Florida Still Factor.

Z
Florida Still Factor.
One could suppose from the editor
ials you copy from the Los Angeles
Times in your issue of July 18th, that
the impression prevails in California
that the orange production of Florida
was entirely wiped out and perman-
emily destroyed. After stating the
Florida crop previous to the freeze at
100000 boxes, it is boasted that Cali
fornia has already half made up the
deficiency and will in five years make
up the balance; taking no account of
any expectation or probability of
large future production from Florida.
It may be interesting to consider the
present condition and future pros
poets of the orange groves in Florida.
The great freeze of February Z, 1895
froze to the ground a very large per
cent. of all the orange trees, north Of
the Manatee an ST. Lucie rivers on the
line of about % degrees. The unin-
iured trees in South Florida furnished
about $4,000 boxes in the crop season
of 1866, and about 100000 boxes
1867. The estimate is that for 1878
the crop will be from 100000 to 100000
boxes This crop will come from the
uniniured trees of South Florida and
the partially injured trees of the cen
tral orange growing region; hardly
any of it from newly budded sprouts
The buds put in in 1895 and 1896 will
have attained sufficient growth it is
believed by the spring of 1898 to
bloom and to bear partial crops. These
newly budded sprouts are putting on
under favorable circumstances a very
rapid growth, which might naturally
be expected when it is recalled that
they have under them the roots of a
full grown tree, widely spread out,
drawing from the soil support and
strength to be impaired to the COM
paratively small tree which has re-
placed the full grown bearing tree
which preceded it.
It is reasonable to anticipate that in
well cared for groves which were
budded as early as their condition
would permit, moderate crop will be
produced in 1889 from these rebud-
ded trees, the aggregate of which will
amount to several hundred thousand
boxes. After these trees acquire
greater age and body the increase of
fruit will be rapid, and three years
hence it will be unnecessary for Cali
fornia to make any extra effort to
supply the home market. The alb
sence of the Florida orange from the
market has demonstrated it's compara-
tive value over all others, and we may
reasonably anticipate that it will be
in large demand when again placed
in quantity upon the market.

with very thin rind, with about half
the usual amount of bitter. 1t is a
true grape fruit, and not a hybrid,
with all the characteristics of the
common varieties, with the exception
of being almost absolutely seedless.
Sometimes you will find fruit con-
tanning three or four shells of seeds,
but as rule they have none at all.
With the absence of seed, the amount
of Juice increases, the flavor improves,
and the fruit retains it's noted quail
ties; the pulp and meat is as dark and
full of juice as the Maltese Blood or
Joppa Late orange.
In serving this fruit you are not re-
quired to remove from eighty to
ninety seeds as is necessary in other
varieties, but it is ready for the table

Sweet Potatoes.

I have demonstrated the entire
practibility of raising two crops of
sweet potatoes in Central Florida in
one year. Although the early months
were cold and dry and May and June
exceedingly hot and dry which
caused me to be ready to harvest
fully month late, I now have
a crop of mature and full sized
IA sweet potatoes ready to ship,
NAwith abundance of the finest kind
Ia8< Iof vines with which to start my
Izs ISs second crop and plenty of time
Ssa as the seasons average to mature
1HB the second crop. By reason OF
unfavorable weather very small
acreage was put in early in this part
of the state. I have about sixteen
acres instead of forty as was my in
tention.
The acreage of tobacco in this coun-
ty is insignificant compared to the ex-
plotting it had last winter. Very few
very small crops with few exceptions
and most of them of the 100 to 200
pound filler kind per acre. [ was
over the greater part of the eastern
half of our county recently, and the
situation would be ridiculous if not so
serious for those involved in it.

His OrandmOther'S Gift.

Men who have reached exalted posi-
tions in life should never forget that
others are struggling along the path
that they have travelled with more or
less pain, and should show little in
diligence; but whether treating a
struggler favorably or unfavorably. it
is always best to be cautious Prob
ably a well known Colonel in Berlin
seriously thought of this after certain
little mistake he made at State ball.
A young Lieutenant who wore a
single decoration, large badge richly
set with diamonds, attracted the Col
onel's attention, and in a supercilious
manner he asked:
Young man, what is that decoration
pray?"
AN order, Colonel" replied the Lieu
tenant
AN order? Dear me. I don't know
it."
TT is an English order Colonel
''Oh, yes, yes; but who ever gave it
to your
My grandmother"
Your grandmother" And here the
Colonel burst into fit of laughter that
lasted a couple of minutes
During the interval the young Lieu
tenant, unabashed. stood calmly by
looking at him.
'But-er-young man, what is your
grandmother's name?' finally asked
the Colonel.
Her majesty Queen Victoria, Queen
of England" replied the young Lieu
tenant. who was Prince Albert of
Schleswig- Holstein.
The Colonel left the ballroom sud-
denly, and was seen no more.-Har

Her Divided Skirts,

"And you have the assurance to tell
me that you discharged your laundress
because of her belief in divided skirts :?
A new woman like you?"
You didn't let me finish. I was going
to explain that she had an idea that it
was the proper thing to divide my sup
ply of skirts between herself and her
eighteen-year-o daughter"

TWO ACCIDENTS.

Albert Schiffers Steps on a Sharp Iron
and Charles Schulz on Nail.
Albert Schiffers, who works in his
fathers blacksmith shop on Austin
street, stepped into a sharp pointed
piece of iron yesterday, which pierced
his shoe and entered his right foot,
near the big toe. He was taken to
Appmann's drugstore, where DR.. Troll
niger dressed the wound and it will be
some time until he will be able to re-
turn TO work.
Charles Schulz, driver for the City
brewery, stepped on a nail yesterday
while moving a lot of old tin at the
brewery, the nail going into his foot.
