The Fruit Crop,

OAKLAND, CAL, May 1s.-Horticul-
tural Commissioner a. d. Pryal has made
tour of inspection of the fruit crop down
the valley as far as Mission San Jose. He
reports the orchards less afflicted with in
sects than ever before. The late rains Sc
riously affected the cherry crop. Apricots
will not be an average in quantity, but ex-
ceilent in quality. Apples, pears and vege-
tables, hay and berries are looking splen-
did.
As Quarantine Officer, Mr.. Pryal re-
Gently notified local fruit-dealers that
oranges afflicted with Australian scale
were being received here and exposed for
sale. He warned them to receive no fur
ther fruit thus injected, and to-day oranges
in the local market are cleaner than ever
before.
Considerably Mixed.
OAKLAND, CAL, May 1S.-H. Stein

Shannon, has sued A. l.. Harm for $1O6 70,
with interest from March %, 1894. and the
case is now on trial before Judge Ogden.
The amount represents a note given Tor
professional service. The defense charges
that the treatment was SO negligent as to
result in the patients death.
Those who know the physicians feel that

suspiciously like the ice we were SO fan'ii
lar with back East anxiously observed
the fruit on the trees but found no injury
Then came a morning when the thermom
eter indicated 18-no injury. Later came
morning when Jack Frost forced the
mercury down to 20, still no damage, but
when Monday morning at break OF day my
thermometer indicated IS above zero, the
brave olive berries on some trees in ex-
posed situations we're shriveled by the cold.
The loss is small as most of the fruit is
harvested and the frosted fruit could be
saved if at once pressed for oil.
In point of early maturity and even
ripening there may be varieties superior
to the Mission. An olive maturing in Oct
ober might be grown in a situation too
cold for fruit ripening in November and
December. Ibelieve the safest place for
an olive orchard is on protected hillsides,
where the sometimes hot winds Of May
will not blast the bloom and the occasional
frosty winters injure the late maturing
fruit.

SHAPING ORANGE TREES.

A correspondent of the Orlando Reporter
makes the following suggestions in refer
ence to the important matter of shaping
orange trees. He says:
1.-THE present seems very important
time for shaping the top of the coming or
angc tree. IF the shoots have come out
nearer the ground from the body of the
partially dead tree, or, as is often the case.
from the roots of the tree and are allowed
to grow rampant, the top will be too high
from the ground, afording great purchase
for heavy windstorms always liable to &C.
cur.
when the nurseryman plants out a
young tree he always cuts the top back to
the point where he wishes the limbs to
come out which are to make permanent
comely top. Now the young growth of the
past season is essentially the same as re-
Gently transplanted tree. and unless the
tree is to be shaped by the budding pro-
cess, in the opinion of the writer, these
rank growths should be severely cut back
The season of growth has already ar
rived. and the cutting back should be done
that nothing be lost in the efforts OF nature
to rehabilitate new and shapely tree. In
the opinion of many intelligent and think
ing people with whom have conversed,
the new growth is likely to fruit as soon as
though budded again, and unless the char.
acter of the fruit is to be changed, budding
or grating will be unnecessary,
1.-THE writer offers these suggestions in a
spirit of inquiry. not as an oracle, for or
ange growers IN these parts are seeking the
right way out of the maze in which all
grove men find themselves.

He likes good orange and hates a poor
one. His palate has evidently been edu-
Gated by the Florida product. and since
these are no longer in evidence he has been
in very bad humor. In a recent issue OF
his paper he says:
I'VE wish again at the opening of the
new year, as we wished at this time last
year, that the California orange growers
would send us only such oranges as are of
the best quality, or ct least that are fit to
eat This market is now full of California
oranges that are discredit to the state
and grief to their consumers. 1t will
never do for California to carry on this
way year after year.

THE HARDY OLIVE.

In casting about for crops etc., the Flor
idian should attempt to plant and cultivate
such as will not be in danger of freezing.
Mr.. F. T. Lindenberger, California
grower gives some encouraging information
concerning the olive in this connection. In
a recent communication to the New Era,
published at Perris, Cal, he writes:
"My experience has been that the olive
commences to bear profitable crops at
seven years of age. This was on dry, hill.
side ground. With irrigation I am salts.

wood will be hardened up before the cold
of January. Without the irrigation the
growth is delayed until the October or No,

breviated, and in severe winters and ex-
posed situations is liable to be injured by
frost.
The bloom appears in May and the fruit
on our trees this year commenced to ripen
in October and have continued through a
period of three months to come to matur-
ity. When the frosty nights begin to chill

FAIR ASS OCIATIONS.

At Gabrielle. in Orange county, there is
a band of enterprising soil tillers deserving
of much credit and praise. Approaching
that one could learn from another and that
an exposition of the results of their labors
would be beneficial they organized them
selves into an association, for the purpose
of making annual exhibitions and for other
purposes mutually beneficial. The name
Of the association is the Gabrielle, Golden

A STATE FARM.

At the State insane asylum at Chattahoo'
chez considerable portion of the land ad-
Joining the institution is devoted to the
raising of crops. TIL S plan which has
been adopted by large number Of similar
institutions throughout the country serves
dual purpose: it reduces the expense to
the State and at the same time gives to
such inmates of the institution who are in
a condition to avail themselves of it,
healthful employment, which. in many
cases we understand, is an essential part
of the treatment Of this malady. In the
case OF our own State another object is ac-
complished, as the asylum farm is an an
nual object lesson of the profits of modern
soil tilling in this State.
To country that has ever been consid-
cred as adapted only to the growing Of a
circumscribed number of limited crops,
this is an important point and one that
should not be ignored in summing up the
benefits.
A recent report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate the condition of the
institution states that the farm is kept up
to high state of development and the in
come stherefrom is very considerable.
Twenty acres Of new land have also been
cleared, fenced and brought into cultiva.
ton and the hog pastures furnish about
TO- 900 pounds. of bacon, hams, lard. etc.
This the superintendent estimates is 5000
pounds, short of what would have been re-
allied but for the prevalence of hog cholera
in the fall, and that about twenty were
stolen from their pens at night. Of corn,
they harvested 700 bushels, oats $40, Irish
potatoes 600. tomatoes 90, sweet potatoes
1,o7o, fodder 1900 pounds, hay 6, 400
peas (held) 2, 100 pounds. spring and sum-
mer turnips 497 barrels, squasbes 90 pounds
1900 pounds of onions, IS, 900 pounds col
lards, 9, 900 pounds of watermelons, 1000
pounds of pumpkins and 81, 900 of cabbage
Eighteen thousand stalks of sugar cane
were also gathered.
/ So far as we know there is nothing to
prevent the successful cultivation of any
of the crops named above in all parts of
the State. It is true that some sections
owing to the superiority of soil and more
environments will yield larger and more
profitable crops than others. but we think
that any of the crops named can be grown
almost anywhere in the State with rea-
sonable degree of=success.
AS to the point of exchanging these pro-
ducts for cash valae, this is something
more difficult but they will all play an i'm
portant part in the domestic affairs of the
grower.
In this connection it might be we'll to
caution the new conner about the cultiva-

IN another column we produce copious

OF cotton in Florida. Many FIoridians are turn.

purpose of making it side crop to help bridge
the hungry gap till the oranges come again.
Many Of these people have had no experience in
the No after of cultivating cotton, and they will

The discussion of the Smooth Cayenne

free advertising turn. We are anxious to give
the would-be pineapple growers of the State
every facility Of posting themselves on every

published in our columns everything that has
been written. 1t strikes US however that the
limit of forbearance has finally been reached.

THERE is movement on foot in Polk
county looking to the establishment of a shoe
factory somewhere in the vicinity of Lakeland.
We do not know the peculiar conditions that
must exist to make an enterprise of this kind a
financial success, but it strikes us that the move
ment is along the proper lines. If we can put
our raw material on the market in the form of
the finished product our profits will necessarily
be largely increased. The state of Florida ships
tons and tons OF hides annually, and the shipper
of course receives but the bare market price. The
material for tanning these hides exists in abun-
dant quantities within the limits OF the State,
and the tanning OF the hides and the manufac-
ture of the leather into shoes would give en-
ployment to large number of people and the
sale of the product would increase the amount of
money brought into the State for it's purchase.
