PARIS, January 6, 1906
|ABULOUS prices were bid for the
pictures gathered together by the
fnancier NJ. Cronier, whose sensa-
tiolal failure and tragic death
three months ago here In Paris
created so much establishment. These art
treasures were the last scraps of his enor-
nous fortune, which his creditors are divid
ing among themselves. 1t is many day
since there has been such excitement over
sale of paintings and works OF art gener-
ally as was experienced over this Cronier
affair.
The collection was exhibited at the George
Petit galleries two days before the dis
posaI of the effects to the highest bidders.
1 arrived at the Rue de Seze little after
the hour appointed for the opening of the
doors and found the street lined with
fashionaby dressed crowd. 1t was like
monster reception in the streets. Every
body knew everybody, compliments were
exchanged, and people firted and joked
obiivious of the fact that the trades-peo-
pie were standing open mouthed at their
doors. The grocers and vegetable dealers
got a better idea of society manners than
could be CLEANED from thousand cheap
novels. They heard real counts and coun
tesses talk and laugh and Were doubtless
amazed at the simplicity of their language
ard the 1oudness of their voices For this
class have an idea that people in the higher
society talk in whispers. They discovered
their mistake, for all the street could hear
particulars of a recent scandal and the
opinions of the acquaintance of the bride
OF but a few days. People talked as freely
during the hour they waited as if they had
been at an lat home" But it's the same
all over the world.
There was great rivalry in purchasing
Illustrated catalogues for the sale. as they
were sold off at once. These catalogues
are bought for collections and care
fully put by, jealousy guarded as curiosi-
ties and also as certificates of the works
of great masters. They attest their passing
from hand to hand and form a civil register
for later buyers. The masterpieces of NJ.
Croner richly deserve this honor. He was
very particular as to the period and genre
and admitted to his collection only works
of indisputabIe worth and authenticity.
Many of these paintings will find their way
to your country, as many Americans were
among the successful bidders.
There are other sales even more enticing
to the average feminine than paintings,
works of art no less but of the sartortal
order And now is the time to gather in
harvest of these good things at excep-
tionally reasonable prices. Lingerie particu-
larly appeals to womankind at the midwin-
ter sales. In these fastidious days 1t no

near the center front and one each side of

fun. A dog with his head in a red bandana

Large Bunch of Grapefruit.

Decidedly the largest and handsom-
est bunch Of grapefruit ever seen in
Jacksonville is now on exhibition at
the store of the Consolidated Fruit
Company, West Bay Street, between
Hogan and Julia Streets
This bunch, the beauty of which is
added to by number of leaves scat
tered here and there through the
bunch, contains forty-two fruit, and
was grown on Captain D. E. Max
wells place, near Melrose, on Lake
Santa Fe.
On the same branch from which this
monster cluster Of fruit was gathered
were two smaller punches containing
thlrty-three fruit, all OF which can be
seen at the store of the Consolidated
Fruit Company
Mr.. Walter Hawkins, manager Of
the fruit company, stated yesterday
that this is the finest bunch of fruit
he has ever seen, and he has travelled
all over the state, visiting the prin-
clpal groves. Mr.. Hawkins is ham
ding Captain Maxwel1's output this
season, which will be exceptionally
large.
Yesterday afternoon a photograph
OF the bunch was taken, and several
OF the pictures will be on exhibition
here this winter. This bunch of fruit
is well worth going many blocks to
see.-Industrial Record

acres OF vegetables were lost and some
fruit blown from the trees
The past season N. Price, Of Melrose,
canned 1880 three pound cans OF toma-
toes and 5000 cans of peaches, all Of
which he sold readily.
The late cool snap has had the effect
OF ripening and coloring up the oranges
and grapefruit and the crop is now be-
ginning to move in earnest.

of oranges from Auburndale so far this
season, having sent out three cars

An immense strawberry acreage has
been planted in the Sanford section this

More hay is being harvested about
DeLand this fall than for any previous
year, and it is just as good hay as ship
ped from the West, and for which one
must pay $50 per ton. This making
hay at home saves the grower many
dollar.
Pecan growing in Florida should be
profitable. Timothy Kimball, OF New
Cadlx, near Veteran City, has an Or
chard OF eight trees which last year pro-
duced crop of 400 pounds, which
found ready sale at 10 cents a pound
Mr.. Klmball expects a crop of over
900 pounds the coming season.

Truck Notes.

1t is said that oranges are a month
later than last year at Lakeland.
At Indianola oranges are coloring
nicely and the crop will be good
Some small shipments of pines are
being made daily from White City,
which are netting from 81 to Sc.
A. Y. Fuller, of Winter Garden, has
raised a navel orange that weighs one
and one-half pounds.
Pears are still being shipped from
Chokoloskee, and are netting good
figures for the growers.
Dover will this year ship $4,000
boxes of oranges, mostly brights,
against only 1000 shipped last year
Fhe weather at Sanford recently has
been very fine, especially for lettuce
planting and the truckers are very
busy.
Grapefruit and orange shipments
from Fort Myers last week amounted
to 9,458 boxes, making a total of A.
069 for the season.

it is the sincere desire of the grow
ers to maintain the standard.
Some partially green fruit has been
shipped to the markets, but most Of
the growers are holding on to the
fruit to such an extent as will justify
Shipment
Reports from sections of the state
indicate that the white fly pest has
played havoc with some Of the groves,
but such is not the case in Polk
county. 1t is true that many growers
have been bothered with the insect
but they have intelligently studied the
situation, and in consequence the white
fly has not gotten in it's deadly work.
1t is quite evident that the interest
in orange growing is not tagging in
the least, as the Record within the
past few weeks made mention Of no
less than a dozen transfers of fine or
ange grove properties located in va
rious portions Of the county. In these
instances the groves have ranged in
size from five to thirty acres, and the
purchasers paid good sums in or E
to secure the desired property.
On foot at the present time several
deals in grove property are hanging
fire, which will very likely be consum-
mated before many days.-Polk County

The Orange Crop.

Practically every orange grower in
the county has either begun the work
OF harvesting his orange crop or is
making arrangements to take up all
or part of the task within the next
few weeks.
The orange groves throughout this
section never looked in a finer condi-
ton, and the growers to a man are
pleased with the outlook. The prices
that have been ruling are good, and

Syrup Making.

The Tampa Times published an ar
tlcle which contains some good recon-
mendations However, we should not
limit it to the vacinity Of Tampa, but
say that syrup when we'll made and
properly put up, finds a ready market
in any part of the state. If you will
plant Japanese cane, you will not need
to renew it each year as is the case
with the common variety, while the
quality of the syrup is better.
We note in the current news of the
state that a syrup company at Grand
Ridge, Fla, has made and divided
among it's stockholders a profit of
30 per cent on it's operations for the
past year. No details accompanied
the item that came under Our obser-
walton, but it is fair to infer that
the statement was correct The
Times has always maintained that
the manufacture of syrup on a COM
mercial scale would be profitable in
any locality in South Florida, pro-
vlded it was managed with anything
like good business sense There ought
to be hundred such factories in this
section of the state, for there is a
practically unlimited market for their
product if it be as good as it might
be made. Properly timed and at
tractively labeled; always up to high
standard, it could be jobbed at 50 cents
to 60 cents per gallon and would afford
a very handsome profit over it's cost.
Any cane planter, or very small
combination of planters, could start
such an enterprise and test it's money
making properties very easily. It
has been done in many places in south
Georgia and upper Florida, and there
is no question but we produce larger
and better cane in this section, and at
a less cost 1t is not particularly to
the credit of this section that the in
dustry has not been taken up more
widely and earnestly. It is not even
yet certainly known whether or not
it would be profitable We do know
that we have all the circumstances
which promise proft-cheap cane,
cheap methods, cheap labor and an
abundant market.

fact that agricultural colleges have been
established in the larger number Of the
states, the work of which has already
been immensely useful. Few young
men from the farms, however, can
afford the expense Of course in such
institutions. In many places, conse-
quently, there have been established
schools in which no tuition is charged
to poor young men who are serious in
their intention OF making agriculture
a life occupation. In such schools,
both scientific and practical knowledge
is impaired. The idea being to put
agriculture on a par with what are
Gale the learned professions so far
as usefulness and dignity are concerned,
to put farmers on an equality with
others skilled in their respective occu-
pations.
This will have some effect in check
ing the tendency to go to the cities on
the part Of young men from the farms,
and to the frequent wrecking Of life
which occurs in all cities to a greater
or lesser extent This is part OF the
plan of making farm work more appre-
ciated in industrial, social and political
circles, and significant sign of the
evolution towards promoting higher
and richer life among the working mas
ses
The ambition OF young men in the
past has chiefly been to fit themselves
for the learned professions, mercantile
and banking pursuits or clerkships in
them or other enterprises, and not as
is now more manifest to seek to achieve
in the productive industries. The in
telligent and skillful in them are be-
coming more honored than those in
the legal and medical professions, or
engaged in the pursuits of literature
and art The important inquiry is,
what class does most for the human
species and contributes most to human
happiness? The answer must be the
class that contributes most to supply
human needs physical, mental and
moral
he best opportunities open to young
men are in the industries, greater in
out-of door work than in the confined
shops Of the manufacturing centers. 1t
has become more fully recognized than
formerly that our strongest and most
healthful men in muscle, brain and
heart are those who live most in the
open, in the presence OF nature, and
who manipulate growth from the soil
Of those products most needed and use
full to a people.
