The Morning News correspondent at St.
! Augustine writes as follows: The orange
| and vegetable growers of middle and west
| Florida are realizing that TO successfully
| grow citrus fruits and early vegetables
| they must go south of line drawn from
| Ft Pierce on the east TO Tampa on the
west. James Il. Ingraham, the land com
| missioner of the Jacksonville, St. Angus
tine and Indian River railway, is issuing
! half rate tickets for persons, household
effects and farming implements to an
| average OF four families week who are
| moving into the Lake Worth and Bis
! cayne neighborhoods. Located near the
] head Of the Hillsborough river is colony
| of Gambler (Florida) farmers selecting
| canal and railroad lands.
! Jacksonville Times-Union: A few weeks
| ago railroad men of Jacksonville predict
! ed that the Adams Express Company
/ would become competitor of the South
/ ern Express Company within two years.
! They have changed their minds as TO the
| time, and now make confident predictions
/ that Mr.. Plant viii have competitor
| within a very few months-by January,
| at least, perhaps In less time than that.
/ All that the Adams Express people are
| waiting on, the railroaders say, is the re-
\ organization of the Central and the trans
! fer of formal control from present hands
\ into those or the Southern. The cOnnec-
/ ton around Washington, the stumbling
| block of the past, has been arranged. 1t
! is not as good a connection as the one
| proposed for the future but it is said that
! 1t will do the business in the way OF sup
1 plying the missing link This connection
| is by ferry across the Potomac at Alex
| andria Va, to the terminal on the other
/ side of the Baltimore and Ohio railway.
Jacksonville Citizen: The prospects are
! that the Florida pineapple crop this season
\ will not be more than 5000 crates. This is
! the estimate made by Maj Turner, secre-
| tary of the Florida Fruit Exchange, at
! Jacksonville. Pineapples from the Indian
| river section have been coming into mar
/ 1et for several weeks now, but they are
| very scarce and do not come in by the
train load as they did last season. The
/ crop of 1894 amounted TO something like
/ $1,000 crates. The small crop this year
/ shows the effects of the freeze of last win
! ter. 1t is predicted, however that next
\ years crop will be much larger, and that
/ II will be fully half of that of 1894 pro-
| vided there are no serious frosts in the
/ meantime Maj. Turner was asked in re-
/ gard to the orange crop, and he gave II as
1. his opinion that the crop would be much
/ larger than most people imagined
] although, he said, IL would be very scat
! tering He estimated the crop at 100 900
/ boxes. Most of the fruit win come from
! the Manatee river section, in the southern
