Another Orange Pest.
6. W. HENDRY.

An Orlando correspondent of the Citi-
zen writes as follows:
Anything which pertains to the pres
ent or prospective condition of the or
ange trees is of interest to the public
Much depends upon the healthfulness
and freedom from insect pests of the
sprouts which have sprung from the
roots of the old trees. If these grow
we'll and meet with no more disasters or
set-backs, it will be but few years be-
fore Florida will occupy her old-time
place as the best orange-producng por-
ton of the world
These young sprouts have thus far
made a most satisfactory growth in
most instances. In some places,
it is true, the old trees seem to have
been killed, root and branch, but
In this region dead roots are the excep-
ton. In nearly all groves the roots have
thrown up strong and healthy sprouts.
These are now from three to nine feet in
height. The foliage thus far seems en-
tirely free from scale, spider, white fly,
and every other insect pest.
Many careful observers are apprehen-
sive, however, of the ravages Of the
little borer that is at work in the dead
wood of the old tree. Where the trees
were cut off at the surface of the ground
these little fellows have found no lodg-

Bill Nye is somewhat of farmer. and
gives his view on the subject IN his own
peculiar style.
This is It,

that he can, securing the capitalist on

timber lands, hereditaments and aprur-
tenances thereonto belonging or any

of which he is lawfully seized, whether
in fee simple, fee tail, in escrow, escheat
or possession, expectation, reversion,

by tenure or at sufferance, by conquest
or grand larceny, a freehold or for life
or during good behavior or by the court

rience amounts to anything whatever.

ment in the grove; but where the old
trees have been left standing they are at
work. Their presence may be detected
by white dust on the trunks and at the
root of the tree. If these little fellows
would conflne themselves to the dead
wood, they could do no harm. Their
work would only hasten the decay of the
dead wood, and make its removal an
easier m after. But many who have OBJ.
served closely declare that this little in
sect is at work in the live wood as we'll,
and that the tender shoots are being
perforated by them. They believe that
If no check is put upon them it will be
but question of time when the young
sprouts will be killed. and with them
will 60 whatever of vitality now remains
in the orange trees. No little apprehen-
sion exists in the minds Of grove owners
as to the result of the work of these
borers. But whatever might be the re-
suit the case is one that demands promp t
attention. No time is to be lost The
application of an Insecticide can do no
harm, and it is being demonstrated by
few who have been first to act, that the
borer can be killed and his ravages
stopped. A preparation which has been
found effective is the following:
Unslacked lime, one peck; flour of
sulphur, two quarts; crude carbolic acid,
one quart; water twenty-five gallons.
This should be thoroughly n liked and |
applied with a spray pump. See that
the dead trunk Of the old tree is thor
oughly wet with the liquid. If it gets
upon the leaves of the young growth, no
harm will be done Those who have |
used this mixture in this way report sat-
isfactory results, and say that the borer
comes to the surface and dies while other
insects give the trees so treat wide
berth.
The young trees set in grove but
year or two, whose trunks were small, |
and the nursery trees, have thus far es-
capped the borer. These have made a
remarkable growth and give great prom

the farmers had to sell; which enables
us to buy our -four, salt and dry goods.
A comfortable living and a contented
life was our object ard we came as near
living up to it as any class Of men on
earth.
How is it today? must repeat the
enquiry. Can it be said that we are as
prosperous and happy as it is our prlvi-
lege and duty to be? Let the facts
answer the query
Having put the raising of vegetables
as money crop to practical test, let
returns answer and determine whether
or not it pays better than to raise the
necessaries of life. Let our experience
serve as dictator and If possible be
governed by it, A small 10 or 20 acre
farm for corn, hay and peas will feed
one or two head of horses year; five
acres more for potatoes, caesava, peanuts,
chufas and garden truck will produce
plenty for an ordinary family.
Almost any farm in Florida should
have 40 acres under fence cleared in or
der to have fruit trees, pasturage, oats,
rye and rice, and one or two men can
keep and cultivate that amount with
perfect ease, with the improved Guilt
vators, harrows and so on.
1t is an easy matter to make com
Portable support in Florida, but there.
as elsewhere, a man sh ould use discretion
in selecting the quality Of land and get
that which is not too poor for anything.
Gould our people only content them
selves with a com Portable living, aban-
don that everlasting graphing after
riches, get down to practical and bust
ness like Iivipg-quit raising stuff to
ship to make money to buy what they
consume at home there would be seen a
change at once for the better.
''Contentment with Goodness is great
GAIN" and contentment is virtue to be
cultivated and exercised, without which,
with or without wealth, life is failure.
The discomfort here referred to is not
confined to Florida; possibly it prevails
to less degree in Florida than in most
Of places but it is enough to require re-
form with the remedy at hand, raise all
at home needed for home use, if sur
plus worth shipping ship it, but for
heavens sake don't depend on it for a
living. Having food and raiment let us
learn Herewith to be content.

nothing more definite is yet known. The
question entirely centers on congress, and
