Picking oranges is what nearly a

Picking oranges is what nearly all
northern visitors want to boast that
they have done, even though it be
but two, still they have picked or
anges.' 1t requires lots of labor to
harvest the orange crop. Both white
men and black find plenty to do. One
farm a few miles north of here has
ninety acres set to oranges, and there
are many small orchards of from ten
to twenty acres. Farther south are
the noted Indian River orange orch
ards. Grapefruit and tangerines are
grown in the same orchards. | have
seen grapefruit trees SO heavily load
ed with the fruit that it was amaz-
ing that the branches would hold
it. But they seem to bend, like will
low, clear to the ground without
breaking
1t is said that the grapefruit tree
derived it's name from the fact that
the fruit grows in clusters, like grapes.
In this vicinity the farmers each do
their own grading, packing and ship
ping. There does not, as yet, seem
to be any of the cooperation ideas
that are SO persistently bobbing up
nowadays in northern farming COM
munlties.
Florida is still one Of the young

Bananas on Indian River.

A correspondent of the Melbourne
Times relates his experience with
bananas. They can be grown almost
anywhere in Florida, but are liable
to be killed by frost In the northern
part of the State.
However, I give you the following
items about my bananas, thinking,
if you find room for them, they may
interest northern visitors and their
folks at home, to whom all such
things here are curious

up to be eight to fifteen feet high
that fall and would have fruited in
summer of 1905, but there came on
in January of that year the freeze
that hurt the orange fruit so badly,
and I had to cut my bananas all
down. They grew right up from the
root and began to hand out good
ripe punches last summer, 1906, and

Mr.. John R. Wetherell is one of
the fortunate orange shippers of this
place this season. He shipped o44
boxes, and his returns netted him on

every box himself, and they brought
the highest price in the markets.
These oranges were from the Hunt1ey

groves in this section Mr.. w. bought

Farming in Florida.

Seeing ourselves as others see us, is
quite interesting and at times it is
also amusing, occasionally it is val
liable. You must decide for your self,
to which class letter, written to the
Farmers Call, belongs: The writer
was evidently not familiar with the
phraseology of pineapple plantations.
He calls the plants bushes and the
plantation a grove.
The month of January is busy one
for Florida farmers They are en-
gagged in the raising of garden truck,
harvesting the oranges, or preparing
more land and cutting down timber,
SO that time flies rapidly. He has
no long winter or periods of severe
weather during which he can do moth
ing but "chores." In fact, one man
said, "The years are SO much shorter
here than in the north that [ don't
know whether I really like it better Or
not. I am getting old faster" Be
that as it may, in state where crops
may be raised the entire year, and
where the climate is mild and delight
full, one would say, here is Paradise
regained, but, alas, we are also obliged
to qualify the statement by the addi-
ton of the "ifs," lands. and "buts,"
which seem bound to assert them
selves in one way or another to all of
u.s. A picture have seen somewhere
of peaceful home life, entitled, Home
making Hearts are Happiest," seems
to me to apply more especially to the
farmers, perhaps, Of Our broad land,

Jack Frost is the dreaded enemy Of
the winter farming. He may, during
a flying visit of night or two, rob
the farmer of many dollars and rem
der naught many days of painstaking
labor in which case he must take
heart and start anew. Last spring,
during the time that the Irish pota-
toes should have been dug, it rained
so continuously that it was nearly
impossible to dig them and many
rotted in the ground.
A pineapple grove I recently visited
proved to be interesting. It covered
one and a quarter acres enclosed with
