The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-10-23

Polk, Lake and HillSbOro counties. The
| object of my visit has been to examine
into the present condition of the groves
la which our company is interested and
to decide whether 1t was worth while to
continue to cultivate them, and if so,
what was needed to be done this fall to
start the trees on the road to recovery,
what groves were worth cultivating and
what locations were the most favorable
for the growth of the orange, and any
other Information | could obtain as to
orange culture and the best way Of treat
ing orange trees that had suffered from
the freeze. | nave examined at least
fifty groves in which our company is in
terested, and many others, with view
of obtaining all the information possible.
The conclusions have come to may be
of value to Others as we'll as to ourselves,
| though do not claim to be able to give
advice and | am only acting upon what
have com menced work on groves in all
the counties named, with view of re-
building them as soon as possible To
this end we have them hoed out, the
lower limbs cut off and the roots care
fully examined for VOID lice, all dead
wood and bark removed and apply lime
and sulphur to drive the lice away; also
have the groves plowed out, to turn
under the grass and weeds. Where the
young shoots are strong enough we are
putting in buds.
In many groves that have been worked
during the season fine buds have been
put in that have made d good growth
All are budded near the ground, 50 that
in case of freeze the coming winter
they can easily be protected. In all the
groves | have mentioned find hut q
small percent of dead trees, as upon ex-
animation, live wood is found almost in
variably below the surface Of the ground.
[ see no reason for our citizens to be dis
couraged as to the growth Of oranges
The freeze has been sad blow, but the
groves can soon be brought back into
bearing if our people will only act
promptly. Where whole grove cannot
be cared for, the owner should cut down
the area to what he can care for in good
shape. One tree, we'll cared for, is bet
ter than five half worked There are
many points that it seems to me it would
be we'll for our State authorities to look
into in connection with the freeze and
it's results. The many thousand people
engaged in the orange industry, and the
vast amt unit of money invested surely
deserves to be protected from such dis
asters if it is in the power of man to do
it, and even if only apartial protection
or help can be had, it would be of great
value, not only at present, but in view
of like troubles in the future.
In my trip about the State have been
brought in contact with some of the best
growers, and find much difference of
opinion as to what is best to be done
with frozen orange trees. Whether to
leave them alone, as many have done,or
to cut them down and cultivate as many
others have done. My own observation
leads me to think that to cut and Guilt
vate is the best. In the cases where the
trees were not at once'killed to the ground,

KIM.
But the above is somewhat of di-
gression and to return to it will say, that
what seems to be needed is a national or
ganization, sort Of parent society with
it's m membership drawn from as many
states and territories as possible, and all
of it's members havinga special direct
or indirect interest in private dairying.
Then let the national or parent organ
ization charter state societies. Let the
latter organize county societies. And
finally let all work together for the IN
terest of private dairying.
OF course the above is but an outline
and before any plan could be perfected
all the details would need to be thought
out and carefully worked up into a
practical system.
Just think what means of good such
system properly managed and worked
would become. National, state and
county meetings, for the discussion OF
dairy and kindred topics, would be
among the possibilities Through such
meetings and by other means great
amount of information relating to dairy.
ing could be disseminated. Not only
information relating to means and meth
DDS but to markets and other matters of
interest to farmers as well.
At the present time some commission
men refuse private dairy products and
others do not encourage the consignment
of them. This, they say, is because the
creamery men do not want them to
handle private dairy products.
What is needed, is for the state asso
Citations. when organized, to arrange
with one good commission man in each
of the large cities in each state, to re-
of the organization.
All members engaged in butter max
ing should be educated up to and re-
quiled to make good article, put it up
in attractive packages or form and then
stamp it with registered trade mark of
the organization.
There will always be many kinds OF
information that can be given to the
mem bers that will be of value to the n.
To illustrate Suppose such system had
been in operation the past ten years,
during which time hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been swindled out
of the farmers of this country by ''cream
yer sharks" then such swindling would
have been prevented. For as soon as the
creamery sharks had began getting in
their work the fact would have been re-
ported to the national organization and
by it to the state societies and by them
to the county societies.
With such system we'll sustained and
managed great good could be accom-
plished in many ways. Of course but
few of the many good uses to which it
could be put have been mentioned, but
it's opportunities would be great at the
start and constantly increasing
The writer would be pleased to see ex-
presslons of thought on the above subject
in the agricultural and dairy papers not
only from editors but farmers and others
interested. He would also be glad to
receive com unications direct from any

THE OTHER Ok GoRRD.-Some of
the attorneys who helped in the at
tempt to "do up" another attorney
at the so-called bar meeting held .
couple Of weeks ago, are not smiling
as much as they did. A Justice Of
the Peace was to be appointed by the
County Commissioners. Three OF the
first above mentioned attorneys were
applicants for the position, and some
of their friends had the gall to ask the
support of the County Attorney. The
latter replied that if any friend of bis.
who was competent, wanted the posi-
ton he would support him, as lie al
ways stood by his friends. A friend OF
his did apply. The commissioners re.
ferred the matter to the County At
torney for his opinion. The latter
recommended his friend, and the Com.
missioners appointed him. The other
three attorneys and some OF their "in
touch" friends, whose mouths were
watering for official pie, think the
matter far less funny than they
thought the bar meeting was. 10y
atty to friends is virtue in politics as
well as in other matters. 1t, with
ability and fairness, has made Judge
Root what he is-one Of the ablest and
most influential political leaders in
the county. ..... .. ..... ....

than, The Merchant Of Venice"
in which Mr.. keene will interpret
the character oil Shylock, who lends ten

TRAITORS To THEIR PARTY.-The
adage otis long lane that has no
turn" is commended to the three
members of the Legislature, who,
elected as Democrats, deserted their
colors while under fire OF the enemy,
and are serving terms to which they
have no moral right. Senator Hutch
inson's attempted justification, is that
he had been 81 Democrat 81 years, be-
lieving in free trade" and he bases his
apostacy on the allegation that Soon
as the Democrats got into power they
put potatoes, barley and other pro-
ducts on the free list and protected
everything they have to buy" If Mr..
II. has been free-trader, he has not
been a true Democrat, and it is diff
cult to see how he can expect to ad-
vance his free trade principles by ad-
vocacy of creed in direct opposition
to it. It is safe to conclude that it
was the smell of the Hesh-pots that
has attracted these party vultures and
not professed devotion to principle,
which is simply paradoxical. These
gentlemen, if they live long enough,
will find themselves as "dead ducks"
as Judas or Benedict Arnold. The
only honest course they could have
pursued would have been a resignation
OF their respective trusts 70 the con-
stituency which conferred them.
They now stand in the category OF re-
cipients of stolen goods. ..-

of $4,000 to secure his election. L
this is true, there is very little evidence
that it has been tapped yet, but thi:
delay may be caused by the natural
trepidation felt by being confronted
by the" bar'l" that is said to be in re-

A,BlG strike was inaugurated by the
employees of the electric car lines of
Brooklyn, Monday. Between 1000
and 5000 men are out. The griev-
ances are based upon violation of
the State law provision that a days
labor on street cars shall be 10 hours
within II consecutive hours. The
companies compel them to work II
hours and even II hours, with no inter.
val longer than 10 minutes for lunch.
The rate agreed upon o year ago was
- for statutory days labor. The
companies make no allowance for over
time. The strikers demand 1926 for

A LAW UNTO THEMsELvEs.-Not-

our State Constitution prohibits the
acceptance of railroad passes by mem
bers of the Legislature, and declares
that" The Legislature shall pass laws
to carry this provision into effect"
it IL openly charged by a Tacoma
paper that the present Legislature is
regularly equipped with this unlawful
perquisite. The fact also stares us in
the face that three Republican Legis-
latures have failed to provide the
legislation which their sworn duty OF
support Of the Constitution enjoins.
