ACCUMULATING EXPERIENCE.

Last year for the first time many Flor
ida orange growers turned their attention
to the cultivation of other crops than the
orange. They were inexperienced in the
work and as result there were many
failures, still the aggregate result was
more than encouraging The season was
most propitious and for this reason there
were doubtless fewer failures than there
otherwise would have been.
The space of time between the freeze
and the time for putting in crops was short.
and consequently the preparation for gen.
eral or diversified farming was inadequate.
Taking this and the inexperience of the
planters into consideration we see no cause
for Encouragement.
The necessity of making the soil produce
something still exists. and will exist for
several years. and our orange growers with
the experience of last year to guide them
should make a great improvement over
their last and first effort We think, too,
that their success will be greater with each
succeeding year, as they accumulate in.
formation in reference to the cultivation
of their crops and also as to what crops
can be grown most prohtably.
Our people have been greatly dis
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-02-19

appointed in the matter of finding marke,
for much of the truck grown; while
there was good demand for the produce
the expense of getting it to the consumer
was SO great that shipments were impos-
sible.
We believe. or at least hope that this
will be remedied in time, but the Floridian
should mot relax his efforts in the least.
The growing of crops for home consump.
ton must necessarily consume the greater
portion of his time, but he should strive to
produce those specialites, those novelties
of the soil, as it were, that by reason of
their rareness will commando higher price
than the staples and justify him in paying
the high rate of transportation.
The time for general planting draws
near. The indications are that tobacco,
cotton and rice will be largely planted: the
planters hoping to derive a revenue from
them, and we see no reason why their
hopes should not be realized. The old
standbys-potatoes. corn, sugar cane and
the family garden will not be neglected,
and if we are favored with good season.
we will pull through all right

PROTECTION AGAINST COLD.

We have recently. and are still devoting
a considerable portion of our space to the
subject of frost protection. We do not
claim that any of the plans so far suggested
are practical, nor do we claim that they
are not. Our idea is 10 give free dis
cussion of the subject, and it is certainly
one worthy of our most profound thought.
1t may be that some plan will be discovered
that will be inexpensive and at the same
effective. With the object of discovering
such plan we will continue the subject
as long as our readers care to have the
ideas of others or as long as others care to
take the chances of being called cranks by
ventilating their ideas. We trust, however
that this fear will not deter them from
committing to paper any thoughts they
may have on the subject.
Our California friends are devoting
much thought to the subject now and it
may be they will strike the great desider.
alum, and if SO, of course we will profit by
it. In the meantime we should not rest on
our arms and wait for others to do the
work for u.s.
We think the California writer's on the
subject do not make a proper distinction
between a frost and freeze. While it
might be an easy matter to prevent frost
by the artificial fog suggested by Mr..
Tickle, we doubt the efficacy of this plan
in the case Of severe freeze, such as
Florida experienced February of last year
and California felt on the 2oth of Deem
Der last past.
1t is folly for us to say that we will never
again have such spell of weather, and
that all such precautions looking to the
protection of the fruit and the trees against
frosts and freezes is time wasted. 1t is
our duty if possible to prepare for the re.
currence of the conditions that confronted
us last year. and if such preparation are
possible, we think it will be unwise for us
not to make them.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-02-19

fornia on about the same footing as Flor
ida so far as climate is concerned.
The remarks of the Chronicle about
California having earned "a decided adj
vantage over Florida in the matter of or
anges" is enough to make horse laugh.
AS long as we had fruit to sell the con-
sumers were willing to pay more for it
than for the California article, and this
fact alone is sufficient to prove the superb
ority of Florida over the California orange.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-02-19
A GREAT PROBLEM.

The transportation question is unques-
tionably the greatest problem that con-
fronts the producers of Florida. 1t may
not be good policy to discuss problem
when we can offer no solution, but we
trust that others may be wise enough to
suggest some plan and strong enough to
enforce it. that will bring relief both to the
transportation companies and the pro:
ducers. We cannot subscribe to the opln-
ion so often expressed by 'anti-corporation
journals, that are radical and unreasonable
to remarkable degree. that the corpora
tons owning and controlling the transpor-
tation lines of Florida are unmerciful rob-
bers, and rob for the fun of robbing% for
certainly there will be no ultimate profit
in charging the producers excessive rates
and thus limiting production and eventu-
ally killing industries. Such course
would be anything but profitable in the
long run. r..
The transportation companies claim that
they are unable to charge lower rate and
make running expenses. We have no
means of verifying this statement. but the
fact that majority of the roads are in the
hands of receivers and some of them being
advertised for sale under foreclosure. is
corroborative of the statement.
At the same time it is true that the pro-
ducers cannot affort to grow produce and
shipit North at the existing rates. They
would not only lose their time and money
in growing the crops. but in some cases
would be called upon to pay balance due
on freight charges. This of course does
not refer to the special early crops of
which Florida has monopoly at certain
seasons of the year. The fact that these
crops bring high price enables the grow
ers to ship at the existing rates and still
make profit
The indications at present are that the
railroads Of the State will be in a very much
worse financial condition than at present.
The orange crop from which they derived
great revenue in years gone by will be
dull for several seasons. and the growers
have found out that there is nothing in the
way of staples that they can grow and ship
at profit. We think. that the only hope
for both the growers ard the transportation
companies is for the companies TO stretch
point and make wholesale reduction in
rates. By doing this they will encourage
a larger production. and while their profit
will be small, if at all. they will be build
ing up the country and in the course of
time we think they will profit by it.
