Finally the civil guard was ordered out to relieve the police.
 Despite these attempts to suppress the disturbances, rioting continued to late hour, many persons being injured. A feature was the general tearing up of paving stones to be hurled at the police and guards. A tramway conductor re- ceived two bullet wounds. Ultimately the troops were called out.

ROOSEVELT NOT 4 CANDIDATE.
Advocates McKinlcy's Re-nOminatfon
 for President-Fceling in the West.

Albany, June Ex-Governor Roose- welt, who stopped off in this city late this afternoon for few minutes on his way to New York city from the west, declared that he was not candidate for the republican nomination in 1900 for president. In an interview the gov- ernor told the Associated Press reporter: Everybody in the west is for McKin- ley's renomination, and I am most em- phatically for his renomination, of course. I feel that both the extreme rapidity with which the country has gone up the path of prosperity under President McKinley's administration and the conduct toward the Philippines make it the duty of every man to stand with it and render President McKinleys renomination necessity. One must smash the insurrection there, and then we can consider terms of peace"

WEDNESDAY,, MARCH 20, 1899.
Free Broom Corn Seed.

We are pleased to know that some
of our people are taking hold of the
broom corn business which we have
in several issues Of this paper agitated.
Mr.. L. L. Pike, of Excelsior Park, is
planting two acres and Mr.. Shella
berger of Lake Hancock is also plant
ing. These gentlemen authorize us to
say that they will supply seed free to
any one who will call on them and
agree to plant and cultivate it proper
ly. Here is an opportunity for our
farmers to take hold of something
which promises good results and we
hope many will avail themselves Of
the opportunity. If the growers will
plant the corn and grow it there are
practical broom makers ready to put
up a factory to make brOOmS right
here in Barlow and as a natural cOnSe>
Quence another factory for the manu-
facture of the handles would follow.
This same concern would at the same
time make hoe, pick, shovel, axe and
other agricultural implement handles
and this manufacturing business
would mean much to our people, Ia
borers and business men alike.
Broom corn is an easy crop to make
and let us urge many of our people to
try it without delay.
We extract the above from the col
umns of the Barlow COurier-Inform>
ant, and would commend it to the
careful consideration of our people.
Broom corn is an easily and cheaply
grown crop, and under favorable con,
ditions is quite profitable.
The trouble with this and many SIM
liar crops, is that if the material must
be shipped to a distant market, the
transportation charges consume the
profits. The way to encourage the cul-

birds tested in different places in order
to determine their merits, and the De-
partment will gladly send some of the
buds to responsible growers willing to
cooperate in the work under the fol-
lowing conditions:
% That representatives of the De-
partment shall be allowed to visit and
inspect the hybrids at various times.
(2) That none of the buds or trees of
any of the hybrids will be given away
or disposed of by the grower until he
has the permission of the Department,
which will not be until the buds have
been fruited and found desirable, and
have been named and described in the
Department publica tons. This pre-
caution is necessary to prevent the dis
tribution of worthless sorts and con-
fusion of names.
60 That in case any of the hybrids
show desirable improvements, one
half of the buds that can be cut from
such trees during the two years fol-
lowing the description of the variety
without causing serious injury shall be
returned to the Department to enable
it to distribute them generally and
thus prevent the improved sort from
being monopolized by a few growers.
By this arrangement the buds left at
the growers disposal will repay him
for his trouble should improved varie
ties be secured, and even though none
of the hybrids should turn out to be
Improvements they will doubtless pro-
duce at least as good fruit as the COM
mon seedlings.
Tt is planned to distribute the buds
about the 1st of April.

New Hybrid Buds.

The Division of Vegetable PhysiOl-
ogy and Pathology of the United
States Department of Agriculture for
some time has been experimenting
with citrus hybrids, primarily for the
purpose of securing a harder tree, and
one less liable to injury from cold.
Under date of March 23d, the Depart
ment issues the following circular:
The Department has on hand buds
of a number of orange, grape fruit,
and tangerine hybrids, the result of
various intercrossings made with a
view of securing certain Improvements
in the flavor and character of fruit,
etc. 1t is our desire to have these hy-

tivation of broom corn is to establish
broom factories in various sections
This we believe, has been done at Kis-
simmee and Barlow, and perhaps 9th
er places. If our people are assured
a nearby market for their product, we
believe broom corn will be extensively
cultivated throughout Florida.
The plant for broom factory is
comparatively inexpensive, and the OPP
eratives need not be highly skilled
workmen. Growers might club togeth-
err and put in the machinery and OPP
crate the facory themselves, thus max
ing a profit at both ends the raw
material and the finished product.

The Value of Molasses as Stock Feed

The Value of Molasses as Stock Feed.
The very short forage crop secured
in the sugar parishes last fall is giving
some trouble to the sugar planters who
now find themselves compelled to buy
hay, a rather unusual transaction in
this country. AS many of the sugar
planters are now working out their
low grade sugars it would be well to
keep in mind the fact that their COM
mon mOlasses for which they realize
at most on the plantations but two or
three cents per gallon delivered in
tank cars, is one of the most valuable
feed articles that can be had.
We need hardly refer to the recent
adoption of sugar as a part of the ra-
ton of the German soldier; to the fact
that the large demand in Louisiana
for low grade molasses comes from the
farmers of Great Britain and the con-
tinent, who long since learned to ap-

Vegetables Versus Fruit.

American fruit, especially Northern
apples, Florida oranges and California
deciduous fruits, have become justly
celebrated in Europe as being superior
to their own productions. There is
something in the climate and soil of
America which imparts high color
and delicate flavor not attaina BILE in
the moister and less electric atmos-
phere of the Old World. On the con-
trary, American vegetables have not
hitherto been accounted equal to those
of Europe, especially the French; the
French peas, asparagus, caunfOwer,
celery, etc., being indispensable.
But it is unquestionable that the
standard of American fruits has dete-
riorated. In these times of universal
destruction of forests and the conse
quent multiplication of insects, the ap
pies of New England are not what
they were in pioneer days. Even in
states no older than Ohio apples and
peaches are not what the grandfathers
of the present generation enjoyed. But
vegetables are improving in the same
regions where the fruits are deteriorat-
ing. All pioneer communities enjoy
finer fruits and a greater amount Of
meat in their bill of fare than do older
ones. AS population becomes more
dense and the competition and strug>
gle for livelihood more intense, vege>
tables enter more and more into the
diet of the people. Even the wealthy
classes resort to vegetables to supply
their increasing deficiency of first-class
fruit. New York caterer, writing in
the Country Gentleman, says:
81 had a list made out by reliable
market man, stating where some fifty
varieties of vegetables came from and
how grown-in dollhouse or indoors.
At the present time all these vegeta-
bles are to be had. This list includes
dollhouse asparagus from Illinois, also
Southern; artichokes rom France,
string beans from Florida, dollhouse

Needed Legislation

Volumes could be, and probably
have been written ON the subject OF
needed legislation" and what the
next legislature should do.
In the past we have called attention
to a few badly needed laws such as a
local option fence law; law providing
for equitable assessment of property
for taxation; the publication of new
laws, etc.
There is, however, another matter of
the most vital Importance to the fruit
growing interests of the State. This is
the matter of enacting a law that will
protect the fruit growers against the
Introduction Of insect pests, and as
sist them in their determination and
eradication when introduced.
The Florida Experimental Station at
Lake City has on it's staff competent
and efficient entomologist, but of
course he has no power to give the
fruit growers protection against the
introduction of insect pests; neither
has he authority to prevent
the widespread sale of nursery trees
that may be infested with these foes
to horticulture.
A law that would perhaps meet the
present requirements might empower
HOfn oil icf 10 10
give certificates of inspection as long
as it is safe to do so-that is as long as
the fruit trees offered for sale are free
of insects. At present he has no au-
thority to make inspection at all eX-
cept when requested to do so, although
he may be morally certain that dan
gerous pests are harbored in particular
nurseries.
Recently we published an extract
from a Clearwater Harbor paper in
reference to the existence of the cot
tony cushion scale in a nursery at that
place. and the timely effort made to
subdue it. SO far as we are advised at
present this scale does not exist in any
of the nurseries of Florida, but unless
held in check and closely watched, it
is liable to reach them some day, and
as we have no adequate law govern
ing inspection, quarantine, etc., we are
apt to have this most dangerous scale
scatter broadcast throughout Florida.
