While it is true that we are producing yearly
between 3, 600 and 100000 boxes OF oranges
and q few hundred carloads OF other fruits and
vegetables, believe that further progress, to any
considerable extent, must dependin great meas
ure upon the facility with which we can water our
cultivated lands. BY irrigation we eliminate the
great element of chance from farming. The non
irrigator cares for his crops with fear and trem-
bling hoping that the weather clerk will bestoW on
his particular labors the proper amount OF mo1s-
ture. The chances against him; perhaps he
meets with a total failure, or possibly he harvests
what he considers a fair crop. The difference be
tween fair crop and what he might reasonably
expect, had he irrigation facilities. might have
paid that 1,0C0 mortgage, or built new house
in place of the log house he now occupies.
While irrigation has the effect of intensifying
agriculture it will also have the effect OF increas
ing the varieties OF our products to an unlimited
extent. From exhaustive experiments covering
several years, have become fully convinced that
hay, of quality equal to the imported article,
can be produced. by system attic cultivation and
irrigation of our pine lands, at an expense of S.
per ton; Irish potatoes Is cents per bushel; corn
for 25 cents per bushel; beans for So per bushel
and other products at correspondingly low cost.
Then will beef mutton and pork be home
made and uneXcelled.
When people come to regard irrigation as
process not to be avoided, but welcomeit as sure
means of escape from the bondage that now holds
them, then will our cheap lands become profitable

Irrigation IN Florida.

There is no subject affecting the welfare of Flor
ida that is of more Importance than the subject
of irrigation. We might as well "throw up the
sponge if in plans for thefuture development
of our agricultural and horticultural farms we do
not make irrigation the corner stone. Our dry
seasons obIige us to undertake the cultivation of
a very limited list of products. We have hardly

Nutrition of the Citrus.

Both from the scientific and botanical as well
as commercial aspect the nutrition of the citrus
is of superlative Importance.

Nature has given most plants, in providing
for their reproduction, the physical power under
normal conditions of storing in the seed recepta-
cles food supply often many times in excess of
the actual needs of the embryo so that in ad-
verse soils and seasons or climates the race is
perpetuated tn ough the qualities that IN ade
the seeds or fruits desirable for food are poorly
developed or lacking.
There are no fruits more susceptible to lOca-
ton, food and care than the citrus, and any OBJ
servant grower notices the difference in texture
and flavor of the fruits on high, poor and dry
soils and those of mari hammocks. The natural
soils in the latter instance often controlling the

In the death OF Mrs. Arethusa Gates
Whitne4, our town has lost one Of its
best ana most worthy women. Nearly all
her married life was spent on whitney
! Hill. In early WOmanhood she came there
the wife OF Geo. Whitney, who died July
IL, 1868, aged 81 years.
This was the old Whitney homestead
Her husbands father was born and died
there. In that old home she witnessed the
mystery OF life and death. She there pass
ed through the tenderest and saddest ex-
periences Of human life. She was the
mother OF six children. One passed away
in the beauty Of its childhood, another
IN the strength OF his manhood a born
soldier defending his country-one whom
his fellow soldiers were proud to honor by
naming their Grand Army organization
Whitney Post. She had five sons-all she
had-in the Union Army at one time.
When we remember her ancestors we dc
not wonder she had the spirit OF patriot
ism born in her. Her father, Capt. Ben
lamin Gates OF Barre. Mass, was one Of
the Revolutionary soldiers, was a commits
stoned officer in the War OF 1872, and died
in 1854, almost a hundred years old,
lacking less than six months. When
she died, she was an enrolled member of
Whitney Relief Corps, having the respect
and honor of that mother whose son gave
his life for his country and his name to
this patriotic organization. Tina. mother
was loved by her children. When they
came back to their old heme,a mother was
there to greet them. When they left, a
mothers benediction went with them.
A shadow rests on that old homestead
Father and mother are both gone. One
son was absent on the day OF the funeral
Three OF them were there and looked on
her calm, sweet face. Three of them stood
around her open grave decked with ever
green and flowers and silently thanked
God for such a mother.
The bright and cheerful faith which she
cherished comforted them and made them
feel-"All is welln
Large numbers came to her funeral,
which was attended at her request by Rev
=. A. Parker, who otficiated at her hus-
bands funeral almost 30 years ago For
many years she was a member Of the Uni
versalist church and a generous supporter
OF its services. She nied the Sth day OF
July, 1898, having lived the long, useful
and happy life OF 81 years.
Her memory will ne cherished as a heal
ing balm TO sorrowing hearts.
