The Late Storm and One of It's Lessons to Me-


rible storm, among the first thoughts
comes, what might have been done to
avert it or lessen the losses? In the dis
astrous freeze from which we orange
! growers have suffered, the query came at
once, where is the u s. Signal Service,
that we should have this thing come upon
] is without signal of warning? Could
have had forty-eight or even twenty
, four hours warning | could have saved
many hundreds of dollars worth of
oranges. On the days the freeze was
ushered in l was having oranges gathered
from two different groves-my home
\ grove here in the city, the fruit bought
by Alexander & Baird on the tree, and
: twenty acres in the grove known as the
Hull Sixty" fruit bought from part
Of it by RandaZzo Bros t. O. b., both
buyers shipping in bulk. One Car had
been just shipped. by the latter second
Car loaded and third one begun up to
the mig 1t the freeze came; while Alex
ander & Baird had two cars loaded from
my home grove ready to go forward the
same night. This was icing done in the
regular order of shipping without any
antic patton of the disaster imminent.
Had storm signals been displayed could
and should have so increased the force
at this work as to have had at least five
in place of three cars to 90 out on the
night of the freeze. A third grove,
, known as the Flddis grove, could have
placed in Mr. J. A. Baird's hands also,
and with his efficient management,
have no doubt but one. and may be, two
more cars could have been ready to es
cape the freeze. These are things "that
might have been" in my individual eX-
perience in this one storm. How many
more growers about DeLand might have
been similarly benefited do not know;
but it is not presumable that mine is an
isolated case. True, my groves are ad-
vantageously located for rapid shipment
in bulk, as | was selling from the $50,
having a switch on my own ground there,
while the Home Grove" extends to
within few rods of Che Florida Fruit
Exchange switch; and the "tiddls
Grove" just east of "Stetson Hall, is
very near the Boulevard switch. Our
long immunity from disastrous cold had
lulled US into feeling of security. 80
confident were we of safety that | had
( deliberately decided to take my chances
on holding my best erOve-a twenty acre
one known as my Lake Grove, near Mr.
Waits grove, as he had year after year
held his crop for the late market, without
injury, and realized the highest prices,
it seemed might do the same, as my i'm
munity from rost seemed equal to his.
S. Powers, Of Jack sonville, publisher OF
the Florida Fruit Grower, visited many
groves in this vicinity among them this
grove of mine, and in his write up OF
what he saw, says: "The whole grove has
a thrifty color, and there is a large pro-
portion, probably fifty per cent ct the
fruit. which will grade as strictly
fancy 1t is said she never obtained over
2.7OO boxes from the twenty acres, but
this year it looks now as if she would OBJ
tain six thousand to seven thousand
boxes" The estimate of quantity made

saw the Waters Parted as When the
Hebrews Crossed.
From the New York Herald
Maj. Gen. Tulloch has just published in
London report which substantiates the
biblical story that the Jews escaped across
the Red sea dry shod. Maj. Gen. Tulloch
for the last year has been making govern
mental surveys for Great Britain in that
part of Egypt where the Hebrew children
accomplished their famous journey. In his
published statement the major general says
that in the spring of this year he was en-
gagged In surveying the borders of Lake
Menzahleh. on the Red, sea. On one &C.
casion a sudden andrviolent wind storm
arose. the force of which was SO prodigious
as to carry everything before 1t, including
incidentally, the water OF the lake. In a
few hours the wholes body Of water had
been abducted and nought remained save
vessels mud. sand and the major general.
The vessels moored in the lake were
stranded high and dry, with no water in
sight. This is undoubtedly what occurred
In the days of Moses, and gives a new in
terest to that famous history. wherein Is
set forth the triumphant flight of the cap
tives. dry shod, through the way Of the
waters. whose returning flood destroyed
their oppressors. -.l-3
