the "hard times" now existing in Florida; also
to encourage continued increase in membership
OF the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Growers
Association until the last grower has become g.
member. j. fl. G.
Keuka, Fla.
For years the AeRICULTURIsT has ad-
vocated the no-fence law or local OBJ
tion no-fence law, so that counties that
are dev oted to stock raising Can continue
this industry and still allow the farming
and trucking cotnties to 60 on without
having to build hog-proof fences. The
present method of voting and election of
officials must be changed before we can
expect much reform in assessments and
taxes. AS to prices of fertilizers, that
will be regulated by supply and demand
as is fully demon Strated at present.
Take, for instance, cotton seed meal, 1t
has never been so low, owing to the
light demand, Not long ago it was held
at 1872 to 1874 per ton now it can be had
from $3.50 tc $40 per ton in Car
lots. The Fruit and Vegetable Growers
Union should be continued even if box
of oranges was not shipped next year.
There is more need now to look after
every interest that effects the orange
grower. A very large portion of the
good prices received before the freeze
was due tc the work of this association
and the growers resolutey sticking 10
the sell-at-home plan.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-02-27

For many years the AGRICULTURIsT
has pleaded with the legislature to enact
some kind o. law for the protection of
our soil tillers. The fence tax is heavy
and unj just one, and as it benefits only
the owners of live stock it's collection
should be stopped, and the only way
to stop it is to require the owners of
stock to fence them in, or else make
them share the expense of fencing them
out. This latter plan could only be &C
complished by the levy of tax per
head on cattle and hogs, and we imagine
would meet with even greater opposi ton
than a nO-fence law.
1t is for our legislators to decide
whether general no-fence law or a
county option no-fence law will be the
most desirable. In some counties of the
State the cattle industry is of great
magnitude, and other agricultural in
dustries are of minor Importance. On
the other hand. there are counties where
the cattle industry is infnitessimal, as
compared with the business of farming
and fruit growing.
We think that perhaps county
option law would be the most satisfac-
tory. Give us a law framed somewhat
upon the lines of our county option
liquor law, and we believe it will be more
satisfactory than any other.
By this plan the question of no fences
would be put to a vote in counties
petitioning the commissioners for the
calling of an election. If ajority of
the voters decided for a no-fence law the
cattle owners would either have to fence
in their stock or pasture it in some other
county.

THE FENCE QUESTION.

The last Florida legislature distin-
guished itself for general incompetency
and by doing nothing to relieve the tax
payers oil the State of the burdens they
have carried for years. 1t consumed
every minute of time allowed by the
statutes, and the legislators, it is pre-
sumed, drew the full amount of pay.
Many new laws, of course, were
spread upon the statute books-a ma jor-
ity of which are, or will be, dead letters,
and at best are of no practical benefit
We have had other legislatures of this
kind in past years, but the one of 1898
broke all previous records and is en-
titled to the palm.
1t is unnecessary to point out to the
legislators elected last fall to make our
laws (and we hope repeal some of them)
their duties, or to attempt to post them
as to the wishes of their constituents
1t is their business to inform themselves
on these points, and if they have failed
to do it, they will disregard what any
journal might request.
At the same time it is our duty, as
spokesman for those who most need re-
lief-the soil tillers-to enter our protest
against the unjust, the disseminating
fence tax they are now required to pay.
OF course, this tax is not collected as
other taxes, but it is a tax for all that,
and heavy one, too. The farmer, the
orange grower, the trucker, and in fact
every man who tillS he soil, is COM
PEELED to spend large amount of money
in erecting and maintaining fences
against the predatory hog or the gentle
eyed kline, the property of others. If
the live stock interest of the State were
of greater importance than the fruit
growing, farming or trucking, there
might be shadow of an excuse to COM
pei the farmer and fruit grower to fence
out the stock instead of requiring the
owners of the stock to fence it in. But
In any event the excuse would be but a
shadow-the principle would be wrong
and it would be an injustice.
Our contemporary, the Florida Rural
list, has for some months been agitating
this subject, and we clip from its col

Debts on Florida Homes.

The census Office has issued an inter-
esting bulletin containing the statistics
of farms, homes and mortgages in Flor
ida. The leading results of the investi-
gaticn of farm and home proprietorship
in Florida for 1860, conducted by Special
Agents George X. Holmes and John S.
Lord, are contained in this bulletin.
In regard to farms, the conclusion IS
that 4.84 per cent of the farm families
hire and S. Is per cent own the farms
cultivated by them; that 2.95 per cent of
the farm owning families own subject to
incumbrance and 81 05 per cent own free
of lncumbrance. Among 100 farm fam
lilies, 35 hire their farms, two own with
incum brarce, and 60 without incum-
brance.
On the owned farms there are liens
amounting to $3.50, 48O, which is 31.21
per cent of their value, and this debt
bears interest at the average rate OF 1912
per cent, making the average annual in
terest charge $13l to each family. Each
owned and incumbered farm on the
average is worth So, 921, and is subject
to debt of 81 1924.
The corresponding facts for homes are
that 62. 81 per cent of the home families
hire and 37.46 per cent own their homes;
that of the homecoming families 95.38
per cent own free of incum brance. and
5 81 per cent with incum brance. In 100
home families, on the average g. hire
their homes, two own with incum brance,
and SO without incumbrance.
The debt on owned homes aggregates
S765, O73, or 38. 43 per cent of their value,
and bears interest at the average rate of
1922 per cent so that the annual amount
of interest to each home averages S1O5.
An average debt of S1,O17 incumbers
each home, which has the average value
of So, 647.
There are three cities in the State in
the class of those having population of
5000 to 100000 and in these cities 1852
per cent of the home families hire and
81. 48 per cent own their homes, and of
the homecoming families 1O.47 per cent
own with incumbrance and 1888 per
cent own free of incumbrance.

EDITORIAL CHAT.

II is really amusing to read at this
early date the estimates of the ''know-alls' on
the orange crop of the coming season. Some of
these fellows place the crop at 100000 boxes and
others at nothing at all. Our opinion is hat no
one knows-there is way of forming opiu-
ion, Two months hence we will probably be
ably be able to make a guess, but not before
then, The same to great extent is true of the
condition of the orange trees.

NURsERYMEN from California are now
canvassing Florida for the sale of orange trees,
and doubtless thousands of trees will be import
ed from California to replace those killed by the
freeze. Florida has no law to protect the orange
growers against the Importation OF Injurious in
sects and we suppose there is nothing to do but
grin and bear it. We wish to caution our or
ange growers however, to proceed with great
caution. A grove afflicted with the San Jose

However that may be, n great physical
transformation is taking place in the man.
His face is gradually but surely changing
from its natural type until it now shows a
striking resemblance to that of an ape.
The features, which were formerly mild
and Semitic, are now out of all proportion.
The jaw has become protruding and SO en-
larged that it is "undershot'' to a terrible
degree, and the forehead is perceptibly re-

growing larger and longer and now resem-

He says that in 1889 he began to be af.

the change in his features began, but it
was SO gradual that it was some time be.

crook is the DESK" said a New York de-

Is to wait until some prosperous looking

But he knows that 90 has gone out for
some time any way. Any thief can open
the ordinary hotel room door with skele-

even whistles as he rattles the pick lock,
