Oranges and Ii mons in Italy

The ministry of agriculture of the
Kingdom of Italy has published in one
of his agricultural bulletins a summary
Of the citrus fruit crop of 1892 '93.
The revised figures reduced the prelim
mary estimate of the number of fruits,
3,249, 489 900 to 2, 139. SIT 958 or %, 713, ,0O6
less than last years number.
The season like that Of last year was
not very favorable to this crop, damage
by frost and disease being reported. Or
anges suffered less from the rigor of the
season and produced 189 fruits per tree,
as against 172 in 1891. Lemons, citrons,
mandarins, etc., produced less than last
year. The average production of all
kinds of citrus fruits per tree was 1876
fruits, precisely the same as in 1891.
The total number of trees was estimated
at 5000, 1926, or 90, 8,572 less than in the
preceding year.
According to this report there are in
Italy 7 7,429, 315 bearing orange trees, pro
ducing annually 1899, ,651 ,957 oranges,
or an average of 180 to the tree, probably
about one of our standard boxes. AS the
trees of Italy are doubtless old ones this
yield seems very small indeed, and does
not compare with the yield of the Flor
ida trees.
There are 7,162, 1862 lemon trees in the
Kingdom, yielding annually /, ,499, ,495, ,5O4
lemons or an average of 200 to the tree
Last year Italy exported 374 ,584, 247
pounds of oranges and lemons, against
427, ,877.5S pounds in 1889, showing a
very marked reduction.

to point where the grower does not
realize cent car. The policy Of the
government in case of that kind should
not merely increase the duty on the
product but the tariff should be particu-
larly prohibitive.
The class of men who oppose these
measures are those whose names end in
i." They are the importers and i'm
port from their own country. Their
double interests can thus easily be seen
and their power will probably be felt in
Washington when the time comes for
final action on the bill. One of these
Wreckers of industry says that Califor-
MIA is not adapted to the culture of the
orange, and gives that as his reason for
opposing the bill.
Such an opinion as that is too absurd
to be discussed and only shows that these
fellows are ignorant of everything but
what they saw in their own country,
where they should have staid. All good
ci tiZens will be glad to see the bill go
through, as it will not make oranges any
dearer to the consumer, but it will enable
the producer to get some price out of the
fruit that now goes to the dump.-Phila

The Duty on Oranges

There is bill before Congress to in
crease the duty on oranges. The meas
ure has been introduced by California
member and should be supported from
beginning to end. We can clearly see
the effects of the foreign oranges on the
market for domestic oranges. There are
not only enough oranges produced in
this country to supply our home con-
sumption but there is an overproductiOn
argues the Minneapolis Produce Bulletin.
The MesSina and Mexican orange comes
in direct competition with our own or
anges and at the same time it tends to
still further aggravate the already
noticed evil of too many oranges. Every
box of these oranges only helps to knock
the price of the American product down

yellow fever, with an occasional cpl
demic. Now if the predisposition
within those cities generated mild or
sporadic yellow fever, could not the same
misasmic emenations intensified by de-
composed animal and vegetable matter,
create what we may term the disposition
or infection, and thus the disease become
not ony epidemic but also endemic
Therefore quarantine becomes beneficial
only so far as depriving the vessel of the
disposition, or infection, which is done
not by medicinal germicides, but airing
the cargo and cleaning the vessel. For
if the disposition, or infection, on board
ship should be brought ashore and
uniting with the predispositiOn there,
we have local atmospheric infec-
tion gradually spreading, becoming an
epidemic. This, no doubt, was the case
in Brunswick, Ca, the infection being
for sometime confined to an out of the way
locality. Proper sanitation is our only
effectual prevention for with this there
can be no predispOsition. But sanitation
will ever remain defective as long as the
inspectors are political appointees, that
are responsible to neither city, State or
government, as they would not damage
their popularity by reporting unsanitary
enclosures. Yet the same enclosure
may contain an infective focus or nu-
cleus that may extend and become
widespread epidemic. This may ac-
count for many obscure cases on ships
and in cities, the origin Of which has never
been discovered. The expediency or
reliability of State land or sea quaran-
tine is very questionable if not fallacious.
The detention in quarantine five or ten
days when the period of incubation in
yellow fever extends to fifteen days is
not consistant with sound reasoning.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Yellow Fever Epidemic.

Whether yellow fever is exotic or in
digenous exclusively within the tropics,
whether the disease is native or endemic
in warm and semi-tropical climate, or
whether from predispOsing causes under
high temperature it becomes epidemic? :?
are important questions that should be
diligently and detinately determined.
For upon this much of the States pros
perity depends. Her commerce is in
terrupted, her immigration retarded,
and her treasury is being deplited Our
impressions and observations have long
been that hygenic and sanitary in
fuences will not only modify prevailing
epidemics, but it is the moving princi-
pie that repels and the cardinal elements
in preventing disease that delights lin
foul and insalubrious locality, such as
yellow, typhoid and typhus fevers. And
SO long as modern medical scientists lend
their energies in ancient beaten paths,
seeking solution of most difficult
and momentous problem, the cure and
prevention of yellow fever, so long will
the matter rest in profound and i'm
penitrable mystery. In our seaport
cities often arises unhealthy marshy mi
asma, and where less regard was paid to
sanitation in the cities of Charleston, S.
c., and New Orleans, La, no summer
passed without mild or spo radio cases 0

been an orange tree that produced it.
The trees take the form of the orange,
while the fruit is produced in clusters;
in form not quite SO much fiattened, but
it is that of the grapefruit. In quality,
to many tastes, it is superior to the orange.
The bitter principle of the shaddcok
is somewhat retained, but it is covered
up with the sweets and acids, and so
nicely blended that it makes fruit more
rich, with decided tone over that of
the orange.
Should | attempt to account for these
changes that have come since it's intro
ductiOn to this country, it would be spec
ulative, yet, believe, correct. Our very
peculiar climate, that | know in other
instances has brought about pomologi-
Cal changes that scientists of other sec
tions have told US could not be, has
caused this remarkable fruit to become
crossed with the orange, until in it we
have not only the health-giving principle
of the parent grapefruit, that is SO
highly spoken of by our best physicians,
but the lucious sweet orange of Florida.
In the markets for our oranges there is
rapidly increasing demand for the
grapefruit, and can but believe that
with the Introduction of these improved
varieties, the demand will so increase
that it will be more sought after than
our famed orange.-James Motifs Cata-
lOgue.

It's culture has been extended over
very wide range Of country, often in
wild state. One naturalist (Seeman)
says: at is extremely common about
the Fiji Isles, and covering the banks of
the rivers" De Candolle says: In
China one species has a simple name, Yu,
but its written character appears too
complicated for a truly indigenous
plant" 1t is said to be common in
China and Cochin China, and that in
the islands to the east of the Malay Ar
chipelago the cearest indications of a
wild state are found.
''ShaddOck was the name of cap
tain who first introduced the species into
the West Indies" The name pomelo
and grapefruit are more than likely To-
cal names given it since it came to Eu-

inside of which is divided Webster
says, "a fleshy or pulpy pericarp, which
is very marked in this fruit. The name

the fruit takes on the tree, being pro-
duced in clusters, often twenty or more
of the fruit in bunch; it is surprising
the loads of fruit this tree will produce.
There are three distinct forms, though,
while they are all shaddOcks, the names
of them somehow have become divided;
the larger form is called pomelo, then
shaddOck, from the red color, both of
skin and fruit. | am at a loss to know
whether this was one of the distinct
forms imported by Captain ShaddOck,
as De Candolle, in his "Origin OF Guilt
waited Plants" makes no mention of it.
While have no data, think it's intro
ductiOn is later than that of the orange,
as in no case have [ found the grape
fruit wild, which is the case of both the
sweet and bitter-sweet oranges.
There have been several importations,
since the real settlement of this country,
from India and other sections, but in no
case have found them to be improve
ments over those first introduced. There
has been, however, very decided i'm
prOvements of our own origin in the last
decade. The form in some instances has
become somewhat changed: the size less,
skin thinner, with less seed and rag, and
the quality changed from the pungent
acid of the old form to that of "deli
cious," sweet fruit. All of these, so far
as have seen, are chance seedlings, and
some of them, after it was found they
were better, have been more or less pre-
served by budding.
am very much inclined to the belief
that often they are accidentally crossed
with the orange. One l might mention,
the Aurantium pomelo, as the name i'm
plies, partakes of both the sweet orange
nd the shaddock. 1t is said to hav-

The President devoted himself today to se-
clusion and to work The only visitor he saw was
Senator Vest, with whom he had an appoint
ment and who was alone with him for some
time. Even the members Of the cabinet
refralned from calling. At 1 o'clock the
President went to the east room to shake
hands with the visitors who assembled on
public reception day to pay their respects.
There were several hundreds there to shake
hands with him. among them a large party of
English tourists and the Democratic Editors
Associations of Maryland.
Before going down to have his hand shaken the
President sent out the appointment OF

eight applications for pardon which he had ex-
amined during the morning and passed upon.

In such cases. He says that he Is In

law against the carrying of concealed
weapons, and does not intend often to
interfere with the punishment inflicted for that
cffense, but that the circumstances in this
particular case lead him to grant the pardon
For the time being the new country house
will be the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland and
the President will be there except during office
hours during the day. He will drive in to the
White House every morning and at the end of
the days work will return to his country resi-

LIEUT.. LENLY'S CASE.
The Order for Him to Join HE Battery Re-
voked.

Tho Order for Him to Join His Battery Re-
volked.
Before leaving for New York Saturday even
ing Secretary Lamont revoked the order pre-
viously issued by him ordering Lieut..
Henry R. Lemly, third artillery,
to rejoin his battery. Lieutenant
Lemly will therefore remain on leave Of
absence in the service of the Columbian gov
ernment. The Secretary's action is based
on the belief that there is nothing in the case
OF Lieut.. Lemly in violation of the
spirit or letter Of the statutes
prohibiting the employment Of army
officers outside of the service. He IL supported
in this belief by the fact that the contract en-
tered into by Lemly with the Columbian govern
ment received the sanction OF Congress and
carried with it the privilege Of leave Of absence.
Otherwise it would be OF no effect whatever.
Lieut.. Lemlv. who is now in this
city, will return to Chicago and re-
sumo his duties for the Columbian
government in connection with the construc-
tion Of their building and the preparation of
their exhibit.
No action has yet been taken in the case Of
Capt. Rossell. but the impression is growing
that mis- leave OF absence will be
revoked on the ground that it was granted in
violation of the spirit of the law regulating
such matters.

AN IMPORTANT ORDER.
New Procedure in Regard to Appli-
oants for Office.
SECRETARY HOKE SMITH
Has Made q New Rule as to Persons Amply
ing for Office Outside the Classified Serv-
ice-It Will Relieve the Secretary and
Benefit the Applicants.

ANY man who saw the crowd around Secre-
tary Hoke Smiths Office today could not wonder
that the Secretary had been driven to
horseback riding to escape his pursuers.
On the contrary it would seem a wonder
that he has not chosen a balloon or calle upon
Prof Langley for his flying machine. There
WAS standing room only" in the Secretary's
Office this MOI ming, and not much OF that The
crowd was eager. intense and perspiring.
Secretary Smith is probably in Il position
now to feel with the man who sighed for lodge
in some vast wilderness. He used to make jocu.
lar remarks when he came up to the White
House earlier in the season about the crowds
that beset the President and laugh at his
predicament. But he knows what it is himself
now.
THE PRESSURE FOR OFFICE.
The pressure for Office is always heavy on
the Secretary OF the Interior because he con-
trolls so many desirable appointment in the
Indian service, the general land Office, the geo.
illogical survey and the pension bureau There is
q great scramble for these places and each of
fee has many applicants 1t would be hard to
find, however, Il man who is more good natured
or more accessible to the crowd OF office seekers
than Secretary Smith and he bears his burden
with patience.
Yet there is limit to endurance and Score
tary Smith has reached il. He has found that
the public service Is liable to suffer by reason
Of the demands made upon his time by office
seekers, and he has decided upon u new plan OF
procedure which was promulgated today and
will 60 into effect Immediately.
THE NEW PLAN OF PROCEDURE.
Hereafter applicants for appointment to
places above the classified service will be re-
ferred first to the head Of the bu-
reau under which the Office IL
located, as the Secretary will not
make the appointment without consulting the
commissioner of that particular bureau. APP
plicants Tor positions below the classified SER
vice will consult the chief of the appointment
division.
This division Of labor will not only relieve
the secretary Of u great deal OF unnecessary
interruption from the daily duties Of
his office. but will give the Iudiau
commissioners. the land commissioners the
pension commissioners and the heads sf other
bureaus an opportunity to take part in the
selection Of their subordinates, for whom they
will be responsible.
Secretary Smith thinks this plan will not
only expedite the public business. but will be
Of benefit to the applicants themselves by
bringing their cases to head quicker.
1t is not proposed to shut the Secretary 3
door in the face of official callers for they will
be received from 10 to IL o clock.
