Sugar Planters Will Support rlcKinIey

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. Pin spite of
all indications to the contrary regular
Republicans and sugar planters arrived
at an amicable agreement this after
noon and adjusted all their differences
in a way satisfactory to both. BY to-
days agreement the sugar planters
agreed to support the regular Republi-
can electoral ticket, and in return the
regulars took down their candidates in
the First Second and Third Congress

the sugar planters nominees. The effect
of this compromise makes the result in

ACCUSED HIS AccusHRs
Sensational Scene in the Trial of Rev.
Brown, Of San francisco.


SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 2I,--The Rev.
C. o. Brown became the accuser OF his
judges last night. In an imprisoned
address he charged the moderator, the
Rev. DR.. J. K. Mclean, with deliberate
unfatrneSs. He accused the council OF
having been prejudlced against him
and OF having admitted testimony
which had no proper place before the
court. The scene which followed this

posed to him stamped their approval OF
the action taken by the council.

ted an unanimous vote OF confidence
IN the moderator. While the excite
mem was at It's height Mrs. Brown
attempted TO persuade her husband 20
cease his attack. but he turned quickly
und replied: 81 may as well make Il

the quarrel.

inches wide, and piow the ground sha
low, say three to four inches deep, d
just deep enough to get under the mas
of runners. Turn fiat over and let lie
few days to dry out slightly. Then CIV

When the ground has lain long enough 1

operation of burning, when it will be al
easy process to keep the weed cutter

mer. Fall and winter is the best tia
to begin on this grass, as during the col
weather it makes but little growth, a1
you can thus get the start of il, and,

it is much more easily subdued.

A Florida Prize.
The Cincinnati ENQUIRER says:

The Cincinnati ENQUIRER says:
During the Worlds Fair in 1893, J. A.
Baird, well-known Front street COM
mission man, had magnificent display
of oranges in Horticultural Hall at the
Fair. The oranges were grown on his
Florida plantation at DeLand, and Mr..
Baird was awarded first prize for his
display. That was three years ago and
Mr.. Baird has been wondering all this
time when he would receive his diploma
and medal. In yesterdays mail Mr..
Baird was most agreeably surprised to
find that his prize had arrived at last.
The diploma is a large steel engraved
sheet and most beautiful piece of
work. The medal is about six inches in
circumference, and beautiful colored
bronze. One side of the medal repre-
sents Columbus and his followers land
ing in America, while the reverse has q
raised likeness of Columbus flag ship,
with an inscription above it commemor-
ating his landing. Mr.. Baird is exceed
ingly proud of his prize as, in fact, are
all the commission merchants on Front
street.
Mr.. Baird in speaking of the orange
crop this year in Florida, stated that it
would greatly exceed last years, though
far below an average. The crop this
year will be about 100000 boxes. Last
years crop was only $4,000 boxes. Mr..
Baird ascribed the small crop to the bit
ter frost which occurred two years ago,
destroying oranges and killing the trees.
An idea of the smallness of this and last
years crop may be CLEANED from the
fact that Florida usually produces 6,OOO,-
900 boxes of oranges annually.

Upland Rice and Its Culture.

A correspondent OF the Titusville ADJ
vocate writes as follows:
Rice production in Florida and
through the south generally, may be
looked upon as very promising industry
and, therefore,a latent source of wealth
There is no doubt. whatever, but we
have the right country for it, and when
immigration sets IN on large scale,
rice will be one of the main crops for a
money crop, that the southern farmer
can always turn to with the certainty of
satisfactory results. There is no reason
whatever why this country should i'm
port such quantity Of rice every year,
when we can produce it just as easy in
the southern states as wheat can be pro.
duced in the northern states.
In growing rice crop it is generally
recommended to have it, if possible, on
new land, but where large acreage of
il is grown annually, this would be quite
an impossjbility. But let the land be
new or old, a crop of rice on our sandy
pine lands of Florida has to be we'll fer
tilted with potash. You can easily tell
rice grown on land poor in potash or
without potash fertilizer by the number
of empty bulls on the stalk. and it is
right here that the potash tells in it's re-
suits on grain production. There is no
crop that will outyield rice, if properly
looked after and treated with the proper
fertilizers, and taking it all around, I
know my farmer friends will bear me
out in the assertion that no crop I make
gives noe more satisfaction than my rice
crop.
If am going to make crop on new
land, I want the land we'll broken up
during the previous winter, piowing it
first with good turn p]ow, and then
cross blowing it with double shovel
pillow, or an ordinary five tooth cultiva-
tor, and then narrowing it over and over
again, until get all the sod broken up.
At the last narrowing scatter broad
cast four hundred pounds of kainit per
! acre and harrow it in we'll. When l am
