Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Blakeslee, Miss
Phoebe B.akeslee and Mrs. d. A. Blakes-
lee have arrived home from Florida,
where they have been during the win
ter. Mr.. Blakeslee reports that the
orange trees have been damaged so that
it will take years to recover from the
freeze. The bark Of the trees after
they were frozen peeled off as if burned,
and ruins the trees down to the ground.
In order to produce oranges again the
trees will have to be rebudded and
several years will elapse before they will
be in good bearing condition again.
Mr.. and Mrs.C. e. Woodward of the an
mex have returned from their annual
winters stay in Florida. They spent
much of the time in pleasant
weather on the pleasure yacht on
the Indian river, stopping part of the
time at Fort Worth and other places.
The season this year was not as en-
joyable as usual, owing to the frequency
of rainy spells, and owing to the de-
preston caused by the failure of the
orange crops. 1t will take several good
years, Mr. Woodward says, to restore
Florida to its normal prosperity, SO
many of the trees being ruined or badly
damaged. 1t has been poor year gen
orally for the Florida people.
