not directly interested in the business
of handling oranges know that the
Florida and California crops mature
at different periods, SO as not to inter-
fere with each other in the market, but
such is the case. The picking of the
Florida crop ordinarily begins in De-
cember, and had it not been for the dis
astrous cold weather of this season
would now be at its height, and Florida
oranges would have been plentiful and
cheap in the northern markets during
February and March. As it is, they are
scarce aud dear, and also of poor quail
ity. The picking Of the California crop,
however, begins before Feb. 1, lasting
until about the middle of May. Cali
fornia oranges always bring better prices
than the Florida fruit, and it is held by
the slope growers that this is because
the demand for fresh fruit acids by the
human system is more exacting in the
spring than during the winter. Acting
on this theory, only few in California
have cultivated the earlier ripening va
rieties which grow quite as well there
as in Florida.
Orange picking time, both in Cali
fornia and Florida, is a good deal like
hop picking time in hop regions, bean
pulling time where beans are raised,
and the cranberry season on the bogs of
Cape Cod and New Jersey. It is signal
lied by the advent of large floating
population. In southern California there
are many Mexicans and some Chinese
among the pickers. Orange picking
in Florida is largely in the hands Of the
negroes as a matter of course, and the
season in both regions is one of general
hilarity and unmitigated hustle
Oranges are not picked in few days
or weeks, as apples are, because they do
not ripen simultaneously, as does the
fruit with which the serpent tempted
Eve. Not only do the oranges in given
orchard ripen at different periods, but
those upon a single tree may mature
months apart. In fact, you may often
see white blossoms, green fruit and
fully ripened golden spheres hanging to-
gether upon the same tree. Orange pick
ers work i'll gangs under overseers.
When it is time to begin picking in any
given grove, a gang takes possession
until all the mature fruit has been gath
cred To each tree the overseer assigns
certain men, and they are held strictly
responsible for the fruit upon that tree,
both as to quantity and quality. In
most cases each man carries bag sus-
pended from his neck in front, and in
his hand pair of clippers. With the
latter he carefully cuts the stems, for if
the oranges are picked the skin is apt
to be slightly wounded, and this means
certain decay.
Orange piolzers who use the bag also
use long stepladders, but in some

Youthful Curiosity.

A good story concerning James Russell
Lowell, which has never seen the light of
print, comes to u.s. Professor Royce Of
Harvard college has son, Theodore, who
has all tho hall marks of genius. Theo-
dore is not yet old enough to have made
known whether he will be a genius or not,
but the peculiarities of that tribe are his.
One day the boy, who was then about g
years old, was watering the lawn in front
of his father'a house in Cambridge just as
James Russell Lowell happened to pass by
on his way to Professor Norton g, little
farther along. The boy turned the hose
on Mr.. Lowell. and despite his expostula-
lions drenched him from head to foot, so
that he had to go to Professor James
house near by and get an entire change of
clothing. When Professor Royce heard
of this, he was naturally very indignant
and took Theodore severely to task. Il
don't see how you could have done it,
Theodore. What reason was there in do
ing such thing as that?'' he said.
Theodore looked gravely at his father
and said: There was every reason in the
world. 1 was extremely DESTROYS of know
ing how poet would behave under such
circumstances. "--New York Commercial

been supplanted by patented contriv-
ance consisting of a knife on long
pole to which is attached canvas tube
or chute. With the knife the picker
carefully sewers the stem, and the orange
drops into the tube, through which it is
conveyed to box upon the ground. In
order to prevent a too swift descent,
which would render the fruit liable to
bruises, the tube is furnished with Sc
ries of traps at intervals of few inches.
These traps open at slight pressure, and
the orange finally lands in the box I'M
marred and perfect.
After the picking comes the washing
or scrubbing. In California this is usu-
ally done by Cinnamon. After the
sorubber has cleaned off the black stain
or rust and polished the fruit with a
cloth he passes the yellow sphere to the
sorter who gathers all the oranges of
the same size together. Sometimes he
does this with simple mechanical con-
trivance consisting of runways. After
the sorting each orange is wrapped in
paper and boxed for shipment.
Great ingenuity has been exercised by
California orange growers in the de-
vising of schemes preventing damage by
cold weather. One of these is the start
ing of bonfres whenever the mercury
sinks unduly. Another consists of a net
work of water pipes running through
the grove, which, when the water is
turned on, will project into the air in
Vulnerable fine sprays, thus producing
an artificial fog. Still another plan is
the laying of pipes, from which stand
pipes arise at intervals of, say, so feet.
The whole system of pipes is filed with
crude petroleum, and in marvelously
short time blaze of burning oil can be
started from the top of each of the
standpipes
Those who have never seen an orange
grove are prone to think Of it as grassy
expanse, dotted with the fruit trees, I'M
der the shade of which one may recline
upon the emerald turf and dream away
the happy hours if SO inclined. As a
matter of fact, a we'll cared for orange
grove is devoid of grass, for the soil
should be kept constantly cultivated,
and besides many California orange
groves are SO thoroughly irrigated that
the soil under the trees is always damp,
not to say muddy.
Those who have been lucky in Cali.
fornia orange growing have made for
tunes, but those who have been unlucky
are quite as numerous as the fortunate
ones. SAM P. CERTEz.
