Fancy Varieties of Mangoes.
By John B. Beach.

The Fernandez mango, which l
stated some time ago had set Tine
crop of fruit, has had hard time:
The cold wind in April caused all
the fruit to drop. Prof. P. H. Rolls
was here at the time and said it might
have been by lack. Of polarization.
However, a second slight bloom has
set four fruit which, are now the size
Of hens eggs, and l trust we may
still get a sample Of this rare fruit.
It is classed with the Alfoos varieties
as the very choicest Of all the table
varieties grown in India. | have one
specimen of the Raj purri as large
as turkey egg, so it may be possible
to test that variety this year.
Mango trees loaded with three diff
ferent sizes of fruit have put on a
fourth bloom since the advent Of the
spring rains. This is quite unpre-
cedented and means a tremendous
crop long drawn out Very likely,
owing to a short peach crop, the de-
mand for mangoes will be stimulated
this year. But l fear any wide dis
tribution of this common Seeding
fruit will tend to hurt the reputation
Of the mango in the estimation of
the public 1t will be many years
before the fancy sorts will be in the
market in any appreciate quantities,
however, owi ing to the limitations set
on propagation.
Such is not the case with the avo-
cado, which can be budded almost
as readily as the orange and marched
with wonderful rapidity and certainty.
1t is hard to transplant, like the man
go, and | am much inclined to think
that the methods | have adopted for
the mango, pot grown stock marched
or budded, may ultimately supersede
open ground nursery methods. The
trees can be put on the market for
half the price of mangoes, and their
rapidity of growth renders absence
of shock in transplanting of more
Importance than original size of stock.

Florida Tomato Crop.

ling the fact that the land was NOT
even cleared and THE crop was made
by one negro with a hoe, who received
81, 600 for his share, the results were
satisfactory. Many of my neighbors
have tihis year followed the same plan
and obtained higher yields. No doubt
by breaking the land with pillow a
much larger crop can be secured. But
the above shows how much can be
accomplished with the sole help of

nor of Georgia, Advocates Impor-
tant Special Legislation.

Atlanta, Ca, June 29.-Hoke Smith
was inaugurated governor Of Georgia
at noon today. In the inaugural ad-
dress, Smith advocated special legis-
lation to prevent corporations from US
ing improper influence to control the
legislature; requiring that all repre-
sentatives of corporate interests regis
ter with the secretary of state; prohib-
iting railroads from issuing free passes
within the state; and prohibiting con-
tribusions of money for political pur-
poses by corporations or special inter-
ests. The state constitution should be
amended, he said, to provide a new
standard for the elective franchise
suggestion, with the Alabama law as a
model. The governor said he would ex-
haust the power of his office to pre-
vent lynching.

ICE FAMINE SERIOUS
Companies in New York Making Siren
uous Efforts to Supply Hospitals and
Large Consumers Suffering An
ticipated.

New York, June 29.-The prospects
were that the ice famine due to the
strike of drivers Of the American Ice
Companys wagons would be severely
felt today and Monday, owing to Sun
day requirements. Fortunately heavy
clouds tempered the heat. Officers OF
the company were making strenuous
efforts to deliver ice without conceding
to the demands of the strikers, and
were able to move considerable wagons.
In Brooklyn, where the strike has been
severely felt owing to lack of competi-
ton by other companies, officers of the
American Ice Company said they had
about one hundred wagons In service,
manned chiefly by their regular driv-
ers who either did not join in the strike
or returned to work after quitting.
OFFICERS of the drivers union said
today they would hire wagons and de-
liver ice to the hospitals and charitable
institutions. If the companies were
unable to do so, many of the largest
consumers employed drivers to haul
ice from the depots of the company,
but had some difficulty in finding men
for the work, members of the team
sters' union generally refusing to work.
