Last evening two men entered the tall
oring establishment of A. M. Jackson,
122 O'Farrell street, and asked to be shown
some suspender buckles. While these
were being produced Jackson detected
one of the pair in the act of secreting a
bolt of cloth under a coat which he car
ried on his arm. He succeeded in re-
gaining possession of the cloth, but not
until the thief had got away. His COM

and if there is not enough room it
should be put in gOOd-sized cocks on

about twelve feet high and ten feet
in diameter at the base. The tops
should be given a good pitch to shed

The chufa and peanut crop will now

The Onion.


We believe it is safe to say that dur
ing the year for nine months Florida
is supplied with onions grown outside
of the State.
We wish to call attention to two
facts. AS near as we can estimate
from an old school atlas, the Island of
Teneriffe is in about the same latitude
as DeLand-2S.3O. This Teneriffe Is
land is the home of the Bermuda on
ion: that is, all the so-called imported
Bermuda onion seed is actually grown
on the Island of Teneriffe, one of the
group of Canary Islands on the north
west coast Of Africa.
If this be the case, why cannot Flor1-
da raise her own onion seed? PreJu>
dice! She wouldn't be getting the
genuine imported Bermuda onion
seed" but while we are strictly in the
right latitude to grow the Bermuda
onion. our soil is not the kind to keep
I'D the standard of excellence. Now,
there may or may not be something in
this. Has any person in peninsular
Florida ever for a number OF years,
propagated the onion from seed, COM
mencing with a fine specimen OF an
onion. and using the best specimens
grown from the seed of this onion,
combining himself to this one strain
continually? By following this sys-
tenn for a number of years one can de-
termine whether the onion will deteri-
crate or improve in peninsular Florida
under intelligent fertiliZing. Of course
intelligent fertilizing is necessary.
There is a condition of the human sys-
tenn (the too free use Of acid fOOds)
when the slightest scratch will cause

will cause a tendency to rot-start rot

For many years in South Florida all
field crops were considered immaterlal

captain, when he ordered the trio to lay

declined to do so. After repeated refusals
upon their part, he resorted to the law.
One of the sailors entered the plea that
he was sick, and the others stated that
they had been drunk, and were not able to
work at the time ordered. Justice Cole
held that all three were guilty of violation
of the statute under which the proceeding
was brought. and remarked that it was
within his power to sentence them to i'm

Blair explained that he was willing to take
the men back If they would consent to

This Williams and Nelson readily agreed
to do, and they were thereupon released
that they should forfeit four days pay.

The matter was referred by the Commits

that the cause of the noise is primarily
due to insufficient wear of wheel fianges as

tory GrasshOpper.
Every year since the invasion of certain
western states, particularly Kansas and
Colorado, by the Rocky mountain locust or
western grasshopper, in the years 1874 and
1876, the division of entomology of the
United States Department of Agriculture
has sent agent into the field in the west
ern states each summer to study grass
hopper conditions for the purpose of ena-
bling the department to predict. if possible.
a future invasion and to warn formers well
in advance.
This annual trip for the present year has
just been completed. and the special agent.
Mr.. w. d. Hunter. has just reported to DR..
Howard, the entomoiogist of the depart
ment. This years Investigations have been
of special interest on account of a slight
outbreak of the locust in North Dakota
and on account of an unusual abundance
of local non-migratOry species in different
western states. Moreover. a rather large
swarm was seen in flight in early August.
the exact settling point OF which it is now
difficult to approximate.
Earlier in the summer statement was
published in certain western newspapers
to the effect that it was considered by ento-
mologists that the Turtle mountain region
in North Dakota and Montana probably
was a permanent breeding ground of the
destructive migratory grasshopper, state
ment which occasioned much alarm and in
dignaton on the part of railroads and other
land owners in that part of the state. This
region. therefore. was carefully traversed
and scrutiniZed by Mr.. Hunter who reports
that the migratory grasshopper does not
breed permanently in the Turtle mountains
nor in that immediate vicinity The ground
is perfectly unsuited to breeding, and, more
over. swarms descending farther east have
been traced from far to the northeast of
that place. The probable breeding ground.

north and east of Regina-a region which
will be investigated next season.
