The Orange Markets.

The Trade papers report that Cali
fornia late oranges are still coming to
market and bringing good prices, rang
ing from $500 to $500.
Florida oranges are reported to be
about half of them we'll colored and
such sell for from 1926 to $2.75 per
box The rest being very green bring
only $12O to $3.50. Of course the
sale of such fruit has an injurious ef-
.ect on the market
The editor Of the Fruit and Produce
News thinks that there is evidence that
his efforts to keep green Florida or
anges off the market are bearing fruit.
He adds: I'm many localities the grow
ers are resoluting to keep the green
stuff at home. That is good. Keep it
up and Florida will be the better for
it.
There is no doubt that he is correct
in saying that it would be better for
the state to keep the green stuff at
home
The Fruit Trade Journal says: ''Ad-
vices from Florida are to the effect
that there has been a frost in that
state during the past week followed by
cool, crisp weather, which is exactly
what was needed to color the oranges"
We had the cool weather, but if
there was any frost in the state we have
not heard of it.
The Fruit Trade Journal also says
that there were about 1000 boxes of
Porto Rico oranges sold the last week,
the date of the paper being October 20.
They arrived in good condition and
sold for from $1.7O to $3.50 per box

This w eek's Paper.

If you grow Irish potatoes you will
find an interesting and valuable arti-
Gle on the subject of blight The
same conditions which are favorable,
or unfavorable, to blight in the pota-
to are also favorable, or unfavorable,
totomato blight. l he latter is a
much more common disease in this
State than potato blight. But we
believe that it will not be very long
before our potato growers will find it
necessary to spray all their crops
or lose their potatoes.
This weeks paper might we'll be
called a Nut Special, most of Our
space being devoted to articles on
that subject You will find the re-
port of Mr.. Miller to be very full and
to cover the ground completely. 1t
is evident that the only obstacle in
the way of our being as successful
as Californians in growing nuts, COM
mercially, is on account OF difference
in soils. Yet occasionally trees are
found that bear good crops in this
State, only careful experiment will
demonstrate the possibility of max
ing success of it on your land.
Pecan growing has passed beyond
the experimental stage, the articles
on Commercial Pecan Growing and
the Desirable Characteristics of The
Pecan will be found very useful if
you contemplate setting out a pecan
grove.
We believe that the English walnut
will yet be profitable cultivated in
Florida, but if grove will not pay,
one or two trees for home consump-
ton will certainly be very desirable.
Why cannot prunes be grown in
this State? Get a few trees and test
the matter for yourself We believe
that in many places the prune can
be made profitable.
Trouble On Sand Mountain, tells
of city mans experience on a light
soil. We have no doubt that many
of our readers have had some what
similar experience.

if growing at the ends of little ropes.
Just beyond Guanabacoa we caught
sight of the first plowman and his out
fit. The field was of the reddest vol
canic ash, evidently of great natural
fertility, and was no doubt, being
plowed for the tWo-hundredth time.
The motive power was two little yell
low bulls, with their heads tied to a
cross-bar, in place of yoke, in front
of their horns, and to this was at
tached the plow, illustrated ehBscolfOL
limb of tree fastened to an iron-point-
ed, crooked stick, which was being
dragged through the soil, making a
deep scratch, but turning no furrow,
nor nothing under of the vast amount of
trash that covered the ground In the
next 100 miles we saw scores of these
plows at work, and in the whole dis
lance only two American plows.
We saw hundreds of Cuban cattle of
all sizes and colors, though here and
there we noticed many fine oxen, and
quite number of Jerseys, the bulls
of this breed being greatly esteemed
for their work, for the greater part of
all the work of the plantations, and
the transportation of the sugar cane to
the mills or the trains is carried on
with oxen, one, two, and three-yoke
10 tie cart. Everything transporta-
bic is drawn in huge cart, made with
heWn timber frames and eight-feet-
high wheels, and these huge carts are
pushed along by the heads of the cattle,
a shoulder yoke being unknown A
great pad and block is tied onto the
face Of each OK. 1t seemed incredible.
the loads these cattle would balance
their heads, and how, while waiting
their turn to unload cane at a mill
or cars, they could hold up such
weights, for when tied to the cart the
OK has no chance to move it's head I'M
less the cart is moved If two or more
yokes Of cattle are put on as leaders,
they are strung out, with a distance
Of at least 20 feet between each pair,
the pulling device always being rope,
never a chain.
AS eternal summer reigns, the Gu
ban farmer needs no meadows, for he
pastures on guinea grass, para grass,
pimento and Spanish needles. We saw
corn that would easily husk out 80
bushel baskets to the acre, the ears
resembling Yankee corn somewhat
One day we saw, in one field, corn
planting and husking going on at the
same time.
The Cuban is a great hog raiser, and
he ties his hogs instead of keeping
them in pens. A big SOW was often
seen tied about the neck with ten
foot rope and "pegged" out, though
many. were tied about the fore leg.
Their principle food is palm nuts. The
great palms each yield bushels of
nuts, which are very rich food, much
more fattening than corn meal and
as they are free for the gathering, they
are quite outside of the trust" The
royal palm is house, shelter, food and

A Buckeye in Cuba.

In view of the present conditions in
Cuba and the probability that our
flag is there to stay, you will be inter-
ested to know something of the agri-
cultural resources and prospects as
seen by an American. A correspond
ent of the Ohio Farmer writes about
Cuba as follows:
Outside the city of Havana, one sees
surprises in farming on every side
truck gardens, small farms, and inter-
mixed with them the military, for
there are rural guards at every sta
ton. There are the forts and outworks
that protected the city, and, little
further on, the camp where Gen. Fltz-
hugh Lee had his army of occupation,
a great city of barracks, quarters, cav
airy camps, and artillery sheds, and
the great parade ground, all still kept
in the best of repair by the Cuban gov
eminent Keeping them ready for
you Americans when you come back, }"
was the way Cuban expressed it.
Cactus fences are everywhere, brist-
ling with thorns that compel every
thing to keep respectful distance. On
the road we meet the gardeners COM
ing in with their load of vegetables
Of every kind and name, the greater
part such as the Ohioan is familiar
with Transportation is by means of
huge double pannier baskets, thrown
across horses backs, and the drivers
perched atop, pulling away at the rope
larlat brides with their hands, and at
Cuban cigars with their mouths. Ev-
eryth1ng goes cityward upon horse
Or mule, or in a high-wheeled mule
cart, the cart heavier than both mule
and load. Often we meet the milk
vendors going in with their loads of
'leche' (milk) in bottles and small
cans, these also carried in panniers on
a horse, and often very small one at
that.
Well away from the city, the land
was gently rolling with here anr there
small streams, not unlike the country
between Cleveland and Elyria, Lorain
Co., O. But the familiar grasses and
the trees were all missing. Guinea
grass, and other wild appearing vege-
tation grow in their place. The great
magnificent royal palms, with their
two score of long, pendent, plume
like leaves, are everywhere-along the
dividing lines of plantations, border
ing the long avenues from. the roads
to the planters homes, along the
streams, GROWING the low cockscomb
ridges that are a popularity of the
| landscape, a picture poem in them
| selves Bananas were growing every
| where. Yards and small fields were
full Of them, their giant leaves way
ing in the sunlight, and their huge
punches Of fruit nesting beneath the
| leaves. Cocoanut palms, not so state
ly as the royal, were seen here and
there, with their necklaces of great
green nuts about the bases of the low
