Camphor Should Prove
Profitable in Florida

On the label on the back of a shelf
bottle for camphoEr is yet the cost
mark for that drug, showing that cam
phor gum cost sixteen cents per
pound at wholesale. only a few years
ago.
On the wholesale drug list received
last night the lowest wholesale prices
quoted is $1.1O
Why this difference in price? The
source of supply are limited The
places from which the drug formerly
could be obtained have the supply ex-
hausted. Now the whole supply is OBJ
tanned from Japan Not only so, but
the Japanese government controls the
traffic and limits the output Only so
much is put out as the government
authorities will allow. The supply is
meant to be short enough to make the
price exorbitant. Only seven million
pounds per year are allowed sold by
the government. Two and half mil
lions of this come to the U. S., mostly
western New York
Such facts as these point out to us
where a profitable investment can be
made. Now the promise Of the most
paying new investment Of which we
know that is especially adapted to this
country is growing camphor.
Any one who will notice the fine
specimen trees over the country can
see at once that this country is adapted
to its growth. Wauchu1a has in the
town a growing tree about three feet
in diameter
Some of the best paying orange
groves in the country were planted
when the planter was assured there
was nothing in orange growing. The
man first on the ground is now inde-
pendent SO it will be in camphor
production.
The United States government is
giving attention to the matter and
turns to Florida for the field best
suited to the growth. The bureau Of
plant industry will soon be in position
to give much desirable information re-
garding culture and management.
Our people may reap this harvest
1t is for them Why not Florida par
ticipate in this matter with Japan?

prise and stand in the front in camphor

NANGOES IN
PORTO RICO.
By J. B. Beach.

I am keeping up weekly CORES
pondence with Mr.. J. F. Bergin, my
former assistant in mango propaga-
ton, who has undertaken the plant
ing and care of hundred acre mango
grove for the Tropical Fruit Com
pany, at Bayamon, Porto Rico. It
has occurred to me that some of his
notes may prove of interest to those
fruit-growers in South Florida who
are interested in mango culture.
He started over in October last,
taking with him some 500 marched
mango trees, going via Clyde Line
to New York, and thence back again
to Porto Rico. He had to traverse a
journey of over 1000 miles to accom-
plish a distance of barely 300. On
arrival at Bayamon be found the plan
tation to consist of two adjoining
sugar farms, partially covered with
cane, and he planted his trees in large
flower pots until he could get the
land ready for setting out in grove.
Having spent some years in the arid
West, he was much pleased to find
two small streams crossing the prop
erty, so situated as to render surface
irrigation practicable and easy. He
set out some of the trees in cleared
land near the streams and set his men
to work clearing off the cane roots
to plant more, expecting to need ir-.
rigation, it being the beginning of
the dry season Shortly after he got
started it began to rain and poured
in torrents day after day with hardly
a ray of sunlight This was said by
the neighbors to be "quite unpre-
cedented as according to the calendar
it was the dry season; BUT old Jupiter
P1uvius paid NO attention and the
streams began to swell and the slopes
began to wash and many Of the young
trees were washed out by the roots.
The air was laden with dampness
and Old Sol, the great fungicide, did
not have chance to dry things out,
and in spite of daily doses of copper
solution the fungoids grew and
spread and large number of his
trees in pots were ruined in spite
of every effort to prevent.
All Floridians will, am sure, be
very much pleased to learn that this
is not the only section that has floods
in the dry season and drouths in the
rainy season. These floods lasted for
two months and he became very much
disheartened, but since January the
weather has been much more favor
able and plenty of sunshine has check

rightly predicted that an ultimate re. sul, of it would be to give the country greater confidence than ever in Arizona mines. That prediction has come true
 Though not much has been heard of take or fraudulent mining operations since then, there is nothing in our laws to prevent those SD disposed from on. gazing tn fraud. and doubtless hun drcds of thousands of dollars have been exchanged hy unsuspocting investors for stock in absolutely worthless min ing companies.
 There is now pending m inc District Court, litigation instituted by members of one Arizona company against the president and controlling directors of inc company, in which it is shown that that part of this stock was noatcd at n time when the company owned no mining property at all. and that inc company never owned any, except an abandoned and worthless mine in the southern part of the Territory. and once famous but worked out and worthless mine in California.
 Such legislation as is proposed can be of but great benefit to Arizona properties of any degree of mcrilor- ousncss. There will be nothing in it to scare investors, but on the contrary, it will be guaranty to them that there can bc nothing in Arizona to be scared at.
