State Citrus Fair at
Cotton last March, grown on sour stock,
sold by me to Mr.. George Frost five years
ago.

Mediterranean Oranges.

The orange growers of the Mediterra-
mean region are beginning to recognize
the inevitable, that they must give up
the American market, and even submit
O American rivalry in European mark
cts SignOr TriolO OF Spain, recently
said to representative OF the Chicago
Herald:
[ find that the orange growing indus
try Of Spain is being abandoned, as the
fruit cannot be raised in competi' ion
with Sicily. in my sixty days sojourn
in Sicily [ was engaged in securing in
formation regarding the yield, quality,
etc. l found that the orange crop is
about the same as last year, while the
lemon crop is about 25 per cent. short.
Most of the oranges will go to Russian
and Austrian cities, Const4ntinople and
to England. Very few oranges will be
shipped to America, and none Of them
can be shipped west of the Alleghanies
with profit.
America has made such strides in or,
ange culture that it has not only wrested
the American market from the Mediter-
ranean grower, but the Florida orange is
actually fighting him for place in the
England markets. The quality of the
Sicilian oranges is not equal to Florida
or choice California fruit. I would put
up alongside of the California seedlings.
The duty OF 81 andes cents per box ard
freight of 80 cents more makes the cost
laid down in New York about the same
as if carried overland from California.
The cheaper and better Florida fruit
thus has a big advantage.

when men, by using certain kinds of
chemicals in spraying the trees can have
the Harris Tardiff ripen in October, and
no more acid in them than a Sweet Sc
vile and still remain on the trees till
June, what can We not do with fertil-
izers? Riverside alone has shipped this
year 2,470 carloads of oranges, up to date,
and has been in the business only about
twenty years, and this comprises but a
small )rion of the tertOrry engaged in
the orange industry, yet we are trying
to make ourselves believe that Califor-
MIA is not Sin it," In view of all the
facts, think the proper course for us to
pursue is, to grow only the very best,
and send 10 market only the very choiC-
est very carefully handled, and Hastily
ga ked, so that every box shall be an ad
vertsement, and one that every Florid
len shall be proud Of.
You, and I, know, and thousand of
others know, that large amount Of or
anges every year are sent out Of the
State, that should never be allowed to
leave the groves, and the trees they are
grown on should be burned root and
branch. 1t we have got anything fine
let us "trot it OUT" and let the world
know we have got it. Ideplore very much
that our legislature did not think it pro-
per to appropriate sum Of money suffi-
GENTLY large, that we might have made
a creditable showing at the Colum bian
Exposition. thing noary all of the
civilized nations on the earth thought it
worth while, to be represented by the
best they had. Some of the uncivilized
ones are there too. Why Oh Why,
should not Florida be there arrayed in
her best dress?
Florida, has some advantages over
California. One prominent one is near
re3s 10 market, which is something hard
to overcome. In conclusion let me urge
that we stop nothing short of the list.
If there are all around, better. general
purpose, oranges than the Ruby, Jafs,
Maiorca, and Navel, let us find them.
California did not stop with her River
side Navel and Eureka Lemon. She
found bette. At the State Citrus Fair
at Cotton the highest premiums were
awarded to the Villa Franka lemon,

change in his grove and a large crop of
fruit
Last May a friend soWcd $50 pounds of
nitrate soda on an acre in his grove to
make the grass grow for hay. He got a
good crop of hay and made all of the
oranges most too large for market. To-
day that spot in his grove looks better

and bear heavy crops of oranges every
year.

THERE is great agricultural de-
preston in England, and the farmers
there are growing very restless.
Large meetings are being held, at
which the question of the organiza-
tion of agricultursts is being dis
cussed. Some of the nobility par.
ticipate in the meetings and strong
ly urge organization for the purpose
of protection of agricultural in
terests. The prospect is that
English farmers will form compact
union of the whole mass. And this
reminds us to say that American
farmers might have formed an agri-
cultural protective association had it
not been that they gave more heed
to the railroad attorneys and ring
politicians than to their own in
terests. However, it is never too
late to mend, and we believe, that,
in the near future, all farmers
organizations will be brought
together, and that the most intelli-
gent farmers will unite upon some
common ground upon which all can
stand. Put on your thinking-caps,
and remember that all the team must
pull if the stuck wagon is to be
drawn out of the mud-hole.
