Law VS.. Profit.

a subscriber sends a postal in re-
gard to our editorial on the subject OF
a state pure food law. He takes the
position that law is useless when the
question of profit comes in the way.
That will be the fault of the voters.
Let them insist that the legisla ture
shall pass stringent law on the sub
ject, and then elect officers who will
enforce it. 1t has been done in other
states, and can be done here We do
not expect perfection, in law or Off
Gals, but if the voters can be aroused
to sense of the Importance of this
matter they can bring about a very
great improvement in the condition
of the supply Of food offered for SALE
This is question which concerns
every one, and no one can shirk his
duty without injury to the general
public.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-09-12
Pure Food Law.

We have talked on this subject until
you are probably tired of it. Yet,
there is still much that may be said
The papers are full Of it. Several Of
our state exchanges have printed late
ly a circular sent out by the State
Commissioner of Agriculture, on the
enforcement of the law relating to
stock food. He proposes to enforce
the law strictly. The law is good
one, no one should be allowed to sell
corn cobs or Oat hulls for stock food
without specifying the facts ON the
tag But how about your children?
Are they not as near and dear to you
as your stock? If dealers must tell
the truth about stock food, why not
also require it to be told about what
the children eat?
From all that we see in the papers,
it seems to be the intention of Sec
Wilson to enforce the new laws to
the best of his ability. An official of
Tic DepdElIl1eul is repOTUcu 10 nave
said that adulterated foods are not
the most serious menace to customers
That aside from the food preserva-
tives and little deleterious coloring
matter, but little harm is DONE But
that it lis in The misbranding, the great
est injury is done. Pure leaf lard con-
tains cottonseed oil, Westphalia hams
are not put up in this country, etc., etc.
Probably large part of the canned
goods, sold as imported, are put up in
this country. That does not of neces-
sity make them any less desirable, but
they should be sold on their merits
and for what they really are, Ameri-
can goods.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-09-12

they are a serious menace to all citrus
fruit growers. They can be abated by
a combined affort Of all who are inter
ested in the prosperity of this great
industry. ALI trees, in door yards,
which harbor this pest, should be de-
stroyed. If spraying fails to control
them, then growers should try fumi-
cation. Though somewhat more eX-
pensive, at the outset, it does not re-
Quire to be repeated so often. It is
difficult to reach them by spraying, as
they are on the underside of the leaves
where the spray often fails to cover
the surface. With fumfgation it is i'm
possible for any, that are under the
tent, to escape.
The only hope of real relief lies in
the possibility of discovering it's
natural enemy or parasite. If that
could be done and it could be bred
here in sufficient numbers to control
the spread of the insect, there would
be more hope for profit in orange
growing.

This Weeks Paper

We have several good articles this
week. The one describing a lady's
experience with the st. Augustine
grape, is confirmation of the good re-
ports that have been made before.
Where it thrives, it seems to be de-
sirable variety, for home use, if not
for market.
Mr.. Keck's suggestion as to the rea-
contributions, may have some force.
In fact, we know it has in one case,
for we asked a prominent horticultu-
rist of this state, to write for the pa
per and he said that whenever he
wrote anything for publication he
was overwhelmed with letters of in
quiry, which took more time for an
swering than he could spare. There
is one way in which this could be
avoided. That is by putting in the ar
ticles unsigned. OF course, some of
them would lose in weight if the
author was not known. But a good
article would be appreciated though
the author was unknown.
Send in your manuscripts and we
will leave off the name if you prefer.
We devote much space, this week,
to articles about the white fly. More

Situated in the valley of the Hud-
SON near the foothills of the Berkshir-
es, with the beautiful outlines of the
Catskills in full view for over thirty
miles, is Orchard Farm Upon this
farm it's owner, George T. Powell, a
we'll known agricultural expert,
through the application of science to the
soil is bringing out some interesting
Developments. For $50 years the farm
was devoted to- the growing of general
agricultural crops, but thirty mine years
ago there was planted an apple orchard
of $50 trees, which apparently is in it's
prime, still bearing large crops of lus-
cious apples This was the beginning
of an extensive line of horticultural
and educational work.
Apple orchards have since been ex-
tended to over one hundred acres of
the land, and pilgrimages are now an
nually made in May by lovers of apple
blossoms to see the great display of
bloom and beauty with is promise Of
bounteous fruitfulness in the harvest
days of autumn. Through science
methods the soil has been greatly i'm
proved, and the use of modern machin-
cry has been one important factor in
it's accomplishment The wealth pro-
ducing power of the soil is but just
beginning to be understood by those who
have hot been it's possessors.
The Secretary of Agriculture has
made the statement recently that If

look back over the preceding decade,
ard if he will add the annual figures
of his wealth production he will find
that the farming element, or about 35
per cent of the population, has pro-
duced an amount of wealth within
these ten years equal to- one-half of the
entire national wealth produced by the
toll and composed of the surplus and
savings of three centuries.''
The products of American soil are
being used in increasing quantity in
foreign markets, and none is command
ing higher value than American ap-
Piles. The Hudson has long been noted
