A resident of California told me only
q few days ago that it paid the apricot
growers of that state to dry their fruit
and sell it at five cents per pound. We
are paying Is or 20 cents per pound for
the same here in Jacksonville and the
grower is evidently entitled to larger
price, or else we are to less price,
which would increase our consumption.
If our pear growers would dry their
fruit they would have no need to sell
the same for only 81 per barrel, as some
have done in the past.

Snow storms are not of frequent oc-
currence in West Florida but not so rare
that we do not now know what they are.
The first snow l ever saw here was
either in Dec. AZ or Jan. '48. | was
passing few days with friend, and L
think on the morning of the 18th OF
Jan. '49, We opened our eyes on a
world of whiteness. "Did you ever see
such frost?" exclaimed my friend, ut
is snow! it is snow! 1 cried, 1t looks just
as is used to do in Georgia. Grown and
married people who have lived here all
their liyes had never seen snow before.
In sheltered spots it could be seen
for several days. There was good
sized snow storm in JAN, 1858, preceded
by heavy sleet that broke trees up
badly. There have been several minor
''emptings of feather BEDS as the West
Indian girl called the first snow she ever
saw, at intervals of eight or ten years.
Christmas weak of '86, was at Cres-
cent City when 1t YVES sleeting little
and much anxiety prevailed on account
of the fruit. In few days received
litter from my son at home here, in
which he said II am weather bound,
my wife and childre are at G. and l am
over there today, but it is showing hard,
and freezing as fast as it falls. do
not know how long it lasted. We had a
light fall of snow that barley covered
the ground and housetops on the 28th
of JAN, '89, and another in 81 but the
last one was equal to nearly all the rest
put together. We old folks don't enjoy
snow balling one bit, but the middle
aged and young ones do amazingly.
hope we will not have another such
spell of weather soon. But we have
the comfort of knowing that "the Lord
reigns" and nothing comes by chances,
and while we cannot, and are not
required to see the good that is to come
of these calamites, the Lord sees not

Cant Make Orange Brandy.

We clip the following from the Times
Union:
Orange brandy cannot be manu-
featured without violating the internal
revenue laws, is a decision made by the
treasury department yesterday, and in
consequence thereof, one orange grower,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-03-06

who had extracted 1900 gallons of juice
from frozen oranges, will be compelled
to lose considerable amount.
The gentleman is Mr.. G. Jones, of San
ford, who had about 1000 boxes of or.
anges frozen on the trees by the De-
cember freeze. AS the oranges '. ere not
fit to make wine out of, Mr.. Jones de-
cided that he would manut acture some
orange brandy. He pressed out fully
1900 gallons of the juice, and had enough
oranges given him from another grove to
obtain at least as much more.
Before beginning to distill orange
Juice, Mr.. Jones went to the treasury
department. to ascertain the law in re-
gard to distilling brandy, etc. He re-
ceived an answer concerning the making
Of brandy from apples, peaches, etc.
Not fully understanding the matter, he
came to Jacksonville and conferred with
the officials of the revenue department.
After investigation, they Informed Mr..
Jones that he could not manufacture
the law.
Mr.. Jones then got the Jacksonville
office to telegraph the department at
Washington for prompt decision in re-
gard to the matter. The telegram was
sent last Tuesday, but no answer was re-
ceived until yesterday, when telegram
to Collector Wilson came, announcing
that Mr.. Jones could not distill his Or
anges into brandy without violating the
law.
''That is mighty queer law" said
Mr.. Jones. II don't want to be arrested
for violating the internal revenue laws,
so am going home and live off catfish
and grits. I am the first one, evidently,
who eyer thought OF making brandy out
of oranges. 1t is very unjust to allow
brandy to be made out of peaches, apples
and other fruit and to discriminate
against oranges. All of the culls at the
packing houses and dropped oranges in
the groves could be converted into brandy
if the law only allowed it"
AS oranges or orange brandy are not
rtioned in the law governing the
manufacture of distilled spirits, it ap-
pears to be very queer ruling that
m axes a man liable to $500 fine and the
forfeiture of his still for making orange
brandy.
