One Buggy Was Wrecked, But no Ono
Was Injured.
Yesterday afternoon about 1870 o'clock
j. w. Moore was driving pair OF horses
attached to light buggy belonging to
McLaughlin's livery stable when the
horses became frightened shortly after
leaving the stable on jefferson street
and ran up Salem avenue. Mr.. Moore
and tho colored driver kept the team
partly under control until the lines
broke when the horses became uuman-
ageahle and overturned the buggy on
Salem avenue between Commerce. and
Park streets. Neither Mr.. Moore or
the driver were injured, but the buggy
was wrecked and one of the horses
slightly hurt.
While DR.. II. A. Sims was driving
down Jefferson street yesterday after
noon his horse became frightened and
ran away. Near the Terry building Dr.
Sims jumped out safely and escaped en-.
tirely unhurt. The negro driver re-
manned in The buggy and stopped the
horse just after he had turned the cor
ner at the Christian K Barbee Drug Com
pany. Neither the driver, horse or
buggy was seriously hurt.

For the Summer.

Many remedies are suggested for the
prevention or removal of freckles The
girl who freckles will probably continue
to so long as she exposes her face to the
direct rays of the sun. Aveil, big hat
and parasol are her best weapons of
defense, with the addition of little cold
cream. The best recipe for this most
harmless cosmetic is pure white wax and
spermaceti of the best quality, softened
with almond oil and cucumber Juice.

WHAT THE PRODUCER GETS.

The following clipping from the Home
and Farm throws some light on the
question as to who gets the most out of
a crop, the farmer who sows the seed,
cultivates the ground and harvests the
crop, or the railroad company that trans
ports the produce to market What is
true of Georgia watermelon crop in this
particular is true of the orange or any
other fruit crop.
The Farm and Home says:
Tie area planted to watermelons in George
last year is given at 2S.54O acres Georgia rank
ing the first State in the country in the pro
duction of this fruit The 1892 crop of melons
estimated netting the farmers about
$4S9,OOO which is at the rate of $l7 per acre. The
railroads that carried the melons to market re-
ceived gross of 81, OOO, 900, for freight
rather than double the amount the farm
ers Melted for their crop. The farmers have to
cultivate their land. the seed, care for their
crops, take all risk and chances of failure and de-
liver their melons on board the cars for the rail
road to carry, receiving their reward for their
time, labor, money and risk SIT per acre. The
railroad carries the fruit to market, has risk
and receives as freight the equivalent of $35 per
acre on the melon crop.
1t would be interesting to watch the progress
OF this or any other crop in the market, and the
development Of charges fruit vegetables
next pass through the hands OF the commission
merchants or middlenen, then to the retailers and
finally to the consumers. With an increase OF
100 per cent. in one handling from farmer to rail-
road, it may perhaps be fairly assumed that
neither the retailer or the middlemen al ows crops
to pass through his hnnds without each impns-
ing an additional tax of 100 per cent. his share
of the transaction. When the grower of fruits
and vegetables hears of the prices paid by the
consumer for the stuff that he has grown. and
from which he can barely make living. it is not
surprising if he is inclined to be somewhat OF a
kicker.

A glance at the above will show
that the fruit sent to market first
in September and October realized
the best prices, and it is probable that
the 2,261 boxes of green oranges shipped
in September and the 2,411 in October
had much to do with the low prices of
subsequent months.
The shipping season, it will be seen,
spreads over period of nine months, but
six months, from November to May can
be called the shipping season, and even
this is encouraging when we consider
that other fruit crops must be marketed
within few weeks time.
February and March were the poorest
months the past season, the net prices real
lied being only 81. 10 and $1.O9 per box,
which after deducting the cost of pick
ing and packing, leaves the grower
the very unsatisfactory prices Of
SO and IS cents per box respectively.
The cold weather this year, Of course,
caused the unsatisfactory prices for
these two months.
New York consumed more oranges
than any other city and was followed by
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Pittsburg IN the order named.

THE ia JACKSONVILLE MEETING

The meeting of fruit and vege table
growers at Jacksonville on the Goth was
not very largely attended, but those pres
ent appeared to be united in the opinion
that their condition would be greatly
improved by an organization uniting
their diversified interests. This fact is
patent to all, and the only question is, how
is this organization to be accomplished?
The Jacksonville meeting failed to out
line plan of action, but appointed
committee to issue an address to the
people of the State on the necessity of
the fruit andvegetable growers organic
ing and inducing buyers to come to the
State, and the com mittee was authorized
to issue a call for another meeting to be
held early in the fall
After all this matter of inducing
buyers to come here and buy is doubtless
the desideratum. When by organiZa-
ton we shall have prevailed upon our
people to cease consigning their produce,
the object will be obtained, for when we

The first act of the new board was to
request the resignation of everyone con-
nected with the Agricultural College and
the Experimental Station to take effect
within sixty days, This does not nee
essarily mean that all of the present in
cumbents will be turned down, as
some Of them will doubtlessly be reap
pointed, but if some of them are not rel
egated to the shades of oblivion Floridians
will be grievously disappointed.

For THE FLORIDA A GRICULTRIsT.
Advantages of Selling Fruit at Home.

At the recent meeting of the Florida
Horticultural Society in Pensacola, the
committee on marketing stated in their
report, that fifty-fve per cent. of the
orange crop just marketed, were sold at
home-either on the trees or f. O. b. In
his address before the late meeting of the
Fruit Exchange, President Fairbanks
stated that seventy per cent. were sold
at hOme-ten per cent being cancelled on
account Of the freeze. Coming from
such sources, the orange growers are JUS
titled in believing that these statements
are entirely reliable, and it certainly
shows a condition of affairs far more
satisfactory and far more encouraging
to them than could otherwise be believed.
With more than half the crop sold at
home this year it ought to be possible to
sell at least three-fourths of the coming
crop in the same manner, because the
advantages are of so marked character,
that those who have sold in that manner
once, will continue to do so, and their
example will be followed by their neigh
bOrs. There can be no question but
this fruit sold at home brought the grow
ers at least twenty cents per box more
than the same amount sold in any other
manner. Placing the crop at 3,50O,OO
boxes, the growers who sold at home
saved the handsome sum of S42O,O be-
sides having less labor, less care, and
absolutely no risk. This subject of sell
ing at home is one which ought to be
kept constantly before the growers dur
ing the present summer, and "the under
signed" will have more to say, anon.

EARLY TOBACCO HISTORY.

Inc manufacturers Record OF BALL
more, gives an interesting account Of the
early tobacco culture in Florida. The
Record says, tobacco was first cultiva-
ted for market in 1929 in Gadsden
County.
A Virginia tobacco planter who had
settled there found that the soil was
peculiarly adapted to the plant, giving
it aine, silky texture and yielding large
return per acre. His efforts in rails
ing it were followed by others, and in
1910 the production for the State was
1924 pounds. From this time until
1850 the culture extended into Calhoun,
Jefferson, Leon and Marion Counties,
and in the latter year 39S,614 pounds
we're grown in the State-776,17O pounds
in Gadsden, 100000 in Marion and the
remainder from the other counties. In
rhe decade from 1850 to 1860 tobacco
growing first increased, and in the latter
years declined, owing to increased efforts
to raise Sea Island cotton and sugar
cane, so that in the last named year the
total production of the Stat had
dropped to S28, S15 pounds. Following
this, the practical abandonment of agri-
cultural puruits during the war, and from
its close to 1S7OtobaccO culture rec ived
but small share of attention, the
amount grown in the latter year being
but 157, 4O5 pounds. From 1870 to
1880 many causes acted against tobacco
culture-the difficulty of obtaining rela-
ble labor for crop which demands such
care and attention, that the relatively
higher price of other products and the
increasing difficulty OF raising fine leaf
on lands which had long been under cnl-
tivatiOn. How greatly these factors
mpeded the work can be realized from
the fact that in 1880 the total yield OF
the State was but 81 1872 pounds.
From this time, however, new lands
were opened and tobacco planting re-
ceived further stimulus, and with the
Introduction of q number of new varie-
ties which are held in high favor by cigar
manufacturers, has been steadily gaining
ground, the production in 1890 being
47O,44 pounds. With the erection of
cigar and tobacco factories which are seek
ing Florida both because he climates so
we'll suited for tobacco manufacturing
and of the high grade leaf grown there, it
is probable that in the next few years the
State will be producing more tobacco
than ever before in ts history, and with
the very material advantage of working
all it's leaf into shape for the market.
