per cent should be shipped. The
rest Of the fruit should be canned, or
shipped in barrels for candy pur-
poses The growers would be bene-
fitted by steady, regular market, the
consumer would receive better
quality Of fruit for his money and the
handlers, packers, shippers and COM
mission men have a paying, legiti-
mate business. The only parties who
would not be benefited Immediately
would be transportation men and the
sharks in the commission business.
A large company would be able to
to do better handling and to make
better rates. Cuban pines are now
handled like saw-logs or lumber, and
the freight rates are unreasonable.
A baby can make money on Cuban
pines in April, but what is needed is
some reasonable way to handle the
crop after they become poor shippers
That occurs after our rainy season
sets in.
1t will only be few years before
we will have 100000 crates of pines
in Cuba, and it will go on up from
that The present manner of hand
ling the crop will largel " destroy the
growers and leave no profit to the
handlers of the CROP"

A Genuine Saving in
PAINT VALUE

MR.. A. L. RICE, Paint Maker,
Adams, N. Y, has discovered new
and more economical method of put
ting up paint and sells direct from
factory to user at saving Of 90 per
cent.
This paint is called Doub1e-wear, and
you really get $500 value for $1.25.
1t is put up in paste form and sold in
cans separate from the oil. Rice pays
the freight and if the paint on arrival
is not absolutely satisfactory, return
it at his expense. No strings to this
offer. If interested in saving IL to 34
of your paint money, write today to

His Best Two Years
BY JOHN L. MATHEWS.

1t was carnival time. The streets
of New Orleans were thronged with
sight-seers seeking places of vantage
from which to view the parade of the
Knights of Menus.
Canal street, the central thorough
fare, was brilliant with a myriad of
electric lights. Brightly Illuminated
trolley-cars filled the four tracks of
the neutral strip, and the grand
stands which covered the sidewalk
sheds were festooned with incandes-
cent lights. Laughter and song were
everywhere outdoors and every mo-
ment the happy throng was increased
by new arrivals.
But in the office of the World
Democrat was neither gaiety nor bril-
liancy. At his desk the city editor
ruefu1ly contemplated his assignment
book, and tried to imagine how, with
out hiring extra help, he was to carry
his paper through the next few days
to the elimination of Mardi Gras
without being badly "scooped"
| Yet hiring more men was out of
the question, for the managing editor
had fatty refused his latest request
to increase the staff. He was alone in
his office, save for two copy-readers,
and on his list were at least three as
signments that should be covered
The door opened and slender
youth of nineteen, with valise in his
hand, entered, and stepped up to the
desk
Excuse me, are you the city edi-
tor?" He spoke as quickly and as
nervously as he walked, but his voice
had note of unconquerable cheer
fulness that made it pleasant to hear.
He sat down and leaned forward.
"My name is Thompson, Wilbur
Henry Thompson. Here is my card,
sir. Let me see-what did you say
your name was? Duncan? Thank
you. Now, Mr.. Duncan, I've come
down here to work for you. I've
just come to town. You give me an
assignment right now, and I'll leave
my bag here and look up bunk af-
ter I get through tonight"
"Work for me?" exclaimed the
amazed editor "Why, my boy,
haven't any work for you! -
"No work for me?" interrupted the
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-01-16

visitor. "Why, Mr.. Duncan, there's
always work for me to do! I'm one
Of the best newspaper men you ever
saw The fact is, [ came down here
especially to work for YOU No work
for me? Look on that assignment
book and. tell me there's no work!
Now come, give me an assignment
and let me start"
The city editor had fairly lost his
breath. Never in his career had he
thus been besought, nor had he ever
before declined man whom he so
much desired at first sight to employ.
But he had his chiefs refusal fresh in
mind
"I'm sorry, Mr. Thompson" he
said, "but I have orders not to in
crease my staff I cannot take you"
"Is that alp" exclaimed the visitor.
"And all that work on your book?
Now see here, Mr. Duncan, I come
from Leake County, Mississippi. Ever
been in Leake? It's got more water,
sir, than any other county in the
state Yes, sir. You're going to
laugh. But it doesn't. Never a drop
leaks out, sir. Now, Mr.. Duncan,
I've got consumption. I've got it
bad The doctor up at Jackson says
I've two years to live if I take care
Of myself, but I can't be cured When
he told me that, I said to myself,
1.-TWO years! What cannot man do
in two years? Those shall be the best
two years of my life
''I'm going to make them the best
two years, Mr. Duncan I'm news
paper man. Trained on Joe Carrots
paper up in Leake. I looked all over
our exchanges for the best Southern
paper That was yours, sir. 'An
right I said. It'll go right down to
New Orleans and work for that pa
per That's why I'm here
THE best two years of my life,
Mr. Duncan Do you realize what
that means? And I'm going to give
them to YOU Now-now do you say

but the bulk of both are used up in
the local markets. Estimates that |
receive are, onions, $1,000 crates, and
potatoes, $4,000 barrels.
Future of Citrus Fruit Culture.
CITRUS fruits do not cut much
figure as yet, but the time is nearly
here when the citrus fruits Of Cuba
will be counted by the million boxes
The trees are in the ground, the
groves are growing as trees can only
grow in good soil and an all-the-
year growing season With our
summer rains and steady, regular
| warm weather trees do grow to
surprise a northern man. While
oranges and grape fruit are decided
leaders now, look for thousands OF
acres of lemons to be set out in the
next few, years Enough young trees
are now in bearing to clearly demon
strate that the finest quality of lem
ons can be raised in Cuba I tell those
contemplating groves that when they
put 10000 boxes Of oranges on the
dock in New York, they come in
competition with millions of the
finest fruit raised under the flag Of
the United States; but put 10000
boxes of good lemons on the same
dock, and the great competitor is
fruit from the south of Europe.
Pineapple Acreage Being Increased
Pineapples hold their own III Cuba,
and will for long years to come
The 1907 crop will be about the
some as the 1906 crop, about 1,ooo,-
600 crates-possibly 100000 crates
over that. The reason there will be
little or no increase is that the pines
will average smaller in 1907 than i'll
1906
The crop is good and conditions
favorable I do not think the CROP
will be as late as the past season
but there will probably be more sum-
mer and fall pines. They will mature
more irregularly than usual.
The old growers are increasing
their acreage each year, and, as {
rule, are prospecting. They are al
planting further out from Havana
each year. Transportation is better
and cheaper, and the old lands mus
have rest. Where we formerly pait
IL to IS cents freight per crate tt
Havana, we now pay 3 cents, an<
they come in by electric road.
Up to the last year there were NJ
pines from around Arti1nesa (fort.
miles southwest); 10000 will b
shipped in from Artimesa the coming
season, and over 100000 will COM
from there in 1908.
To illustrate individual increase,
purchased Suares' crop in 1899 on al
estimate of $4,000 dozen. I took
little over $4,000 dozen from hi
fields. The coming season Suare
will have 100000 dozen, and that will
be materially increased in 1908 b.
fields already set out
There are large number of grow
ers who have increased in like pro
portion, and, as said above, all ar
prosperous. In fact, the most pros
porous agriculturists in Cuba are tn
pineapple growers

not ask for any better prospects.
"The same rer ort comes from the
rich. heavy lands and the poorer,
sandy lands. Another very favora-
bic thing about the coming Cuban
crop is that the growers are very
much better posted in regard to gath
ering the vegetables than in past
wears. Each seasons experience has
added materially to the growers
knowledge, as to the proper stage OF
maturity, to give the best results n
arrival of their products in the mar
kets in the States. Another favora-
bic feature is the fact that there are
now good packing houses established
in all the important centers. These
houses are owned and managed by
frst-class men of experience in hand
ling Cuban vegetables. They have
fair supply of sorters and packers,
most of whom have had several years
experience here.
There are all along the lines better
conditions for growing, gathering,
packing and shipping than there have
been in the past
GUINES, THE GREAT VEGETA-
BILE DISTRICT
Guines is still the great vegetable
district of Cuba, but vegetables are
now grown commercially at many
other points, notably along the West
ern Railway for hundred miles OF
more.
At Guines they have splendid If
rigation in the bottom lands. Vet
at least half the vegetable crop of
Guines is grown on the hills above
the irrigation points. These hill
lands produce the very best of vege-
tables, but they are more uncertain
than the valley, as they must have
rains to make crop. Just now the
hill crops are. very fine; but if they
do not have rain in ten or fifteen
DAVIS, the crops will be very much
less than they will be if they get
showers. On the Other hand, the
valley farms do not want rain at all
they have their bitches and canals full
of water and can use it when neeced.
Tie one thing hey fear s too much
ram.
In the Guines valley thcr" is about
fifty thousand acres of irrigated land.
5. me thirty-fve thousand aires Of it
IS in sugar cane The o+Frr ',fteen
thousand are in vegetables and farm
rroducts It is probably as line a
.dy of irrigated land as there i, N
the world. Guines is some thirty
miles south-southeast of Havana.
The quantity of vegetables is grad
TALLY increasing each year. The COM
ing season the quantity will be be-
tween 100000 and 100000 crates, de-
pending on the season in the future.
A very few tomatoes are coming
in now, but only few will go for
ward before February Tomatoes
eggplant, peppers and okra are the
principal varieties raised, there being
more tomatoes than all others.
There will come off the Western
Railway some 100000, or more,
crates this season, and I look for that

THE MAN ON THE BON

There are indeed few producing theatrical managers in the United States who have not at some time met their Waterloo" There are eX- captions, but they are limited. It can De said to the credit of Walter N. Lawrence, who has been a producing manager for the past five or six years, that he has never brought out play that was not a successful one. Mir Lawrence is presenting Jameson Lee flnney as the star in the fascinating comedy drama The Man on the Box, which will be seen at Polls this evening, which developed into one of the most successful plays that has ever been brought forth in the United States for a long time. For almost an entire year it attracted au- diences filling the Madison Square theater to its entire seating capacity, Which must serve as it's strong recom- mendation to playgoers in other parts of the country, AIr Finney is known to be an accomplished actor of high attainments who has been prominent in his profession for the past ten years or more AS a comedian. MT Finney is unique. He is considered by those who are competent to judge as one of the cleverest and most yer satlle players associated with the stage. Prices Poe to $1.50.
