Marketing Green Oranges.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
For some years | have had little to
say with reference to marketing green
oranges because [ became a convert to
the idea. But when this subject be-
comes so "hot" that an organization
will appeal to the health officers Of the
cities and to the department Of pure
food Of the National government, and
these parties will notice it, then it is
time for all concerned to speak.
You folks are rather ridiculous in all
this. Let me say, the time to sell fruit
is when it will bring the most money!
Now dispute that if you can. This
abOminable green, sour stuff has fool
way Of doing that in these parts for
the past five years that [ have lived
here. That's fact one! Another is
that it is liable to some kind Of disaster
all the time, and a burnt child breads
the fire. Fact number two! When a
man is in debt Or otherwise in need
and has bird in the hand and turns
it loose in the hope of sailing the tails
of the two in the bush, he is a subject
for the lunatic asylum! Fact number
three! [ rushed my fruit to market
two years because Of drouth-was
afraid it would drop and be a total loss
and it would in the first case, and
bids fair to be so in this case at this
writing. That is my February bloom,
the June bloom will have to go unless
it rains. One year I held my fruit
and it was frozen, or partly so, and a
neighbor did SO last year and lost his
Fact number four!
Now pass law that nobody shall
eat green fruit No one shall drink
whisky, then we'll have the door open
for all sorts of abuses of the physical
man. You shall not chew or smoke
too much, nor over-eat, nor the ladies
lace too tight, nor stay in doors too
much, nor work too hard All these
things will be the subject for more
laws and lawyers. Well, we need
more people on the chain gang and in
the penitentiary, and all found guilty
of any of the violations of '1aw," and
"order," let me add that work can be
hired out to turpentine camps for the
benefit of our politicians! Well, now.
it's pity, but we do have lots of
trouble. Let this go at that

Japanese Laborers.

So far as we have noticed none of
Our California exchanges ever speak
of Japanese 1aborers except to de-
nounce them. If we may Judge the
Japanese in other states by those
composing the industrious and thrifty
colony in Florida they are not justified
in this course The Denver Field and
Farm indicates that the sentiment in
Colorado is exactly the opposite of
that in California, as shown by the
following item:
Fruit growers in the western coast
states are turning to the employment
Of Japanese to help solve the labor
problem for it seems the only way out
The trouble has been that white labor
is unreliable and cannot be depended
uDon especially during harvest time
The Japanese 1aborers work every dav
and all day and everybody in Colorado
who has employed them express them
selves as we'll pleased with results
The past season especially has proved
the usefulness of oriental labor in our
sugar fields and it is o,1ite certain that
next wear will see a still larger demand
for the yellow man in orchard work
over on the western slope The Ameri-
can has become too fancy to do an
honest days work and a panic once in
A while is really a good thing because
it makes some Of these lazy fellows do
a little manual labor.

tended to- Keep them out Of the sun,
and the boxes, when filled, should be
covered up closely to keep the moist
ure, and they will keep firm. There
is great deal to be done in the way
of pruning, in both the lemon and
orange Head back and thin out.
Many people object to heavy pruning
for the only reason that it requires
too much work to thin out and con-
troll the new growth. There are or
chards that have been pruned for
three or four years but the thinning
out process has never been performed
and the trees are almost worthless
as they are now. Let us give more
attention to the growing of a better
quality of lemons.

Picking Lemons.

The following from the California
Cultivator, may be helpful to some
beginner in lemon culture. At any
rate it will give an idea Of California
methods.
Never pick lemons in sacks; use a
basket and transfer to the picking box
three in each hand very carefully. 1t
will always pay to use this extra care
in picking lemons. It seems we cannot
impress on the minds of the lemon
growers the great necessity Of handling
their lemons carefully Any slight
rubbing together, such as picking in
sacks, causes quick decay. Some
growers who are obliged to wash their
lemons on account Of smut, say that it
does not harm their keeping qualities: !:
but we want to say just now to those
who wash their lemons, that as long
as YOU hold to that idea Just so long
will you fail to be successful in lemon
growing.
There are other things just as es-
sential, and that is picking lemons at
the right time. You do not pick fire.
quently enough. We notice orchards
every day where the lemons have been
hanging on the tree for weeks after
they were large enough to pick, and
then when they are picked we get
lemons from small, undeveloped size
one and one-half inches in diameter, to
a great overgrown size, three and one
half inches in diameter Now this is
all wrong and many growers who did
this admit that it is wrong, but let us
state the general excuse for this: that
it does not pay and they cannot afford
the expense of going over orchards
as it should be DONE Now if it will
ever pay at all, it will pay to attend
to this as it should be DONE When
picking lemons use a two and one
fourthinch ring and do not pick a
lemon that will not fill the ring-un-
less the lemon is yellow or very i'm
perfect. Then it should come off at
any time. Keep up this picking every
two weeks for one season and you will
be surprised at the increase of both
quality and quantity.
Dry, hot days are bad for picking

But is NOT A SUCCESS
Perfdy is Discovered and He is Sent
to Serve Thirty Days in

Peter Klein thought that he was a
wise one, and being out of employment
figured that he could earn enough
money by his wits. He was lounging
about saloon in Gibson, Tuesday. and
while he was sopping up a few schoon-
ers, a cigar salesman blew in with his
goods. He had several boxes of cigars
and while showing the smokes to the
barkeeper, he carelessly placed the box
on the floor. Klein saw his chance and
lifted one of the boxes placing it under
his coat CarelessIy he sauntered from
the emporium and once outside he felt
safe. Yesterday afternoon he went over
TO the Standard Steel settlement where
he attempted 10 unload his goods on a
saloon keeper at a ridiculous figure.
Officer Trinan happened TO be passing
at the time and heard the conversation
and the result was that Klein took q
trip 10 the station. He was charged
with the offense this morning before
Judge Mcmahon and was fined s22 and
sentenced to serve thirty days in the

VICTIM IS CHILD
FIFTEEN YEARS OLD
Prisoner Claims Case To Be One of
Blackmail Pure and Simple, That
He Does Not Know Backstrom and
His Acquaintance With Girl is
Sight-Can Prove Alibi.

South Chicago, Oct. 10.-Sensational
charges have been preferred against
Louis Sommers, 24S Ninetysecond street
by August Backstrom, charging Som
mers with assault upon his Is year old
daughter Gertrude Bachstrom, seven
teen months ago. Sommers was arrest
&c last night by Officer O'Keefe and
taken to the Fifteenth precinct station
where he gave bonds for appearance in
court this morning. When the case
came up before Judge Girten, Sommers
asked for a continuance which was
given him.
The complaint alleges that the as
sault took place at the home of Som
mers sister-in-law, Mrs. A. Dribbleoiss,
9010 Houston avenue.
In an interview with Sommers this
morning he said the whole thing was
a case of b1ackmail and that he would
prove a complete alibi. According to
Mr.. Sommers story, he never saw Mr..
Bachstrom until Tuesday when he ap-
preached him (Mr. Sommers) charging
him with the crime and asking of the
affair could not be settled out of court
to this Sommers said he replied that
there was nothing to it but he would
talk with Bachstrom Saturday. Bach
strorns became very angry and threat
ened to have him arrested.
Yesterday he carried out his threat
Mr.. Sommers says that he never saw
Bachstrom before and only once OF
twice saw his little daughter. Mr.
Sommers is a wholesale Liquor dealer
and is we'll known over South Chicago
and in fact all over Cook county where
he has many friends who are much in
censed over the charges which they
say are trumped up against him. This
morning Mr.. Sommers was very busy
and refused to go into a lengthy dis
cussion of the alleged assault. but was
loud in his denouncation of Bachstron
for preferring the charges he did. The
case will come up Saturday morning
before Judge Girten.

GET MORE FOR MILK
Price of Dairy Product is
Raised to Farmers by
Dealers.
Especial to Lake County Times.) }

St. John. Oct. 10.-AIilk shippers Of
this region have been notified by their
buyers in Chicago, that beginning Oct
15 until March l, $1.45 will be paid for
an eight gallon can of milk, this being
the biggest price of milk per can that
has ever been paid to shippers here
abouts.
The high price is accounted for in
the scarcity of milk and especially to
the decrease in the amount of the fluid
that comes from St. John. The de-
crease is largely due to the high ex-
penses that the farmers incur in main
tanning good milk producing cows. The
season is practically over and the cows
have to be fed at greater expense to
the farmers.
In the estimation OF the shippers the
price offered by the Chicago dealers is
only reasonable and fair when com
pared with the cost of feeding cows
with oats at so cents a bushel and corn
at so cents, while hay is corresponding
ly high. Besides. the price of shipping
a can of milk costs from II to is cents.
