A country that has gone through whai

no fear, we think of the future.
Orange production is still the ultimate
object of vast majority of the people of
south Florida, but while they still expect
the orange trees to yield a handsome profit
they will not, as heretofore depend exclu-
sively on them. They see now the mis-
take in not utilizing the other resources at
hand; they will cultivate crops that mature
annually and yield quick if not large
return. This will make the state what it
should have been all the time-self- sup
porting. and if there is no other setback,
when the trees attain bearing condition
Florida will then be in much better con-
dition than she was at the time of the
freeze

THE LESSON LEARNED.

The farmers of this county, says the Or
lando Reporter, have demonstrated this,
the second year after the freeze. That they
are not dependent on oranges for money
handsome returns, and their provision
crops will be sufficient to bridge them over
another year. AS rule they are making
more money now than they did when their
orange groves were in full bearing. This
condition of affairs comes from
of the ruinous one crop sys-
tenn. which. in the long run. will impover-
ish and bankrupt the farmers of any
country. Then, too. while our farmers
are making money from vegetables and are
producing staple provision crops, their
orange groves are being rapidly revived
and will, before great while, be in as
good condition as they were when the
freeze cut them back When these groves
come into bearing again the country will be
fifty per cent. better off than it was prior
to the freeze, as the owners have been
taught the lesson, severe as it was, that
they can not only live but make money
without producing an orange, and then the
orange crop will be clear profit, as the cul-
ture of other crops will also have brought
the orange trees into bearing. No, the
orange belt, so far from being dead, is the
liveliest section of the state today

OUR REOUPERATIVE POWER.

Florida farmers are having most auspi-
cious season, and the condition of crops is
reported to be all that could be desired.
Our people feel more hopeful, or perhaps
it would be more correct to say more GER
tain of ultimate success than at any time
since the freeze.
We think it safe to say that no other
state or country ever received harder
blow against its prosperity and develop
ment than did Florida by the freeze of
1895, and the courage and determination
of our people to make good out of the bad
has been remarkable.
We do not deny the loss of millions by

THE FIT. MEAD EXPERIMENT.

q The Ft. Meade correspondent of the
Jacksonville Citizen contributes an in
teresting article on the tobacco expert
ment tried near that place:
Last fall the Cuban Tobacco Growers
Company, of this place was formed with
a capital of S15O,OOO
Speaking of the mem bers of the COM
pany and their work the correspondent
says:
The best business principles have been
employed by them in all branches of
their work. They have secured more
chan ], 200 acres of desirable land for
the use of the company alone. This
land is diversified in soil, so that tests
could be made. Much of this acreage
was donated by direct deeds, some was
leased for a term of five years at figure
that would not pay the taxes, and some
was leased for lesser terms of years.
The residents did everything in their
power to encourage and promote the
success of the company. The best
tobacco seed from the Vuelta Abajo dis
6rlct were obtained, besides seeds of a.
number OF other Cuban vegetable pro-
ducts. The planting began as soon as
the seeds arrived. Senior PLATO a
practical tobacco planter. did what was
never done IN this state before, when he
began planting different patches each
successive month, to learn which would
give the best results. A number of the
farmers have been furnished with the
seed, and have planted and cultivated
under the supervision of the company.
When this is cut and cured by the COM
pany, they will allow the farmers a fair
price per pound for their product. From
the mum Der who have taken an interest
in tobacco culture it should not be long
before the people become well versed in
every branch Of the business, including
curing process as practiced in Cuba.
The tobacco plant is cut down several
times before its full yield is gathered.
Each time that it is cut it will send
forth new shoot from lower eye.
Much of the first cut of the tobacco here
has been made, and the second crop is

THE VOTER, CHANCE.

The people of Florida will this fall have
an opportunity of selecting their law max
ers for another session of the Legislature
that convenes next April. This oppor
tunity presents itself bi-annnaiiiy, bat, al
though the great mass of people complain
bitterly of the lack of proper Legislation
for the protection of their interests, they
apparently make no effort to bring about {
change.
We refer now to the much denounced
stock law. 1t has been claimed, and the
claim certainly appears to be a we'll
grounded one, that the state leg stature is
dominated by the cattle interest; that the
assemblymen and senators elected are
afraid of losing the votes of the owners of
live stock, if they vote for the passage of
law that restricts their rights" or the
liberties Of their predatory chattles in any
way We say, judging from the non
action of the legislature on this very impor'
tant matter, that the claim appears to be
founded on fact, and the more's the pity
We have never asked, on the part of oul
constituents, for wholesale nofence law
We admit that such law might work in.
justice to majority of the people in Ger
tain sections or counties of the state where
the cattle interest predominates. We
InE hot 1ox ho fror
after the general plan of our now existing
local option law. A law of this kind would
give the people of the several counties ar
opportunity of voting on the question o.
fences or no fences, and of course the mi
nority would have to submit to the will Of
the majority. We candidly think that {
law of this kind would work for the great
est good Of the greatest numbers. and tina
only this kind of law will.
The people of the state have an oppor
tunitY at the forthcoming election to pro
curing the passage of such law-provid
ing of course majority favors it. Tn
idea should be to elect to the Legislature
men who will pledge themselves prior t.
the election to vote for the law.
These pledges should be demanded as
matter of right and should be given in
positive and unequivocal manner. If the
people who favor such legislation-and VI
believe that they constitute majority o
the voters of the state-will work together
for this end, we think it can be accom-
plished
Much can be done in the party primaries
to accomplish the end, but the voter mus
remember that his personal interest and
the protection of his property is of more
importance to him than the success of his
party especially when this success:
amounts only to the election of state sen
ator or an assemblyman, who mis-repre
sents the interests of his constituents. Il
this is looked at in the proper light it will
be admitted, in which case it will be neces
sary, and no crime either, to break tn,
