BELOW THE FROST LINE.

Last week our narrative had Just
brought US through Messrs. Reasoner
Bros. nurseries, where all kinds of trop-
ical and semi-tropical plants that were
suitable for decoration or fruit bearing
could be seen. There was little let-up
IN the rain and Mr.. Reasoner very kindly
offered to take us to Manatee Here
we met Mr.. A. H. Brown, formerly of
Belleview, but now interested in the
Foster groves short distance out of
town. Mr.. Brown had come to the con-
clusion that orange growing at Belle
view was little too risky and having
sought less severe place became inter-
ested in the Foster groves. These
groves are of different size and scattered
through a lot of hammock, over 500
acres of which are under fence, The

CORNER ON ORANGES.

The orange growers Of Florida as long
as they were in business, made many
abortive efforts at organization and CO.
operation. We say abortlve because the
growers soon tired of their organizations
and left them, and they failed for that
reason. In some cases. where the asso-
Citations were founded on business prin-
cip.es and had solid, wide-awake bust
ness men at the head, we believe they
woulu eventually have achieved success
had not the members tired so soon. No
business can be built up in season.
Any successful business man, or any
firm that has achieved any degree of sue
cess, will tell us that the first few years
they were in business the profits were
smaller and the times harder than dur
ing any subsequent period. Our growers,
banding together for a stated purpose,
when they failed to see the realization
OF that purpose after the first year or so,
did not have the patience and persever-
ance to stick at it until the business had
established itself on profitable founda-
ton.
We believe they will profit by the ex-
perience of the past years, and when the
groves again commence to bear, we con-
hdently expect 60 see an organization
that will control and market the entire
orange product of the State; if not all,
at least enough to place the organization
in position to dictate terms and prices.
The form alton of such a company will
be easier with a smaller yield, as the
number of shareholders In the trust or
organization will not be so numerous;
and besides this, we think that the class
of people who will remake their groves

lar argument of the demagogue and
some of our would-be statesmen. They
endeavor to ride into office on an anti
corporation hobby, and, we are sorry to
say, they have succeeded. But their ar
guments are largely fallacious. TITS
true millions of acres have been decided
to transportation companies, but if they
had not been they would still have
been the property of the State and earn.
ing no revenue. AS 1t is, as soon as the
deeds were given to the transportation
companies, the land became productive
of revenue in the form of taxes, which
is annually collected, and without which
our burden of taxation would be very
largely increased. AS to the matter of
the homeless people" those who have
been deprived of lands and homes by
reason of these land grants, this is an
other specious argument of the pollti-
clan. While this land is now the prop
erty of corporations instead of the COM
monwealth, the man who seeks a home
and soil to till can get it as cheaply from
these corporations as he ever could from
the State, and on much better terms.
The railroads will sell lands 20 actual
settlers who will in time become pro-
ducers and patrons, at price within
the reach of any enterprislng man, and
on long time. Of course the corpora
tions have good reasons for this. The
lands when disposed of to actual settlers
will become productive and the railroads
will make a profit by transporting to
the markets their produce. tbs is one
way of encc uraging production and de-
velopment, and we admit that it is a
good one and has many excellent fea-
lures, but at the same time we do not
think it is enough, in view of the exist
ing conditions. The railroads, in addi-
ton to selling land to actual settlers at
a low price and on long time, must guar
antee to the settler that after his crops
are grown they will be taken to market
at price that will allow them margin
of profit.

off. The trees have started out from
the trunk and large limbs nicely, and
have a good many oranges scattered
tbrou gh the grove. By a good many we
do not mean hundred thousand boxes,
but possibly hundred. The thing that
was troubling Mr.. Brown, however, was
the presence of the white flies which
were getting in their work in good shape
On examining the leaves under glass,
we found the under side covered with
eggs, many of which we're just hatch
ing. 1t is very serious matter, but
Mr.. Brown is going to do his best with
insecticides to eradicate them. AS Mr..
Brown is an indefatigable worker, we
hope to hear of his complete success.
Mr.. Foster has very pleasant home,
and the land is very good. There are
numerous drives through the hammock,
which add charm to the whole that is
very pleasing and the creek that runs
through the land has rocky bed, so
that in wet seasons the murmur of the
brook can be heard some distance.
Right at Manatee the cold did not
seem to hurt the trees, and those that
were and are cared for are looking fine.
1t seems to us that some of the peo-
pile there really do not realize the condi-
ton of the orange business in the other
portions of the State, or they would not
let groves go neglected and poorly cared
for that could be made nice property at
small expense.
Col. Adams has very pretty location
and his house, which is made of con-
crete, has the appearance from the river
of an Irish castle. Besides keeping a
large general merchandise stock, he
raises horses and cattle and says he is
making it pay, as he has good pasturage
for both mules and cattle. He has the
simplest method of irrigation that we
have seen anywhere. He has large
artesian we'll which gives about twenty
one pounds pressure at the surface.
Pipes are laid where wanted and it is
ready to be turned on at any time.
We found Editor Wilson, of the Advo-
cate, amid bower of orange trees load
ed with fruit. We don't wonder that
he can talk so we'll about Manatee and
her possibilities.
The rain drove us to the shelter of a
residence and We found that we were at
the home of Rev. Mr.. Yates, one of the
old-time subscribers of The AGRICUL-
TURIsT. He was considerably exercised
over the white fly and claimed that he
would rather have had cold spell than
the fly. The people there ought to have
more concert of action and stamp the fly
out if possible.
One of the prettiest sights in Braiden-
town is the lawn of Mr.. Fuller, one of
the leading merchants. St. Augustine
grass is used and 1t grows we'll, even in
the most shade. 1t is but very little
trouble to keep in shape and is such a
thing of beauty that all ought to have
one.
Owing to it's being late in the week we
decided TO return to the Office and on
Monday start for Lee county and a trip
into the Big Cypress swamp, where the
wild orange groves are found. If we get
