A Sanitary Dairy.

Six weeks ago we told you about a
dairy near New York City, which has
contracted its entire dairy yield OF milk
at 20 cents per quart.
Probably most of you thought of it
as being good thing for one located
near that great city, but that it could
not be done anywhere else
We do not know what price they are
to receive, as the amount is not stated,
only that the product is engaged at a
good price. We are getting ahead Of
our story, the Tribune Farmer tells
of larger dairy in Missouri, which
has been established to furnish a sup
ply of sanitary milk The barns are
built with cement floors, iron drain
pipes, ETC. Everything that can con-
duce to perfect cleanliness and insure
wholesome milk. We believe that a
similar plant put up near any large
Southern city, would very soon be-
come a source Of great profit to the
owner. OF course, it would be neces-
sary to start in small way, and build
up as the value Of the product became
known

Parcels Post.

1t is but little more than week now
before congress meets. There is no
doubt that the question of a parcels
post will again come up. The outlook
for success at the next session is not
at all encouraging. Still it is not wise
to give back an inch. The motto of a
very successful advertiser was Keep
everlastingly at it." It won him sue
cess, and it will do the same for US.
No doubt the express companies feel
very sure Of their ground, but it is a
long lane that has no turn. The manu-
facturers Of oleomargarine felt that
they were SO strongly entrenched that
no one could modest them, but the
time came when the farmers organiza-
tons won against organized greed.
We believe that the same thing will
happen again, that we shall win against
the express companies and all their
friends.
We have always believed in 'The
greatest good for the greatest num-
ber." If this is the proper rule, if
majorities should rule, then certainly
the farmers and the jewellers in small
country villages and towns, the ones
who would be benefited by a parcels
post are largely in majority.
Suppose the small storekeepers are

Camphor.

We endorse all that Mr.. Wright
says as to the desirabllity of growing
camphor trees in this state. Some
weeks ago we called attention to the
fact that camphor was becoming more
and more necessary every day, while
the entire supply was controlled by
one nation, Japan, which was not only
raising the price, but threatening to cut
off the supply.
It is no longer a question whether
camphor can be produced in Florida,
that has been proven beyond the pos
sibility Of dispute. The only question
which remains is, Can it be produced
proftably? This also we say is settled,
for the experiments already made show

Damaging Frost in Florida.

Have you heard of it, if so the
papers in this state have kept very
quiet about it, An old saying is, go
away from home to learn the news :"
The Fruit Trade Journal of Nov. II,
says that freeze all over Florida from
Tampa north, on Tuesday night, Nov.
IL, and again on Wednesday night,
had greatly damaged vegetable crops
That some reported the crops entirely
destroyed and others that the damage
was at least 80 per cent
We have no knowledge of any such
freeze, in this part of the state we had
a light frost which blackened the leaves
of sweet potato vines, but did not kill
the vines. So far we have not seen
anything else that was at all touched
by frost.
If there has been any serious damage
to vegetable crops we should like to
have reports of the facts.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. %, 1906.
This Weeks Paper.

Mr.. Wright knows something about
growing camphor and tells it to our
readers this week. We have more to
say about it elsewhere.
Two subjects occupy a large portion
Of our space this week. We again
urge all who are in need of hay or
green forage to try alfalfa Read the
articles about it in this weeks paper.
This week we again take up the mat
ter Of parcels post, which we consider
one Of the most important questions
before the American people, or at
least that portion Of them who are
agriculturists. Elsewhere we try to
answer some Of the arguments against
the system.
This week we have an unusual num-
Der Of short articles on various phases
Of the orange business
The possibilities of a small garden
are we'll described in an article which
we copy, this week, from an exchange.
Those who have an idea that Florida
sand is not capable of yielding prohta
bic crops, will do we'll to read what
has been done in case Of an abandoned
grove in South Florida.
The Importance and need of a tele-
phone on the farm were never more
clearly shown than in an article which
we print this week.

Late Oranges.

1t must be a source of deep regret
to the orange growers Of this state
that our climate does not allow us to
grow oranges which will compete with
the Valentia Late oranges of Califor-
MIA
The last number of the Fruit Trade
Journal, dated Nov. II, contains an
editorial entitled, Record California
Orange Prices' 1t is stated that the
receipts Of California oranges for the
week we're II cars. One lot Of Old
Mission brand OF Valentia Late sold
for $3.50 per box, the highest price of
the season. There were three cars Of
this brand offered which brought for
Fancy, $500, 1914, and $500; choice,
SIG, $7.19, and $6.67; and standard,
$500, $3.50 and $5O1.
It says that another week will prob
ably close up the season for Va1entia
Late oranges, and the experience OF
this year will probably lead to earlier
shipments on the part of most growers
OF this variety. But certainly the ship
pers Of the Old Mission brand have no
reason to complain or to make any
change.
On the other hand the very best Of
Florida oranges brought no more than
from $500 to 1926 per box While
the ordinary run of common fruit sold
for from $500 to 1915 per box, and
poor stock as low as $1.6O to $1.8O
Florida can grow as good oranges
as the sun ever shone upon, and when
thoroughly ripe and properly packed
and put on the market they do not

that as good an article, as any found
elsewhere, can be made from Florida
grown trees. When we consider that
the price has now reached an almost
phohibitory height, so that manufactur-
ers say that they must have relief or go
out of business, it does not seem that
any one would question the advantage
Of planting camphor trees.
There are thousands Of acres of land
in this state which have very little
value, for any present farming purpose,
which will grow the trees with less
care than is given to any farm crop,
for the first two or three years, and
after that would require no care be-
You'd gathering the tops for the still.
We do not think that Mr.. Wright's
distance of ten by ten feet is too close,
in fact, if we were setting, we should
set much closer, not to exceed three
by eight Or ten feet. Then after cutting
began, we should cut out every other
tree or every third tree, close to the
ground each year. This would give
those which were left, room to grow,
while the stumps would sprout TIP
quickly and be ready for their turn
again in one or TWO years.
In this way there would be a con-
slant succession of crops and the value
Of the crop would be greater each year
as the roots grew stronger and furnish
ed larger growth Of tops.
At the meeting of the Florida State
Horticultural Society, last May, DR..
Walker, of Huntington, Fla, set forth
al these advantages of the camphor
business, having with him specimens
of the gum that had been made from
Florida trees. He made one state
ment which takes away the last pos
sible objection to testing the value of
the camphor business. Some would
express the fear that the trees will
occasionally be killed by freezing. DR..
Walker stated that even if this hap
pened, the tops could still be used, as
freezing did not take out the camphor
gum.

those OF one storekeeper or of one or
two hundred consumers who patronize
| him? Yet it is not certain that a par
GELS post would be any real injury to
the country merchant It would COM
pei some of them to be satisfied with
a smaller percentage of profit on some
articles, yet they themselves would be
helped in many ways they do not now
think possible Those who have in
lvestigated the system in foreign coun-
tries, report that before it was es-
tabllshed, the small storekeepers were,
as in this country, very much opposed
to it, but that since it has been in use
| they have found it a great advantage
to their own business and are enthusi-
astic in its support.
In an article which we quote this
week arguing against a parcels post,
| it is said that it would ruin the retail
ers who are a necessity to the country
consumer. We do not believe it, at
lany rate the argument that the retailer
gives credit ought to be reason for
breaking up his business. If the farm
ers could not get a cents worth of
goods on credit they would be better
! off. Oh course, it would cause some
hardships at first, but buying every
thing for cash would effect such a
saving in the cost of living that in
a short time they could not be induced
to go back to the old way Some years
ago farmer in Ohio, writing to an
agricultural paper told Of his way of
beginning the cash buying system. If
we are not mistaken in our recollec-
ton, he borrowed the money to begin
buying for cash, and soon found that
by paying cash and buying in large
| quantities, he not only would save
more than the interest, but large
margin Of profit besides.
The argument is advanced that it
will cost SO much. In answer it is
shown that if the railroads were COM
lpelled to carry the mails as cheaply as
| they do the matter for the express
| companies, there would be a large
surplus towards the expense Of carry
| the parcels post packages. No one
proposes that the government shall do
| the business at loss, everywhere that
it has been introduced, it has proven
very profitable to the postoflce de-
lpartment. We have no doubt that the
same thing would happen in this coun-
TRY. Years ago it cost 5 cents to carry
| a letter a short distance. There was a
! deficiency then, but the reduction OF
rate did not increase it, on the contrary
the deficiency was reduced by the in
crease of business The carriers on
the rural free delivery routes now have
very little to carry, their loads might
be quadrupled and still they would not
be overburdened, while the postage
on the extra packages would go far
toward making these routes self-sup-
porting.
| We do not believe that it would be
necessary or wise to establish par
GELS post at a flat rate Of postage for
the whole country as is the case now
with letters, ETC. Make the rate ac-

stand second to any other variety or
brand. Why it is that Our growers
will not learn the lesson is one of the
wonders OF the age.
