Two Cent Fare or Lower Freight
Rates?

Two lent rare or Lower Fre1gnt
Rates?
A number of Our exchanges have
been calling the attention of their
readers to the fact that many State
Legislatures are passing bills requir-
ing the railroads to carry passengers
at rate of two cents per mile. The
general opinion seems to be that this
agitation all comes from an effort, on
the part Of few leaders in the u S.
Senate to punish the editors who, by
their persistence, compelled the pas
sage of the rate law, which was op-
posed by the Senator's friends the
railroads. With that end in view
they tackled on an amendment abol
lshlng all passes except to employ
ees of the roads, etc. But it seems
that stopping the passes also incensed
large class of small politicians, each
with more or less influence in his
own locality, and they in return took
revenge by starting movement for
would strike the roads in that tender
est spot of all, the pocket The idea
took at once with, the public and has
eliminated in a crusade of which the
end is not yet We have not the
slightest objection to the two cent
fare proposition In fact we believe
that if honestly carried out by the
railroads, the result will be sur
prise to them. 1t will be like the
reduction Of postage rates, years
ago-people wrote SO many more let
tiers that the revenue was increased
instead of being diminished 1t will
probably be the same way in this
case. There will be so much more
travel that dividends will be larger
rather than smaller. 1t is reported
that some railroad officials are saying
that if the people insist on two cent
fare, they will give them a two cent
service. They will no doubt find that
to be losing game. If attempted
the result will be harsher legislation
rather than any let up.
There is however another question
which interests our people in Florida
much more than lower passenger fare,
and that is lower freight rates. Some
States are already moving in the d.
rection of regulating freight rates.
The Florida Legislature could not do
a better thing for all the producers
of the State than pass a law requir-
ing the roads of Florida to reduce
their rates within the State lines.
Most of Our roads are parts of some
great system extending to Northern
Markets. There is no reason why
these roads should charge local rate
on through shipments and then an
other rate from some basing point
in Florida to the market California
fruit and vegetable shipments all en-
JOY the benefit of uniform rate from
all points to the Eastern market.

Florida's Summer Climate.

II the people in the Northern section
of the country who have been suffer-
ing from the extreme heat of the past
few weeks could be induced to come
to Florida and see for themselves how
much more pleasant it is here than
there it would result in thousands Of
them immigrating to- this state. Be
cause Our winters are so much milder
than in the North the opinion gen
orally prevails that the summers are
also CORRESPONDENCE warmer, hence
many people are deferred from making
their homes here 1t does not seem
to be understood that we are favored
almost constantly with the trade winds
from off the ocean or the gulf; that
Our nights are delightfully."- cool and
refreshing, and that sunstrokes are I'M
known here The most effective ad-
vertising the State could have wouio
be the wide dissemination Of the actual
facts regarding Our summer climate

ing taken into the circulation OF tree
III sufficient quantity to affect anything
which feeds upon it. Poisons may be
applied to the surface that will kill
any insects which feed upon the sub
stance of the leaf, but even these
cannot be depended on to kill those
insects which pierce the leaves and
suck the sap Sulphur is an excellent
thing to kill mildew on leaves, but
SO far as we know there is no evidence
that it is taken up by the sap of trees
1t is nearly or quite insoluble in wa
ter, and must be very slightly so in
the soil by any action of the roots.
The same writer also recommends
the use of large fires at night to catch
the white fly when flying from tree
to tree This is another mistake The
same idea was patented by some one
years ago, and lamps advertised which
were surrounded by vessel Of kerO-
sene oil into which the insects drop
ped But careful tests at the expert
ment stations proved that they were
worse than useless, for they caught
and killed more friendly, helpful insects
than they did of injurious species.

Where Did Our Insect Enemies
ORIGINATE?

Probably nine tenths Of the insect
enemies of the farmer and fruit grow
er are not natives Of the United
States, but were imported from some
other country. The only exception
which we can remember is the potato
bug, which is a native of Colorado
How much money would have been
saved, if we had maintained a strict
quarantine and inspected all importa-
tons of live plants and fruit.
TO mention only three instances,
we will call attention to the San Jose
scale, the gypsy moth and the brown
tail moth, which have been such an
expense to the New England states,
and the end is not yet in sight
California is now very careful about
admitting any live plants, but past care
lessness has cost them dearly
There are still insect enemies which
we need to look out for, or they will
yet be introduced and cause heavy
loss. An old proverb is, AN ounce
Of prevention is worth pound of
cure" 1t would be we'll to keep this
in mind, and not allow them to come
in You will find an article, from the
California Cultivator, on another page,
this week which calls attention to some
insects against which we should keep
up strict guard,

Farm and Truck Company at
Orlando.

Orlando, in Orange county, has or
gained a Farm and Truck Company
which is composed of some of the
best business men of Orange county,
AS a business proposition this has been
in the minds of few Of the Orlando
people for some time, but H. H. Dick
son, an honest and upright gentleman
of great executive ability, and a large
dealer in produce, was the first one
to take the matter in hand by calling
mass meeting of the citizens, who
were present in large numbers. Mr..
Dickson was elected chairman, and
K. J. Holly, manager of the Reporter
Star, was elected secretary.
The object of this company is to
purchase several hundred acres Of the
best land in the county and clear it,
and get it all ready for planting, and
then offer it for sale to home seekers
at reasonable price
This is no mOney-making scheme
but to show up the land in that section
of the State, SO as to induce settlers

Will You Do Your Part?

We are anxious to largely increase
the circulation of the Agriculturist du-
ring the next two months-in fact,
we would like to double it if possible
and to that end ask the cooperation Of
every present subscriber. If each one
would send in one or two new sub
scriptions, or the names of few Of
their friends who ought to subscribe,
and say a good word for the paper
when opportunity OFFERS we would
soon be enabled to make some much
desired improvements in which all
would be benefited Won't each sub
scriber do this, and ''do it today"

to go to Orange county and purchase
land and make homes.
This is one Of the best moves ever
attempted in Florida, and without
doubt will result in great many
home seekers going there, when they
can buy cleaerd land at a reasonable
figure
The Agricu1turist wishes the new
company the fullest measure of sue
cess, and will be glad to advance and
promote this movement towards the
immigration of farmers and truckers
to Florida.

Live Stock in Florida.

A subscriber in Ohio expresses sur
prise that such fine stock is grown in
Florida as that alluded to in the article
copied last week from the Breeder S
Gazette While there has not been as
much attention paid to improving the
breeds Of cattle and hogs in this state
as there should have been, it has not
been altogether neglected. At the
State fair at Tampa last fall as fine
specimens of cattle, sheep, hogs and
poultry were on exhibition as are
usually found at the Northern fairs.
OF course, they were not in such large
numbers, but in quality they were equal
to the best, and it will not be many
years until Florida will take high rank
as a stock producing state.

Fighting The White Flv.

A former Floridian, now a resident
of California, has written a letter to
a Miami paper on this subject He
does not believe in spraying, but thinks
that the real remedy consists in feed
ing the tree substances which will be
taken up by the sap and render it
poisonous to the insects The same
idea has been advanced many times
before, not i'll regard to white fly, but
to destroy other injurious insects.
But no evidence has ever been found
that it did any good. There is no
record of any poisonous substance be-

interested in remedy for San Jose

ticularly successful in breeding the red
head fungus, which is a natural en-
envy of this scale Mr.. Henderson's
success was very highly commended at

peach growers, and he will doubtless
take pleasure in giving information to
all inquirers.

Next Meeting of State Horticultural
Society.

President Rolls is sending out the
following letter to the members re-
garding the programme for the next
meeting OF the State Horticultural So
ciety. The wisdom Of this is to be
commended, and it should result in
the most interesting convention ever
held by the society. 1t is to be hoped
the members will give the letter
prompt consideration, and not delay
the matter because the date of the
meeting is SO far in the future.

We give in this issue the last of the
present series Of interesting letters OH
the jamestown Exposition from the
pen of Mr. Pabor. He will instead re-
sumo his "Timely Topics" department,
which is a popular feature of the Agr1>
culturist. During his stay at the En-
position Mr.. Pabor was one of the
jurors in the horticultural department,
and his work gave general satisfaction,
which was to be expected, because Of
his knowledge and previous experience
along these lines. 1t is not unlikely
that he may be recalled by the expo
sition management later in the sum-
mer.

the extortions Of the express COM
panies when they have the remedy in
their own hands. The enactment Of
a reasonable parcels post law would
settle the matter for all time.
Can you understand why the United
States, which is so enlightened in all
other respects, should be the only
civilized nation on earth that does not
have a parcels post?
Can you see why this government
can afford to carry parcel weighing
II pounds from any part OF the United
States to China, Japan, or almost any
part Of Europe, for foreigner who
wishes to send something back to his
friends at home, but cannot afford to
carry parcel of over four pounds from
one pOstOfhce to another for it's own
citizens while, worse than all, it
charges I6 cents per pound for do
nestle postage, while the package for
a foreign office is carried at a rate of
only II cents per pound There can be
but one answer, and that is, that the
express companies do no foreign bust
ness of consequence, and will not per-
NIT the government to compete with
them for the domestic business. Would
any other people, except Americans,
submit to such rank Injustice?
Can you understand why the store
keepers are opposed to parcels post?
No other class of citizens would be
more generally benefited by this re-
form. Their idea is that it would give
the large department stores of the
cities an advantage over them, but it
would work just the other way. They
could buy many things at a distance
at a reasonable price, which they now
buy nearer home at a high price on
account OF the cost of transportation.
On the other hand it would bring them
orders from neighboring postoffices
which they do not now get. 1t costs

as it does 100 pounds Therefore,
many person who wants few items
from a department store, which he
cannot buy at home store at any price,
sends large order so as to bring
the weight up to near the 100 pounds.
This was told in these columns a few
months ago by one of our correspond
ents We have no doubt that there
are many others who do the same
thing.
We have not said anything about
the stock argument of the storekeep-
ers, which is, that we ought to spend
our money at home and not send it
off. There is no justice in this. The
storekeeper does not hesitate to send
away for anything which he needs if
he can save a few cents by doing so,
why is it not just as fair for YOU to do
the same. Moreover, the storekeeper
must send away all the cost of his
goods, all that he can keep is his
profit, and if that is too much. whv
should not the money which YOU save
by buying at distance do the COM
