ship canal across Florida, with other
canals as feeders thereto, all up and
down the peninsula.
I have never seen the field notes
or attitudes and levels of any survey
for a canal across Florida, still /
opfne that Colonel Hiram B. Crosby,
of Westchester, n. Y, once made such
survey from Doctors Lake, on the
st. Johns River, by way of Santa Fe
Lake to the Gulf, and found that
route easily practical for sea-level
canal. But now, while our Frank
Clark is trying for an appropriation
from the United States Congress to
make such a crOss-the-state survey,
let us hope that route will be by the
Withlacoochee, the Ocklawaha and st.
Johns Rivers; that the canal may be a
sea-level one, and of sufficient depth
to ditch the Gulf Stream across Flo
rida and that it will be let to the
lowest bidder to dig this canal; and
that a part of the franchises to the
contractor may be all of the phos-
pilates and other material of value
actually exacted en route, and an
equal share in all of the now over
flowed and consequently worthless
swamp lands reclaimed and dried by
the canal. Such an arrangement
would make the canal most economic
of construction, for the phosphates
dredged en- route will be enormously
valuable, and the reclaimed lands
the very best on this continent. Let
us hope this canal may be speedily
dug.

A Prosperous Industry.

Whenever we have had occasion to
mention the canning industry, we
have always expressed doubt as to
large factory being profitable. But
we do believe that small neighbor-
hood or farm canneries might make a
market for much produce that would
otherwise go to waste We are very
glad to find this week, an account of
such an enterprise which is prosper
ing. The Palatka News says:
The peach and tomato canning in
dustry of the Price brothers, near
Melrose, is a bigger thing than most
people in these parts have any idea.
From $4,000 to 10000 pound cans of
tomatoes and peaches have been put
up by these brothers this season, and
had the total been double that amount
an easy market would have been
found
The Price neighborhood is a mile
OF: two south Of Melrose. There are
five brothers, and each has a cannery,
putting up some 5000 to 10000 cans
each The cans are neatly labeled
and make an attractive package. A
ready sale is found for them not only
in Palatka but in Waldo, Gainesville,
Melrose and other nearby towns. One
Palatka dealer recently purchased 800
dozen cans, and says he is going to
want more soon.
The Messrs. Price are high-class
farmers and their canning factories
are the perfection of neatness. They
grow their own tomatoes and peaches,
and by this method find a profitable
market for all they can raise.
Mr. Nathan Price, who, with Mrs.
Price. was in the city Tuesday, was
the originator of the canning business
in his .neighhorhood, and is the larg-
est Individual Gamer. He has put up
about 10000 cans this year, and could
easily i, find market for double the

How to Cure Foot Rot.

Foot-rOt in citrus trees can be per-
manently and effectually cured. It
requires some careful attention and
some small expenditure, however.
The first thing to remember about
foot-rot is that it is contagious Any
instruments used in working around
foot-rot tree are apt to cOmmun1-
cate the disease to any other tree
around which they may be used, or
if a certain tree is affected with foot
rot, and instruments are used in
working this diseased spot it is apt
to communicate the disease from this
diseased spot to some well portion of
the tree with the instruments.
To cure foot-rot the first step de-
sirable is to remove the soil from
around the crown of the tree, thus
exposing this portion to the air. The
second is to use some anticeptic wash.
Usually the orange grower cuts out
the diseased portion and then applies
the wash referred to. When the
wound has healed thoroughly, fresh
soil may be thrown about the tree
The anticeptic wash is made up of
various compounds. One of the COM
pounds used is, one part crude car
bolic acid and about four parts water;
mixing these thoroughly and then
washing off the part of the tree that
has been laid bare by the cutting out
of the disease.
Another way Of stopping the disease
is to remove the soil from around
the crown much in the same way
that it is done where the trees are dis
eased and then applying a compound
composed of one part sulphur and
about four parts land-plaster, mixed
with enough water to permit it to be
applied easily with a brush When
this form of anticeptic wash is used
no attention is paid to cutting out
the disease and all the trees that are
supposed to be affected are treated
This last form has been used on hun
dreds and probably thousands of
trees with excellent results. Where
a tree is almost girdled with foot-rot
it is best to- resort to the cutting out
treatment.-P. H. Rolf.

Right Kind Of Immigration.

immigra ton, there is no doubt that
additional population would be desir-
able if it was of the right character.
We find the following in one of our
exchanges, the credit is so mixed that
we will not attempt to straighten it
out but leave that to our readers.
AS the subject of immigration is
attracting general attention through
out the South, and as securing the
right kind of immigrants is of vital
Importance, any real, practical expert
ence in this direction is valuable and
will be read with interest everywhere.
The following article from the South
ern Farm Magazine of Baltimore, is
timely and suggestive and should
command the attention of all who
are interested in this important sub
ject:
Mr.. r. B. Herbert, chief clerk of
the South Carolina Bureau of In
migration, on his return from Europe
was quoted in the Charleston News
and Courier as follows:
''In the summer of 1904 I went
on my own account to Scotland, and
Commissioner Watson got me while
there to do some pioneer work for
his department. Acting on his advice
| arranged an agency in Glasgow and
did small amount of advertising the
resources of South Carolina. During
many people from Scotland, some of
whom are now prosperous in South
Carolina
Of his subsequent work Mr.. Her
bert says: '"Ehe experience of the
department has been that the people
of British Isles are desirable immi-
grants, and for that reason it was
arranged for me to proceed first to-
Scotland and to attempt to extend
the work there and in England and
Ireland I, therefore, left here in
March and landed in Glasgow in
April 2. Acting under Commission
Err Watson's instructions, [ at once
had published a pamphlet setting
forth as clearly and concisely as pos
sible the advantages South Carolina
has to offer the laborer and the home
seeker. I also inserted ADVERTISE
ments in the newspapers, nearly all
of which gave Emigration to- South
Carolina favorable mention in their
news columns. AS a result of this
| had a great many people to call for
literature and information about the
state. Some Of these people have
already come to South Carolina,
| Others have engaged and paid for
their passage. and still others have
expressed their intention of coming.
However, as I have already said, it
is too soon to judge Of results. |
believe that the efforts Of the de-
partment in the British Isles will
from now on bring a number of de-
sirable people to this state, and Com
missioner Watson's decision to work
in Europe, in the home Of the emf
grant, rather than in New York, so
far as foreigners are concerned, has
been proven to be the correct solution
of the question.

New York, Oct. 29.-Andrew Oar
negie returned from Europe yester-
day. When asked if he thought
it possible that President Roose-
welt would run for a third term,
he said he thought it was question
on which he would perhaps have moth
ing to say. But he said there was one
contingency which the president would
be in duty bound to respect.
"Suppose,'' said Mr.. Carnegie, s that
the republican convention resolves that
there will be no other standardbearer
and dominates the president and then
adjourns. There would arise the con-
tingency. If the president failed to
respond, in the opinion Of all who be-
heve the triumph Of the republican
party is best for the land, he would be
adjudged recreant to his country
Z The first question Mr. Carnegie asked
on his arrival was: nWhat is the bet
ting on the election?''
When he was told that it was 8 to j
against Hearst he said: 'tNew York
would be disgraced by the election of
a man who used such methods as has
Hearst. The working man should no
tice that money is doing it all. With
out money Hearst never would have
been heard Of. He uses money to ad.
vance his own selfish interests, which
are base.'

which there is no possible relief in

The people in this country who sell
goods to the Canadians are writing
Stirring letters to the department ask
ing how in the world to send packages
by express to their customers in Can
ada without delay in the delivery.
The department is gravely answering
them by saying that the trouble is on
the other side of the boundary. An
experimental package was sent from
Washington not long ago addressed to
q person in the Dominion, with the
charges prepaid. The package could
nave reached it's destination in sixteen
hours if sent the same distance in this

package was exactly one month in
reaching the man for whom it was in
tended. In the same way it was found
that American newspapers and period

hand in delivery at the same point.
No definite solution of the matter
was ach1eved by the department, and
none is offered. But In a statement re-
