ORANGE SITUATION
SOME MORE THOUGHTS FROM
THE CRANK AT LILY.

EDITOR CHAMPION; We did not
discuss the subject in your last
issue as fully as we might.
We will now proceed to discuss
the subject and situation more at
length.
AS to the best method of dis
posing of the present crop of
oranges it is not in the provence of
the writer to dictate, but simply
to discuss the situation as he sees it.
AS to the associations when
properly managed, they secure
more satisfactory results than
when growers are unorganized.
Of course, some wise ones may
rise and state that the Florida
Fruit Growers Uuion came to
naught several years ago,
Again that the California Fruit
Growers Union of citrus fruits had
to disband last year. Therefore,
Fruit Growers Unions or Associ-
atoms are a failure.
Let us seel
We are sorry we can not recall
to our minds a sufficient number of
facts concerning both to make an
intelligent explanation.
Two of the main reasons in re-
gard to the failure of the California
Fruit Growers. Union was, they
sold mostly by auction and when
an independent shipper or grower
sent his fruit to a good market the
Union Immediately rushed lot of
fruit on that market and forced
the prices down and the indie
pendents out. While they. were
forcing the independents out they
were running the membership Of
the Association. In fact, the
management of the Union was said
to have been conducted on regular
trust principles. 1t was not the
Fruit Growers Union that failed
but simply the management.
Hence the Union went to pieces.
If other fruit and vegetable
unions succeed it seems reasonable
that the orange growers ought to
organize a union that might
succeed.
The Strawberry Growers Asso-
citation of both Lakeland and
Lawtey was managed very success
fully for several years.
The Celery Growers Association
of Sanford obtained good results
through their management.
If we are not misinformed The
East Coast Pineapple Association
is managed IN a way that is salts
factory to their membership.
The growers of Texas Bermuda
Onions organized several years ago
and have this year changed their
name to include all other lines OF
vegetables, and they are meeting
with success. Last year though
their crops were nearly a failure,
those who shipped last year in
small lots obtained the best prices.

EDITOR WRECKED
MONDAY NIGHT WHILE COM
ING FROM TAMPA.

We were so unfortunate as to be
aboard the passenger train that got
wrecked on Monday night about
mile this side of Barlow, so we're
10 or more other passengers, the
train being the best filled of any
for some time coming south.
Owing to the continuous rains
the track is in a rather more dan
gerous condition than usual, so
much so that both the conductor
and engineer of that particular
train, so we were told, took out
accident policies just before start
ing from Lakeland.
The engine was crippled and the
people waited two hours at Lake
land while it was mended.
The particular spot where the
accident happened was the siding
curve just out of Barlow. The
engine and baggage cars passed
safely, but the white passenger
coach tipped over to the right,
dragging the colored peoples car
also OH to its side, but the hind
coach broke loose and was left 40
feet in the rear.
A broken rail caused the acct
dent A sudden jar, then a tip
ping up quickly followed. Pas
sengers grabbed the arms of the
seats and sprang to their feet in
stinctively seeking the uppermost
side of the car. The children
shrieked, but for the most part it
was a very quiet crowd. The
children were speedily hushed by
the commanding tones of an elder
ly man who said, Now hush up,
not one of us is hurt. "
We found it easier to unload
from the car by way of the open
windows than by the doors, for it
was less than three feet from the
windows on the lower side to the
ground beneath.
A few of the passengers got cut
by the broken window glass, but
most escaped without a scratch
altho one woman and one man
were carried to a hotel in Barlow
in carriages, next morning they
were pronounced in a fair way to
recover by the Barlow physician
who had been hurriedly summoned
immediately after the accident.

of those left on hand than we
need.
The wrecked cars were gotten
off the track by ten o'clock Tues
day and the delayed mails of "a
hours and passengers were brought
to their journeys end safely few
hours later.
We learned after leaving Barlow
that the man who was hurt was
taken Tuesday to Tampa, as it was
feared that he had been injured in

The lesson of the wreck to us
was: Get out an accident policy
before you start travelling and
keep cool. Your relatives are safe

permanent association of the
orange growers of DeSoto county.
Let it's object not alone be the
/ proper marketing of the fruit but
how to produce the best quality of
fruit The writer believes that a
first class quality of oranges can
be produced from trees that have
been bearing over ammoniated and
russell fruit by proper manage
ment. AS to whether the writer
can do this yet he is not quite
ready to say, Though it may not
be done in one or the first season.
When the growers learn to pro-
duce the quality they will not lack
buyers.
Now in regard to individual
shippers. The writer knows a
grower who three years ago shipped
his own fruit in small lots and he
received more than twenty-five per
cent on what he asked for his fruit.
In fact he received sixty per cent
more than he was offered. There
are some growers not residing in
DeSoto county who ship their own
fruit and receive from twenty-five
to fifty per cent more than they
are offered by the buyers here.
Referring again to the various
associations but very few Of them
send a man to represent them.
They find it more profitable to get
in touch with a first class COM
mission house in the larger cities.
4 Because a man ships once or a
few times and his stuff falls into
the hands of crooks he need not
class all commission men as crooks
and thieves.
If stranger were to locate near
Arcadia and because the first one
or two merchants that he might
trade with should happen to cheat
him that would be no reason for
his clubbing all the merchants of
Arcadia as swindlers.
In organizing an association
would it not be we'll not to confne
the membership to sell through
the association but let each
member, where he can, sell to a
better advantage than he can
through the association why let
him sell, provided it is before the
association makes a permanent
deal.
Now you may say that the meet
ing for next Saturday was only
called to consider the best plan for
disposing of the present crop of
oranges. Granted.
But why not go a step further
and organize a permanent associ-
alton. The reasons are only too
obvious that the majority of the
orange growers of the county
should belong to it.
Some wise one may ask why do
fools rush in where angels fear to
treadl
The writer will simply answer
the question that he is engaged in
the nursery business and what ever
depresses the orange business de-
presses his nursery business. And
If he can, say any thing that will
properly agitate the subject why it
is to his interest to do so as well
as every other nurseryman in the
county. It is to our interest to
study every thing pertaining to
fruit culture and marketing of
same for it all has a reflex influence
on the nursery business.

OF experience and the example OF traction co1i-
panies in other places would not be treated with
such contemptuous indifference.
What is that reason? Those at all familiar
with the policy of the Rhode Island company
will not hesitate TO declare that it is the desire
to extract every possible nickel from every car
put into operation. Dividends millions OF
watered stock must be paid and the income from
running-board riders and strap hangers undoubt-
edy helps materially toward such payment.
The safety OF passengers seems to be of sec
ondary concern TO the satisfying OF stockholders.
The providing OF cars sufficient to meet the
ordinary, not TO say extraordinary, demand
OF traffic might involve expenditure that
would cause temporary curtalment of dividends
but even that could not be thought of by man
agement so short-sighted and inefficient that it
refuses to take the ordinary and obvious precau-
tions to secure the safety of the passengers who
make the Rhode Island company prosperous
There is no hope for betterment of the
electric car service so long as Braytonism domi-
mates at the state house. When that mischievous
power has been crushed, legislature elected by
and representative of the people will so regulate
the operation OF electric railways within the state
that those who ride upon them will not be wan

THEIR DUTY CLEAR.

Three things have been made plain a result
OF the hearings given by the joint special COM
nittee OF the city council on the matter of easy
grade thoroughfare on the east side. 1t has been
shown, in the first place, that the people directly
affected have never asked for this much h-dscussed
easy approach and that the influence behind the
movement to secure the construction OF such thor
pughfare is the influence of the Rhode Island COM
pany.
1t has been made clear that the Francis plans
10 not meet the views of the people. They arc
Objectionable on the ground that if either of them
Is carried out it will cost the taxpayers from
100000 TO nearly 100000 for improvement that
will chiefly benefit the traction company.
1t has been convincingly demonstrated that
"a tunnel through College hill be constructed
at total cost of less than 100000 and that sncb
tunnel will provide rapid and safe transit by
street car to the section beyond the hill
If an easy approach for pedestrians and light
vehicles is deemed necessary it readily be Sc
cured by extending Waterman street from its pres
ent westerly terminus at North Main street to
Exchange place.
With such plain and forceful expression Of
public sentiment has been made the city council
committees duty is clearly and distinctly shown
1t is inconcevable that it will recommend the
adoption of either of the Francis plans. The final
acceptance of any of them would put lhe city to
enormous expense and serve no other purpose til N
to provide roadbed for the cars OF the Rhod
Island company. To seriously propose such q,
unjustfable imposition on the taxpayers of ProI-
dence would arouse storm of indignation and
result in the prompt retirement from office Of
those who had the effrontery to advocate it.
A tunnel through the hill will meet all present
and future needs. 1t can be constructed by the
city at reasonable cost, less by half than either
of the Francis plans would involve, and for its
use the railroad company should be required to pay
a fair and just rental
Under no circumstances should the city council
lend itself to the objectionable folly of spending
100000 or 100000 OF the taxpayers money in the
construction of thoroughfare for the exclusive
benefit Of Perry and Aldrch's street railway COM
pany.
