States Can Encourage immigration.

States Can Encourage immigration.
It is we'll known that individuals
and corporations are forbidden by
law to solicit the immigration of for
eigners under promise Of employ
ment Violation of this law renders
a person liable to fine, which may
be as much as $1,000.
1t is announced in the newspapers
that Secretary Straus has decided
that the states are exempt from the
operation of this law and may adver.
tise and solicit immigrants by such
means as they choose.
1t would be wise plan for Our leg
islature to create a bureau of imml-
grafton and authorize it to send an
agent or agents to northern Europe
and try to fill up our vacant lands
with the best class of laborers that
can be found in those countries.
Possibly some of the better class
of Italian farmers would be better
adapted to our climate and needs than
Swedes, Germans, &C., but there are
no better laborers than these people.

All that is now needed, apparently,
is practical assistance toward putting
the plans outlined into operation
There can be but one result if the
work is carried on intelligently and
theoretically, and that result will be
success.
Speaking of a branch Of the same
subject, the Nassau County Star
says:
A stream of European emigrants
to the south has fairly set in. Eigh-
teen thousand young men and women
are booked for passage from Sweden,
most of them for the state of GeOr-
gia The Swedes are virtuous peo-
pie and hardly know how to loaf
With the tide fairly set in, it will
take only few years to number the
European emigrants in the fields
of Southern labor by the millions and
it betides i'll for the idle and improvi-
dent type of negro, type so numer-
Gus as to characterize the race No
number of immigrants will drive the
industrious and orderly negro out of
employment somewhere, but the type
that has brought this on will have
to pull himself together and be man
and have the virtues and the strength
of character of a man or he will die
out. The crisis for the idle negro is
close at hand

Plans to Solve the immigration
Problem.

There is a general desire, in all
the Southern States, to induce a
larger immigration, from some parts
of Europe The Miami Metropolis
says:
One of the most serious problems
as we'll as the most literally dis
cussed throughout the south is that
pertaining to immigration Many
ideas for bringing in and populating
the Southern States with the most de-
sirable class of foreigners, have been
advanced, but as yet proper and
satisfactory solution has not been
found.
Believing, however, that the exist
ing conditions can be overcome a
meeting of the Southern immigration
and Industrial Association was re-
Gently held at Columbia, S. c., and
plans formulated as the basis of an
intelligent campaign The plans, in
substance, are:
''The establishment by every south
ern state of departments of immigra-
ton and commerce.
"Such modification of existing i'm
migration laws as will render effec-
tual the work of these state depart
ments.
THE diversion of Atlantic steam
ship service to southern ports to the
end of building up an independent
southern commerce, and securing de-
sirable immigrants for this section
"The systematic refutation of SLAM
ders tending to impede immigration
to the south
"The best endeavors to correct
abuses that may reflect in any way
injuriously upon the people of this
section
"A thorough campaign of education
to increase interest in and attendance
on technical, agricultural and indus
trial schools in the interest of the
SOUTH"
All of these methods have been
discussed in a more or. less desult-
DRY manner from time to time, but
previous to the meeting of the asso-
citation had not been put before the
people of the south in concrete form.

they should begin at once to do all
in their power to be among the earli-

Orange Trees and Injurious Insect

Orange Trees and Injurious Insects.
This week we quote long article
from the Citrograph on Barring Out
Suspected Stock 1t shows what has
been done in one county of California
to keep out injurious insects. There
is no doubt that the old proverb, can
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" is strictly true when
it regards such insects. 1t is a pity
that this state has not a law provld-
ing for such rigid inspection as is re-
CURED in California To be sure they
may be said to have LOCKED the sta
bic door after the steed was stolen, -
for they have many injurious insects,
yet there are many more that may be
kept out.
The author of the article makes
some sweeping charges against some
Florida nurserymen. We hope for
the honor of the profession that they
are not true But if true, they date
so far back that the parties are prob
ably out of business before this time.
It seems incredible that men, intelli-
gent enough to be nurserymen, should
do anything so short-sighted as is
charged against these parties.
Do you not think that it would be
a profitable investment for the state
to provide for the inspection of nur-
sery stock coming into the state, in
order to prevent the introduction Of
any more insect enemies of vegeta-
ton of any kind. We provide for
the inspection of nurseries and GER
tifcates that the stock is free from
injurious insects. But if proper pre-
cautions had been taken from the
start, there would be no such insects
in the state
We have let in the San Jose scale
and the white fly, but there are still
others that are not desirable neigh
bors. Shall we do all that is posi-
bic to prevent their introduction?

Gainesville, Fla, Jan. 9, 1907.
At the eighth annual meeting of the
Melon Growers Association held
here on January S, 1907, resolution
was adopted calling Convention Ct
Fruit and Vegetable Growers of the
State to meet in Jacksonville on We'd
nesday, January 80, and appointed del
egates to the same.
The object of the Convention will
be to take concerted action to bring
before the Interstate Commission
the matter of exorbitant freight and
refrigerator rates and to get some
relief on the same.
It is a fact that we have no car
load rates to the East on many of our
products, and that the grower has to
pay just as much per package whether
he ships two packages or carload of
four hundred
There is carload rate on
cantalopes and all other classes
of freight to all points, and if we
make the proper effort there IS
no reason why we should noe get
relief from this arbitrary action of the
railroads, as we'll as reduction from
