A western farmer who is correspond
ing with Florida land agency with the
idea of purchasing farm, inquiries why
one person says that this State is the
best place for poor man to come to,
while another states that such a man
would starve here. The prospective
settler incloses in his letter an article on
Florida clipped from western paper
presenting dismal view of the orange
culture. The article states that all of
the orange trees are dead, and omits the
fact that the southern counties are mar
keting over 60, 900 boxes of the fruit this
year. 1t goes on to say that last winters
experience is liable to be repeated any
year and that, even if another freeze
should not occur, eight or ten years
must elaps before the State can b come
great producer Of oranges. N one
can say when another disastrous freeze
may visit Florida, but the wea Il re-
cords show that the one of las winter
was almost unexampled in severity.
Experienced growers do not believe that
they will be obliged to work for ten
years to bring injured groves back to
their former condition. A fair crop will
be shipped next year, and in all prob
ability within three or four years the
old groves in the orange belt and the
new ones in the lower counties will to
gether produce a crop nearly equal to the
largest over raised.
The article also asserts that probably
more real disconteat exists among the
landowners of Florida than among those
of any other part of the United States.
The freeze of last February was the
most severe Of any experienced in this
State during the past fifty years. 1t
ruined large portion of the orange
crop, and the trees in the northern part
of the State were killed to the roots.
But Florida is over $50 miles in length,
and while freeze may do much dam
age in some localities, others escape.
The disaster discouraged the growers
in the northern counties,i in which many
OF the larger groves are located, but it
encouraged those in the lower counties,
which have large tracts of land suited to
the cultivation of citrus fruits, but very
few orange groves.
But the freeze did more than to de-
fine clearly the so. called frost line.
With their groves damaged, and with
no prospect of crop of oranges for
several years to come, growers in the
northern part of the State saw that they
must turn their attention to ether pro.
ducts. Before orange-growing assumed
large proportions, Florida farmers raised
corn, cotton, tobacco, potatoes, rice and
many other crops, and made fair profits.
They have now returned to their old
system, and have proved for second
time that diversified farming will bring
good returns.-Citizen.

An Experts Opinion.

contains the following:
Mr.. M. s. Moreman, who was in the
city few days ago, has been making a
tour of the State for purpose which
will readily commend itself to all who
are in any way interested in orange cult
ure. Mr.. Moreman was for many years
a valued and highly useful employe of
the Florida Fruit Exchange, and also an
experienced and successful orange
grower at Switzerland on the St. Johns
river. 1t is for these reasons easy to see
why when the Experiment Station Of
Lake City first conceived the idea of is
suing a bulletin in which should be re-
. corded the latest aspect of the orange
problem in Florida, attention should
have been turned toward Mr.. Moreman
as perhaps the most available authority
in the State with whom to entrust the
preparation of the necessary data.
When seen in the hotel here by repre-
sentative of the Tribune. Mr.. Moreman
was on his way back from Manatee
county, having very nearly completed
his task by thorough inspection of the
orange belt with the exception of Lee
county; and in reply to question said
that his experience had on the whole
been gratifying, and that he was dis
posed to take brighter view of the sit
uaticn since taking the tour than be-
fore.
II do not think" added the distin-
guished expert, that we shall again
hear the old cry of over production or
again be confronted by any such problem
as that which two years ago stared us IN
the face. In other words, believe that
in six or seven years we shall have
plenty of oranges and living prices"
Don't you think that coed many
men will go out of the business" was
asked.
mo, my observations satisfy me that
not over Is per cent of the groves are
likely to be abandoned, and the big
prices of the next few years are in my
judgment likely to draw that many new
men into business that has about it a
certain fascination of It's own"
Mr.. Moreman' S observations, upon the
relative conditions of various sections
of the orange belt were especially inter-
esting. After speaking in high terms
of the condition of the trees in the neigh
borhood of Tampa and in certain por
tions of Manatee county, which he de-
scribed as in part due to the climatic
conditions prevailing on the day of the
big freeze, he went on to say:
II think that on the whole, the trees
around Leesburg look as well as any
have seen. The groves around Ocala
and along the Indian river, on the con-
trary, suffered heavily, At Micanopy
they Jared worse than in any other por-
ton of the State, as indeed they did all
along the limestone ridge that extends
southwark from that place. Around
Orange Lake and along the line of the
Florida Southern Railway they are in
better condition. Very little of that
good land will be abandoned, and Mr..
Sampson, one of the largest growers
there, has shown his faith in the future
by buying twenty.eight acres of stumps
of his neighbors. Major Fairbanks,

attempt of the Mormons in Utah to dom
mate politics has excited bitter discussion
within the territory, regardless of party,
and some have said they preferred to vote
tion than to submit to Mormon domino
ton. The senators, too, that are to come
from Utah may change the complexion
of tho Senate, and if the constitution is
accepted, as it undoubtedly will be- the
work of the Legislature will be watched
with interest. The Republicans under
the leadership of Mr.. Cannon carried the
territory by 1921 plurality in 1894.
There is really no question that Bush
nell, tho Republican candidate, will be
elected in Ohio, as the combination Of
Campbell's eloquence and Brice's millions,
while they may serve and probably will
to reduce the size of the phenomenal Re
publican majority, can win under no con-
ceivablc conditions. Moreover, it is
said that Brice, discouraged in his
senatorial outlook, refuses to pay in the
500, 600 he pledged. In Massachusetts
there is little to excite interest outside of
the state for Republican victory is a fore
gone conclusion. 1t is not expected that
Greenhalge will hold the phenomenal
plurality of 65, 377, which he had in 1894,
but the intelligent people of Massachu
sets are through with taking chances in
Democracy, and many of the Democrats
admit the excellence of the Grcenhalge
administration.
