Have you any knowledge whether the planting
of the Wonderful Pea" is beneficial or other
wise in orange grove? II the former. would you
kindly tell me how much SEED to the acre would
be required? SUBSCRIBER.
Quebec, Can.
The Wonderful Pea is very rank
grower and soon covers the ground with
dense foliage which if allowed to de-
cay on the land adds to it's fertility.
We are stoutlv opposed to planting cow
peas of any kind in an orange grove,
much preferring beggar weed. Cow
peas furnish good pasture for myriads of
sucking bugs. AS soon as the pea vines
begin to die in the fall these bugs take
to the orange trees. If the tree has
fruit on they will puncture the fruit and
it will drop off. They will also puncture
the tender shoots and suck the sap.
Raise cow peas but get them away from
the orange trees.

The Sub-Peninsula Protection.


Editor Florida Agriculturist:
In late issue of your paper, stated
that not much damage was done here
by the last freeze, but spoke too quickly,
for time has developed worse condition
of affairs.
Never before, to my knowledge, have
orange trees been injured by cold on this
part of our sub-peninsula and we were
consequently without experience in this
line. At present, however, the line be-
tween the living and the dead branches,
is marked by such a vigorous growth on
the former, that [ think we can now
speak more intelligently on the subject.
The oldest trees have escaped with the
loss of most'of their leaves and some of
the maller,twigs. Budded trees from six
to ten years of age have, as a rule, lost
most of their twigs and in some cases
limbs an inch or more in diameter,
while other similar trees, have retained
most of their twigs and some of their
leaves.
A few of these budded trees and many
seedlings are blooming, but the blossoms
seem to lack vitality, for the fruit soon
follows the petals to the ground. So if
we have any fruit this year it will prob
ably be on the new growth.
Young trees, out one or two years, are
as a rule killed by the first freeze.
Four points have noticed in this con-
nection. First, that while our water
protection, was not so complete as in
former freezes; still it saved our bearing
trees. Second, that individual groves
protected by oak and pine forests, es-
capped better than those not so protected.
Third, that splitting of trunks was con-
fined to those exposed to the suns rays.
And fourth, all things else being the
same, the more fruit tree had on 1t,
the worse it was injured by the cold, and
the same was true of individual limbs.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The committee of seventy met for the first time since the election iu the rooms of the chamber Of commerce this afternoon. It's purpose was to recommend to the legislature for pas- sage the bills drafted by the various sub- committees.

His report was Ia brief resume of the work of the committee on the public hearing and power of removal bills.

LATER DETAILS.

Two masked robbers played a bold game last night and came out sl7 20 ahead.
 They held up Queen and Crescent south bound last mail No. 3, and that Is what they got.
 The exact manner in which they played their game is not know here at present, but the story is about as follows;
 At Livingston, it seems, two men boarded the train and went into the smoker.
 After the conductor had passed them they sneaked out on the platform, fixed masks over their faces and waited for an opportunity to get in the express car. The baggage master came to the door, and as he opened it the robbers covered him with pistols aud made him keep his mouth closed.
 They then covered the express messenger and began their work. The first thing they demanded was the keys to the safe.
 The messenger refused to turn them over until one of them showed gun in his face and compellt him to give them up.
 They then unlocked the safe and went through it, taking all the money packages.
 The robbers then asked the messenger if be had any more money, and when told that they had all the game was called off.
 The bell cord was pulled, aud when about three miles this side of York they leaped from the train and disappeared into the darkness.
 The train came to standstill some dis tance from where the robbers jumped off, and this was the first known of it by Con- ductor c. A. Paul, who was in charge of the train.
 The trainmen decided that they could do nothing, so they pulled out after delay of only four minutes.
 There wasn't a passenger troubled and not single shot fired. They didn't seem to want any of the passengers moneys and took particular pains not to trouble Uncle Sam,s mail car. As soon as the train ar rived at York a telegram was sent to Super intendent A. J. Frazer notifying him of the occurrence.
 Superintendent Frazer, accompanied by Detective Barnes Morgan, left last night on No. for York and will make an effort to catch the robbers.
 From all that could be learned they ara novices, although their game worked to perfection.
 Why they selected No. 3 as a train to hold up is hardly known, for it seldom carries much money, not being a through train.
 EXPRESS AGENT HALEY TALKS.
 Express Agent c. E. Haley was notified of the robbery by telephone from the AaE- HERALD oiiice, but said there couldn t have been much of haul from this city, as
