IMMIGRANTS NEEDED

ganize himself into an immigration society,"
and after the organization to enlist as
many of his neighbors as members as pos
sible We have looked for years for the
state government to do something in this
| way, and at one time we had a state
priation. The appropriation. in the first
place was too small, and in the next place
the bureau got mixed up with politics. At
any rate it antagonized the majority fac
ton of the party in power and the appro
priation was cut off, it is said. to throw the
officer in charge out of job. AT any rate
the bureau without funds became nom
entity. if it was.not such before by reason
of the small appropriation at its command.
The crying need of our state is popula-
ton. We have millions of acres of land
enough to support ten times the population
we have-and resources innumerable, but
the trouble is we have not the people to
develop them, and without development
they of course amount to nothing.
We believe that the citizens of Florida
can do much in the way of obtaining set
tiers if they will 60 about the work system
atically. There are thousands of people
in the north and west who are anxious to
change their place of location. and many
of them are changing to the more desirable
sections of the south, where they can make
a comfortable Lying and at the same time
enjoy more salubrious climate. 1t is
known fact that Florida. with all of her
advantages and attractions, is not receiv-
ing her just proportion of these people.
and the cause of it is easily seen-the peo-
pie do not know what we have to offer.
Education is what is needed. If these
people are once informed of the advantages
offered by Florida we think that the waste
places of the state will soon be developed.
We have no special plan to offer to our
people, except that they 60 to work to edu-
cate the people of other sections as to the
advantages we possess. We would suggest
that every letter of inquiry be answered in
full to the smallest detail, and when the
letter is answered do not let the correspon-
dence drop. If you do not hear from your
correspondent soon write to him again. In
the meantime keep him supplied with
papers and literature pertaining to to the
| state
At the same time we would advise mod
GRAFTON. Do not paint our attractions in
too glowing colors. Tell the exact truth
the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Florida has nothing to fear from course
of this kind, and the experience of the past
has demonstrated that lexaggeration has
proven disastrous. Let the people know
that while we have advantages, like every
country on earth we also have disadvan-
tages, and to not be afraid to tell what
these disadvantages are. Advise your cor
respondent if possible to make visit to
Florida in midsummer, which is supposed
to be our worst season, so that he can see
the country before making expensive ar
rangements to locate.
If this plan is followed we believe that
most satisfactory results will be accom-.
plished. State aid in this connection
would of course be better, but while we
are waiting for this our country remains
j undevelopsd.

LEMON GROWING IN MEssINA.

States Consul Caughy of Messina, on the
lemon industry Of that country Theletter
was in reply to certain questions asked by
the lemon growers of California. Mr.
Caughy writes:
| In answer to a series of interrogatories
propounded by California fruit growers,
have prepared the following report on
lemons, lemon orchards and lemon curing.
I have numbered my answers to harmon
ize with the series of interrogatories pro-
pounded by the inquirers above men tioned.
I. Pruning-The lemon trees are pruned
about every three years, but the dead
branches are cut off every June and Octo-
Der,
2. Irrigation The land under lemon or
chards is irrigated.
3, Cost of land-Uncultivated, but irri-
gable, land costs from 2, 900 lire to 200
lire per hectare (the lire is equal to 70. 3
cents and the hectare is equal to 2.471
acres) A full bearing orchand would cost
$4,000 lire ($4,439) per hectare (2.471
acres). The total annual expense of cult.
waiting and manuring each tree is calcu-
lated at 10 cents for orchards having run
ming water-that is, water from streams
4. Bearing-The trees begin to bear in
the third year. Orchards in this neighbour
hood are now about rs years old and each
tree averages 1000 lemons. Old trees
used to bear 5000 to 3, 500 lemons.
$, Preparation for market-Lemons for
boxing are selected with regard to size and
quality in the orchard. In November and
December lemons weighing about 100
grams each Il gram equals 15,432 grains,
and in January about 81 grams are Sc
lected, wrapped in paper and packed in the
boxes.
6. Curing-There is really no curing
process. The boxes are simply stored on
the ground floor of warehouses built of
stone. because on wooden floors the lemons
on the top and bottom layers of each box
shrink. Curing and packing are done by
the dealers, who purchase the yield of the
orchards from the growers. The lemons
while being cured for market are kept in
boxes The lemons cut in November and
December are kept as late as April and
May; the other cuts are not kept longer
than month. All curing houses are built
of stone.
7. PiCking-In October, November and
December lemons are cut green and stored,
as before stated, but in the other months
the fruit is we'll matured before it is gath
cred.
8. Labor-Pickers are paid 80 cents per
day and packing house employees FL cents
per day of ten hours.
9. Weight-The gross weight of box OF
lemons repacked. is Al to "A Kilograms
(92H to SO pounds).
10. Price---Green lemons are bought
here at from 10 to IS lire ($1.93 to $3.47)
per 1000.
II. Culls-Oyers1zed lemons are packed
in boxes or sailed for CONNECTION purposes;
| the small and refuse fruit are used for es
sential oil or concentrated juice.

The word "jayhawker" became gener-
ally known during the war of the rebel
lion from the application of it to himself
and his soldiers by Colonel Jamison of the
Seventh Kansas. The appellation passed
from this regiment to all Kansas soldiers
and was finally applied to the inhabitants
of Kansas themselves. The Kansas "herd-
book" gives the following story as the Or
igin of the name,
Early one autumn morning in 1855 Pat
Devlin, noted character in Kansas In
those days, was seen entering the village
Of Ossawatomie. riding a mule loaded
down with all sorts Of articles. A neigh
Dor met him and said:
"Good morning. Pat. You look as II
you had been out on some kind Of forag-
ing expedition.
YES. I've been out jayhawking."
"What do you mean by jayhawking,
Pati never heard of that word before. I"
"Well, I've been out foraging, and while
riding home ON my haste bethought me
of the bird we have in Ireland we call the
jayhawk, which takes delight in worrying
Its prey before devouring II, and thought

THE Government might do worse
than to establish or aid extensively
in setting up large experimental
cane plantation. Not for the pur-
pose of testing earth, waters or
growth, but with a view of deter
mining on we'll recommended theor-
les as to the possibilities lying in
the sugar industry for persons cap
able of handling modest holdings,
ANY farmer in earnest should be
capable of attempting business with
fifteen to twenty-five acres. There
are many well satisfied that such
an enterprise, with the adjunct of
mill that for grinding would make
a charge fair to itself and not ex
horbitant to the grower, would be
an unqualified success. 1t has
Often been held, and not without
sound business reason, that the
planters themselves cannot afford to
experiment alongthese lines, but the
Government with in full view the
prize of large and desirable acqui-
sition to the roll OF citizenship, can
easily adjudge it advisable to make
the trial.

other day three landed proprietors-Ko
sat, Mikulski and Gregor-were elected
members Of local committee. The two
first named gentlemen, being officers of the
reserve. refused to sit with Gregor In the

them. They refused to fight, giving the
reason that he was not an officer There
upon Gregor threatened to box their ears
wherever he might meet them. The next
day he met Mikulski and carried out his
threat. Mikuiski drew revolver, saying,

times. the other four. Both men were very

apparent. There should no longer
be postponement in providing a
practical thoroughfare to connect
the two sides of the island. Steep
ascents and sharp drops in road
are pretty for tourist to look upon,
but are not encouraging to local
business. The Koolau district, which
is one of the most productive and
pleasantest sections in the group,
deserves better than the old road,

TRIMMING will not work reform

elsewhere. The greatest problems
with which there is now contention
and combat are really part of cit

ton is being constantly increased.
These immigrants bring their habits
and customs, their virtues and
vices. 1t cannot be otherwise.
And the idea that this element, COM
ing from country older than any
other represented on the Islands,
can be changed in jiffy is about an
absurd a thought as could be ad-
vanced. The evils of saki and Ii
centiousness in relation to the col
ony in which they are found, cannot
