Editor Florida Agriculturist:

have good many grape fruit stock in grove
they are some 10 or - years old, been planted
where they now are eight years. If left as they
are about when will they bear. or would you bud
same In place of allowing them to grow? I have
been unable to find anyone to answer above
questions. Please answer by mail. Enclosed you
will find postOfice money. order for 81. a years
subscription to AGR1cULrURIsr. Have only re-
turned from the North or would have paid be-
fore. An early reply will obllge. G. Fl. S.
1t is impossible to say when the shoots
the grape fruit trees have put up will
bear. 1t depends upon the vigor of the
roots and the care and attention the trees
will receive. AS to the matter of bud
ding we cannot see the object, unless Of
course the trees were first budded on
sour stock or other variety of the citrus
In this case if the shoots came up from
the roots it would be necessary to rebud
in order to propagate the grape fruit tree.
If on the other hand the trees are seed
lings there would be no object, we think,
in budding the shoots.

Educators Disagree.

From the Galveston Daily News.
The school board of Toronto, Canada, is
in trouble over a bloomer outbreak. One
of its members recently made motion
that the school inspectors be required to
report to the board the names of all the
women teachers who rode bicycles in male
attire, commonly called boomers" He in
sisted that they were immodest and I'M
becoming, and that they furnished bad
example to the young girls who were at
tending the public schools. He also de-
clared that this costume would never be
worn by women generally, because to look
well 1t must be worn by a well-formed
woman, and three-forths of the women
were not well formed and would never
care to wear dress showing that such was
the case These remarks aroused the IL
dignation of a slender woman member
of the board, who is a doctor. She declar-
ed that 1t was for women to decide what
was modest and becoming in the Matter
of dress and what kind was most conducive
to health and comfort. The motion to
keep the women out of mans habilimentai
prerogatives failed. but 1t turned out that
there was city ordinance "forbidding
women to appear in public in the attire Of
men

Col. CarsOn's Views.

p Col. Perry Carson was next introduced.
and he said that everybody who knew him
knew that he was in favor of organization.
He thought that 1t was strange that the
colored people had no tendencies toward
consolidation among themselves. The Kilt
klux gangs IT. the south and the midnight
assassins had not had>the effect OF sohdify-
ing the negroes. He said that the negro
had to organize-had to show his manhood
and womaEhood, else he was in danger of
forever remaining a slave to American
prejudces.
Mr.. Carson was followed by Thomas L.
Jones of the District bar, who urged for
unity among the colored people. He took
occasion to tell why the negro in the Dis
trict had been unable 20 accomplish any
thing thus far. He said that this condition
of affairs was due to the fact that they
did not practice what they preached. He
knew pastors Of colored churches who
would preach all day Sunday about what
the negro should do to help one another,
and yet would come down to the court the
next morning and pass by all of the col
ored lawyers and retain white one.
He said that there was as much dis
elimination against the negro in his own
race as there was in the white race. He
said that even in the public schools there
was discrimination, and that If young
woman who applied for position as teach
err was of dark skin that she stood no
show She had to be white and have
straight hair before she could earn the
pittaEce OF livelihood as a teacner. lie
said that this condition of affairs was pre-
carious and calculated to do the race great
injury Until the negro learns how to re-
spect and do justice to one another, he
could not expect justice from other sources.
In concluding. Mr.. Jones urged union
among bis people, as being calculated to
help solve the negro problem and to lift
his race to a higher plane of intellectual
life He said the negro needed more race
pride and must manifest more loyalty one
TO another. There were other speeches,
after which the meeting was adjourned.

What Was Said at a Meeting Of Oolored

"Organize," "Organize," was the burden
of the speeches delivered last night at the
meeting of colored citizens of the District
of Columbia held in the Vermont Avenue
Baptist Church for the purpose of dis
cussing the Industrial and mercantile status
of the colored people here.
The first move of the Union League was
an attempt to induce the white merchants
here to give employment to the young col
ored people as clerks and statesmen, but,
having failed in this, it is said, the league

that the meeting was held for the purpose
of interesting the coiored people in the

of the city, yet when any young colored

only way that the negro could win success
and respect from the white race. All thas
she asked was the aid and the co-opera-
