FIorida's Future.

In my opinion Florida is just now en-
tering the period of its most remarkable
development. Until few years ago the
people of the country did not know Of
the vast resources of the State, and more
particularly of the monopoly it possesses
as a winter resort, for say what you
please about other States and other Sec
tions, there are none that will compare
with Florida in the matter of winter
climate. Of course the recent cold
spell cannot be taken as a standard, for
it was very rare exception, and Florida
suffered like the rest of the country, but
such a record as this may not be made
again or half a century.
The development of winter travel to
Florida is growing every year. There
are many mere people in Florida this
year than year ago, and there were
more last year than the year before that
Just as soon as good times return and
people have little money you will find

that Florida will not be able to accom-
modate the crowds that will come here,
until it's present facilities are extended.
Florida is now queen of all American
winter resorts, and it's hotels are un-
equaled anywhere on earth. They are
growing in favor year after year, and [
am impressed that we are drawing every
year from new territory and from new
sections. We have had a great many
Europeans here this year, among whom
have been many notable personages.
The Cotton States and International
Exposition to be held at Atlanta next
fall, is going to make an early season
for Florida. Thousands of Northern
people will come to the exposition which
opens in September and closes January
LIST, on which date the Florida season
usually opens in earnest. Now, many
of the visitors will take the occasion of
| their visit to come to Florida, and I'M
less I am greatly mistaken the Florida
season will open fully month earlier
next year than usual. The exposition
will thus be of incalculable benefit to
the State. -Correspondence Atlanta Con

make five times the amount of fodder

Dead Soil"

Growers In this State are frequently
annoyed by spot or two Of dead soil"
in an otherwise fine grove-that is,
small spot where on account of hard
pan, quicksands, or poisonous acid in
the soil or SUI soil trees will not flourish,
but are continually troubled with
dieback. We have in mind such
grove-a handsome property for the
most part, but deformed by two or three
such paces-the owner of which has
worked ithfully for seven years, and
has at last overcome the trouble. He
has carted in vegetable matter by the
ton, wire-grss, broom grass, briers, pal
metto, etc and when it rctted down he
had it spaded in or hoed in at the ex-
tremities Of the roots. Muck was
spaded in, ashes and potash were sprn-
killed. on it. Finally a sweet and whole
some soil was created, and the trees
have healthy foliage, and good crop
of fruit, when right over the fence an
orange tree or pear tree will die in six
weeks.

morning; that all the bearing orange
trees on the Carolina coast were killed to
the ground.
The groves were e-establiShed, and
when the great freeze of the 9th of Feb
ruary, 1885, occurred, trees were then
killed that evidently had been growing
seventy-fve years or more. This freeze
also wiped out everything in the shape
of orange trees in South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Florida. The next freeze in
point of severity was on January IL,
1886, when the temperature was about
Is degrees, and all the fruit was frozen
and many old trees killed, but neverthe-
less considerable crop was raised that
year. On December 3, 1876, and De-
cember 30, 1880, the temperature was
down to 10, fruit frozen and small trees
killed. On January 6, 1884, the tenn
perature was 81 degrees; January 4, 1887,
at % degrees. All the data we have
goes to show that within the past one
hundred years the temperature has gone
onlv once as low as seven degrees above
zero, and that was sixty years ago. Flor
| ida oranges will always be in demand,
and that fact alone should be sufficient
induCement to continue the cultivation
of the same; and all of those who had
destroyed, should endeavor to have them
restored, provided they have bank &C
count to draw ION to cover expenses. From
the Southern portion of Indian river,
the orange has never been cultivated to
any extent, but now that it has been de-
monstrated that there is considerab BILE
portion of the eastern portion of Florida
beyond the frost line, should not be
surprised at the establishing of number
of orange groves all along the coast to
Biscayne Bay. There are considerable
lands along the coast where the orange

apple, the tomato, the orange and onions,
other fruits of the tropics, the eastern
coast will certainly be settled up, more
especially as channels of communica
tion are being rapidly opened up. 1t Is
true that it will require money to &C
complsh what is prophesied, but the
poor and the laboring man can bide his
time in seeking to be employed by the
more favored.
Mr.. Flagler is spending his millions
along the eastern coast of Florida, and
whether or not his life is spared to get
any returns from what he has laid, he
will have satisfaction in knowing that
he has scattered his wealth broadcast,
knowing that he cannot take it with him
when the Almighty thinks proper to call
him to another sphere.

The Freeze of '35-Treating Trees.

NIL l.. 1Cu0oSlI1 VI L
writes as follows to the Juno Sun:
NOTWITHSTANDING your paper is pub
lished "Away down" on Lake Worth,
beyond the orange belt that was, perhaps
some historical events might prove in
teresting to your readers, more especially
those on the upper Indian river and
Smyrna. During recent trip along
the East Coast noticed that the orange
groves that were destroyed by the freeze
of December 20, 1894, and February
s and 8, 1895, were paratively
neglected or abandoned This policy
seems to me suicidal, as, if all of the
trees that had been killed by the cold
were properly treated by saving them
off even with the surface of the ground,
new shoots would in short while spring
up, and, in few years, by proper at
tention, begin to yield oranges.
The great freeze of the 9th of Febru-
airy, 1885, destroyed all of the orange
trees in Florida, more especially in the
city of St. Augustine, as that city, at
that time, was completely enveloped in
orange trees. There was also many
groves on the banks of the St. Johns
river, but those trees on the st. Johns
escaped to a greater extent, as the trunks
of the trees were killed, but the roots
escaped injury. Not so in St. August ne
as the trees, roots and all were killed.
On the 1st of December, 1888, the un-
dersigned, being the editor of news
paper he was then publishing in St.
Augustine, was presented with very
fine orange grown at Mandarin on the
st. Johns river, from the root of tree
killed by the frost of 1885. At the same
date very fine lemon was presented to
the editor grown in the city of st.
Augustine. Thus it Will be perceived
that from the 9th day of February, 1885,
to the LIST day Of December, 1888, a
period of three years and ten months
had elapsed, when the orange and lemon
were presented to the editor.
[ am satisfied by actual experience
that had all of the owners of orange
groves pursued the policy of saving of
their trees, and taking away the earth
from around the old stump,so as to have
the lateral roots exposed, that shoots
would soon start up, and in a few years
oranges be grown to limited extent,
and that in the course of five or six
years all groves would again be re-
established, and the commission mer-
chants would again be able to play their
little game of grab-all. The cultivation
of the orange is, as the Indian would say
of the man, quite uncertain; but, then
again, everything might be considered
uncertain. Putting money in the vaults
of national banks is uncertain, as nine
cases out of ten, when you call for the
same, it will not be there.
Oranges have been successfully grown
In the South for many years and have
passed through many vicissitudes of Sc

he was hurriedly recalled by cries of
Fire" and ''Eelp, help, help" He
rushed back and entered the house to
find the hallway filled with smoke and
flames starting up the stairway.
He dashed through the smoke and
fire to the floor above and found that
his mother and his niece and nephew
had tried to make their way down the
stairs and had been repulsed and
burned by the fire. Klosman dropped
the members of his family from the
second-story window to the ground,
and as the distance was short none of
them were hurt by the fall, and if
Mrs. klosman and the two children
had not become terrified and endeav-
ored to make their escape by the stair
way none of them would have been
injured. The loss by the fire was
