reach the market, but with poor trans
portation service during the past few
weeks, very few of them have reached
there in perfect condition. Good pric-
es prevailed for first class fruit and
were in good demand. When oranges
are shipped in good condition from
Florida they should arrive in New
York in perfect shape and not be
over five days in transport, but when
they are delayed ten or twelve days
it means disastrous loss to many
growers as we'll as embarrassing to
the commission men.

A Florida Home.

The editor of the Florida Advocate
(Wauchula) has been visiting and
tells of one home which he saw. AS
we read the description we wondered
if any California homes could exceed
it in variety of tropical fruits. Of
course there are some things, which
are grown in California, that do not
thrive in Florida, but is it not also
which will not live in California?
Here is the Advocates account:
We spent a few delightful hours
the other day at the home of our
well-known and honored fe11ow-cit-
izen, VIM. E. Pabor, the poet-ed-
itor, so known to the editorial fra
ternity throughout the land. We
have rarely visited retired coun-
try home where there are so many
interesting things to see, especially
in the plant line, for here you will
find plants growing which came
from the remotest parts of the trop-
ical earth Just to mention the
names of some of them would ex-
cite the interest of any botanist or
lover Of plants and flowers. Here
you find the Kai Apple, of Natal, the
Sapodilla, of the West Indies, almost
every known variety of pine apple
including one whose leaves are edged
with cruel hooks about an inch apart,
some turned one way and some an
other, woe unto the person who tries
to handle it.
Then there is the Sour Sop and
Custard Apple, from Jamaica Also
the Rose Apple, the Surinam Cher
ry which has a beautiful acid fruit,
red in color, the Sapota, which grows
to be large tree and produces fruit
like muskmelon for size
There are several varieties of Man
goes, small in size now, but if protec-
ted from cold will become fruit bear
ing in two or three years.
Then there is a Spanish Lime or
Glnep tree resembling the much talk
ed of Soapberry tree.
Guavas from Hawaii, black pep
per vine from the East Indies, Annat-
to plants with beautiful ve1vety red
berries, and large clumps of the Car
DOMAIN plant which produces the Car
DOMAIN seeds Of commerce.

are assembling, it is appropriate to
vigorously call attention to the recog-
milton that is due agriculture in mat
tiers of legislature. It is not Our Alas
ka gold, our Colorado silver mines,
nor our manufa cturing industries,
great as they are, that constitutes the
source of American wealth, but the
produce of the American farms. It is
estimated that the crops from these
farms will this year supply at least
S7o,ooo,ooo worth each month for ex-
port, cotton leading off with about
$4oo, 200, 900 worth to it's credit
1t is not, however, the magnitude of
these exports from American farms
nor the gold that these exports cause
to flow back into the channels of
trade in the country that alone en-
titles the industry to recognition, but
the fact that this vast amount of
money finds its way through great
number of employees engaged in
growing, transporting and handling
these crops into the treasures of 9th
er industries These transactions,
vast in number, contribute to the gen
eral prosperity that is seen on every
hand 1t is right, therefore, that the
interest of agriculture should be we'll
considered, not in the interest of far
mers alone but in the interest of
every other industry Such consid-
Grafton does not imply any socialistic
or populistic tendencies or policies,
but fairly placing agriculture at the
basis of all industries and basing all
conclusions therefrom It means
such broad consideration of the in
terests of the country as whole as
can only come from an intelligent
recognition Of the basic value of agri
culture Local conditions may call
for greater consideration Of other
interests in localities where such in
terests are more prominent, but in a
boad sense agriculture is the basis and
should be so treated

Tea and Coffee plants, Cinnamon

Tea and Coffee plants, Cinnamon
and Chocolate trees can be seen.
Palms of several sorts, Rubber and
Fig trees, do not exhaust the list, by
any manner of means, for nearly all
the common South Florida ornamen-
tai and Towering plants are found
here. Mr.. Pabor is evidently a born
lover of natures splendid plant pro-
auctions, and the way he speaks Of
them and calls them by name, indi
Gates sense of companionship with
them that ordinary mortals do not
feel But Mr.. Pabor and his stall
wart son, Charles, have something
else to do aside from caring for these
hundreds of interesting plants. They
have the oversight and care of orange
groves containing some 5000 trees,
most of them not yet in bearing, and
pineapple sheds covering 10000 pine
apple plants. All look very flourish
ing, and the prospect Of large crop
next year is excellent The Pabors
do not intend to be caught mapping if
a cold snap comes. So every shed is
we'll supplied with fat wood and kind
lings.
Mr.. Pabor owns lake all by him
self, and near it. his coy home Pansy
Cottage, named for his accomplished
daughter, whose skillful touch of the
piano, serves to while away dull care,
for many an hour
The poet has a corner room, most
attractive, with it's desk, books and
cot, where he can read and think
and dream the dreams that are sup
posed to be the special privilege of
those devoted to Apollo.
Over this peaceful home presides
the quiet, cheerful matron, who has
been the poets tried and true COM
panion during the ups and downs of a
long and eventful 1if,
AS we said goodbye to our hos
pitab1e host and family, we could not
help but feel, that with his surround
ings of fruits and flowers without,
with music and books within, and
loved ones by his side, he was emit
tied to Thanksgiving day every day
in the year.
Agriculture Should be Prominent.
Probably there is no state in the
Union where agriculture, or rather
horticulture which is only a branch
of agriculture, is so completely the
great source of income as Florida
We have but little mining, few manu-
features, and, aside from the lumber
camps and turpentine farms, the in
come of the state is derived directly
from the soil. We have, at different
times, expressed our opinion that far
mers were and ought to be the most
influential class in this country. We
have just found an editorial in the
Mirror and Farmer which takes the
same ground, it is as follows:
At this season of the year, when
congress and many state legislatures

les can plead no practical con-
gestion of traffic or severe weather
to account for this delay. Receivers
say it looks as though the railroads
were trying to ruin the Florida bust
ness as we'll as involving great hnan-
cial loss on the commission mer-
chants AS an instance of the careless
and incompetent work of the rail-
roads, a car of fruit over two weeks
ago was billed out of Florida to New
York The consignee did not receive
his car and went after the R R.,
which had the car After some time
it was located at Cincinnati How it
got there no one seems able to ex-
plain. Another receiver had billing
from the P R R. After nine days the
car came in over the Clyde Line with
the fruit in wasty and decayed con-
dition. No excuse or reason seems
to be given by the railroads or steam
ship companies for the state of af-
fairs"
~ The receivers in New York are
= warm and they claim that it looks as
ss though the railroad and steamship
companies were uniting in an effort
, to ruin the Florida orange business
One indignant receiver is quoted as
follows:
"There is more or less talk at
Washington about railroad legislation,
but the sooner the Government takes
hold of this kind of business the bet
ter it will be for all concerned. 1t
is certainly an outrage that the peo-
pie who put their time and money
into growing crops should be COM
PEELED to suffer by the carelessness
and negligence of the railroad and
steamship companies. 1t certainly
means ruin for nearly all concerned.
The merchants of this country are
getting to the point where they are
simply at the mercy Of the railroads
and steamship companies. They have
no redress as the Government does
not protect them No other Govern
ment in the world would allow trans
portation companies to ruin business
the way they are doing here. Moth
ing demoralizes a market SO much as
wasty and decayed fruit If the fruit
had been bad when shipped there
might be some excuse, but [ know
that the condition of the fruit at load
ing station is excellent. The trans
portation companies charge express
rates which we are compelled to pay
and they should be made to furnish
the service Fruits can be brought
from Canada and Porto Rico for less
than half of what it costs from Florl-
d. I am in favor of Government SUI
pervision of transportation and posi-
b1v Government ownership, if by this
means we could be assured of better
service"
