 suing Fiscal Year
 Washington, June 21.--Assistant Sec retary vanderlip today advised the direc- tor of the bureau of engraving and print ing of the probable requdremnts of the postoffice department for stamps during the fiscal yearending June 30, 1898. These estimates, based upon the number used in previous years, are as follows: %- Ordinary stams 3,444,167,0 900; news paper and periodical stamps, 6,462,0 ,000; postage due stamps, 21,16S,000.
 Of the ordinary stamps, two and half billions are of the 2-cent denomination, and 100000 are of the 10-cent special delivery series.
 As cImpared with the requirements of the present year. these estimates are an increase of about 2S5, 100000 in the number of ordinary stamps, an increase of 77o,000 in the special delivery; an increase of 9S2, 900 in the newspaper and periodical, and decrease. of about 582.oo0 in the postage due series. !

Strawberry Culture.

Importing Plants from Northern
Latitudes-In the several ways above
mentioned the stamina of the plants
might be preserved, perhaps indef-
intely, but, unfortunately, few grow
ers have vet been discovered in Flor
ida who will take the necessary pains.
In the first place, it requires a reso-
lutte man to pluck off and throw away
fruit when he has been waiting for
whole year for something to pay
his store bills with and that too at a
season of the year when fruit is gen.
orally bringing fancy prices, During
the shipping season the growers are
busy and excited over the KALEIDOSCOPE
ic changes in market prices, and few
can be found willing to bring their
minds down to the prOsaic labor Of
cultivating plants. After the shipping
season is over, everybody is exhaust
ed, and it is only a very energetic
man who is willing to resume at once
the treadmill routine which, to insure
success, must continue practically
the year round. The rush of the
strawberry shipping season is fever
ish, it's fascina tons are great, and
this same cause which makes straw
berry specialists poor and infrequent
growers of general garden and field
crops also has the effect of making
them neglectful of the plants at this
time except to strip them as rapidly
as possible of their money-yielding
berries.
Hence when planting time APP
proaches many growers find them
selves with badly depleted beds, hun
dreds, perhaps thousands of plants
dead. Their best resource, then, if
more northerly situation for a fresh
stock, for it is the case with strawber
ries as with Irish potatoes that a re-
sort to higher ATTITUDES for seed Sc
cures a fresh infusion of vitality. 1t
is not necessary to go any further
north than the piedmont region, or
the extreme lower foothills of Ala
bama or Georgia, where the clay of
the tanks of the Appalachian chain
breaks down into the vast wire-grass
flats of the coast region. And it is
highly probable that the advantage
gained here arises more from the
clay, with it's greater natural supplies
of potash, than from the inconsider-
able difference in latitude between
North Florida, for instance, and the
region directly north of Mobile. A
still more marked advantage is gain
ed by importing plants from the pied
mont regions of North Carolina for in
this case there is not only a better
soil but an important gain in latitude.
That the higher latitude is not the
principal element of superiority in
northern regions is proven by the fact
that strawberry plants imported from
States north of the Potomac and the
Ohio are almost universally failure
in Florida. The simple fact is, take
the Newman or any other variety ac-
climated in Florida, carry it up to
the edge of the clay foothills and
grow 1T there even one year, then re-
turn it to Florida and it will be found
to have received an important access

weather moderated when they were
set out When the next cold spell
came in February several were in 4
dormant condition and were only
slightly injured. They were all on
rough lemon roots which is our favor
lite stock for high pine land. AS there
had been several new varieties of pO-
melo introduced since we obtained
our buds from Mr.. Hart and we were
anxious to have his opinion we wrote
him that if he still held his high
opinion of Mays grape fruit and had
lost his trees we would be pleased to
send him few buds. He replied that
our offer would be highly appreciated,
as he had been writing to parties that
he had sent buds to, but they had
kept no record of where the trees
were set and could not guarantee
them. Phillips Bros.
Chuluota, Fla.
Mr.. E. HI. Hart, in the American
Fruit Culturist, says of this variety:
mays Pomelo was growing as an old
tree at the home of DR.. Mays, Orange
Mills, Fla, at the close of the civil |
war. Has always taken premiums
over others wherever exhibited. Shows
slight admiXture of the orange. Fla
vOr unusually sweet and delicious
with but little of the bitter principle"
In the same publication Mr.. Hart |
writes of the pummelo (pOmelO) in
general: "The shaddock or pomelo
&C. decumana) named after Captain
Shaddock, who first brought it to the
West Indies, is supposed to be indig
enous to the Malayan Islands. 1t is
one of the handsomest of the genus;
of moderate height and spreading
form; rather more tender than the
orange, attractive by reason of the
magnificent size of the fruit, which |
sometimes attains a diameter of nine
inches and weight of fifteen pounds.
The flowers are very large, white and |
fragrant; the leaves large, with
broadly winged leaf stalks; the skin
is pale yellow; the rind thick, white,
spongy and bitter; the pulp green
ish, sub-acid, watery and aromatic.
No section of the citrus exhibits
greater diversity than this. There are
oblate, globose, oval, pyriform and
fattened forms; both thick and thin
skinned, enclosing white, pink, red,
or greenish pulp, which varies from
sour, bitter and acrid to a most de-
lightful blending of all in harmonious
proportions.
"In the West Indies it is a favorite
addition to the dessert, after being
prepared by removing the bitter mem
branes and sprinlbling the pulp with
sugar. In this country a small varie
ty, somewhat larger than an over
grown orange, is becoming a favorite
and beginning to be extensively
grown for market. This is the "For-
hidden Fruit" called grapefruit
(from habit of growing in clusters
like branches of grapes), or pummelo,
leaving the name shaddock for the
large sort, although, strictly speak
ing, all are pummeloes. This is rather
thin-skinned for it's size, and filled
with a refreshing sub acid Juice.

worth while TO preserve through Une
summer, plants which have fruited
once; in other cases it is not. In an
other paragraph the Importance of
bringing plants from a more norther
ly section was explained, it is there
shown that it is Improbable to Guilt
vate continuously the plants grown
in Florida. The considerations there
given will decide the planter whether
or not to hold his stock over and fruit
it another year.
If he decides to do so, very soon af-
ter the picking season is ended the
mulching should be raked off and the
beds should be hoed out. Leave all
the trash lying where it grew, and if
there is not enough of it to shade the
ground, throw back some of the
mulching.
AS the strawberry plant practically
grows all winter in Florida, it must
have a season of rest sometime dur
ing the year. That season is in mid
summer. 1t does not want to be cul-
tivated then; it ought to be let alone
and allowed to lie dormant At this
time the life of the plant rereats into
the central bulb. All it's roots die
and turn black. Only a thin and fee
BILE plume of leaves remains to show
that there is any life left in the plant
at all. In this puny condition one
can often kick out with the toe of
ones shoe, what in the spring was a
vigorous plant firmly anchored to the
ground and yielding a good crop of
berries
At this time, therefore, it does not
need to be cultivated, because cultiva-
ton would keep it in a state of semi
activity, dragging along through the
''rainy season" and emerging in the
fall with a spent vitality, unable to
recover itself and produce good
crop. The hoeing above mentioned
is not to constitute a cultivation but
a simple scalping of the ground, cut
ting off the weeds at the surface. The
nearer the plant can be allowed to
lapse into condition of perfect dor
nancy, the better it will befor it in the
fall. Plants cultivated all summer will
give a delusive promise in autumn,
only to break down completely when
the fruiting season arrives.
In this feeble condition it requires
can be retained on the ground with
out breeding destructive vermin, this
will be a help; it keeps the ground
cool. If mulching is out of the ques>
ton it is better to let the weeds and
grass grow to some extent. Of course,
the crabgrass can not be allowed to
have it's own way unchecked, or else
it will speedily smother to death the
enfeebled plants These must have
access to the sun but they want
modified sunlight. A thin row of corn
about every four feet or one of rice
every three feet will help to protect
the strawberry plants. But these
protectors must be removed gradual
ly in the fall, or else the sudden
change will destroy the plants. The
writer has seen a hedge of dog-fennel
growing in the dead furrow between

The SUGAR TRUST.
PubRic Sentiment strong Against
esSxveeteued,s I.exfslattOn.

Public Sentiment Strong Against
ssSweetened" Legislation.
Mr.. William L. Wilson. author of tho
Wilson tariff bill. figures out that the
protection which the sugar trust viii
receive from the Aldrich (or senate)
bill is $12, ,es5, ,94s, all of which win go
into the pockets of half dozen nils
ionaires, who have already grown rich
out of the favors allowed them.
''This," says Mr.. Wilson, sis the
amount which that bill win compel the
American consumers to pay the trust
in excess of what they would have to
pay to foreign refiners for that quantity
of sugar, and it must be increased one
fourth - namely, to SIC, ,229, ,935 - to
show the full protection or bounty to
be taken by law from consumers for
the benefit of the entire refining indus
try of the country"
No fact stands more clearly proved
than that the senate tariff bill is
framed in the interest of the sugar
trust, if not prepared by the trust it
self, the committee being merely it's
organ in laying its demands before cos
gress. We are glad that the issue is
thus clearly joined and the contest made
between the people and the trust.
1t is said in Washington some of the
louisiana growers are disposed to favor
the senate bill, on the ground that the
trust is certain to win this time, as it
always has done in the past, and that
it is the wrong policy to antagonize it.
This is, we think, mistake. The trust
has never shown itself thoughtful OF
the sugar growing interests, but al
ways thoroughly selfish, and willing to
sacrifice every other interest to adj
vance its own profits. While it is true
that the trust has nearly always sue
ceeded in the past in making congress,
and particularly the senate, carry out
it's orders, the chances were never so
good for defeating it as now. The SUI
gar growers would be benefited by
getting out of the way this ogre. which
has done much to bring discredit on the
sugar industry, and has seriously Grip
pied it at times.
The chances were never before so
good for its defeat, for the issue is now
be compelled to say whether he is for
the trust or for the people; and, in the
light of the facts recently brought out,
it win be no pleasant matter for sena-
tors to declare that they win carry out
the trusts orders. So at least the
Herald's interviews showed, when only
six senators were willing to declare
that they belonged to the trust.
We believe the public sentiment on
this subject is strong enough to defeat
this attempt to rob the American peo-
pie of some S13, 100000 year in the in
terest of half dozen millionaires.-N.
