Occidental and oriental Fair.

TACOMA, Wash. Sept. ia proposal to
hold an Occidental and Oriental fair in
Tacoma in the summer of 1900 was consid-
cred at large meeting OF citizens held at
the Chamber OF Commerce. and unani-

to perfect plans and get the work started
both in this country and In the countries
OF the East which IL Is hoped TO interest
The object will be to foster trade rela-
tions between the United States and Or.en-
tai nations. The project has been decided
on as a result of the great growth in the
Oriental traffic. which has so increased in
three years that 10000 tons. or 400 train
loads. OF freight from and going to the
Orient will be handled by the Tacoma
China line this year. Congress will be
asked early In the next session 10 appro-

lusion that their taxes will be lighter
If all property owners do likewise the
levy of millage would be increased, of
course, but only a given sum for State
and county purposes would be the result,
whereas, If the valuation had been
made at full cash value the required
sum would have been exactly the same
and the millage reduced correspond
ingly.
Give property owners the right of
appeal on assessments, but never per
NIT them to make the valuation. Under
the present unsatisfactory plan there is
too much latitude between the selling
price of property and it's assessed valua-
tion. With full cash value the prop
erty owners would not be compelled to
bear so great a proportion Of the burdens
of taxation which the wealthier classes
dodge under low valuations.
Further relief could be given TAX pay
ers by making assessments of real estate
every five years. 1t would be necessary
to assess personal property annually
Instead of selling lands at delinquent tax
sales, the list should be certified to the
State, the treasurer to remit the full
amount due to the county. At some
future time way to do this will be pro-
posed. ROBERT A. MILLS.

ditOr Florida Agriculturist:


Editor Florida ARricu1turfst:
It's "bow of promise" sign when the
newspapers take up the fight against the
tax title cormorants and unequal assess
ments in the interest of those who are
compelled to bear the burdens of taxa
tiOn
1t is proposed that a State Board of
Equalization be created by law. This
would be more satisfactory than the
present plan of leaving it practically to
the assessors, in relation to which you
quote Comptroller Bloxham as saying
that assessments vary in the several
counties Of the State from 90 to 90 per
cent on full cash values.
If the creation of State Board of
Equalization is deemed the best way to
secure uniformity, then it were we'll
that the next meeting Of the legislature
enact The requisite law to carry this
idea into effect without delay. The
State officers could act, ex-officiO. as the
Board Of Equalization, without adding
penny to the expenses, now paid by
the people, for it's practical appplica-
tiOn.
Every taxpayer in Florida would hail
with delight any plan of fairness In
making assessments for State purposes
Another plan which is fair on it's face,
but unequal as to values in different
counties, would be to require the same
amount of the aggregate sum needed for
State purposes from each County, re-
gardless of assessments
Still another, and perhaps the fairest
and least expensive, would be for the
comptroller to be authorized to call for
a per capita tax on every resident of
Florida, taking the United States CEN
sus as basis; then pro rate the whole
sum required for the State by counties,
according to their population, respect
iyely.
After notifying the clerks the amount
s She State requires in given county, it
should be the duty of the county COM
missioners to levy the requisite millage
to produce the result, from the full cash
value of real and personal property
assessed in that county.
This plan would not interfere in the
lie ast with the assessment of property at
it's full cash value; but to reach this
most desirable result the valuing should
be done by disinterested parties-never
by the owners
AS pleasing prelude to the urgent in
vitation to home seekers, the land agents
and local newspapers could point with
pride to the assessments so taken, and
the consequent decreased millage levied
for taxation.
1t is mistaken discernment on the
part of property owners to insist on
valulng personal and real estate at one
third of its actual value, under the de-

need phosphoric acid and potash at still
another time when he thinks they need
potash?
Personally, would mot expect much
benefit from sulphate and potash applied
together with the nitrogen as nitrate of
soda on the slow growing orange tree and
much less if they were applied separ-
ately at long intervals. Nitrate of potash
is formed chemically, commercially, by
mixing equal solutions Of nitrate of soda
and muriate of potash at high temper
atures, and if nitrate of soda is wanted
as orange tree food from nitrate of soda,
muriatic of potash applied with the nj
trate of soda would be chemically in
dicated, the base transposition to be &C
complished by the bacterial activity of
the soil. Then comes the question of
chlorine and soda.
The, =. is also limit to the-use Of nj
trate of soda alone, for if the nitrogen is
abstracted from it's base, carbonate OF
soda is indicated as the natural result
and one tenth of one per cent of this al
kali in the soil is corrosive and destruc-
tive to vegetation.
We see a good deal in newspapers OF
the "deadly parallel column" but the
"average analysis" is equally deadly

feedeth so in great measure will be It's

therefore in these particulars L have
collected the most available analyses of
Florida oranges and typical Florida soils
and will draw few of the conclusions
the facts seem to warrant
| have for this purpose requested the
editor to publish in connection with this
article the orange analysis made by Pro-
fessor J. J. Earle of the Florida Expert
ment Station to show the comparative
of oranges and table OF
typical Florida soils, including the soils
of G. W. Butler, St. Petersburg, made by
Professor Robinson, while State chemist,
to show the comparative scarcity OF pot
ash in all our soils. AS to the California
oranges whose average analysis called
for Ia pounds of potash, 1000 pounds
of phosphoric acid, and 36. 10 pounds of
nitrogen to 10000 pounds of oranges, |
can only say that nitrogen or ammonia
has been considered the most desirable
and profitable element to apply, and that
sheep manure in some sections has been
the favorite fertilizer. 1t makes "a pro-
tective peel" In Florida it is well known
that heavy applications of organic nitro
gen produce thick skinned, coarse tis-

sued fruit and if no potash is used so
that the tree has to take it's nitrogen
mainly as decomposition products, es-
pecially in soils poor in potash, | would
expect to find very small per centages of
potash in the fruit.
The almost universal experience Of
continued one sided organic nitrogen
fertilization, however, is diseased and in
sect infested trees with diminishing
quantities of or almost unstable fruit.
In the tables of orange analyses, the
Jaffa, navels, Maltese blood, Imperial
Malta and double Imperial were furnish
ed by Rev Lyman Phelps, of Sanford.
The Indian river and foundling Indian
river by Hon. H. S. Williams, of Rock
ledge, and the Columbia county, sour
and bitter sweet should not have been
included in the average as they have
seriously altered the per centages and
the Columbia county orange was thick
peeled, heterogeneous specimen.
Although there is All analysis of soil
furnished by Hon. H. S. Williams, yet
being unacquainted with his system of
fertilzing and cultivating, [ am unable
to comment intelligently on the analy-
ses of his oranges, and before going fur
ther with the table will only say that
the only specimen showing similar per
centages of nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash with the California oranges
is the thick skinned sour orange.
The analysis left therefore ON which
can speak with knowledge are the five
round orange specimens Of Mr.. Phelps.
Now, if any orange grower in Florida
has persistently and continuously follow
ed for series of years theory of fer
tilizing to it's ultimate practical results,
of his experiments made years ago are
found in FOrresters chemical fertilizer,
minimum analysis 4 per cent ammonia,
per cent available phosphoric acid and
II per cent potash. Let us see therefore
how the average ash and nitrogen con
tents of these oranges compare with the
fertilizer that produced them. The to-
tails divided by five give an average of
.O91 per cent nitrogen, O94 per cent
phosphoric acid and .6O4 per cent po
ash of the total weight of the oranges.
Now to put this in similar proportion
to the fertilizer used, | have added 25
per cent to the nitrogen to reduce to
ammonia and multiplied by 2 which gives
ammonia 1927 per cent; phosphoric acid
1.89 per cent, potash 1908 per cent and
considering that Mr.. Phelps mows his
grove in summer, and of one cutting, at
least, saves all the hay he uses, think
we can very we'll account for the where
abouts of the surplus ammonia and
phOsphoric acid, that would 9th rwse
leach nitrates or become insoluble phos-
pilates with clean culture.
The only other questions that arise
in this connection are the results in
