"Lawsy, look at dat nigger. he, he he" laughed Uncle Alex yesterday aft ernoon as he wended his way home ward after police court had closed, and was passing the street gang, which was sweeping the streets as the cold wind blew from the north. The old negro wrapped snugly in his overcoat. with a red handk erchief tied around his ears, seemed to be enjoying his joke profoundly. Leaning against a tele- graph post, he chuckled and sent jihes at the already dscomforted new re- cruit.

Celebrated Twenty-Fifth Anniversary.

Wednesday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip Foucault rounded
up twenty-five years of mar
ried life, and it was plainly
manifested by many of their
friends that the event had not
been forgotten
at an early hour in the even
ing hosts of friends and &C
quaintances began to arrive at
Grandville Hall, where a re-
ception and banquet had been
prepared for the occasion.
Hugo''s orchestra was on deck
and in a short time many feet
were tripping the light fan
tastic, which continued until
nearly midnight. AT this hour
a bountiful banquet was served
and Mr.. and Mrs. Foucault
presented with many costly
and beautiful gifts.
Dancing was again resumed,
and il was amid numerous con-
pratulations and best wishes
for a continuance of life's Jour
ney together that the guests
took their departure at a late
hour.

Asparagus.

Another year has rolled around and
again the California truck growers are
sending asparagus to the New York
market by the car load. Charleston
asparagus is also going to market,
the latter ranges in price from 80 to
$I2 per dozen punches. That from
California varies from So to $12 for
the white and from SIS to $24 for
green, per dozen lunches
Again we wish to ask why our gar
deners are not getting some of this
money. We do not believe that there
is anything in Our climate which pre-
vents its cultivation. 1t certainly is
not the soil, for we have all kinds,
and light sand will raise good as
paragus if it is made rich enough
We believe that the trouble has been
in the quality and quantity of fertili-
zer used. In our light soils it is
almost impossible to make the soil
suitable for asparagus without stable
manure. Commercial fertilizers are
good, but they do not supply humus
and that seems to be a necessity.
In preparing the ground remember
that it is almost or quite impossible
to make the soil too rich by the use
Of we'll decayed stable manure. The
saying of a very successful market
gardener in Illinois, which we have
quoted before is a good one to keep
in mind, "The profit in growing as
paragus comes from the fertilizer that
you put in after you think that you
have put on enough" Try the ex-
pertinent, at least on small scale.

Mr.. Strong All Right.

Mr.. A. w. Morrill, writes us from
Orlando, enclosing clipping from
the daily Reporter-Star of February
5, which, if it was published in the
weekly, escaped our notice. 1t will
be seen that the item gives an entire
ly different face to the matter. AS
we helped to give circulation to the
criticism of Mir. Strong, and being
assured by Mr.. Morril that he was
not guilty Of maligning the state, as
charged, we are glad to publish the
correction, which is as follows:
There was published in Mondays
Reporter-Star an article, copied from
the Los Angeles Times, purporting to
be from the pen of Horticultural
Commissioner Strong, of Los Angel
es, CAL, and we treated upon it pretty
thoroughly, saying, however, that Mr..
Strong might not have been quoted
verbatim by the Los Angeles Times
or the article might have been touch
ed up by the paper.
"Mr. Strong visited us today and
we find him to be a very clever gen.
tleman, not at all disposed to be a
Florida fruit knocker, but anxious
to help us in the eradication of the
whitehy, the duty to which he was

Prohibit Lobbying.

When we planned to write this edi-
torial, we had it in mind to bring out
the fact that legislation against lob
bying had been proposed in several
states. We cannot say how many
have actually gone to the point Of
prohibiting it. But the fact of such
proposed legislation was brought to
mind by seeing in one Of our state
exchanges a copy Of bill offered in
congress by Hon. w. B. Lamar, a
member from this state. Probably
such bill does not stand any change
Of becoming law, but the fact that it
has been proposed shows that public
sentiment is improving.
This week we found in the last
number of the Indiana Farmer an edi-
torial entitled "The Farmers Must
Have a Lobby. The editor begins
by saying that he is almost ashamed
to suggest that farmers should have a
lobby. But that it seems to be the
y.
mers), can get any legislation in their
behalf. How is it in this state? 1t
is probably too late for the farmers
of Florida to organize lobby, if they
were inclined to do so. But we wish
that you would each one keep close
watch of the work of our next leg
ic1o+,,ra ood coo how +1,a1, tract 1aO
islation which is distinctly in favor
of the farmers. We should prefer
that all lobbying should be prohibit
ed, but if that is not to be done, then
by all means organize a farmers
lobby and make sure that the mem
bers of the legislature clearly under
stand that the agricultural interests
of this state demand recognition.

Fumigation for White Fly.

The Agricuhurist is pleased to be
able to present short article this
week from the pen of Prof. A. w.
Morrill,, special field agent of the U.
S. Bureau of Entomology, in charge
of the station at Orlando, giving a
brief description Of the fumigation
method employed by that bureau for
the destruction of the white fly.
In California, where both methods
have been tried there has been much
discussion between the advocates OF
fumigation and those who spray, with
the best of the argument seemingly
in favor of the former.
The application of insecticides by
the modern spraying devices has
proven quite satisfactory, but where
it is practicable fumigation would
seem to be much more effective. By
this means the fumes from the chem
icals used reach every part of the
tree or plant, and no diseased or in
fected surface is missed, as is often
times the case with even the best
spraying methods.
One reason why fumigation has not
been more generally tried was the
want of some cheap and convenient
means for effectually inclosing large
trees for the application of the chemi-
Gals. The plan employed by Prof
Morrill, and his assistants removes
this objection, as it is simple and in
expensive, and will enable owners OF
even small groves to cooperate with
this bureau in its work.
In order to make the method as
plain as possible we have had illustra-
tons made showing how the plan
works, and hope Florida grove own
ers generally will try fumigation as
we'll as spraying for the destruction
of insect pests of various kinds, doing
the work Systematically and such re-
cords as will assist in determining
the effectiveness of each.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-13

assigned because of his experience
with the handling Of the scale pests
Of California. He assures us that he
did not write for publication but that
the article in question must have been
gotten up by some reporter who had
access to a private letter which he
wrote to a personal friend
"Mr. Strong showed us copy Of
this letter and it contains nothing of
the matter published as coming from
him.
1--WE are glad to make this state
ment and to have good strong man
for us rather than against u.s."
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-13

We believe that we need immigra-
ton, first, of course, of good Ameri-
can citizens, as many as possible, but
over and beyond that we need good
laborers. The labor problem is a
very serious one From all parts
of the state comes the cry more labor
ers wanted Some industries are real
ly crippled by a shortage of help.
We must have laborers or change our
methods and introduce more machin-
cry. Of course, we favor the latter
so far as possible, but for some kinds
of work machinery has not yet been
found practicable. On the whole it
seems to us that the state could not
do better thing for all interests con-
cerned than to establish Bureau of
Immigration and make very possible
effort to get both classes of immi-
grants.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-13
immigration.

We think there is no doubt that a
large majority of the people of this
state would like to see more perma-
nent settlers coming into Florida.
The character of the desired immigra-
ton is more of disputed point. Some
want foreign laborers, others prefer
only Americans who would make
more reliable citizens, while some
seem to think that we do not need
any more citizens than we shall get
by the natural increase of those that
we already have.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-13

tax levied on the companies which
handle C. O. D. shipments Of liquor
in dry counties in this State. would
no doubt do much to remedy the
present unsatisfactory condition OF
things in those counties. The item is
as follows:
The Texas Legislature last week
passed a bill and the Governor has
signed it, imposing tax of $4,000 On
express companies for each OF their
offices in prohibition districts where
C. O. D. shipments of liquor are de-
livered. Because of this law, the
companies have issued an order pro-
hibiting the future handling Of such
merchandise. It will have to go by
freight now.
