Senator Pettigrew has had consider

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Governor Sheldon has appointed and
the senate has confirmed the following
gentlemen as members Of the board Of
regents of educational institutions:
Nelson w. Eggleston, OF Brule county,
W. S. Peterson Of Pennington county,
l.. L. Boucher of Mcpherson county, to
hold until March, 1900; w. H. Jordan Of
Minnehaha county 10 hold until March
1896; Frank d. Adams Of Brown county
and q. J. Collier of Brookings county, to
hold until March, 1898. Also, f. +.
Clough OF Lawrence county to be COM
missioner OF the soldiers home until
April, 1901.
The appropriations OF 10000 acres of
land each for the Kedtield hospital for
the insane and the Springfield normal
school which were buried by an adverse
vote have been dug up and passed and
now these institutions are prospectively
booming.
A resolution introduced into the SEN
ate to investigate certain charges against
members Of the supreme court by one
Lane of Redtield, created a heated dis
pute, but as it was generally believed
that no foundation existed for the
charges the debate finally resulted in
expunging all reference to it from the
record.
The senate also passed bills appropri-
ating money to bury deceased soldiers
and sailors; authorizing the commission
or Ut school and public lands to appoint
a deputy; amending the laws relative to
tax certificates, and requiring the re-
deemer of tax certificates also to redeem
mortgages when on school lands; giving

poses a lien upon the crops and land:

Kingsbury's scheme to investigate the

been supplanted by a patented oontEiv-
ance consisting Of a knife on a long
pole to which is attached q oanvask 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 a box upon the ground. In
order to prevent q too swift descent,
which would render the fruit liable to
bruises, the tube is furnished with y Sc
ries of traps at intervals of a 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
scrubber has cleaned off the black stain
or rust and polished the fruit with q
cloth he passes the y,'low sphere to the
sorter who gathers all the oranges Of
the same size together. Sometimes he
does this with a simple mechanical con-
t~rivance 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 bonfires whenever the mercury
sinks unduly. Another consists of q net
work of water pipes running through
the grove, which, when the water is
turned on, will project into the air in
nypv,nvohlo Gnn crrovS Tins ~roJrnsnr
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 q ~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 q grassy
expanse, dotted with the fruit trees, un-
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 well 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.
Thoseewho have been lucky in Cal;
fornia orange growing have made for
tunes, but those who have been unlucky
are quite as numerous as the fortunate
ones. SAN p. CERTEz.

not directly interested In the business
Of handling oranges know that the
Florida and California crops mature
Ut different periods. SO q NOT 70 inter-
fere with each other in the market, but
such Is the case. The picking Of the,
Florida crop ordinarily begins In De-
oember, and had it not been Tor the dis
astfous 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 Il, they are
scarce and dear, and also of poor quail
ity. The picking of the California crop,
however, begins before Feb. l, 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
IN this theory, only a few in California
have cultivated the earlier ripening va
rieties which grow quite as well there
Al in Florida.
Orange picking time, both in Cali
fornia and Florida, is q good deal like
hop picking time in hop regions, bean
pulling time where beans are raised,
and the cranberry season on the boys Of
Cape Cod and New Jersey. 1t Is signal
lied by the advent of a 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 n of general
hilarity and unmitigated hustle.
Oranges are not picked in q 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 q 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 in 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 a bag sus-
pended from his neck in front, and in
his hand a 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 pickers who use the bag also
use long stepladders, but in some
groves the stepladder and bag have

weather which swooped down upon the
orange groves of Florida during the last
days of December, the first days of Jan
nary and again early in February. As
soon as the news of the earlier freeze be-
came public property eastern and
northern dealers began to telegraph to
the Pacific coast for oranges, and when
the February cold wave completed the
ruin of the Florida crop, killing thou
sands of trees outright as well as spoil
ing what fruit had survived to that
time, the wires were fairly made hot by
the orders. Today there are lying in the
banks of Los Angeles and other cities of
southern California sums of money ag~
gregating more than 81, 900, 900. which
have been deposited to pay for early
shipments, and every one in the orange

are talking about 81 and 81. 80 a box,
SO that the gross amount of money that
will find its way to the slope in return
for oranges this season is pretty certain
to be more than s., OOO,O 900. As there is
q good profit in the fruit at 81. so q box,
the reason for jubilation on the part Of
the California growers is apparent.
Last year was also a good one from
their standpoint, but in 1892 and 1893
they suffered severely. Frost was the
cause of their trouble in 1892. the tenn

buyers was effected for the purpose of
keeping the price down to 81 q box. The
growers objected and held of as long as
possible, but failed to properly organize
for the marketing Of the fruit them

too far advanced for them to SO organ.
ize, they hurried the crop to the east
and sold at ruinous prices, not more
than $500, 900 being received for what
should have brought between a, 000, :

ers combined and marketed the fruit
