FATAL EXPLOSION on BATTLE.
SHIP KEAR SARGE.
Atlantic Fleet Had Been for Weeks
Engaged in Most Severe Drills in
Caribbean Sea-AdmraI Evans Re-
ports and Message of Coincidence Is
Sent by Navy Department.

Two years ago to day later than
the fatal Missouri disaster, as every
sailor Immediately recalled, on a Fri
day and the 18th of the month, six
men were done to death in the forward
turret of the battleship Kearsarge by
one of those accidents which acquire
additional terror for sailors because of
their obscure origin and of me almost
impossibility of prevention.
The Atlantic fleet had been for
weeks engaged in most severe drills
in the waters of the Caribbean sea,
eliminating in the quarterly target
practice. This practice was about con-
cluded with most satisfactory results
up to Friday, and it was confidently
expected at the department upon the
basis of preliminary reports received
that all records would be broken in the
matter Of rapidity of fire and efficiency
OF the gunners. But just at the close
Of the weeks work at the department,
came cablegram from Rear Admiral
Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet,
telling of dreadful accident on one
OF his best ships, the Kearsarge.
The news came from Caimanera, a
little cable station at the mouth Of
Guantanamo bay, indicating that the
Kearsarge itself had arrived at that
place. A slight telegraphic error, re-
curing the consumption of some time
to effect the deciphering of the mes
sage, added to the anxiety of the Of
ficials, as soon as they had made out
the fact that serious accident had
occurred.
Lieutenant Joseph M. Graeme, gun
umpire, has been sent to the Mary
land in very critical state. The fol-
lowing have since died: Lieutenant
Hudgins, turret officer; Peter Norberg,
gunners mate; Theodore Naegley, sea-
man; Anton o. Thorsen, seaman Jul
Illus E. Rooster, turret captain, first
class; Ellis H. Athey, seaman
The following were dangerously in
jured by the accident, recovery doubt
full: w. King, ordinary seaman.
The dead were buried at Guantana-
mo. The vessel was uninjured.
A message Of coincidence was tele-
graphed to the commander in chief of
the feet, Admiral Evans, by Acting
Secretary Newberry.

In considering advice it is well to
note that the man who has teams to
keep busy is apt to advise clean cul-
ture with plow and cultivator; those
who work only with hand hoes, will
advocate never breaking UP with the
plow; a fertilizer agent will attribute
the success of certain groves to his
particular brand; man handy with
the saw and who prefers that kind OF
work, thinks pruning is very essential.
Some will advocate top dressing with
BARNARD manure; others, cowpenning;
still others broad casting the fertilizer
all over the ground; others will make
small trenches near the tree and put 1T
in thick1y.
1t is the promise of The Agricul-
turist to aid the grower to choose
rightly and from time to time we will
publish the methods followed by the
most successful growers.

Our Orange Trees.

The most advanced farmers and
fruit growers have been educated the
public as consumers to the highest
quality in fruit, grain and vegetables.
Our best apples come from Nova
Scotia. Northern New England, and
New York, Michigan, Oregon and
Washington. This is also true of the
Irish potato The best seed peas,
barley and wheat are grown in Cana
da The same general law governs
citrus fruits. The oranges of Vo-
lusia, Lake, Marion and Citrus coun-
ties are much superior in 4ualItf to
those of Lee and Dade counties Or of
those grown in the Bahamas or West
India Islands.
In a conversation with Mr.. Stevens,
general manager for Mr.. Stetson's
property here in DeLand. we inquired
of him if he were about to start again
in the citrus industry where he would
locate He informed us that he would
locate either in Marion or VOlusia

any other single individual. The rea-
soning of a man of his experience
should be of special value to the
WOulQ-De nO1neSeeke1-
Mr.. Stetson. Mr. Mcbride, Mr.
Dreka and Judge Stewart were among
the heaviest losers of orange trees by
the freezes of 1So4'o5. None of these
gentlemen lost hope or faith in the
orange industry, and proceeded along
different lines to bring their groves
again into a bearing condition. Mr..
Stetson built extensive sheds to pro-
tect his trees from the Billiards, and
used sheet-irOn furnaces and coke to
fire up in cold weather. The others
drew in lightwood and prepared to
fire in the open air; while still others
depended on banking the trees in De-
cember and taking their chances.
Mr. Mcbride, the president of the
Volusia County Bank, has perhaps
obtained the best results for the
amount of expenditure of any individ-
ual in this vicinity. His trees, pictured
on this page, December, 1905, show
what simple banking and occasional
firing with wood has done. All of
his groves are showing thrift and lave

novice in orange culture is: First. Be
careful in the selection of locally. 1t

ant factor to success When cold

lows and valleys that the most damage

METHODS IN CITRUS CULTURE

The homemaker in Florida will be
surprised at the divergence of opinion
among those who have been here more
or less time as to the best methods of
culture for oranges, grapefruit, lines
and lemons and frequently those who
have been here six months or less will
be, apparently, the best informed.
One reason for this difference of opin-
ion is the fact that orange trees-and
this is largely true of the other citrus
will stand more neglect and bad
treatment in pruning, fertilizing and
cultivation than any other fruit tree.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-01-17

west; then from the west, a very
heavy gale generally accompanied by
rain and gradually veering around to
the north. No anxiety about ex-
IRENE cold may be feared, unless these
conditions exist. When the wind
changes one or two points to the east
of north you may be satisfied that the
severity of the cold has passed Third.
If trees are banked with clean sand,
free from trash, well up into the
branches, by December 18th the tree
is practically insured from any COM
binatiOn of freezes which may posi-
bly occur so far as that banking eX-
tends.
BY observing the picture of the Or
ange tree on this page you will note
that the branches extend from the
ground up.
The orange is an evergreen tree and
the natural protection of the leaves
keeps the sun from shining on branch
es or trunk, thus enabling the tree
to recover tone without material
damage.
1t has been proved that an orange
tree will stand IA degrees if it is per-
fectly dormant and the sun can not
get at the trunk or branches. We
have little doubt that it will stand
10 degrees under the same conditions.
The camphor hedge illustrated on
this page, growing on Mr.. McBr1de's
property. is ten years old. and over
twenty feet high. At the present
time it seems the best possible wind
break that we can plant Expert
ments have been made in treating
camphor leaves and young twigs, dis
tilling the same and extracting the
camphor In view of the increasing
the present market there is little doubt
price at which cafrphor is selling in
that in communities where many
hedges of camphor are planted for
windbreaks considerable income
may be derived therefrom. The cam
Dhor is not only useful as a windbreak
but very ornamental, either as sin
ole tree for the lawn or in the hedge.
Fourth. Mr.. Mcbride claims that the
proper choice of variety now will
make very material difference in
the returns for fruit sold ten years
later. The American nation is a fruit
eating people The increase of the
fruit consumed per capita has doubled
and quadrupled in the last twenty-five
years. The more the people eat of
choice products the more discriminat-
ing thew are in regard to quality

When considering the advice of any
one as to what land to select, how
best to clear it, how to plant, what va
riety, whether clean culture or partial
ly so, mulching or shedding, it may be
well to inquire what results the in
former has gained. If he can show
net returns that are satisfactory his
advice is well worth considering. Sew
eral years ago the writer was in con-
versation with Mr.. Dudley w. Adams
of Tangerine and we asked what
