the rainy season here in Florida, we
have refreshing showers most every
day, and after the shower is over,
how refreshing and lovely all nature
seems. With the air purified by our
thunder and lightning, one feels like
new man.
Northern people think it must be
very warm here in the summer
months, but it is not. Only three
times, the past year, has the Their
mometer been above 90, and then one
can always find cool place in the
shade.
I will write you before long on the
agricultural prospects of Florida,
which is an interesting subject, and
one that should interest every one
that owns an acre Of land in this part
of the state. The resources of
Florida have never been but partially
developed as yet, and it is beyond
the mind Of man to tell what it may
be. Our pine forests should be well
protected, and the cry should be uni
versal: "Woodman, spare that tree. "

Citrus Fruits in Louisiana.

From a recent report OF the LOU
isana Experiment Station we extract
the following, giving their latest ex-
perience with citrus fruits:
We have continued Our growth OF
citrus fruits, charging the number of
varieties, which this year have suffer-
ed very markedly from an attack OF
scale insects and the white fly.
The method of spraying for the ex-
termination Of the scale insect, which
has proven efficient in other sections,
is here complicated with another pro-
blem, namely the control Of the small
ant that has become so numerous in
the vicinity of New Orleans. These
ants carry the insects and replant
them on trees after they have been
sprayed, and thus vitiate the results
of spraying We are now making ar
engagements with the Crop Pest Com
mission to carry on in cooperation
with them some investigation looking
to the control OF this pest under the
new conditions. 1t is to be regretted
that the funds of the station will not
permit the employment OF an ento-
mologist to devote his time to the
study Of the ant, as this insect is prov
ing a great annoyance to all house
keepers in the infected territory, and
will probably become menace to our
orange groves, and possibly to our
sugar interests. Our hybrid oranges
frudted to large extent this year,
though likewise suffering from insect
attacks. The object of experimenting
with these hybrids is to see if We
cannot get an edible orange that will
withstand our coolest weather here
without protection.

Florida's Bright Future.

Speaking OF the prosperous condi-
ton and the future outcome of the
Peninsular State, an exchange says:
If Florida should continue to grow
for the next ten years as she has for
the last half decade, she will become
even a greater state and a great po-
pulation will be within her borders.
Capital is rapidly developing the hidden
treasures Of the land of perpetual sum
shine, her agricultural and horticul-
tural development is exceeding the
most sanguine expectation, and it does
seem that the States future is aglow
with bright prospects, A greater part
Of the people are out Of debt. our
mercantile establishments are doing
nice business, the banking institutions
are fourishing, the farmer is doing
we'll. All in all, our people are happy,
contented and prosperous.

Fair Florida in Summer Time

Sometimes in talking with the old
settlers they will tell you that the
summer months are the most beaut1-
full and pleasant of all the year. That
the heat is no more oppressive IN
the summer months here than 1t
usually is in the North. And then the
much ENJOYABLE rainy season coming
as it does in June, July, August and
September. at just the time OF the
wear when it is so much needed to
give new life to all vegetation. w hen
our Northern friends come here, IN
the winter, they don't stop to think
that Florida has her winter months
as we'll as the North; that many OF
our trees lose their leaves; that the
wild flowers are, most Of them, mis-
sing. But when our rainy season
commences, all nature seems to put
on new life The gopher holes and
little salamander mounds OF yellow
sand so thickly scattered about
through the woods, no longer appear
to the eve, but are all hidden with
grasses and beautiful flowers, and
everything looks SO fires and green.
It is summer time, and the woods are
all in bloom, and the birds make
music all the day And the aroma

miles southwest of the town.
The oldest newspaper is The ST..
Petersburg Times, which was first
published by Mr.. A. C. Turner at
Clearwater, in 1891, as The West
Hillsboro Times, and was bought and
brought to St. Petersburg by Rev.
R. J. Morgan in 1892. Upon it's pur-
chase by J. Ira Gore in 1895, the name
St. Petersburg Times was adopted.
A village was organized in 1892 with
David Moffett mayor, VIM. J. Nc
Pherson clerk, and Geo. L. King, J.
C. Williams, Frank Massie, c. Durant
and A. Norwood, councilmen. This
organization was legalized and the
present town limits incorporated by
act of the legislature of 1893. The
charter revision by the legislature
of 1903 created the City of St. Peters,
burg.
It was not until after the freeze Of
1895 that St. Petersburg began to
make regular business of growing.
Its light escape from that terrible
calamity Immediately made Plnellas
Peninsula famous, and the settlers be-
gan to pour in These people told
their friends elsewhere of the PENN
sula's great advantages and attrac--
tons and it's magnificent climate, and
more people came, and in turn told
their friends; and SO began the ope-

made St. Petersburg what it is today,
and that in all probability will con-
tinue it's good work down to the end

immense orange trees, it occurred to
them that land that would produce
such mammoth orange trees ought
surely to produce something else if
properly cultivated and managed. They
at once plowed their grove land, which
in most cases was under high state
of cultivation, and planted it in crops
Of various kinds as an experiment, and
in most cases their harvest was a
revelation to them, and it at once
became evident that diversified crops
was the only successful road to pros
perity; and today it has been conceded
that the destructive freeze was bless
ing in disguise, as the thousands Of
happy and prosperous farmers and fruit
growers are in evidence. The fruit
industry was not abandoned, only in
cases Of financial embarrassment. The
groves that recuperated and the new
groves planted would not Indicate to
the new corners that the beautiful
groves OF few years ago had ever
been destroyed. Aside from the fruit
industry other crops are now Guilt
waited with the most gratifying results,
and every industrious and enterprislng
man now possesses a S1lug Dank &C
count and is enjoying life and longev-
ity in this delightful climate
I'm describing the success OF agri-
cultural pursuits, the raising OF fine
stock must not be lost sight of. In
stead OF the razor-back hogs the va
rieties Of pure bred hogs which thrive
best in this mild climate have been
introduced, and Florida can now pro-
duce as fine stock as any section of
the United States, and it is now con-
coded to be most satisfactory and
profitable industry.
1.-The climate conditions and the
easily cultivated crops for their main
tenance and fattening has demonstrated
that a pound of pork can be produced
for about one-half OF the expense that
it can be produced in any other State,
except it be in some other of the
extreme Southern States. The scrub
stock has seen its day and has been
supplanted by blooded stock as sue
cessfully as in the pig industry The
failing off of the shipments of Western
beef in the past few years is very
pronounced, and the indications now
point to the export of fine beef cattle
from her borders in the near future"

Florida's Resources.
Plymouth, Fla.

N. H. Fogg, of Atlamonte Springs,
Orange county, has written to the
Chattanooga Tradesman a most inter-
esting letter relative to Florida's many
interests, which is full Of truth, and
which in part is as follows:
1T is but few years since the
productiveness of Florida became
known to agriculturists-in fact only
since the disastrous freeze of 1895,
previous to which time it was con-
sidered that nothing could be raised
at a profit here except citrus fruits,
razor-back hogs and scrub cattle. But
after the almost complete destruction
OF the magnificent orange groves those
who could not leave the State on &C
count of their depleted bank accounts
and those who would not leave this
most delightful country, began to look
the situation in the face
"On looking over their sandy soil,
that had produced such beautiful and

Spare the Birds.

From all sections of the country
come reports of the destruction caused
by insects. The fruit and the gardens,
the wheat and the cotton none OF
them seem to be safe at some season
of the year, and no part of the country
is immune. It seems as certain as
anything can be, that this widespread
insect pest is the direct and inevitable
result of bird slaughter. If the in
sectiverous birds are killed, the insects
will multiply. There is no escape from
that conclusion.

more money for support of the schools
