of such localities as in the neighbor-
hood of Orlando, in Orange county,
and those of sOmeparts of Hillsboro
county, and possibly many other local
points; but based upon all sections of
the state, and after an inspection of
hundreds of groves, we venture to-
predict that the crop will be about ten
per cent larger than that of last year.
The general condition of the crop
today is unqualifedly good. Regard
ing how the sizes will average, we
would state that at many places the
fruit today looks large for the time
of year, but should it mature early, it
will not grow to large average, and
this is especially the case where the
trees are we'll loaded.
In all probability some few cars will
be moved between September 18th and
25th, and of these we believe all
should be left on the trees. Some
passab1y we'll internally matured fruit,
and limited number of cars, will be
forwarded between September 25th
and October 10Th, and an increasing
number of cars as October advances.
Outside of the Parson Brown variety,
and some other varieties grown on
shell hammock land, it would per-
haps be better if no fruit left the state
before November 1.
Up to this date, practically no con-
tracts have been entered into, but
slirmishes between the grower and
buyer are of daily occurrence. The
grower is imbued with the idea that
because oranges last spring were very
high, that they should be fairly so this
fall. The buyer, taking into con-
sideratiOn the size of the coming apple
cron realizes that it might be an easy
matter to pay more for oranges than
he could get for them later, and the
gulf between the two opinions has as
yet not been bridged. The indica-
tons, however, are that especially
from the fact Of the greatly increased
cost of packing material, that the very
early oranges will cost as much as
last season, and for later ones, it is
anybody's guess.
What About Grapefruit Answer
ing the same list of questions as those
prOpounded in regard to oranges, we
would say:
First: Fifty per cent more than
last season.
Second: AS fine as one could de-
sire.

it helps them. do not know if it is
contagious, but have put the four
worst cases by themselves. I have
been feeding them cracked corn most
ly, but have fed considerable wheat
also. They have unlimited range, and
[ shut them up closely at night, so
there are no drafts. They are not
lousy, and seem healthy other ways
than what l have mentioned. I have
about 800 and have taken the best
care | know of them, and this worries
me extremely There are a few of
the younger chicks that never had any
of the powder used about them that
are beginning to show signs of the dis

This resembles very much a disease
called 'fungoid." It is contagious, and
all birds that show any sign Of it
should be separated from the rest and
the worst cases killed and burned or
buried deeply. The bead-like swell
lngs usually start on the comb or
wattles; are first hard to the touch,
then grow soft and burst, discharg-
ing yellowish liquid, which causes
fresh ulcers, and so on. If this is
''fungoid' it may be possible to save
the birds when first taken by washing
the head often with strong solution
of carbolic acid; say 10 grains of the
crystals to a quart of water; and feed
soft food with plenty or black pepper
in it. There is an unusual amount of
musty grain of all kinds on the mar
ket, owing probably to the long CON
tinued damp weather. 1t has been i'm
possible to get good clean grain some
of the time, and I have been obliged
to feed stuff that was not fit because
it was impossible to buy any that was
better. Barley has been one of the
cleanest grains I have used, but even
some of that has been musty. So
when a man writes that he feeds
wheat and cracked corn, etc., one can
not tell whether it was stuff fit to
feed or not. Fowls that have free
range as these do, will stand improper
feeding for quite while, but it will
tell sooner or later.

Third: On some groves above the
average. On others but moderate
Fourth: Altogether too green, but
some shipments by September Is.
Fifth: The first small express ship
ments will probably be consigned.
The first lots shipped in mixed cars
with oranges will probably be sold
f. o. b. at from $3.50 to $3.50. A
little later we shall be pleased to tell
you what they are then worth, and
by letter or wire.

TO STUDY HIS SNAKESHIP.
State to Send Specimens Of Reptiles to
Each County


State Economic Zoologist Sur
face Is preparing to send to each
county IN the state for the use of
it's schools, collection of snakes
found in Pennsylvania, with a
chart showing the food of the var
ious serpents, the relation of the
snake family, and the geographi-
cal distribution of the various
species.
These specimens will be used
for educational purposes, so that
the teachers and pupils may ne
able to recognize the varieties and
know IRON their appearance
whether they are poisonous or
fnot.
Already about 1000 snakes OF
various kinds have been mounted
for sending to the schools, and al
most as many more are yet to be
added to the collection. Some OF
these snakes have been captured
by agents of the division, but
many of them are the reptiles
which have been sent to the capl-
tai by farmers and woodSmen
who want to know their names,
habits and the degree of danger
IN their bites.
Not a few farmers have sent
snakes caught loafing about their
barns and springhouses to know
whether they are of the variety
classed as milksnakes, and if they
really milk cows, or just tap milk
crooks and pans.
Possibly the most valuable fea'
ture ofthIs snake propaganda, fit
can be termed such, is the listing

ties and their danger to people.
