same in other sections of the country. have
expressed the opinion that the wild cherry
could be easily budded with the "domes-
tic" varieties The effort of those who
have attempted to grow cherries in Florida
have not been successful. but it has been
suggested that if the budding of the wild
trees was successful cherry culture could
be made remarkably profitable here.
In conversation with prominent com
mission man and fruit dealer from the
North a few days ago, we we're informed
that there was no fruit brought to his mar
ket that netted such handsome profit to
the grower as the early cherry If this
fruit could be gotten into the northern
markets be ore the home product was ready
for marketing the shipper could command
his own price.
We are not now attempting to work up
boom on wind. 1t may be that the wild
cherry could not be successfully buddcd,
and we trust that our horticulturists will
not 60 wild over the matter until they post
themselves. At the same time, if these
beautiful wild trees that are at present prof
itless, can be made to bear they are Ger
tainly worthy of attention. The fruit, if
it would come at all would come long be-
fore the northern cherries were ready for
market, and we would thus have practi-
cally monopoly.

TAX SALE MATTERS.

Comptroller Bloxham. in recent circu-
lar to tax collectors, states that he has no
authority to order any postponement of the
publication of the tax sale advertisements
for 1905, but calls attention to Section IS
of the revenue law, extending the time for
final settlement to the first Monday in July,
and advises that the Boards of County
Commissioners fix such dates for the tax
sales Gas will best suit the convenience of
the taxpayers. In another circular the
comptroller suggests to such boards that
they arrange for the publication of the ad-
vertisements in five consecutive issues of
the news papers, instead of four, in order
to ensure absolute validity. He illustrates
the point thus: eff the paper selected in
your county is published on Saturday and
the tax sale is to be made on the first Mon
day in July, which will be the sixth day,
the advertisements should appear on June
9th, 18th, goth, and 25th, and July 4th.

FROST PROTECTION MATTER.

We commend the course of the people
and papers of California in keeping up the
discussion of matters pertaining to the pro-
lection of their fruit trees against frost and
billiards. This discussion as carried on
in the press of California takes a wide
range, and the plans proposed run from
the smudge to the oil tank and torch. Some
have suggested irrigation as preventive,
i. e. the flooding of the ground under the
trees with few inches of water.

GRATING WILD CHERRIES.

A year or two ago horticulturist in the
vicinity of Pensacola claimed to have sue.
ceeded in grating the cherry on the ordi-
nary wild cherry. The gratis or buds were
reported to be in tiourishing condition
and to give promise of bearing abundantly.
Others who have had much experience
in grating cherries and cultivating the

CANNING FACTORIES.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Or
lando Reporter, says that the annual can
ming factory boom has struck the State of
Florida, but that as long as the boom is
confined to the poor newspaper men of the
State there will be no canning factories
We admit this, but our duty lies in the
path of encouraging this boom. We will
do our duty at any rate and encourage the
boom as much as possible. Perhaps after
a time the people most interested will ap-
preciate the value of the advice we have
been offering SO freely in this connection for
the past dozen years. Perhaps after they
have seen the surplus products of few
hundred more CROPS rot in the field for the
want of profitable market. they will grasp
the full force of our suggestion. With this
hope to encourage us we will keep pecking
away.
Again we will say so that there will be
no possibility of misunderstanding our posi-
ton. that we do not think that at present
it will pay to cultivate vegetables in Flor.
da for the sole purpose of supp lying can
ming factories. We do claim, however,
that it will pay to establish canning facto-
ries to utilize our surplus products-truck
that cannot be shipped at profit on &C.
count of low market price; to save stuff
when the markets are glutted to utilize
the culls and refused vegetables This last
is an important item. If we could find
use for inferior truck instead of shipping
it thousand miles. paying transportation
charges on it and injuring the sale of first
class truck with which it is packed, we
would perhaps not be tempted to this rep.
rehensible practice by dump ng everything
into the shipping crate. A canning factory
will encourage closer culling
While we are on record as not advising
the planting of vegetables solely for the
canning factory. we claim the privilege of
revising and altering this opinion. Ex
perience and experiments may demonstrate
that this can proftably be done. These
experiments should be made, however, be-
fore any expensive steps are taken.
A canning factory is not such an exper-
sive affair. and its value to a community,
and the producers of country can hardly
be over estimated. In confederation Of
this statement we take the liberty of repro
ducing the following from the Southern
Farmer of New Orleans:

OF it's grestest lights just as he, like
Henry Grady, was reaching the zenith OF
his fame and usefulness. After an illness
more or lees Of nearly year, ex.Speaker
Charles F. Crisp, died at Atlanta Friday.
He was born in England in 1915, where
his parents had gone on a visit. They
returned during the year to Georgia and
the boy was given common school edu-
cation in Savannah and Macon. He en-
tered the Confederate army in 1861 and
rose to the rank OF lieutenant. After the
war he studied law, and began practice,
upon his admission to the bar at Ella
vile. Ga. He located at Americas, an d
held various offices in the State, includ
ing that of Judge Of the superior court
and wac ,lected TO the 4Sth, 10th, 5Oth,
5lst, SEQ and $50 Congresses. He was
elected Speaker of the House in the SD
and SD Congresses. A year ago the
writer had the pleasure OF hearing his
ooening speech for the U. S. Senatorship,
T. which he would have as certainly been
elected rs be lived. The speech was
made in the largest hall in the Capitol
and it was crowded from pit to dome by
an audience that cheered him to the echo
He was an original free silver advocate
and in this speech promised to vote for
it's r. restoration to the place it held prior
to 1873. Though not a brilliant man,
Speaker Crisp was strong one intellec'
tuslly and held a warm place in the
hearts OF the PIT ople of Georgia and the
country generally.
