LOOKS LIKE A MILITARY CAMP.
Orange Groves of Florida Have Be-

Orange Groves of Florida Have Be-
come a Rendezvous for Campers.
Orange culture in Florida has re.
ceived severe setback by the frosts
that have killed the buds and dissi-
pated the hope of gathering a profit
able harvest during the coming sum-
mer. The growers have taken to CIV
ing their trees as much attention as is
shOwered upon any invalid that visits
that state in search of health. There
are several ways of protecting the fruit
trees, but to the northerner the most
novel is that of individual tent cover
ings for them.
Many of the tents are similar in
shape to those used for military pur-
poses and large enough to hold a
dozen soldiers comfortably. Where
they are made entirely of canvas they
are attached to a wooden pole driven
into the ground and firmly bedded.
From the top of the pole extends
cross-piece which supports the top
of the canvas when the tent is in use.
Below the cross-piece is fastened a
wooden hoop large enough to COM
pletely encircle the tree. When there
is no danger Of a frost the canvas is
folded against the supporting post
and tied so loosely that it can be un-
fastened by a mere pull of the hand.
When the engineer of the railroad
train passing through the orange coun-
try of Florida, blows a prolonged blast
with the whistle of the locomotive you
can see men, women and children
fastening toward. the orange groves,
as the people in country town run to
put out a fire.
The whistle is a signal to them that
a cold wave is coming and unless they
take steps to fight it few hours may
mean the loss Of a years work and
perhaps ruin. This is why everybody
who can help, from grandfather down
to the youngster of 10, starts for the
