shot was fired. The ball entered the left

something, which, no doubt, drove him to

At a recent meeting at Miami of the
principal vegetable and fruit growers of
Dade county they organized a society, or
corporation, to be known as the Dade
County Horticultural Society, with a cap
ital stock of $4,000 The object of the So
ciety is Ito advance the interests of the
farmers and fruit growers of Dade county
by cooperation, concert and unity of ac-
ton, insure good handling, rapid trans
portation and good market facilities for
their products, to introduce new fruits and
encourage advanced methods of agricul-
ture, by holding fairs, etc, also to adopt
a trade mark for the exclusive use of
members of the association and persons
authorized by them, and to protect them
in the use of the same by prosecution at
law of all heterogeneous and counterfeit
ing and unauthorized use thereof" The
methods of marketing the products of the
members of the association will be deter
mined at a later meeting. There will be
one point gained, and that is the cessa-
ton of shipping of products to irresponsi-
Bile commissioned men. Every year the
farmer is "gulied' by men representing
that they are agents of reliable houses
and that If the farmer will only patronize
his house, he will receive the highest mar
ket price. These deadbeats are slick talk
ers, and the farmer hears no more from
his products, after he leaves them at the
depot. If the products are handled
through a competent agent the whole field
will be covered and an equal distribution
secured.
