The Farmers Convention.

In speaking of the National Con-
vention of Farmers that has been
called to meet in Sanford, the Lees
burg Commercial says that there are
many hundreds of people in the
north and west who are DESTROYS of
a more genial cline in which to build
homes, and that will probably be at
tracted to the Sanford convention.
Florida farmers and fruit growers
should also attend. Doubtless there
will be much there to interest them.
Interchange of ideas cannot other
than prove profitable. There is much
to be learned about Florida, has de-
veloped and undeveloped resources,
her almost numberless products,
even by Floridians and there at San
ford will be a first-rate place to get
the information when the conven-
ton meets.

j. Change the Law.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Jacksonville Citizen, evidently mis-
understands our plea on behalf of
the fruit growers of the state for a
law that will encourage rather than
discourage those who contemplate
engaging in this business. We have
not only claimed that the law was
improperly administered, but our
contention is that there should be a
radical change.
The Citizen holds that under the
present revenue law the assessor
must list the property at it's cash val
lie. We hold that there should be an
exception to this in the case of
young groves and orchards. The
value of this property is purely pros
pective, as it yields no revenue to the
owner for many years, and on the
other hand is a constant expense,
both in the matter of capital and la
Dor.
Even the most optimistic must
now admit, in view of the disasters
in the form of cold waves, that Or.
ange culture should be classed as an

Get Rid Of Rutted Roads.

A rough, rutted road is an impedi-
ment to transportation and destruct-
i've to vehicles and patience. 1t seems
paradoXical to construct good roads
and proceed at once to cut them up
into ruts and holes by the use of mar
row tires. Broad tires, in drawing
loads through fields and on farm
roads, sink less deeply into the soft
earth and employ less draught to
move them than do narrow tires.
The narrow tire has a slight advan
tage in draught over wide tires on
rough, rutted roads. Should wide
tires be used however, there will be
no rutted roads. The broad surfaces
perform the work of rollers in keep
ing smooth and compact roadway
free from ruts. They distribute wear
over the surface of the road. The
Offence between broad and narrow
tires may be summed up thus:
Wide tires do the work of a FOUNDER
and consolidate; narrow do the work
of a pick and tear up.
While the times demand the con-
struction of improved public high
ways, the interests of the taxpayer
imperatively demand that the work
shall be preserved and made perma-
nent. The use of broad tires enures
to the interest of the farmer, and
should be adopted without delay.

the war seems no nearer termina-

The people of Floria have had an
especial interest in the contest now
waging, and that our government
has a problem to solve, the solution
of which will affect them, is evident.
While our sympathies 60 out to
the struggling patriots, we appreci-
ate the fact that the solution of the
problem, if it looks to annexation,
will be materially to our detriment,
and we hope that our government
may be able through it's good Of

There lis necessarily competition
between the products of Florida and
Cuba, and this competition would be
increased if there were none of the
restrictions now imposed. Oranges,
pineapples, sugar, tobacco, ETC., are
grown both in Florida and Cuba, and
Cuba would be a strong competitor
had she free entry for hire staples.

Opportunities for Investments.

The Savannah News in speaking of
a Baltimore business man who has
been travelling in Florida, says that
he met number of capitalists from
all parts of the country looking for
opportunities for profitable invest
ments. Most of them had an eye up
on the pineapple business. ''The
pineapple craze has full sway i'll

perseded the orange boom. Land in
the southern part of the state below
the frost line has advanced in value
more than 40 per cent since the
great freeze of several years ago.
Pineapple raising, it is claimed, is
more profitable than raising or
anges." Florida is full of good
things in the way of Investments.
and the capitalists will find them,
and bring barrels of money into the
state, if the calamity howlers will
keep quiet and not scare them away.
Of course the gentleman's remark
about the frost line is a mere figure
of speech, and he refers to the sec
ton where amazing frosts do not oc-
cur frequently.
The pineapple business has made
wonderful strides in point Of devel-
opment during the past two years,
and the craze" if it is a craze, is
still spreading. In addition to the
cultivation of pines in the "open,"
much attention is being given to the
shed $ cultivation-that is, growing
the plants under inexpensive cover

cold. This plan has proved profita-

could not withstand the cold unpro-

The Cuban Problem.

The war in Cuba drags it's weary
length through the years. 1t was
just two years ago the early part of
this month that the first blow for
Cuban freedom was struck by the
hardy and courageous patriots under
the veteran of many Cuban battles
Maxine Gomez. Since then has fol-
lowed days and months of suffering
and hardship for the patriots. The
brilliant Marti offered up his useful
life for the cause of Cuba libre; the
daring Maceo joined the silent host

extra hazardous business. Owing
to the cold waves, and frequently
other causes, the groves never reach
becomes patent that he has paid tax
ton, and when the grower is com
PEELED to give up the battle, it then
becomes potent that he has paid tax
es on a fictitious valuation--that the
prospective value of his property has
never materialized.
Mr.. Henry George, the great single
tax apostle, in letter to the editor
some time ago, touching Oh this mat
ter says: The system of assessment
of unproductive grove property in
your state, acts as a tax on industry
and will retard Development This
statement will be corroborated by
those who have lived long in the or
ange growing region of Florida, and
noted the bad effects of the law.
Aside from this there is another
point worthy of consideration, and
that is the stimulating effect such a
law would have on the now languish-
ing orange industry. Municipalities
frequently exempt from taxation fer
a term of years manufacturing
plants. The object of this exemption,
of course, is to encourage the estab
lishment of factories that will add
to the development and Wealth of
the communities in which they are
located. The state, we think, with
the same principle in view, could

has the industry and enterprise--and
the courage-to improve it by plant

assessed at the same value as that OF
the Spectator who holds for an adj
vance in price, made certain by the
Industrious man who improves prop
erty adjacent to him. When the fruit
trees reached bearing age, when
they prove a source of income rather
than ''out-go," then the increase in
the assessment could with justice be
made.

The Orange Worm.

Much has been said and written
anges coming to the market are now
infested, and so great is the alarm
among orange-eaters lest these
worms might be accidentally swallow
ed and prove poisonous or otherwise
injurious that many persons fear to
eat this delicious fruit 1t is the pur-
pose of this article to give the his
tory of these so-called ''worms.'
After opening many oranges of all
sorts, the writer has come to the con-
clusion that only Mexican fruit is in
fected. No "California navels," Flor
ida or Jamaica fruit has yielded any
worms. The Mexican oranges are
most of them bright yellowish and
of oblong shape, and of those exam
ined more than one-half contained
from one to five of these worms or
maggots each. If the outside of the
fruit be carefully examined, small
brown patches or scars will be seen,
and frequently small circular holes.
These oranges have been egged by
the ety. that deposits the eggs from
which the orange worm is Matched.
The worm is the larva of dipter-
Gus insect, or true 'fy.'' This fly
lays her eggs on the oranges before
they are wrapped, perhaps when
hanging on the tree. The minute
eggs hatch and the young larva bores
a hole through the skin and feeds OH
the juice and pulp within. The larvae
are more than one-half of an inch in
length, round, smooth and shiny, and
of a pale orange color. They crawl
along quite rapidly and are very rest
less when disturbed. The larva seems
to be allied to, but different from,
the well-known ''Morelos orange fruit
worm" More than Is years ago it
was known that oranges grown in
the state of Morelos, Mexico 600
miles south of the City of Mexico),
were more or less infested with
worms or maggots These were
found to be larvae of a fly called
trypeta ludens, or the "Morelos or

The sentiment in favor of the Cuban
insurgents seems to be growing every
day. In Washington the cause of the
insurgents is warmly espoused. Yes
terday the Cameron resolution, which
the morning dispatches reported
would probably be introduced into the
Senate Monday, was the cause of
much comment. According to Secre-
tary of State Olney, this resolution
practically means war with Spain.
