Perhaps the attitude OF Harvard

Here is one of the few. A mother

WORKMEN WANTED
BY THOUSANDS
BlGINDUCEMENTSMADE
Such Demand For Lab0rers Never
Known Before In History Of the
West-Thousands Needed.

The Northern Pacific is not the
only road that has decided to Offer
low rates to the west and northwest
in order to induce labor to enter
many fields where the demand is sc
great. A rate of s25 from Missouri
river points made by the Northern
Pacific, was announced several days
ago by the Sentinel. Yesterday morn
ing Passenger Traffic manager Fee
of the Southern Pacific company an
nounced that in view of the great de
mand in California for labor to care
for the crops and other work that
is offering. that company has decid-
ed to put into effect low rates from
all points east effective Monday, the
twenty-seventh, instant.
These rates will be one way rates
From Chicago the fare will be $31
from Omaha and Kansas City s25,
from New Orleans s31. from points
in Indian Territory. Kansas and Ne
braska $35, from New York $50 and
corresponding rates from other
points.
They will remain in effect until the
end of October.
There never was such a demand
for labor in the history of Californ-
la. Thirty thousand men. women
and children are needed to gather the
immense crops of grapes. hops, prun-
es and other fruits, and sugar beets.
The men in the lumber industry can
employ twice the present number in
the pine forests of the Sierra Neyadas
and the redwood forests of the coast
range The railroad companies want
at least years work.
In the rebuilding of San Francisco
thousands of carpenters, brichlayers
plumbers and in fact all classes of
skilled labor are badly needed. And
this number will increase as fast as
the architects and ground owners
can get plans ready for the steel
frame buildings that are going up;
over one thousand and fifty of which
have already been planned.

Tropical Fruits on the Florida
Keys.
By p. J. Wester.


The development of the culture of
tropical fruits i'm Florida dates from
1860 when Benz Baker, of Key West,
brought a small quantity of pineapple
slips from Havana to Plantation Key
The experiments turned out success
fully and the large profits realized
from the sale Of the fruit in Key West
soon induced others to engage i'm the
novel enterprise and plantations, large
and small, were gradually established
on all the principal keys.
Twenty years later, Captain Rich
ards set out the first ''patch'' at Eden
which henceforth has remained the
center of pineapple culture The
systemized cultivation of "Pines,'' as
the pineapples are popularity called
has developed mainly i'm ST. Lucie
county
RemOteness from the Northern mar
kets, lack of transportation facilities,
the rocky formation of the land and
absence of accommodation with
the progressive growers in other parts
of the state, all have tended to retard
the further development of the in
dustry on the keys, in a latitude that
is by exception from frost, or where
the damage rendered by low tempe. l.
ture is SO slight that it is scarcely
noticeable, situated more favorably
for the production of tropical fruits
than any other part of the United
States within reach of fast transpor-
tation.
The ever-present coralline rock and
the scarcity of soil renders clearing
and grubbing the land both impractic-
able and impossible, and all that is
accomplished preparatory to planting,
is cutting down and burning the native
vegetation
The first crop is pineapples, Ananas,
sativa. The slips and suckers are pre-
pared and set out wherever there is a
crevice in the rock, the base covered
with little soil. and are left to care
for themselves. The Red Spanish
variety is planted almost exclusively.
very few fancy pines being set out
The only attention the pinery receives
between the time of planting of the
slips and harvesting the fruit. is an
occasional pulling of the largest
weeds. No fertilizers are applied.
After eighteen months the first crop
is ready for the market Practically
all the fruit is carried from the field
to the landing in baskets The almost
total absence of tramways to facilitate
the handling of the fruit is a conspicu-
GUS waste of labor in contrast to the
practical methods employed in the
plantations on the mainland
Before the railroad extended to
Miami, the crop was moved via Key
west. but now a large portion is
handled by the Florida East Coast
Railroad. the fruit being brought to
Miami by schooners.
In four to eight years all available
plant food is exhausted from the
scanty soil, and the fields "run out"

overcome, by blasting, and the holes
filled with good soil, it is probable
that the luscious Indian varieties i'm
ported by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture could be grown at
a great profit, as the fungus enemies
of the mango are easily and cheaply
controlled by judiciOus applications of
Bordeaux mixture.
A marked contrast to the mango is
the sapOdilla, Achras sapota, which is
seemingly at home on the coral reefs.
1t is not uncommon to encounter trees

of eight or more inches, one foot above
ground.
At all times highly ornamental with
dense dark evergreen foliage, OCCASION
al trees become exceedingly so, where
the fruit at the approach of maturity,
is tinted on the cheek with brown and
FURNISHED gold The main crop is
gathered in the spring and early sum-
mer, but odd fruits mature during all
seasons.
The average size of the fruit is that
of small apple although trees are
growing carrying fruits twice as large
The variation in form, color and flavor
of the flesh is considerable. From fiat
and depressed, round and Orbicular,
fruits are found oblong to almost
pear-shaped. The color of the flesh
varies from pale Sea-green to yellow
and brown shades. The fruits from
some trees are watery and tasteless.
from others rich and sirupy; the pre-
valence of seeds is equally variable.
The color of the skin is russell i'm
various shades. A few trees bearing

owned by Mr. Eephas Pinder.
A not incOnsiderable quantity of
fruit is marketed in Key West and
Miami, and from the latter point dis
tributed over the east coast to Jack
sOnville. Few fruits reach beyond
this point No systematized attempt
has yet been made to place it on the
market of the great cities: though.

excellent keeping qualities it would
seem to justify such an effort. OF

periments conducted during the past
