Juvenile Deprayity.

The shocking case of shooting by boy
in this city, resulting in the death of his
victim, recalls some similar cases OF
Juvenile homicide which were equally
startling in their character and bore
direct evidence of murderous intent.
The boy, ANTON WooDE, who shot and
killed young JOSEPH SMITH in Colorado,
in order to get his watch and chain
which took the shooters fancy, is fresh
in the public mind. WooDE had two
trials and was convicted of murder in the
second degree. He made 10 secret OF his
crime or its purpose, and was considered
a psychological mystery.
A few days ago boy twelve years old,
in New Jersey shot and killed little fell
low scarcely three years old. His name
was WooD, he was New York street
arab and was taken by LOUIS WAGNER
to his New Jersey farm to do chores. In
week he was discharged for laziness.
He was followed up stairs when he went
to get his clothes by the employers little
son, and claimed that little BERTHE had
shot himself. Two guns had been dis
charged into the child's body. WOOD
seemed to have no sense of the enormity
of his crime.
JAMES MOORE, IS years old, in New
York the saple day WOOD shot BERTHE
WAGNER, fired a small pistol full at the
breast of five years old boy named
HEFELFINGER. He was offended at the
child, put the pistol to his breast, tol6
him to prepare to meet his GOD and shot
him. 1t was not dangerous weapon
and only inflicted a severe but not fata
wound in the left breast. He claimed he
did not know it was loaded.
We do not wish to pass any judgment
on the intent of the boy who is nov
charged with murder to wilfully commi
that crime. That will be for Jury tC
determine when all the evidence is pre-
sented. But the precocity of children
particularly in the direction of reckless
ness and defiance of law and restraint, j!
remarkable and lamentable.
The common use of fire arms is to b.
deprecated. Too many men carry re-
volvers. There is too much carelessnes
in leaving guns within reach OF young
sters. There is a fascination for then
among many of the boys. Such dan
gerous weapons ought not to be entrusted
to them. There is also too little parenta
restraint and too much OF the liberty tina
recognizes no law among our young
people.
The practice CT carrying pistol ought
to be discouraged. 1t is very rarely tina
any one but an officer needs TO follow it
And the necessity for policemen to g
armed except with a club, is growing
rapidly less even in the wild west.
The measure of responsibility that at
taches to such young violators OF the Law
as the culprits we have named, is
serious question for the administrators O
the law to decide and is not without in
4 terest to the students of mental and mora
philosophy.

IT is a mistake to call the various de-
vices for abating the smoke nuisance by
the name of smoke consumers. Smoke
cannot be consumed, but can be greatly
lessened through condensing the SCOT.
Smoke thus freed is much lighter and will
readily rise in the air and be carried
away; but laden with SCOT and ashes it
becomes heavier than air, and naturally
settles toward the ground, where high
buildings prevent the wind sweeping it
away. This soot-laden smoke is the
cause of nearly all OF the throat and lung
diseases.

ANOTHER DENIAL.

Last week we referred to the Sanford
calamity liar and the FruitTrade journal.
Hon. |. A. Stewart. Judge of the criminal
court of record, writes as follows to the
Journal:
To our great surprise we see in the
Fruit Trade J Journal Of January 81, 1898,
a letter dated Sanford Fla, January 16,
1898, signed "Vide," which is false from
end to end, in which this language is
used: ''From reports at hand it appears
that groves in exposed places and low
lands, viz, DeLand, GlenwoOd and other
places are utterly ruined" |

wood, DeLand and vicinity, and live in

Judge OF an orange tree and the dam
age done it by frost as any one, owning
not less than half dozen groves myself,
and some of them have not a leaf
scOrched on the trees. The fruit is jured
from ten to twenty-five per cent. Some
groves are not hurt at all. 1t is true the
foliage on the orange trees in many
places on the top branches has curled, in
some groves has dropped, and in some
groves has not curled at all. L vCuch

work to make grove when there are no
other resources, and. as the Times says,
they have turned their attention to other
crops, and are making the land yield
them the necessities of life.
In reference to thefertilzer for the land,
the farmer should, of course, save every
particle OF manure produced on his place.
This in the course OF year is by no
means inconsiderable. but if the farm
cannot and does not yield sufficient
MANURE for the crop, it is poor economy
to attempt to cultivate the soil that IS
not fertile enough to groMAthe crop prof
itably. Intensive cultivation in Florida,
as elsewhere, is the onlyakind that pays.
If your soil is not "rich2'I enough to pro-
duce crops profitably, and the farm does
not supply manure to make good the
deficiency, do not let a false idea of econ
omy prevent you from purchasing fer

PLANTING HOME CROPS.

The following acknowledgement in the
Sumter County Times, and while it refers
to that county particularly it is appli-
cable to most of the counties of Florida
those in the orange belt as we'll as those
in the farming region. The Times says:
"The season for planting, in Sumter, is
near at hand, and we would kindly sug-
gest to many of our farmers that it would
be much better for them if they would
plant and produce more of their neces-
Sary articles.
owe know many pretended farmers
who buy over half the corn they use
the year round; all the hay they use, all
their rice and nearly all the bacon they
use, and they never have ten bushels of
potatoes during the year. Now, there is
no excuse in the world for this. AS a rule
any farmer can raise upon fifteen acres
of moderate good land all his rice, sweet
potatoes, cassava, pumpkins, oats, and
acre of good soil he can raise more syrup
than he can use, and upon one acre of
we'll fortified land (any farmer can and
should make his own fertilizer, for it is
better than almost, any he can buy), he
can produce all his cabbage, turnips, col
lards, onions, radishes, beets and every
other kind OF vegetable that his family
will care for. He can raise his own hogs,
and fatten enough to do q whole year;
he can raise his own milk and butter, and
two or three beeves to butcher during
the year; he can raise plenty of chickens
and eggs for home cOnsumE ton, and
many dollars worth for the market The
farmers can do all this and work their
orange groves too.
"Many say that they are not farming
but just making their groves Well, il
the grove makers will keep account and
buy their supplies for three years, and
then produce them for three years, they
will find that during the gears they pro-
duced their necessaries, they saved many
dollars over the years in which they
bought everything.

over Sumter-that are doing just what
we suggest here, and some of them are
not on very good places, either.
"They are all we'll to do, have good
houses, stock, and many of them put
money in bank. So what we tell you, you
can do, has been, and is being demon
strated all over the county. We warn
you that until you do get to raising
more at home, you can't expect to sue

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

We think there is no industry so prom
Using for Florida as that of sugar raising.
There are thousands Of acres OF land in
the State that can be used with profit In
the cultivation of any other crop. This
is one article, at least, concerning which
the cry of overproduction will never be
raised.
The United States consumes annually
1887, 625 long tons OF sugar. OF this
vast quantity less than 200, 900 tons are
produced in this country, but on this pro-
duction the government paid in bounties
last year over eight and half million
dollars.
We think that the growing of sugar
beets has never been attempted in Flor
ida and we marvel that such is the case.
Other sections of the Union, in which the
conditions are apparently no more favor
able than in Florida, are making the beet
sugarindustry remarkably remunerative.
Nearly one half (about two-ffths) of
the sugar production in the world is
made from beets, and the production of
the material is increasing each year.
AS before said, we see no reason why
the sugar beet industry cannot be made
profitable in Florida, in fact we think
there is no room for doubt so long as the
ugar-bounty law, which gives to the
producer nearly two cents pound for
his material aside from what it will
bring in the market, remains in oper-
ton. 1t may be argued that the in
coming administration will repeal the
bounty law. This it may possibly do,
but it is matter OF very great doubt,
as under the existing law the consumers
Of the United States are saved in the
neighbOrhOod of forty or forty five mil
lion dollars annually on their sugar bills.
The government paid in sugar bOun-
ties last year $S.68O,O00. Now, should
this bounty be discontinued, and the for
mer duty imposed on foreign sugar, the
people of the United States would have
to pay at least two cents per pound more
forit than at present, or, in other words,
instead OF paying the home producer
$4,000, 900 direct in bOunties, they will
pay the government 500, 100000 in
tariff duties. Even were the duty reduced
to one-half a cent per pound, the tariff
collected from the imported sugar would
amount to oversee, 100000. We hardly
think the people are willing to change
the system in view of the great saving to
them.
The sugar beet is a native of Turkey
a warm, sunny climate, very similar to
FlOrida's Isl In Europe the average yield OF
the beets per acre is from twelve to if
teen tons. In Southern California, owing
either to more congenial soil and eli
mate or better cultivation, the yield last
year was increased to twenty two tons
per acre. In Germany the saccharine
matter of the beet averages about twelve
per cent, while in Southern California
the average is fifteen and quarter per
cent. Possibly in Florida the same
increase in yield and percentage of sur
case could be obtained.
The sugar beet does not exhaust land
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-02-08

like many other crops. 1t is product of
the sun, of heat and light, and when the
tops and refused roots are allowed to
remain on the land it's producing capac-
ity is greatly augmented. In Germany,
for instance, the average yield of wheat
was about fifteen bushels per acre, but
since the sugar beet has been grown on
the land, the yield has increased to over
twenty-five bushels per acre.
A Virginia beet grower furnishes to the
Progressive South the following calcuIa-
tons of the cost of cultivation per acre,
and the revenue therefrom:

The California growers, who have
increased the yield nearly one hundred
per cent. under favorable climatic condi-
tions, make net profit of from sixty to
eighty dollars per acre, and we incline to
the opinion that, as our climate is SINH
lar to that of Southern California, we
