Farmers Can't Combine.

For some unaccOuntable reason it
seems that it is utterly impossible to
combine the fruit grower, trucker
or general farmer in any organizatio
that has for it's object the improve
ment of their conditions, the protec-
tiOn of their crops or the advance
ment of interest that is most vital to
them. Not so with the merchant, the
manufacturer or the transportation
companies. They at once recognize
the power there is in the nn;cn and
form combinations or trusts that al
so far reaching in It's effect that
legislation is called upon to make it
unlawful to form trusts, or in other
words so combine the business of any
one branch so that the whole will be
as one and thus avoid competition
which is desirable to the consumer
and generally against the profits of
the business.
The farmers will bear for several
years the overcharging of mer
chants, the eXhorbitant freights of

The Preserved Citron Industry.

is an industry of great magnitude in
southern Europe, and there would
seem to be promising possibilities of
it's establishment i'm this country.
large quantities of the foreign goods
being consumed annually. The citron
of commerce as usually found in the
grocery stores is the product of tree
of the citrus family, grown very large
ly in Sicily, Corsica, etc. The citron
tree, which is little more than shrub,
will grow wherever lemon or orange
trees grow, fourishing best in sandy
soil in the immediate neighborhood of
the sea. 1t is more susceptible to
damage from frost and cold winds
than the orange or lemon. A mature
tree bears 35 to SO citrons, weighing
one pound and upward, especially
large ones often exceeding six pounds.
Citron trees are cultivated in much
the same manner that oranges and
lemons are, requiring plenty of water,
booming between March and May,
and, in fact, all the way into Septem-
Der and October, at which time the
fruit is ripe.
The preserving process is compare
lively simple. The citrons are ship
ped to the factories for candying, '1su-
ally in large casks filled with brine.
The fruit remains in this for consid-
cradle length of time, and when
wanted for preserving is removed,
bold in fresh water until sufficiently
soft, cut into pieces and the seeds
carefully taken out. After being i'm
mersed in cold water for "a hours,
the fruit then takes on a green color,
when it is placed in large earthen jars
with hot syrup, and is allowed to
stand about three weeks. The
strength of the syrup is gradually
increased by the addition of more
sugar. The fruit is then placed in
boilers with crystallizd sugar in lit
tie water and cooked; thoroughly
cooled and boiled again until no more
sugar can be absorbed. The finished
product is drained and placed on wire
netting to dry, when it is ready for
packing and shipping. About so
pounds sugar are used to 100 pounds
citron.
No thorough test yet has been made
to prove the practicability of citron
growing in this country. Domestic
manufacturers use citron imported
from Corsica, Messina, Syria and
Gambia. The citron has been cult
waited to some extent in Cuba, but not
as an article of commerce, and only
little more in this direction has been
accomplished in Mexico. 1t is a prop
OsitiOn which has received some con-
sideration in California, and might
prove successful in Florida as we'll.
The price of imported citron va,;es
greatly; last year, on account of a
short crop abroad, it sold as high as
So per cwt. (of 112 pounds) laid down
in New York, and three years ago as
low as $3.50 per cwt. From points of
import it is distributed, much of it
finding it's way into the west where
