Saturday, June 20, the storm mOderat-
ed somewhat, but not until the main
sail and foresail had carried away
and gone to ribbons And by even
ing of that day It was blowing hard
again. Monday following squalls of
hurricane force harassed the ship and
binding clods of snow and sleet added
to the discomfort of those aboard. The
decks became frozen hard over and
with the ship tossing and pitching it
was all a mans life was worth to
venture onto their slippery surface. All
the running and standing gear became
frozen hard, and for three days the
men could not unfurl many of the
lighted sails During this time great
seas continually broke over the ship
and even in the cabin, as in the fore
castle, everything was wet and cold
and uncomfortable.
This was the weather which beset
the ship with scarcely a let-up all
through July. Friday, July 12, while
the decks were full of water, Appren-
Ilce Matthew'S VINO was trying to cross
near the bow. was carried off his feet
and washed back and forth, iniuring
his leg severely.
The Edenmore's buffeting eliminated
in a second storm of hurricane force,
July q. This storm was not of as
long duration as those preceding The
ship again lost nearly all her standing
sails.
The other night in his cabin, using
spectacle case, a match box and the
candle stick, to diagram rocks and
capes and ships, Captain Jones told of
hairs breadth escapes he has had.
Many were remarkable and thrilling
enough for the most adventurously
inclined, but for downright battering
by wind and weather Captain Jones ad-
mits he has never made a worse voyage
than his last.

secured again it carried away all the

by tn spar, and twelve capstan bars
were lost. For the benefit of all con-

one coil of three-inch manila rope be-

Jones of the British ship Edenmore,
who has passed fifty or more times
around Cape Horn, in his forty y-eight
years of life at sea, last July came
within an ace of losing his life off the
cage, Together with the entire crew
Of the Edenmore, Captain Jones bat
tied several hours on decks awash
waist deep, with an immense spar,
which broke its lashings and, like a
ram, hurtled backwards and forwards,
smashing rails and lines and threaten
ing the safety of the ship. While the
men battled with the heavy spar a
hurricane was piling the sea into
mountainous waves and the icy cold
wind froze the spindrift as fast as it
struck rails and rigging.
Captain Jones is short in stature,
broad-shouldered and has the dogged
determination which has made the
British merchant marine one of the
finest afoat. He is averse to relating
any details of the adventures he him
self has had at sea, but admits that
his last voyage from Rochester with
cement for Seattle, was one of the
worst in his memory. From the bare
facts of the entries in the log book
of the Edenmore a graphic idea of the
ships adventures off the dreaded Cape
Horn can be obtained

Florida Orange Growers Co.
and Crop Yield Discussed.

A correspondent of the Courier-In-
formant writes as follows:
Please allow me space in your valu-
able paper to say few things in be-
half of the orange growers, as to their
needs, ETC.
In the first place, we must get to-
gether and stay together, as the cot
ton growers have already done, and I
am sure the result will be equally as
profitable as it has been with them.
Now, in order to do this, we must
stand together by formulating better
system of packing and marketing Our
fruit, and make standing price for
the entire state on the different grades
of oranges, and absolutely cut Out the
consigning of fruit. We can never
make a price as long as we consign
our fruit, for the buyer can't afford
to pay what the fruit is worth, not
knowing what will be consigned in
competition with that he has bought
We must sell our fruit and we must
protect the buyers. [ am sure the F.
F. CO. is offering the best plan that
has ever come before the growers, and
we cannot afford to let this great op-
portunity pass, as the benefits to be
gained are many. I will only mention
few of them.
In the first place, we propose to
sell at home, and we all know that it
can be done. Suppose a grower would
not ship an orange, say before the first
OF November, the state would be full
Of buyers ready to pay the growers
price, The great trouble with the
local organizations has been that they
are helpless to make a price And I
want to say that if the grower could
get what he should, all business enter
prises throughout the state would be
benefited by it, and the orange
groves would be worth double the
amount that they now are.
I want to say that some of the
orange buyers have their estimate up
to four million boxes. If I thought
they really believed that, I'd hate to
have them buy fruit from me in bulk.
I believe that one-half that number is
not far from the mark. 1t is true we
can't tell how the June bloom will
pan out, as that will depend on the
season. If it continues dry the June
fruit will be small, but with plenty of
rain from now on, it will be large
enough.
I have carefully looked over the
crop south of here, and while some
localities have 90 per cent, some so,
others 40 and 80, we find some as low
as 10 per cent. have met with many
of the growers within the last ten days
throughout the southern portion of
the state, and find they are heartily
in favor of organizing and acting to-
gether as a state for the benefit of the
growers.

County Soil Good for Celery.

We have frequently said that we
had no doubt that the soil of many
sections Of the state would be found
adapted to celery. This week the
Polk County Record asserts that the
soil of that county is specially we'll
adapted to the growth Of celery.
There is room for all that can be
grown in the state, at profitable prices.
The Record article is as follows:
Farming as an industry in portions
of Polk county is coming rapidly to
the front, and quite SO in the northern
end, as acres upon acres are constant
ly under cultivation.
Celery, if properly worked, could be
made an excellent paying CROP. in
fact it is the opinion of County Judge
Preston that the land in the vicinity
of Carriers and Auburndale is better
adapted for celery raising than even
the famous Sanford celery fields.
Discussing celery few days ago the
Judge said: "Po1k county has some
admirable lands for celery growing,
and I am indeed surprised to know
that very few people have taken hold
of this important crop, which will net
the grower, I am confident, even bet
ter returns than the Sanford yield"
The Judge, when asked which lands
in this county he thought were best
adapted for celery, said: "The ex-
cellent flowing wells at Carter and
Auburnda1e make the proposition a
very easy one for the grower. At
Carriers good flow of water can be
secured at a depth Of forty-hve to
fifty feet. This water is the same as
at Kissingen Springs, in fact, [ am
certain it is in the same vein. The
muck land which we have recently
drained around Auburndale [ consider
fine for celery, and it is likely some
one will start the ball rolling before
long"
Have you had any experience in
raising celery? asked the scribe.
eyes, some six years ago | had an
acreage under cultivation at Carriers,
and people who saw the product pro-
nounced it the finest they had ever
seen"
The Record has heard numerous ia
vorab1e comments on Polk county as
celery growing region, and every
dav we are more convinced that we
have within the borders of this coun-
tv lust as good celery land as can be
found anywhere. What we need is a
thrifty set of celery men who under
stand all the points Of the business;
who are not afraid to venture into the
cultivation of this product.
