Give Us The Torrens System.

We give, this week, an editorial,
from the Progressive Farmer, which
we commend to the consideration Of
our readers, especially to any mem
bers of the legislature who may
chance to see this paper If you are
not legislator, perhaps you can in
,terest the member from your county
in this measure by writing a letter
to him, calling his attention to the
Importance of the proposed relief to
real estate owners.
Three classes of citizens are inter
ested in opposing the reform, viz
County Clerks, who gain large fees
for searching the records and giving
abstracts of title; second, owners of
sets of Abstract books; and third,
the lawyers who make large per-
centage of their incomes from cases
which are based upon disputed land
titles.
On the other hand, every owner
of real estate, outside of these three
classes, is vitality concerned in sim
plifying the method of transferring
titles. Which is the largest class
and can give the most votes?
We hope that these ideas may
cause serious thought on the part
of our legislators.

Eucalyptus Growing.

1t seems hardly necessary to talk
of timber growing in this state, yet
it is a fact that timber is becoming
very scarce even in Florida Lumber
is SO high that it is cheaper to use
other materials wherever it is pos
sible. Thousands Of acres are being
denuded of their timber as rapidly
as axes can accomplish the work. It is
only question of time, and not very
long either, when we shall be obliged
to raise Our own supply Of lumber
For this purpose it seems that we
should experiment with some species
Of Eucalyptus. We have recommend
ed the planting of camphor trees,
and we still believe that it will be
very profitable business, especially
for those who get into it early
But there are some who cannot
attend to the gathering of the tops
of camphor trees, who could plant
trees for timber and let them grow
until large enough to use or to sell.
For such persons, and any others
who care to experiment in this line,
we think that the planting of Euca-
lyptus trees offers a promising in
vestment. We give this week long
article from the California Fruit
Grower, showing what they are doing
in California in providing timber for
future use. Eucalyptus globulus
seems to be the most desirable spe-
cies. In this state it has made a
growth of forty feet in four years.
1t will stand a temperature of 10
when established, but is more tender
when young. Seedlings grown under
cover through the winter and planted
out in the spring should be SO we'll
established by fall that they would
stand the cold of an ordinary winter,
but it would be safer to bank the
trees, with a ploW, for a few years,
SO that if the top was killed the
tree might sprout more readily. The
timber of this Eucalyptus is very hard
and durable, and is considered very
valuable.
We believe that those who plant
this species will not have any cause
to regret it later in life.

The Convention and a Trip to Pass
a-Gril1e.

For the benefit of the members
and friends of the State Horticultural
Association which is held at ST.
Petersburg, May 18th to 18th, inclu-
slve, the writer wishes to impress
on the minds of all, and also on the
minds of the subscribers of the Flori-
da Agriculturist, that now is the time
to take a vacation for a few days,
and get away from the worry of a
seven months drouth, or any other
worry you have, and take advantage
of the cheap rate of the railroads
and go to St. Petersburg and attend
the meetings, and if you are not a
member of the State Horticultural
Association, join them there, and
meet men that you exchange ideas
with.
Don't live in that same old rut,
but get out and progress with our
state. See and hear what other men
are doing and give these men the
benefit of what you know about our
beautiful state, and what can Gin your
opinion) be done with one or forty
acres of land
Go and help boost a good thing
along, hear what some of them have
to say in regard to "truck farming"
the coming industry of our state.
You will be surprised to hear what
has been accomplished There is all
old saying that "there is more than
one way to skin a cat" and it is
just as true in regard to Our state,
that there is more than one way to
make a living" in the horticultural
Or agricultural industry But it is
only by working in harmony and in
the most scientific and practical man
ner that success can be gained, and
what is success for one should be
for all.
It is only this week that certain
gentleman has received letter from
the United States Government asking
him about an article that was pub
lished in the Florida Agricu1turist'

reply will send two men to investi-
gate.

A Real Department of Agriculture
For Texas.

Under this title the editor of Farm
and Ranch devotes nearly a column
and a half to describing this new
department in the state government
of Texas. It seems that the legis-
lature has passed a law creating a
of Agriculture and ap-
propriating $4,000 for it's support
for the next two years. We have a
Commissioner of Agriculture in Flo
rida, but his duties and power are
not in keeping with the Importance
which ought to attach to such an
office. Our legislature might we'll
take lesson from that Of Texas
and make the office something more
nearly what it deserves to be. The
editor Of Farm and Ranch says: "The
provisions of the act creating the
independent department are SO liberal
that years of development are ev-
identity anticipated The authority
vested in the commissioner is SO
great that there will naturally be a
question of Where to begin in this
great state on these many problems. .
He also quotes from the law the
qualifications required Of commits
sioner as follows: Gle shall have
a knowledge of agriculture, manufac-
lures and general industries, and shall
be an experienced and practical
farmer"
The list of his duties, as quoted
from the law, makes it necessary
for him to report each year on about
every industry which is known to the
agriculturists of this state, except
citrus fruit culture, the growing of
pineapples and such tropical fruits
as are cultivated in Florida. If he
frlflls the obligations laid upon him,
he will be a busy man. Our agri-
cultural Industries are more varied
than those of Texas, and the need
Of an independent department of agri-
culture is therefore still greater. Will
the legislature rise to the occasion
and give Florida an opportunity to
take it's proper place as one of the
greatest agricultural states in the
Union?

Model Sanitary Conditions,

DR.. Rupert Blue, chief Of the depart
ment Of sanitation Of the jamestown
exposition, reports on the health con-
ditions at the exposition as follows:
las shown by the analyses made BY
the United States laboratory at Wash
1ngton, the water supply of the James
town exposition is Of unusual purity
and Is free from harmful constituents
The sewer and drainage systems have
been carefully constructed and are su-
perior to those Of many Of the largest
cities. AS yet no case Of infectious dis
ease has been found on the grounds,
and it Is doubtful II any occur unless
imported. \ sanitary surveillance Of
the hotels and restaurants is constant
ly maintained by an efficient CORDS Of
inspectors. The salubrity Of the eli
mate Of the exposition area is too well
known to require q statement from the
department Of sanitation"

that by some oversight the music
sheets of the band, brought especially
for the afternoon concert, had been left
behind in Lewiston but that the band
would cndcaVor to do its best under
the circumstances. In the light Of
later events it seems as if this an

been meant as a joke, for the concert
which Director Theme and his men
