the world Therefore foreigners from
20 other countries can send a parcel
weighing over four pounds to their
friends at home at lower rate of
postage than we must pay to send one
to any part of the United States.
Is this fair or just?
Another exchange, the American
Cultivator, calls attention to the fact
that such arrangements have been
made upon the ground that they will
increase the trade Of this country,
never thinking that it would also in
crease the trade between different
parts Of this country to have similar
arrangement, for the delivery of small
parcels.
It. should be remembered that thou
sands Of the postofices are situated
in small villages or settlements where
there is no express office, so that it
is impossible for the patrons of such
Offices to get small packages without
great trouble and extra expense.
Some indulge the hope that the
rate law will compel the express
companies to give reasonable rates.
But as we have said above, there are
many places where the express COM
panies do not and cannot give the
needed service. What we need and
must have is a parcels post law which
will permit the carrying of all such
packages by mail at a low rate of
postage.

consin 10 per cent, Pennsylvania a
little over 7 and I-2 per cent and
Minnesota little more than S per
cent. All know what immense quanti-
ties of lumber are used and shipped
from this state, yet we are credited
with only per cent Of the total out
put.
The timber resources of Florida are
not unlimited. Between the lumber
men and the turpentine operators our
forests are being destroyed very
rapidly. Those who wish to build are
finding this out when they inquire the
price of lumber. 1t will not be long
before it will become necessary to
plant timber trees in this state.
There are thousands of acres of land
in Florida which are not desirable for
farming purposes, yet which have
grown good timber and can be made
to grow another crop by planting the
trees. Probably it would be wiser to
use seedlings of some variety which
will grow more rapidly than the yell
low pine Much of the land could,
no doubt, be most proftably used
for growing camphor, the sale of
which would buy more lumber than
could be grown on the land in twice
the length of time needed to produce
the camphor.

Irrigation Methods.

AS showing the widespread interest
in the question Of irrigation in Florl-
da, we extract the following from a
letter from a subscriber. We most
heartily agree with the writer, except
that the interest is not limited to the
citrus growers, but extends to all who
cultivate the soil in this state. Realiz-
ing the Importance Of the subject, we
have been endeavoring for some time
to secure descriptions of some of the
most successful plants, embodying the
practical details Of construction, and
hope soon to be able to place them be-
fore the Agricuturist readers. In fact
we have in hand now, only awaiting
suitable illustrations, a splendid article
from the pen of Mr.. J. w. Hoard,
manager of the Isleworth Nurseries,
at Gotha, which we will publish, with
in the next two or three weeks, and
have the promise of others to follow
this. Below is the extract referred
to:
The thing which perhaps the Flori-
da citrus grower is more interested in
than any other is the question of irri-
cation. Not SO much as to the bene-
fits that flow therefrom, but the best
method of irrigation. Several weeks
ago, I read an article from a Tampa
paper to the effect that the use of
porous terra Gotta tiling was the best
system. It occurs to me that you
could not furnish more interesting,
and instructive reading to your sub
scribers than to publish something
relative to the best system of irriga-
ton, giving the relative cost of the
plant and the kind of materials to be
used. What say you?
May we not urge every reader of
the Agriculturist who has an irriga-
ton plant in operation to give de-
scription and the method of its con-
struction. By SO doing you will not
only help others but may in the ex-
change, get some ideas that will en-
able you to improve your plant.
Won't you try it?

New York Markets.
postage

It is very evident that Our Florida
gardeners have something to learn
about raising cantaloupes or else the
California climate is more favorable
for the production of these melons.
Wednesday and Thursday, June 26
and ~, five cars of California canta-
loupes were sold in New York at
prices ranging from Sd to $3.50 for
pony and $3.50 to Sc for standard
crates. At the same time Florida
melons were bringing from ST to $I.25
for ponies and $3.50 to So. for STAN
dards.
It seems that California grapefruit
cannot compete with that from Flori-
da. The first solid car of grapefruit
from California was sold in New York
on Monday, June "a, and brought
only So per box for fancy, while me-
dunn to x. poor sold as low as 90
cents to $1.5o per box. At no time
did Florida grapefruit go SO low, and
if there was any Of it in market now
it would bring fabulous prices.
The Florida pineapple season is
about over, probably will be. entirely
SO by the time that this is printed, as
it was expected to close about July
first. The demand is still heavy at
high prices. Probably a few late
shipments will be made and will real
ize good prices.

Sweet Corn.

We are enjoying some very nice,
green, sweet corn, every day, from
our own garden. It is rather late in
the season, but it was so dry early
that we could not plant as soon as
we would have liked. The first plant
ing is about done, but a second is not
yet ready to eat.
The variety is that listed in cata-
logues as Mexican or Black sugar
corn. No other variety which we
have ever tried can compare with it
in quality. When it is just right for
the table it is as white as any other
corn, but as it grows harder it be-
gins to turn purple. When ripe it is
not black but dark purple. About
30 years ago, we first got seed of this
variety from Jas. J. H. Gregory, and
planted a patch, intending to sell it
to our customers in a small city near
which we lived at that time. The
first picking we took into town and
gave about a half dozen ears to each
family on our route After that we
never had any trouble to sell it, we
could never get enough of it to supply
the demand
Before this year we have never
grown any sweet corn in Florida
without having one-half or more of
the ears infested with the boil worm.
This year we did not see a worm in
any Of it until we had used several
messes. Later we have found a very
few, not three per day, and they had
just begun their work, had not DANA
ged more than two Or three grains
Oh an ear. Probably the second
planting may be more seriously in
tested. Sweet corn is very whole
some, when eaten before it gets too
hard, and we do not see why more of
it is not grown.

An Improvement For Cultivators..

All are aware that evaporation pro-
ceeds much more rapidly from a soil
over which there is hard crust
This is the reason for running culti-
vator when no weeds can be seen.
Most of the cultivators in common
use leave the soil in ridges, which, of
course, exposes more surface to the
air and allows more evaporation. The
last number of the Farm Journal
shows how to fix it so the soil may
be 1oosened up and still left level.
1t is simply board fastened to the
back standards of the cultivator in
such way that it will scrape off the
tops of the ridges behind the cultiva-
tor teeth and leave the soil mellow
and still level. We can see that it
would be quite an improvement in
many cases. Suppose you try it.

Parcels Post.

There seems to be no let-up in the
effort to bring about this reform in

ricultural exchanges TEEN with items

a parcels post.

statement that this country has par

Fraudulent Commission Dealers.

The perversity of human nature is
a constant surprise. Men who have
the reputation of being smart business
men in ordinary life, will ship goods
to irresponsible parties to be sold on
commission because they quote prices
a little higher than the market. That
very fact ought to make them sus-
picious that something was wrong.
We were reminded to write on this
subject by an item in the Fruit Trade
Journal. A notoriously crooked deal
er has started up again in a large
Southern city, under the name of
brokerage company, and it is reported
that he is getting melons from Flori-
da by the carload every day The
latest report was that several cars had
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-07-10

been held up by the railroads for non
payment of freight bills.
Of course such men can quote high
prices. They do not expect to pay
anything, and sell for cash as long
as they can in one city, and then
move on, change their name and go
at it again.
There are honest, reputable men in
the commission business, and it is
too bad that farmers will throw away
their hard-earned crops by shipping
to rascals.

If YOU are at all interested in know

being used up, you should send to the
Department Of Agriculture for circu-

bears the title at the head of this
article.

in 1000 there were used in this coun-
try in round numbers, $4,000, O,oOo,o 900

Der exported (unsawed), mine tim

worst feature of the business is the
fact that while the population in
creased from 1880 to 1890 at the rate
of 81 per cent, the timber cut increas-
ed o4 per cent. This country is now
using annually 400 board feet per
capita, while the average for Europe
is but 90 feet per capita.
Table number 2, gives the lumber
cut of the United States from 1880

The entertaining author OF "Collec

claret. He said that "our intellect

OF that admirable liquid, claret." Mr..
Gladstone, to whom the other pleas

a sdckler for port, believer in It, a
Judge OF 1t. Mr.. Russell says that the
only feeble speech he ever heard from
Gladstone was made after dinner at
an otherwise hospitable house, where
wine was not suffered to appear.
Lord Tennyson drank his bottle Of
