The Florida agriculturist., 1905-12-13
Florida Fence Laws and immigration.

The following appeared in the Pa
latka Times-H Herald as part of the
Federal Point correspondents letter.
The truth of his statements is self
evident.
We believe in the stock business
for Florida farmers, but only in the
kind that will be worth keeping in a
pasture or if on range, that will
pay for a herder all the time.
No stock should be allowed to run
all times.
We note the effort that is being
made to induce foreign immigration
into Florida, which is a sensible eff
fort, but entirely inconsistent with our
laws and customs. Soon after the
civil war your correspondent induced
a crew of men from the state of
Maine to come out here as mechanics
and sailors. They brought out
schooner which they were to load
with hewn lumber. These men were
rough, hard-working fellows, strong
and healthy, and not dressed in Sum
day clothes, but were orderly, quiet
men who came here for work. When
they arrived some of our most promi-
nent Southern raised men took us to
task for bringing out here a lot of
paupers." 1t is just such men that we
need for immigrants. Whether they
would be looked upon as paupers by
the present generation or not | do no;
know. But one thing do know. Our
laws and customs are long way from
being congenial to such people. Their
largest capital is their bone and mus
Gle. They will come to work, to start
from the foundation and build homes
out of the wilderness. They will not
have capital to build two rods of a
Florida legal fence. They will have no
credit, for our Florida law forbids it.
They will have no social standing, be-
cause they will be poor and lily
dressed. In fact, their surroundings
will not be congenial for them unless
there be change of feeling and senti-
ment among our people that is not
manifest today. Our political and So
cial status should be changed at the
start if the South desires immigra-
ton. The present one party rule with
its imbecile legislative action is so

Cuban Pineapples, Etc.

The Fruit and Produce News pub
lished some notes from Cubl which
contain some interesting Information
fo- Florida growers.
their correspondent las inrcrvien
Ell Il commission man from -h1cago,
who is now in Havaua. His house
handled 90 per cent of the Cuban
pineapple crop last season. He re-
ports that the crop will be about as
large as that of last year, and of bet
ter quality.
Another report from Havana says
that at Ceballos, near the center of
the island, about 100 acres of orange
trees, many of them only three years
old. are full of fine fruit Some of the
trees have about two boxes each on
them. There are thirty-hve acres of
grapefruit also in bearing. Some OF
the fruit will get to the markets. but
much of it is being used by real es-
tate agents to show what can be done
in Cuba
One colony, at Herradura, only a
little over a year old, is going into
the trucking business quite heavily,
about $50 to 800 acres this season.
One man in the colony had last year,
four acres of tomatoes which yielded
well and were profitable.
The raising of onions from Canary
Island sets is quite an extensive bus
mess in some parts of the island.
Many carloads of the sets are import
ed and planted annually. The crop
begins to mature in December and is
all off in February. The expense for
sets is about $Ioo per acre so that it
is a more hazardous crop than grow
ing from seed.
In those places where the sets are
planted it has been found that the
seed does not do well.
The general report from all parts
of the island is that many acres are
being planted to garden crops.
The Florida agriculturist., 1905-12-13
The Team Should Suit the Load.

The article on the application of
power to farm work, contains hint
that deserves more than a mere pass
ing notice. We refer to the idea that
oftentimes a team of small horses
is hitched to an implement that is
too heavy for them and consequently
they can not do a good job. The
result is that the machine is blamed
for not working properly, when the
trouble is that there was not enough
power to make it do fair work.
There are a great many kinds of
farm work that can not be well done
with team of small horses or mules.

SECOND FROM PENN
Heavy Batting Won Series
for Blue and Gray.
MANY CHANGES IN LINE UP
Coach Apperious Switches Team.
McGettisan at Short, Burns in
Centar, Martell in Right.

BY heavy batting Georgetown yester-
day afternoon won the second game of
the three-game series from Pennsyl-
vania by IL to 6.
The game itself was rather loose, but
was interesting throughout, and there
was more enthusiasm among the spec
tators than at any time this season.
Changes of men and positions by both
teams were the order of the day. When
the Blue and Gray players trotted out
onto the diamond it was seen that
Coach Apperious had supplanted Curry
at short by McGettigan, last years sec
ond baseman; Burns had been moved
fl ON right to center, while Martell, the
extra catcher, was showed into right
garden. Later on the coach took White
out and sent Aver in to finish the game.
Penn Made Changes.

Schuler who went to second in place
oil Captain Cariss, who was chased be-
hind the bat. After Georgetown mad
waxed personal with Crimean's twisters
the big fellow was taken out and Fen
nell brought in from right field to pitch,
while Milford was sent into right.
At the bat Hart led for Georgetown
with four hits, Henretty got three, and
Burns, Martell, and McGettigan were
able to tear off a brace of bingles each.
CariSS and Fennell were the only Penn
sylvanians who got more than one hit.

Healthy Old Age.

There is no reason why persons Of
three score years and ten cannot be act

In old people, no mater how healthy
the individual might otherwise be. there
is often tendency to coldness of the ex-
tremities, sIuggishness of the circulation,
torpidity of the liver and constipation.
This tendencyis really acondition, and one
OF the many accompaniment of old age,
and not disease. II there is one remedy

Unf0unded Reports
Upset the Bettors
Rumors of RunaWays in Morning GalIops
StartIe Even Oid-Timers-George A.
WheeIOCk Will Not Retire.

The sensation monger began work
early this season. He started the report
yesterday that George A Wheefock, for
years one of the most prominent book
makers in the country and executive
head of the Metropolitan Turf ASsocia-
tion. as the bookmakers' club is known,
had enough of the racing game and
would retire.
Wheelock was not only going to retire,
but had in manner turned reformer,
and was quoted as making very dispar-
aging remarks about the man who fan
cied that he could match dollars with
the men of the high stools and come off
victorious.
Fancy Wheelock poking fun at a man
for playing the horses from the ground
He has. according to a, conservative est1-
mate, fortune of from s50O,0O0 to 81, OO0-
600, all OF which has been made at rae
ing. But not at booking. For years
Wheelock has been one of the biggest
players in the business.
A good Handicapped, keen judge of
racing and a man of rare judgment,
cool and collected at all times, Wheelock
| long ago found out that the player had
| the best Of it If he played the game on
| business-like basis. He has always
maintained a book in the ring, but this
was only side issue to his play from
| the ground. He made between $3.50 00G
and 100000 last year and the ground
| play was responsible for the greater
| part Of il.
| The fact that Wheelock did not go on
| the block himself at Benning gave rise
10 the story of retirement. He put on
book and placed it in charge of his
brother VIII, while he dallies with the
sport from the other side. But he hasn't
| any idea Of quitting just at present His
| brother will look after the booking and
| he will devote his entire attention to the
angle of the sport that has brought him
the greatest success.
