A RAGGAGE CHECK.

GA Baggage Check is just what we
wanted" is the exclamation of the
public after seeing a performance OF
this really amusing comedy. Mr..
Blaney said when he wrote it, it was
the best of them all, and so it has
proven itself. The idea of giving the
people what they want is the secret of
Mr.. Blaney's success as a writer OF
farce comedies. With an up-to-date
idea for the vehicle in which to intro
duce the players. a number of real
pretty girls who can all do something
and who are given that something to
do. Several clever comedians who can
play the parts assigned to them and do
specialties in keeping with these parts,
pretty costumes. scenery coupled with
big special acts are what draw the
people TO see a farce comedy. Grand,
commencing tonight.

DIG YOUR IRISH POTATOES.

AS a great many have planted Irish
potatoes this spring that never planted
here before, we would call their atten-
ton to the fact that if not dug soon the
tubers will soon commence to grow and
consequently be spoiled. The potatoes
should be dug and put in cool dry place
and spread out thinly. A good place is
under the house where perfectly dry, and
cover with dry sand. In this way the
potatoes can be kept till fall when they
are much better for planting than any
that Can be had from the North as thew
are fully matured and will start to grow
as soon as planted without any loss from
rot. The Northern potato having just
been dug is not ''cured'' enough so that
when planted large proportion rot and
those that do grow are from a week to
two months coming up Save all the
seed potatoes you need for fall planting
from the crop you are harvesting now.
Irish potatoes planted now will grow
and make large vines and little tubers.
These tubers before they are large
enough to eat will commence to grow
and thus make it impossible for the
planter to get any returns fer his labor.

The Florida State Horticultural So
ciety convened in annual session in the
Board of Trade Rooms in Jacksonville
last Tuesday. Considering the unfav-
orable conditions and the depressed con-
ditions existing the attendance was
large.
Reports from the several committees
were read as follows:
Joint session of the Florida and Texas
State Horticultural Societies.
To prevent the introduction of in
sect pests.
Challenging of Florida fruits.
Citrus fruits, pears and apples; figs,
ornamental plants; native fruits; tropl-
Cal fruits.
These reports and papers will all be
published in book form by the society.
There was considerable discussion on
the Importance of the proposed legisla-
ton in reference to insect pests. The
bill recently introduced in the lower
house of the legislature was read by
sections and discussed. Several pro-
visions of the bill were opposed, espec.
tally those in regard to the county com.
missioners of he respective counties ap-
pointing county inspectors. A resolution
was adopted to the effect that the forma-
ton of county boards is unnecessary and
expensive, and that the state board of
horticulture be empowered to employ

PRECEDENT ADAMS ADDRESS.

AS customary we reproduce in an
other column President Adams annual
address to the Florida State Horticul-
tural Society.
Mr.. Adams wants to know where he
is at? That seems the all important
question with him. We cannot give
the answer, but the chances are that
he is at the same station with thousands
of other orange growers who turned up
their aesthetic noses at Mr.. Silver's lit
tie hundred pound pig, and, with Mr..
Adams, believed that instead of putting
their eggs in different baskets it was bet
ter to have them all in one basket and
watch that basket.
Orange culture may have been the
means of developing South Florida. 1t
may have attracted thousands of people
'lere-we do not deny it, but at the same
time we claim now as we have always
claimed that it is suicidal, risky and in
imical to the permanent prosperity of
the country to devote exclusive atten-
ton to one crop-and that crop purely
money or market crop.
Thirty years ago the Southern planter
perhaps thought 1t best to give cotton
culture his deepest study" his ''un-
firing, uncomfortable energies" and buy
his corn and pork from the yanks. Five
cent cotton resulted and he, like Mr..
Adams and other one crop men, is ask
ing, "Where am | at?''
We candldly think they are both in a
very bad place. The February freeze
only hurried them on bit 1--WE mean the
orange grower now, but freeze or no
freeze, the ultimate result would have
been anything but satisfactory
Horticulture may or may not be the
tail of an agricultural kite, but in any
event tail is very essential part of a
kite; without it the kite would be useless.
1t IS true that liz Mr.. Adams address
he only questions, but these questions
are put in a manner to discourage the
diversiier-the man who thinks it ad-
visable to divide his deepest study, his
untiring, unconquerable energies" be-
tween an orange grove and sundry food

The Spanish moss, so familiar sight
in the southern seaboard states, is, according to
Meehan's Monthly, closely related to the pine
apple family. 1t is in a measure indestructible,
and for this reason ia largely employed in
stu fling mattresses, and is used in many other
economical pursuits. 1t is said that last year
$4,000 bales worth at least 100000, were shipped
from Florida alone

crops, which in case the one fails or is
frozen, he may not have to inquire so
pathetically, "Where am at"
We think that at this time it is unfor-
tunate when those who have labored for
years in making an orange grove, will
road. should be discouraged in their
resolution to diversity" even by insin-
uation. Even fifteen bushels of corn to
the acre and two acres planted in cane
each year is better than no corn at all,
and no syrup and frozen and dead Or
ange grove at the end of decade. A
few of Mr.. Silver's hundred pound pigs
and Mr.. NJ aster's $685. COWS would be
better than no orange crop with trust
beefsteak at twenty-five cents per pound.
We all know that there are better
farming sections elsewhere than can be
found in South Florida, but here is Of
fered an opportunity for the farmer to
grow his food crops and at the same
time make his orange grove. We have
never recommended that the grove be
neglected and that the growers entire
attention be turned to other crops, but
we say, as we have said for years, that
it is folly to neglect all other crops for
the orange grove, and recent events
prove that we were and are right.
What class Of people in the State of
Florida are the best off today? Is it the
man who had ''broad acres" of orange
groves or pineapples with nothing else
to depend on, or the grower who has In
addition to his grove his cane and potato
patch, his field Of corn, rice and oats, his
garden and other sources from which to
draw sustenance for his family and
stock without drawing on his pocket
book or bank account? The former is
inquiring "Where am | at?" and the
other saws Il have lost my income, but
not my livelihood"
That orange growing is extra hazar-
ter there is danger of loss or failure IN
nearly everything else, but this will not
and should not deter the people from
engaging in the business. Those who
have the ''nerve" to do it-and Florid-
ians are the bravest people on earth
will ultimately be crowned with success,
providing, of course, they diversity their
crops judiciously.

reputation. True merit is bound to win. Even

doubt about it's superiority. 1t is perfection in

and around the armholes. Velvet Of a
darker gray gives the standing collar
and belt.
The last fur-trimmed miss to be
sketched goes In for more of the costly
fluff than did her predecessor at the
artists posing platform, and she uses
rich velvet applique with 1t, putting
both on a dress that combines sea-
green velvet and white cloth. The
skirts front breadth is of the latter,
the rest being Of velvet. A short fur
edged basque Is added to the fitted
bodice, which also has white cloth
vest and yoke, the latter covered with
velvet appliques to harmonic with the
skirt. The sleeves are of the big-puff-
tight-cuff sort that is now so common
as to outnumber all the other varieties.
But there is again something new In
sleeves, as there is bound to be when
one style seems to be having its own
way, for that indicates that the time is
ripe for change. The new sort Is Of
the draped variety and stands straight
out from the armhole in a series Of
pockets, the edges of which lie close to-
gether, making straight line. These
pockets fall about by their own weight
and make an excellent appearance. II
the usual big sleeve were so manipu-
lated after 1t was made that portions
of its fullness were tucked down at
intervals to make pocket-like folds,
this effect would be attained. A while
ago sleeves stood up in series Of peak
ed folds around the armholes, and IL
these peaked folds were turned right
side in or tucked down upon them
selves, they would resemble the new
shape.
Bodices Of silk, striped in black and
white and Of the stand-alone quality,
are still worn and they have enormous
sleeves and fronts drawn in folds to
the high collars of folded cerise velvec.
The skirt Is black and the touch of
