lows:
The census report showed between
100000 and 100000 bales more than
we had been expecting and had been
discounted by the generality of op
orators. In so far as the report itself
is of any value in arriving at an es-
,imate OF the seasons yield, opinions
Will differ.
No safe comparisons can be made
with the figures of previous years be.
cause the seasons were the same, es-
pccially as regards the weather for
picking and marketing the crop, or
the supply and demand or market con
ditions. Some regard today's report
as very bearish, indicating crop Of
t2 500 900 while others believe It only
tends to confirm the more Conserya.
tive estimates of il,500,00O
We will. however. stand by our es,
timato Of ll,5OO,OOO to l2,0OO,OOO bales,
An analysis Of today's figures show
that the total has been swclled chief.
ly by the rapid picking and market
ing of the Texas crop. Also it is well
to remember that the total amount
of the cotton ginned last year for the
season was but lO,575, 900 bales and
the difference between that amount
and the total commercial crop of IL,
$50. 900 bales resulted from the mar
keting of the heavy surplus OF carried
over cotton in the south from the pre-
vious season
In the heavy selling movement today
prices scored maximum decline oi
30 to IS points from last nights clos

The Local Market.

The local cotton market opened this
morning at from 1915 to 1850, which
has been the price for the past few
days. The market quickly took a drop
and in a few hours was off 20 points.
The bureau report which came about
noon caused another drop of twenty
points in the local market, making a
fall IN the price of about two dollars
per bale since this morning. The mar.
ket this afternoon late was from 1925
to 1890 cents per pounu.

If the boy happens to have a saw
ings bank account let him use his own
money to start with; if not, either pre-
sent him with enough money to give
him a start, or loan it to him, taking
his note, as a matter of business, and
let him pay it back out of the profits
of the venture. After he is once
started, give him to understand that
it is up to him to keep it going, en-
couraging him, of course, in every
way possible. Teach him to be self
reliant and Independent. Advise him
when necessary at times, and help
him in his correspondence, but do this
simply as an adviser and not as die
tator. If he meets with success,
which he surely will if he attends to
business, give him full credit for his
success, and mus encourage MIN TO

Growers Stand Out for Their
Price.


1t is said that the orange buyers are
now very numerous in the growing
sections around Tampa, all making
an effort to secure as much of the ap-
preaching crop as possible.
Information from the west coast is
to the effect that the horde of buyers
are taking advantage of the prospects
for a good crop by trying to keen the
prices down to the lowest possible
figure. Seventy cents box is
said to be the prevailing price offered
for the fruit on the trees over that
way, which price the people are
promptly declining to consider. The
growers declare that they will let the
fruit remain on the trees and rot be-

fore they will sell at any such price
as this
The crop is a good one, although it
is not extensive, as the producing area
is not near so great as it once was,
but the buyers seem to have a combi-
nation by which they are trying to
hold the price down. The growers de-
clare that they evil not sell at any
such prices as those that are offered
now, and as a result very few trans
actions in this section have been re-
corded.-Tampa Times.

Poultry Keeping for Boys.

Poultry, contains an unusual amount
of good advice on the subject of poul-
try keeping, and especially for boys:
The man of today is the boy of the
past; the boy of today is the man OIL
the future. 1t is important that the
man-to- be is not only kept in good
physical condition, for sound body
is one of the essentials of a success
full life, but that his mind, his tai
ents, his natural ability be so devel
oped and strengthened that when The
time comes that he must, or should
take up the burdens, commercial and
social, Of his seniors, he will be fully
equipped for the undertaking. His flu
ture depends to very great extent
upon the training he receives during
his boyhood. The critical time in a
boys life is the period intervening
between his fifteenth and twentv-first
years. If he can be carried safely
through this period his future is prac
tically secure.
No boy should be brought MP in
idleness, whether his parents be rich
or poor Some one has said, 'Evi
thoughts intrude in an unemployed
mind as naturally as worms are gen
Grated in stagnant pool" This is
all too true, and many a boy has
grown UP to be an evil-minded, Iicen-
tious, good-for-nothing fellow, a dis.
grace to his parents and a social out
cast, simply because he had nothing
to occupy his mind in his boyhood and
youth. TO be sure he may have gone
to school, and may have had other
duties to him were irksome-to
perform, but the whole thing was
drudgery to him, and he went through
his daily routine simply because il
was compulsory that he should do so.
The average boy of today is pre-
cocious, energetic, wide-awake, ambi-
tious fellow, filled with the American
enthusiasm that has made our nation
the greatest in the world, and if his
thoughts, his energy, his ambition
are turned into the proper channel he
is bound to succeed, make a name fo1
himself and be an honor to his par.
ents.
AT the age of twelve to fifteen years
the boy has reached the fork in the
road His future depends-not alto
gether upon his choice, but rather up
on the advice and teachings Of his
parents. He is full of energy and il
must have an outlet. He can play
baseball, football, golf, etc., all of
which are beneficial But there must
be something more than this. There
must be something to occupy his
mind and prevent the intrusion OF
evil thoughts and the formation OF
habits that may later curse his very
life. The cigarette, the saloon, the
public dance hail. the billiard hall, the
gaming table-all these things attract
the boy who has nothing else to occu-
py his mind and his time, but to the
boy whose time is fully occupied and
whose mind is kept busy with matters
that interest him, there is practically
no attraction in the above.
1t is not necessary that at the early
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-10


should choose his future vocation, or
that it should be chosen for him, but
he should be caused to become inter
eSted in something that will teach him
to be self-reliant and independent, and
given to understand that he is the
man of the future INSTEAD of load
ing him down with duties that are
distasteful and irksome to him, and
which he will shirk at every opportu-
nifty, get him interested in something
that will keep him busy and at the
same time give him somewhat of a
business training. There are instances
of course, where it is necessary that
the boys help their parents about the
house, the farm, or the place Of bust
ness. This they should do. We are
referring to the boys who have no
thing in particular to do outside OF
school hours and seek places OF
amusement and associate with evil
companions just to pass the time
away.
1t is an easy matter to interest al
most any boy in the breeding of poul
try. There is a fascination about il
that appeals strongly to the average
boy, especially if he is placed at the
''head'' of the business. Once get him
interested, and he will have no time
for the saloon or the dance hall, but
will spend his spare time with his
poultry or reading poultry litera ture
AS we said above, there is fascina-
ton about it that attracts his atten
ton and holds it. His boyish enthu-
siasm must have an outlet, and we
know of nothing else that affords a
better outlet for the pent-up enthusf.
assn of bOyhood and youth than the
raising of high-class fowls. There is
just enough chance or gamble about
it to make it intensely interesting. We
are a nation of gamblers-nOt as the
term is commonly used, but we Ameri'
cans are attracted by any proposition
that has about it an element OF
chance, and this trait manifests itself
in the boys at an early age some
times. Were it not for the uncertain
ty attendant to the production of prize
winning fowls the industry would lose
it's interest to a great extent.
The boy who is permitted to EN-
bark in the poultry business is bene
fitted in many ways. Not only is his
mind and time occupied, but if he is
given full charge Of the ''plant'' he al
once becomes a factor infinitesima
though it may be-in the world OF
commerce: he becomes interested in
business methods and of necessity re-
ceives a schooling that will help to fiji
him for the duties Of his later life.
He studies the science of advertising
learns to write business letters, keep
books, drive a bargain, and by CORE
spondence and personal contact he
learns the peculiarities and whims and
idiosyncrasies of people generally. All
this will prove valuable to him in
later years, when he is perhaps en-
gagged in some mercantile or manu-
featuring business, or even working
for Soma ono else

VIEW DOCTRINE WITH ALARM
Science Has Made Great lnroads
Upon Orthodoxy

''If Mrs. Eddy was a prophet, John
Wesley was a fraud" said Rev. r. l..
Bruce yesterday, who read paper on
science and healing as advocated by
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, at the
Methodist ministers meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Bruce gave his version of
the writings of Mrs. Eddy, which was
well taken by the ministers, and at the
conclusion of the paper a lively dis
cussion was held, with the admission
that the Christian Science doctrine was
making considerable inroads into the
ranks of orthodoxy.
Chaplain G. w. Wilson of the Sol
diers' home expressed his belief that
orthodox Christians did not unite with
the Christian Scientists, to which Rev.
Harry White replied, saying: "I have
known of many, and the question is a
grave one. How can we prevent them
from taking up this belief?"
Rev. Mr.. Bruce, in his closing COM
ments, said:
when person once goes into Chris
tian Science he seems to lose all his
common sense, and you cannot argue
him back to- orthodoxy. I know that
many persons are going from the ortho-
dox churches to embrace this faith, but
do not know what we are to do about
it, 1t seems that spiritual teaching
will not reach them. We must argue
with them and show them they are on
the wrong track"

NOT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Suggestion by a Herald Subscriber
as to Street Rail-

ARMADA, Dec. 3.-[Editor Herald
There Is a good deal in Mr. Murphy s
interview in Saturdays Herald, "Would
Retard City's Growth" In these days
of bossism and graft every available
material is eagerly used to strengthen
the political machine. On the other
hand, it is true that the great corpora
tions successfully evade or defy the
law, gathering with both hands the
lions share of the wealth-producing
but helpless public
What is the difference, whether we
are "held up' by official or unofficial
highwaymen? We lose our money just
as surely to one as to the other.
But is there not a way to undo the
knot other than to cut it? Public
ownership means a great bonded debt
with it's lifetime pull upon the purse
and the addition of strong link in the
chain of financial slavery. The vast
fortunes in private hands stimulates
sharp competition for investment II
the public would give liberal treatment
it could then demand liberal treatment.
Take street railways, for instance. Let
the city give the company the free use
of streets under reasonable restric-
tions and exemption from municipal
tax.
The city could demand and obtain
a lower fare than even public owner
ship contemplates. 1t could demand
the safe equipment of cars and proper
service. 1t could set price upon
deaths and maimings of different
grades through neglect or carelessness
of the company All these things, and
also the penalties, should be written
in the contract (franchise). The pen
atty should be for any violation of the
contract by the company that the city
should appoint an officer who should
assume control of the systems finance,
continuing the service as before, until
the net earnings amounted to double
the forfeits.
AS between this plan and public
ownership the public's balance sheet
would be like this: Credit for low fare,
safer service, the prompt payment of
death and accident losses and the saw
ing of sinking fund tax to pay bonds
and interest. Debit for the cash value
of franchises given free and for the
loss of tax on the company's property.
1t should also be noted that taxes are,
or should be- levied on wealth, while
low fares is a direct benefit to workers
and poor people. II. III. IL.
