The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-10-07

People at a distance who had no other
means of getting information, absorbed
these .rose-tinted epistles and took them for
the literal truth, The result can be easily
imagined. They came, they saw and were
disappointed and returned as soon as pos.
sible, bitter enemies of the state. Had
they been told the truth-had they been
given to understand that Florida had good
as we'll as bad, and that man could not
rest under the shade of an orange tree and
make fortune in few years, he would
have known what to expect, and would not
have been disappointed.
We do not know that the feeze is respon-
sible for the demise of this dangerous fel
low, but at any rate we are glad he has
gone. We have enough of the good to
satisfy the reasonable man without exag-
gerating, and giving the impression that
we have none of the bad.

PASSING OF THE BOOMER.

According to large number of people
in Florida the freeze of ga was blessing
in disguise, and from time to time these
people have pointed out the many instan-
ces in which the freeze reacted to our ad.
vantage. 1t is brave people who can get
good out of bad and see the sunshine be-
hind the darkest cloud, and we are proud
to know that our citizens are of this class.
Whether or not the freeze was a blessing
or had blessing even remotely connected
with it, our people have shown persist
ence that is sure to win its reward in the
end.
For several months we have noted the
absence of the boomer. His absence has
been both prominent and appreciated.
We do not know that the freeze is response
BILE for this blessing. but if it is we have
truly that to be thankful for. AT one time
the boomer cut considerable figure in the
affairs of our state, That his efforts were
we'll meaning but misdirected is unques.
toned. He appeared to think that his
mission in life was to get people to come to
Florida to settle, and it mattered but little
to him how this end was accomplished.
His most approved plan was to write
glowing letters. many of which were
printed in newspapers. describing the
charms of the country and telling of al
the good we had and none of the bad.

STUDY THE SITUAT, ON.

We urge upon our readers the necessity
of giving the burning issues of the day
their most earnest consideration. Unques-
tionably the questions involved in the pres.
ent political campaign are vital ones, and
it is the duty of every intelligent citizen to
qualify himself to exercise the right of
franchise.
Our government is literally a govern
ment of the people. and il the people who
govern through their elected representa-.
tives do not govern properly they have
only themselves to blame. If they do not
govern as they shouldn't things 60 wrong
by reason of bad management, we have too
much confidence in the honor and integrity
of the people, who are represented by
those in their official life, to think that the
mismanagement or misgovernment is in
entional-certainly not on the part of the
people, The trouble is that the masses
the great body of plain people who are the
bone and sinew of the country are too given
to letting others think for them They are
qualified to do the thinking for themselves.
The AGR1cULTUR1sT has been reproached
for not taking an active part in the present
discussion of the great financial and other
questions before the people. 1t can stand
this reproach as it has another mission,
and furthermore. as before said. we think
our people are capable of thinking for
themselves. We do not consider it the
mission of physician to teach theology or
minister medicine. The AGRICULrUR1sr
prefers to lend its help to the development
of the country and its resources, believing
that the people will give the other matters
their study and prayerful thought and we
know that the voice of the people is the
voice of God-it cannot speak anything
but truth.

ORANGE GROVES IN DEMAND.

The Tampa Tribune says that there is
going to be big demand this winter for
orange grove property, Already real estate

erty that is in sight and from the numerous
inquiries concerning orange groves we are
of the opinion that they will bring hand
some figures. 1t has already been demon
strated that Hillsborough county is in the
center of the orange belt and that in less
than five years south Florida will produce
nine-tenths of the oranges that are grown
in this state. Large, luscious, and prolific,
this fruit is destined to make this section
of the state comparatively rich. Growers
that were in independent circumstances
before the last freeze in other portions of
the state, realize the advantages of having
grove where it will not be hurt by cold
snaps and freezes. are wisely securing all
the orange property that can be had. Ex-
perienced as they are in the business they
will be a boom to the industry and

prosperous.

Jamaica and Mexican oranges are being
boxed in Florida style-Florida boxes and
wraps-and put on the market as genuine
Florida grown oranges. The Florida
growers, of course are wrathy and rend
the air with their pleading lamentations.
They are getting the same sort of medicine
our California fruit growers have had to
swallow. Perhaps Florida will join Cali
fornia in having law passed making it
felony to label or mark fruit of any and all
kinds-fresh, canned or dried-with any
spurious locality mark. That is the only
way out we see. The practice of fraudu-
lently branding fruit is growing and must
be checked by prosecution and severe pen
alties
The above item is from the California
Citrograph, and we have no hesitancy in
saying that the people of Florida will will
lingly join hands with their CO laborers in
the Sunset state in a movement of this
kind.
Florida has had her ups and downs, and
we think that it is too bad to rob her fruit
of its we'll earned and deserved reputation
by branding inferior foreign fruit as Flor
ida's"
Orange consumers should make note
of the fact that the crop of oranges grown
in Florida this year will not supply the
demands Of any of our third-rate cities.

they are used judiciously, and at proper

would think that its consumption would be

people who scarcely ever taste it. Many

human family at large, that people should

this information should be widely dissem-

with which to partake of fresh fruit. Some
fruits, however, it is now admitted, can be
eaten just before bedtime. AS "a rule, how

in any quantity, it should be taken at any
convenient hour. not later than 4 o'clock p.
