claims, will be of inestimable value to
all citrus fruit growers.
Fig culture has been much neglect
ed of late years. We are glad to see
that an interesting is being awakened
again AS a people we do not eat
enough fruit, figs are relishable and
wholesome, and are very easily grown,
that is where the nematodes which
cause root-knot are not too numerous.
The white fly is still attracting much
attention. Mr.. Conner's article, from
the Reporter-Star deserves a careful
study.
The copperas remedy will not down.
this week we found in one Of Our seate
exchanges a formula for a cure for
white fly, which consisted of an ordi-
nary grade of fertilizer with the addl-
ton of something less than 200 pounds
Of copperas to the ton. AS we have
given articles which show conclus1vely
that copperas is of little or no value
for this purpose, we did not think it
worth while to quote the formula.

Brazilian Oranges.

We are to have rival in the orange
business where least expected. The
last Fruit Trade Journal contains a
long article on the subject of oranges
from Brazil. It seems that a business
house in New York has been growing
oranges in Brazil for some time. They
have just had a shipment sold at
auction in that city. The prices were
not high, so that they do not intend to
bring any more at this season. But
they claim there is a variety, grown in
Brazil, which weighs a pound each,
often more. AS their winter comes at
the time Of our summer, these Or
anges can be sent to this country from
March to August. AS they are so
large and are Of excellent quality, they
are expected to sell at wholesale for
eight cents each.
Of course, these oranges will not
interfere with Florida oranges very
much, but will seriously rival the late
California fruit. There is another
danger, if people are able to buy plenty
of oranges all through the summer,
they will not be SO eager for our fruit
in the fall The same company report
that pineapples of excellent quality
are easily and cheap1y grown in Brazil.
This is liable to interfere with the
profits of Florida growers.

Denatured Alcohol.

The papers which are published in
the interests of the sugar planters of
Louisiana, are full of matter about
denatured alcohol, which can be made
from molasses, and which they think
will furnish a profitable market for
what has long been a waste product.
We do not mean that no use was made
Of any molasses, but that the supply
so far exceeded the demand that much
Of it was absolutely waste product.
Sugar is not made on a commercial
scale in this state, now, but if this
alcohol can be made to take the place
Of gasolene in small motors and as an
1llum1nant, we are greatly interested
in its production.
It is generally believed that the
Standard Oil Company are figuring to
corner the production Of denatured al
cohol, and prevent its competition with
their gasoline. Congress can easily
prevent this by authorizing the build
ing of small distilleries and allowing
farmers to distill their own farm pro-
ducts as is done in Germany at this
time.
The outlook for the use of alcohol

We find an item in the Ocala Star,
under this title which we hope does
not exaggerate the efficiency of the pre-
paration.
DR.. J. G. Baskin and Judge T. J.
TltComb, of Dunnellon have made
dicovery that is sure to make them
fortune, and incidentally confer price
less boon upon the state of Florida.
The discovery is preparation which,
when sprayed in liquid form on an
orange tree, covered with smut, scales
or white fly, will clean the tree and
make it as bright and green as before
it was attacked by the enemy. This
preparation, when acted upon by the
sun, wind and air, causes the smut to
form in scales, curl up and fall or
blow off. The scale departs in the
same manner. Most of the white flies
are killed, and as the others settle
back on the trees they are killed by
that portion which adheres to the
leaves Unlike other preparations, this
one stays moist and will kill the flies
tor SIX hours after it is sprayed on the
trees, by which time every fy in or
near the grove has settled on the trees
and been exterminated. The prepare

A correspondent of the Farmers
Home Journal writing from this state
says:
The rainy season is now about over
and the cutting of the pea crop for
hay will soon commence in earnest.
The chufa crop is maturing rapidly and
is very fine; the hogs will be turned on
it in a week or two. The Italian chest
nuts are ripening and are very large.
The guava crop is the largest since
1895. Pineapples a good crop and
cholcer than usual. The corn crop has
generally been gathered and the beg

finest of pasturage for horses, COWS
and hogs. Our cold storage plants

said to be very good. The light is
brighter and much cheaper than that
from kerosene OIL
In this state sweet potatoes and cas-
sava will be found to produce large
quantities of alcohol at low cost. It is
probable that Japanese sugar cane will
also be found to be one of the cheapest
sources of alcohol.

A Cure for Snake Bite.

DR.. E. F. Brown, Of Lake City, Fla,
who has been a practicing physician
in this state for thirty-fve years
writes to the Florida Christian Advo-
cate as follows:
Il consider tincture of iodine a spe-
cifc in all cases of snake bite. My
method is to apply the tincture to the
wound, undiluted, and put ten or fiji
teen drops into a glass, adding one
teaspoonful of water for each drop OF
tincture, and give the patient one tea
spoonful of the rpixture every ten min
utes until the pain begins to grow less
severe; then every half hour, or hour,
as the case seems to require and con-
tinue this treatment as long as seems
necessary.
IF the bite is very bad one, I
would double the quantity.
About fifteen years ago was called
to treat a dangerous case of snake bite,
where the whisky remedy had been
faithfully tried and failed; and the
patient was terribly swollen and ap-
peared near dying, so gave the iodine
in one drop doses every five minutes,
and was gratifed to see a prompt,
rapid recovery. In twelve hours the
patient was able to resume her house
hold work, and suffered no further in
convenience from the snake bite.
Mine years ago, white lad, while
blowing for me, was bitten on the leg
by ground RATHER. | was from home
and did not see him for three or four
hours after he was bitten When !
did see him the leg was badly swollen
and he was in great pain. Being too
late to make an outward application
l put ten drops of iodine tincture into
ten teaspoonfuls of water, and gave
him a teaspoonful of the mixture ev-
cry five minutes, for a few times, then
heightened the time to half an hour
giving in all about twenty drops, and
the next morning he resumed his plow-
ing with no inconvenience.
Some years ago I happened in at a
trends home soon after his dog had
been bitten by monstrous rattle
snake and was thought to be dying,
but l gave him tincture of iodine in
five Or six drop doses, and in six

WEDNESDAY, OCT. II, 1906.
This Weeks Paper.

We have a long article this week
from the Indiana Farmer on the Flu
ture Of this Country There are
many points in it which should be of
much interest to you.
The "Green Fruit Question: again
comes to the front, and we quote from
several Of our exchanges, showing that
it is considered one of vital Importance.
Some good reasons for pruning your
peach orchard in the fall, are given by
Mr.. H. M. Stringfellow.
The article from the New England
Grower on The Comparative Qualities
of Oranges will interest every ship
per of citrus fruits, and is deserving of
careful study.
The stake and single stem method
Of training tomatoes has become gener-
al in Mississippi and does hasten the
ripening of the crop. 1t should be
more largely tested in Florida.
Those who turn their mich COWS on
the range to rustic for themselves will
have no interest in the story of a
Texas dairyman of his method of in
creasing the flow of milk.
We found letters from Florida in
two of Our exchanges. One tells of
large corn crops, can any Of Our read
ers duplicate the story? The other
from South Florida speaks of Italian
chestnuts ripening Are they being
successfully grown to any extent?
The varieties Of Japanese persimmons
grown in his neighborhood are quite
small, as he compares them with peach
es. In northern Florida we have very
few as small as an liberia on any
other common variety Of peach.
The Cure For Snake Bite comes
vouched for by reputable physician
1t should be cut out and put where it
can be found in case of need. Keep a
bottle of Iodine in the house, but get
a doctor as soon as possible.

growers, to be as good as the inventor

The County Conventions
What was Done by the DEM
ocratic Organizations in
the Various Counties this
Week.
From III bIa Record.

cratic conventions which met
throughout the state yesterday
to name delegates to the state
convention on the 18th are Of
interest as showing the temper
of the people-at least such a
showing as is colored by percola-
ting through the local politicians.
One of the most remarkable
features of the day was the action
Of the Edgetield convention,
which adopted resolutions unan-
imOusly endorsing Jim Tillman
for congress from that district.
This was incorporated in resolu-
tons endorsing the action and
work of Senator Tillman in the
state.
In every county where the pro-
position was put Senator Till
mans course in the senate was
endorsed, except at York, which
refused to do this by a narrow
majority.
1t is a significant fact that not
a single county endorsed the
Brice act. Marlboro, the seat of
prohibition, voting down reso-
lutions to that effect. On the
other hand a number Of counties
endorsed the dispensary as the
best solution of the liquor ques-
ton.
In York the fight On Senator
Brice failed, he being reelected
county chairman over w. H.
Stewart, who was put up to beat
him, by a vote of &c to AZ.
Aiken did not mention the dis
pensary, but adopted resolutions
for pure elections and secret bal
lots.
Anderson endorsed Senator
Tillman's course in the senate.
The Barnwell county CONVEX
ton endorsed the county-to-
county campaign and called up
on the state convention "tO define
and partIcularize the issues" to
be discussed by the candidates
for the Legislature. 1t condemned
Comptroller General Jones's
scheme to raise assessments and
advocated raising the levy in
stead If more money is needed.
Congressman Patterson was en-
dOrsed for re election.
Cherokee did not instruct its

ed to the dispensary.

Armed with wet sacks the fought the flames as best they could. There was a strong wind blow ing at the time and the wonder is that the entire field was not burned. For tunately the oats were almost sur rounded by ditches and with the aid of these which were more or less wet, and partially over grown with weeds, the men were able to confine the fire to a limited area and it did not cross any of the ditches and spread to the other grain.
