WEDNESDAY, DEC. 6, 1899.
Our Protection Mum Der.

We are receiving many words Of
praise from the orange growers of
Florida on our recent special protec-
ton edition. One grower is kind
enough to say that this one issue sis
worth more to the State than all the
other papers printed in it."
The protection of orange groves
against cold is an Infant industry" in
Florida, and all the work along this
line is very largely experimental. The
reader doubtless knows that there was
scarcity of material to work with in
getting up this edition, which made the
labor more difficult. A few years
hence, when the good plans shall have
been separated from the bad ones;
when the experimental stages Of the
industry has passed, and the correct,
most thorough and economical plan is
determined. the compiler of special
protection edition will have an easier
task
We will continue to mail copies of
this edition to all applicants as long as
they last. but they are going fast.

A Mistaken Idea.

Some people labor under the mistak-
en- idea that in no section Of Florida Is
there good farming land. Here is a
clipping from the Chipley Banner, in
which one Washington county farmer
is shown to have cribbed 1000 bushels
of corn. It viii be noted that the item
refers to lone" Of the farmers cribs,
so it is likely that many have had sew
eral of the same capacity as the one
burned. The item follows:
"Mr. E. n. Dekle had the misfortune
to have one Of his cribs together with
about 1000 bushels of corn destroyed
by fire last Saturday night. 1t is con-
elusive that 1t was of incendiary orr
gin. Such practice as that should be
stamped out: If the parties who com.
mitted the dastardly deed can be ap>
pretended they should be punished to
the full extent of the law"

The Velvet Bean.

The velvet bean has been on a boom
for several years. This crop perhaps
has been more extensively advertised
than any other that can be grown in
Florida. Perhaps, as with everything
else that is doomed, too much was
claimed for the bean, but hOtwith-
standing this we think there have
been few disappointments, and it is,
we believe, destined to be one of Flori>
da's staple crops at least among pro-
gresSive farmers.
The boom period having now passed,
the bean is getting down to business
and showing what it can do in the
way of attening hogs feeding stock
and renovating the soil. The acreage
in this crop next year will be largely
increased and those who have seed
should have no difficulty in finding a
profitable market.

Light Ahead.

The Leesnurg Commercial, whose
editor is a careful observer Of the
conditions OF people among whom DC
lives, considers the prospects OF the
farmers of his section most encourage
ing. He says:
THE velvet bean crop is large this
year; il will be larger next year; The
number of hogs now fattening for
pork to be made into good bacon,
shoulders and hams, is larger this year
than it was last, and will be still
greater twelve months hence. The
acreage in cassava is larger and 1T viii

The Hope of Farmers.

If agriculture again rises to that
prominence it once held in the South
it must come through diversified farm
ing 1t must come through the door of
business principles and independent
action. 1t must come by having our
corn cribs and smOkehouses on the
farms and markets for surplus pro-
ducts at our doors.-Arkansas Ga
zette.

Experiments in Orange Crossing.

The Secretary Of Agriculture, in his
forthcoming report will devote partic-
ular attention to the experiments
which are being made in hybridizing
the orange. Crosses have been made
between Floridas and the hardy Jap
birds are being grown by the thous-
sand. The Secretary says it is believ-
ed that they will combine the frost re-
sisting qualities of the Japanese tree
with the lusciousness of the Florida
fruit

Cassava Convention Postponed.

We have received from the local
committee at Sanford in charge Of the
arrangements for the cassava conven-
ton, the following notice Of postpone
ment:
CONFORMING to the urgent request
Of Southern Farmers and Northern
parties interested in the proposed cas-
sava Convention called to assemble at
Sanford, Florida on the Goth Of De-
cember 1890 The executive commit
tee have consented to postpone the
date of the cassava convention until
January 25th, 1900, to enable now
busy farmers and distant parties to
attend this important industrial con
vention.'

Mr.. Sloper's Canal.

project of Engineer SlOper to dig a
canal across the peninsula of Florida
for the purpose of diverting the Cult
Stream from the west coast of Europe
! to the east coast of America, and thus
transferring II least a portion of the
comparatively warm temperature
from the Old to the New continent
says:
1T is not such an easy task as Mr.
I"SlOper seems to imagine. Still, as the
country of Florida is fiat, there would
be no great difficulties to be sur
mounted in this direction, and it is,
therefore, possible that a company
may soon be formed in the United
States of America for the construction
of a canal, even if nothing more is
done. How far such a diversion of
the Gulf Stream would benefit the
northeast of the United States to the
detriment Cf the northwest of Europe,
need not be discussed at present, be-
cause there are many reasons for be-
lieving that Mr.. Sloper's hopes are too
sanguine. 1t must not be forgotten
that the execution of such a plan
would entail an expenditure beside
which the cost of the Suez or Pana-
ma canal would be quite insignifi-
cant
Of course the canal would only at
tain it's object if the whole of the
Gulf Stream could be easily diverted.
But an idea Of it's size, as compared
with the Suez canal may be gathered
from the following figures. The Suez
canal is one hundred and sixty kilo-
meters long, and hundred meters
broad, and eight meters deep. 1t cost
four hundred million marks The
Florida peninsula, at the point where
it is to be jrtersected, is almost as
broad as the Suez canal is long; or,
perhaps, five or ten, kilometers less.
The Gulf Stream is about one hundred
and ten kilometers and the new ca
nal would have to be equally broad
and deep. That is to say, it
would have to be twenty-five
times as deep and more than
thousand times as broad as the Suez
canal; and the cost of excavation,
quite apart Fl ON the extra expense of
working at such depth, would
amount to ten thousand milliards of
marks, or two thousand five hundred
times as much as the indemnity paid
by France TO Germany. Quite apart
from the question whether it is techn-
cally possible to dig such a broad ca
nal to q depth of two hundred meters,
the impossibility of raising such a sum
may deliver Europe from the fear IF
the northwest continent being subject
ed to such an enormous lowering of
temperature.
AS far as Florida is concerned, if
the Times figures as to the cost are
correct it would be cheaper for us to
build sheds to protect our orange
groves than to levy tax for the con
stI'uction of this canal. Of course if
Mr.. Sloper can get outside capital in
terested in his scheme, we interpose
no objections, and can promise him a

The Jamaica DUTY.

are protesting against the con
firmation of the treaty revising
the duty ON Jamaica oranges
claiming that the admission OF
these oranges upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the treaty
will permit the foreign growers to de
liver their fruits to the markets of the
United States cheaper than they can
be grown and marketed in this coun.
try.
OF course this is matter of very
great interest to the orange growers
Of Florida as well as those of Califor
mia, and our people should bring al
possible pressure to bear on our Sena
tors to induce them to vote against
the ratification of the treaty.
We have been unable to learn the
provisions that are inimical to our in
terest, but we quote from the Fruit
World of Los Angeles, Cal, the fol
lowing Eastern opinions concerning
the treaty, and it's effect on the Cali.
fornia industry:
'Mr. Fletcher, of the Porter Bros
Company, extensive handlers Of Cali.
fornia fruit is very decidedly opposed
to the treaty, which he says must of
necessity deal a heavy blow to the
California orange trade in the East
He argues as follows: THE orange
crop in California for 1897-'98 was ap-
proximately $4,000 cars. Jamaica that
year had a large yield and exported
more to the United States than ever
before. The effect on the prices of
California oranges was lamentable
Since then the acreage in both produc-
ing countries has been greatly increas.
ed, and the facilities for transporta.
ton hence from the West Indies have
been much improved. 1t follows that
if the present duty on Jamaica or
anges be removed the California fruit
will sell for even less than the unre
munerative figures ruling in 1S97'9S.'
The representative of another large
California concern is of the same way
Of thinking. He says: "It is hare
enough to compete with Jamaica or
anges even under existing circum
