JACKSON HEARD FROM.

Mr. Arthur G. jackson, who is apt to
go down to history as the great Worlds
Fair Agitator, has at last had his say.
We have waited patiently for weeks for
the sound Of Mr.. Jackson's gentle voice.
We knew that it would be heard, for if the
gentleman is not verbose he is nothing.
The people Of Florida have read the num-
erous charges made against Mr.. Jack
sons management Of Florida's alleged
interests at the Worlds Fair. Some of
these charges were trivial, others were
grave, all Of them neceSsitated an answer.
This answer Mr.. Jackson promised to
make and the AGRICULTURIsT, before con-
demning him or passing judgment upon
the cause at issue, waited until it had
heard both sides of the case. We knew
from the first that Mr. Jackson was pur-
suing a wrong course, that the efforts OF
his labor were likely to be like dead sea
fruit, ending in naught but disappoint-
ment and loss. 1t was evident from the
outset, we regret very much to say, that
the people of Florida did not want an cx-
hibit at the Worlds Fair. The Legisla-
ture, which assembled at Tallahassee
in April, although it represented very
little Of the true sentiment of the people
of Florida, certainly represented them in
the matter of the Worlds Fair, for it
positively declined to make an appropri-
alton for an exhibit. Mr.. Jackson should
have dropped the matter there, but he
didn't do it, The money that the State
had refused to appropriate he borrowed
from private parties and erected as the
alleged Florida building duplicate Of
old Fort Marion. This building he at
tempted to fill with exhibits from the
various counties in the State, calling
upon the County Commissioners to make
appropriations for county displays. In

ORANGE TREES IN TIMBER.

Oh ANGIE TREES IN TIMBER.
In another column Of this issue will be
found a communication from our COM
mon sense correspondent Mr.. Porter, Of
Monteverde AS usual with Mr.. Porter,
when he has anything to say he says it,
Notwithstanding the subject matter may
treat of things out Of the ordinary course
of events. Mr.. Porter refers casually to
the matter Of direct forest protection for
trees and plants. His idea is that pine
apples in the higher latitude of the
State can be successfully and profitably
grown under the shade Of the forest trees
found in the hammOcks. He also is of
the opinion that this will eventually
prove one of the mOst-if not the only
successful method Of growing orange
trees. The matter of planting orange
trees on hammock lands where the lar
ger natural growth is allowed to remain,
is by no means new. 1t has been proven
time and again in different parts Of the
State that oranges will grow on good
hammock land where the natural timber,
oak, magnolia, hickory, and palmetto is
allowed to remain. But how about the
pine trees? Can an orange grove be sue
cessfully made ON the pine ridges where
the pine trees still stand? We think DR..
Moore in the first edition of his excellent
Il ch n6
about fifteen years ago advocated this
plan, and we think we were shown by
the good doctor some ten or dozen years
ago, a young grove at Fruit Cove on the
St. Johns River, then his home, planted
among the pine trees. The trees at that
time were young, but apparently in good
health and putting on fine growth.
What was the ultimate result Of this eX
pertinent, we are unable to say, and il
DIR. Moore will inform our readers we
will be obliged to him.
There is no question but what the best
quality of hammock land in the State
will grow fine trees with the native tim
Der still standing. This fact is fully dem
onstrated by the magnificent sour trees
found growing among the densest hard
wood growth The trees, Of course, must
be fertilized eventually, and the question
arises, will not the native inhabitants Of
the forest consume the greater part OF
the fertilizing material intended for the
foreigner. 1t might be contended that
when the trees had attained an age suffi-
cient to do their own protecting and
obviate the necessity Of the forest pro-
lection, the native timber can be re-
moved, but in what manner can it be
done without injuring the orange trees.
We think it extremely doubtful that an
orange grove could be made among the
pine trees of our sand ridges, as the pine
trees would have a tendency to sap not
only the moisture Of the ground, but
likewise the artificial plant food applied
to the trees.

PUTNAM'S PIONEERS.

Stepping off the car at Huntington re-
Gently we were taken into the vehicle of
Mr.. Wetherbee whose place lies between
that and Fruitland. After a short ride of
about three miles we came to Mr.. Weth-
bees place bordering on one of Florida's
beautiful inland lakes. The location is
certainly beautiful one, and we do not
wonder that he is proud Of his lake front
Mr.. Werherbee was one of those stirring
Massachusetts, merchants but while in
business his health gave way and he was
obliged to come to Florida for relief.
He located on this homestead in 1881
and has made it his home ever since and
now has quite a grove coming into bear
ing and comfortable and cosy home by
the lake. The atmosphere of the home
was such that we could not help but rec
ognize that it was guarded over by one
of those noble and self sacrificing crea-
lures who holds the place Of wife and
mother in the truest and noblest sense.
Our mission here however was to pre-
scribe for the grove which had reached
the bearing age without giving very
abundant crop of fruit. The trees were
in fairly good condition but like many
others in the State had been feed only
enough to keep them in such a condi-
ton but not enough to enable the trees
to mature fruit buds and carry the fruit.
:o;, Of
purely chemical fertilizer and we await
the results.
While in the neighborhood we had the
pleasure Of calling on Mr.. j. o. Meier,
who is a thrifty German, and has seen
the rough side of making a grove IN
Florida without any capital to start with
except good muscle and indomitable
energy. While the trees were young he
planted cotton, sweet potatoes and veget-
ables between the rows, from the sale Of
which he bought the neceSsaries Of life.
His grove has now reached a point where
it will bring him an income. Part o.
his grove especially that near the house
is we'll loaded with fruit, but the farther
away from the house the lighter the
crop. This has convinced Mr.. Meier
that he has also reached the point with
his grove, wher increased fruitage will
come only from increased fertilizer. We
hope Mr. Meier will give our readers
some of his experience in raising his
grove and let them know what has really
been done We also met Mr. 3. A. Hog
art, who bears the reputation Of being
one of the thrifty settlers Of the section
who is maintaining himself and family
from a small grove and garden patch.
Our time being limited and having seen
our patient and diagnosed the case, we
wendell our way back to the train after
a very pleasant visit for which we owe
Mr.. Wetherbee many thanks.
