Sucar Beet Prnductini

Some Europeans are said to be alarmed ut
the prospect that the United States, the great
est sugar country in the world, and always re-
lied upon to absorb the surplus European
product will at no distant date produce all of
it's own sugar" Frank Mason United States
Consul General at Frankfort, Germany, has
submitted to the State Department special
report on American competition in suga pro-
ducton, which is full OF interesting statistics
on the subject Among other things he shows
that the crop OF beet-root sugar last year ex =
ceeded by 10000 tons the products OF the
preceding year "The production OF cane su-
gar has doubled In the past twenty years,
while that of beet ugar has trebled Careful
examination OF the possibilities OF beet sugar
made by European correspon dents, who show
that certain districts, notably Cali fornia, and
some of the IN ire southern and western states
Will enjoy decided advantages over all the
beet producing countries of Europe. Four ele-
ments enter into the patition-cimat
cost and fertility of land, cost of labor and the
effective economy of the machinery and meth
ods OF cultivation and sugar manufacture. In
all but one-cost of labor-the United States
has the advantage. An English CORES pond
many Notwithstanding the cheapness of labor,
costs on an average 500 per acre, in California,
in spite OF high wages, the net cost does not
exceed Sl7 per acre, difference OF $33 per
acre in favor of the Pacific Coast. Land is also
cheaper, and the California farmer works a
rich virgin soil, while his German rival is re
stricted to old worn-Out land, which must be
sustained by the constant use OF fertilizers.
These facts have, as Mr. Mason shows awak-
ened apprehension among European econo-
mists and sugar producers, and have greatly
depressed the movement in England to plant
beets instead OF wheat. at."-Bradstreet.

SIeighng in the Semi-Tropics "A Negro Frozen
to Death
The winter of 1s94-95 will pass into history
as a record breaker in the matter of Florida
weather, says the Jacksonville Citizen of Feb
ruary i6. The lowest previous temperature
known has been lowered twice, and last even
ing about 6 O'Clock snow fell in Jacksonville.
1t did not whiten the ground nor give the boys
a chance to build snow forts, but it was real
snow, and for i've minutes or more it came
sitting down through the frosty air and made
the Oldest citizens think they must be dream
ing. 1t has happened once before. since the
weather bureau was es .ablished here, in Janu-
ary, 1893.
The temperature for the "a hours ending at
0 O'Clock last night ranged from 25 to AZ above
zero At dark it was cold-the kind of cold
that makes man wish that he could spend
the evening at home by the fire.
At Gainesville on the 18th. colored man
was found in an unconscious condition by
train crew. The negro was lying near Dr.
Montgomery's packing house, nearly frozen to
death He could not move muscle and had
to be carried to The car. He was taken to his
home, three miles north, and medical atten-
tion summoned,
The unfortunate negro went to Micanopy on
Tuesday afternoon and commenced the return
trip about 8 O'Clock at night, and had walked
up the railroad track about five miles when, 1t
is supposed, he became numb and decided to
remain for few minutes by the side of the
packing house, where he could be sheltered
cold penetrated his entire body. Shortly after
he was taken home he died. This is the first
instance OF the kind ever known in Alachua

The corn market was rather easy at the start

100000 bushels on the correspond ing day OF

local scalpers when wheat made its temporary

Monday were too heavy for any hope of imme-

%SSS
Shipping oranges to Florida may seem ike
carrying Goals to Newcastle, but that is what
California is doing al present. An order from
ST. Augustine for a carload was received at
Fruit Exchange headquarters yesterday and
will be filled promptly This is the first car
load OF oranges ever shipped from California
to Florida, but it is anticipated that it will not
be tn last
The Florldians have the orange-eating habit,
and as they have no more fruit OF their own,
they must send to California for their supplies.
Once getting taste of the luscious California
navels, they will want more OF them. A gen.
tleman familiar with the situation in Florida
says it will be five years before that state will
have a crop that amounts to anything, and
ten years before the orchards win be capable
OF producing as much as before this winters
disastrous frosts.
The close of the week finds the orange ship
pers more overwhelm with orders than at
any previous time this season. The secretary
OF the Semi.Tropic Exchange reports that it
will take him at least ten days to fill all the Or
ders now on file. The other exchanges are
equally busy. General Secretary Kimball OF
the exc langes who has been working like
Trojan to keep the machinery of the exchanges
going without employing extra help. has par
TALLY collapsed under the strain, and been
compelled to take few days off for much
needed rest. w. E. Collins OF Ontario has been
filling Mr.. Kimballs place since Friday.

BILE CONNIE t. 1t was written by T. H. B.
Chamblin of Riverside, W. E. Collins of Onta
rio and C. E. Kimbell, who constitute the
press committee OF the exchanges. The article
in question is by tar the best statement of the
aims and workings of the exchanges that has
yet appeared, and should De given tbe widest
possible circulation.
Conditions continue to be most favorable for
the marketing of the entire orange GRO p at the
best prices ever realized, and tue orange grow
ers are correspondingly elated.

We believe good stocks are q pu rchase arou nd

OF business, indications of which we see on ev-
cry hand, a positive improvement must soon
take place. Northwestern and the grangers
have been the principal recipients of the bear

view OF the unfavorable weather and light
traffic it is surpri ing that quotations have not
suffered more. Bearish conditions make bull
opportunities. and when prices are lowest is
the proper time to invest One should no wait
for the advance to commence, as it will then
be too late to get in ut the bottom. Chicago
