Our Only Salvation.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
have lately been pursuaded that |
struck the "key note" when I proposed
to the Orlando meeting of the Fruit and
Vegetable Growers, nearly two years ago,
to go to the transportation companies,
with proposition to tote fair to CO.
operate-to give and take-to live and
let live and all that sort Of thing. This
proposition met with some favor but no
action, as it was said under a suspension
Of rules, and besides had no "hatchet
grinders" back of it. | think the pres
ent very opportune time to raise the
question. If the present effort at re-
organization meets with success | have
no idea of any better proposition to 60
to the transportation companies with
than the offer to give them ''all the traffic
will bear" This will be, say from % to
334 per cent. | am certain of the
growers assent to this arrangement at
once, and | am quite certain that trans
portation com panies have reached the
end of that line which breaks the calf's
neck, or makes it necessary to start anew.
What could be more fair than for us to
agree to divide on terms Of equity and
justice-on live and et-live principles.
We can not longer produce crops with
sweat and blood money and trusG to luck
and hap hazard for return. Will you
lay this m after before the transportation
companies and the people for acceptance
or rejection. might argue this case at
great length but presuming on the wis
dom of whom IN talking to | forbear
more than hint. Let the idea loose!

Harris Late Orange To Be Made Oallfor
nio g Eorlu Ro rori,,o


California orange growers, according
to the Riverside Press, propose to spring
a happy surprise upon their Eastern
friends about Thanksgiving time. The
Harris tardiff orange is a very late one
SC late in fact that it may be easily con-
verified into an early one. That is to
say, instead of picking the fruit in July
and August as usual, it is proposed to
let it remain upon the trees until Novem-
Der and December. The remarkable
keeping qualities of that fruit easily
lend themselves to this scheme, as our
Riverside friends believe, and they will
thus be able to put dead ripe, sweet,
Juicy oranges into the holiday markets
of the country in some quantity Cali

Sorrento, Fla.
Fail grown seed can be planted in the
spring but it is not advisable, as they
are not mature enough. Spring grown
potatoes make the best seed for fall
planting. Northern seed for fall plant
ing seldom gives satisfac tion for the
same reason. They are hardly mature
and often rot in the ground before sprout-
ing and frequently take from two to
three weeks to sprout when they do
grow, consequently very uneven stand.
