COTTON BOIL WEEvIL.

Ono OF the Most Dangerous Pests that
Has Invaded the Country.
The agricultural department of the
United States government considers
the cotton boil weevil, picture Of
which is here shown, to be one OF the
most dangerous pests that has ever
made its appearance in the United
States. 1t has so far confined its opera
tions to northern Mexico and limited
area in Texas. 1t has in some locali-
ties shown a tendency to spread
rapidly, while in others it is
said to have been at work
for years in very small areas,

cover from the shock and continue the
and making those who engage in ii
wealthy and prosperous. But even with
out this industry Florida would still be a
State and great one, too. That section
of the State devoted to agriculture fro m
a climatic standpoint, is almost as desir-
able as the southern region that has
heretofore claimed the attention of set
tiers and touristS-the latter for comfort
aud relief from the trying winters of
the North, the former by reason of the
opportunities offered to make cOmfor-
table living by the cultivation of the
orange in delightful climate free from
the rlgors of the northern winter. We
think that from now on the tide Of i'm
migration will be divided between the
orange and the agricultural sections.
Many farmers in the North and West
who desire change on account of the
climate will turn their eyes TO the fine
farming lands of our agricultural sec
ton. There they can conduct their
business and at the same time enjoy the
luxuries of a semi-tropic climate.
We see no reason to think that Florida
will take back seat in the matter of
development. While the growth of the
southern, or middle southern section of
the State may be retarded for awhile the
northern and western and extreme
southern section will gain what is lost by
the orange growing region, and all to-
gether the increase in population, the
growth and development of industries
is apt to be larger and more substantial
than ever before.

THE FARMER SHOULD HELP,

Prof. Hunnicutt writing in the South
ern Cultivator under the caption "What
Shall the Farmer Do?" says
The simple truth is, that the farmer knows that
very much of this advice is utterly unsuited to
his surroundings. He cannot act upon it with
out injury and loss. have often asked myself,
why does everybody give the farmer advice? The
lawyer, from his standpoint, thinks it his duty
to tell the farmer how to farm. The doctor
thinks he knows what the farmer should do. The
railroad man is sure he can give wise and timely
advice The merchant is greatly troubled be-
cause the farmer does not farm according to his
ideas Hence, again and again, he volunteers to
tell him how to farm.
The editorial columns TEEN with rules and reg
ulations just suited to bring prosperity to every
farmer. Every politician and candidate dis
courses eloquenty and wisely upon the "dear
farmers" woes and wants.
All these. and others, with one mind and one
Accord" think they know the remedy for all the
farmers woes, Each in his turn, and sometimes
ALL in chorus, join to tell the poor farmer how to
farm.
Indeed it seems as if every body knows exactly
how to farm, except the men who are trying to
farm.
Ger ;ainly there is much truth in what
Prof, Hunnlcutt says; the farmer is
overwhelmed with advice, and much of
this if accepted and acted on would lead
to certain ruin. There is, however some
injustice in the gentlemen's reference to
the editorial advice given the agricul-
turist. AS a rule the agricultural papers
of the country are made by the farmers
themselves. If these papers contained
the ideas of only the editors they would
be of but little use to the farmer, but as
a matter of fact the most valuable mat

MELON GROWERS DENY 1T.

One of the general freight agents of a
Florida railroad in an interview with
the reporter of Jacksonville paper
made the statement that the melon
growers of Florida had done so we'll this
season-made such piles of money-that
they would largely increase their acre
age next season, and the result would be
that where one Car was shipped this sea-
next year. The melon growers do not
look at the matter in the same light.
They will admit that they got their
"berries" in market earlier than any
one else; they will also agree that the
people of the North paid for them all
that could reasonably be asked, but they
deny that they have become rich through
the shipments. The railroad companies
made very much more out of the melon
crop of '95 than the growers, and we are
inclined to think that instead of the
acreage being increased next year it will
be reduced. On this subject the UNA
tilla correspondent of the Times Union
writes:
Melon growers here read Mr. Menzies state
ment Of the 7th about the melon growersin Flor
ida getting the cream this year. Forty-one cars
were shipped from this place. This is Umatilla's
first effort in melons, and she sent the first
out of this State this year. The growers are 60
ing to publish the returns in full and show who
did get the cream. Mr. Menzies' statement draws
this out. Melon and vegetable growers sing
ing "Uncle Ephraim, he's got the coon and gone
on, and gone on; Uncle Ephraim got the coon and
gone on, and gone on. and left me watching the
tree.
We await with Impotence the publ
cation of these figures; we believe they
will corroborate our oft repeated state
ment that the people of Florida could
not make money raising melons without
the co operation of the transportlon COM
panies.

THE GRUMBLERS.

The men who are only happy when
they are miserable, and there are
plenty such, have had an especial good
time during the past few months; they
have been completely satiated with
happiness. The world is full of such
people; when others are happy and hav
ing jolly good time they are miserable
and grunting and grum bling around.
When something does happen to grumb,e
over they are then IN their element, for
they can do the matter justice, having
had so many years experience in the
business.
Those who take things at their hard
est, who see only the dark side of the
clouds rarely succeed in life. 1t is the
cheerful dispositioned man, who, while
approaching the magnitude of all mis-
fortunes and disasters, declines to weep
over split milk and blighted hopes, but
wades right into the business Of re
building in a cheerful, conter ted man
| ner.
If the world was full of weepers and
GROWERS what gay old set we would
be; what chunks of solid fun we woul d
get out of life! In the course of time
we would cease the search for happiness
and go around with long face looking
for something to weep over and grumble
about. If we could be convinced that
the act of shedding few barrels of
tears or grumbling few columns full
OF grumbles over that chilling frost
would help any, we would JOIN forces
with some Of our friends and proceed to
shed and to grumble. But we do not
think it will do any good. That is our
candid opinion. A very great flow of
tears might be of use to the orange
growers in case of an abnormal drouth,
but we are not having drouth just now
and even if we were we doubt the policy
of irrigating with brine.
The current of life runs so evenly
along-one year is so much like another
in the aggregate that what we think to
day an unforgettable misfortune will bt
considered only as an unpleasant mem

then drop to sleep and in an hour or two will be

as the bugs hold out, aud our California friends

EDITORIAL CHAT.

ONE of our highly esteemed contempo-
raries is happy in the reflection that the crop OF
vegetables grown in Florida after the February
freeze, and but which for the freeze would not
have been planted, more than equaled In value
the orange crop that was lost. The journalist
who can really make himself believe this should
be able to make his readers believe that black
was white, or in fact any color.
