Cement Coated Nails.

We found an article in the Califor-
MIA Fruit Grower which has very much
the appearance of an advertisement
but which reminds us that there is no
doubt it would be an advantage to
many packers of fruits and vegetables
to use cement coated nails. The ar
ticle in question contained a table
showing the comparative holding DOW
er OF smooth and cement coated wire
nails. Without quoting the table it is
sufficient to say that the figures show
that the coated nails have more than
double the holding strength of the
common wire nails. The tests printed
were all of six and eight penny nails
but 1t is added that the smaller size.
three and four penny, show up much
better in comparison. The statement
was made that the coated nails we're
sold at the same price as the plain
wire. Before saying anything about
it, we wished to be sure how thew
compared in this state, therefore we
wrote to a wholesale house in Jackson
vile, enclosing the article and asking
tor some information on the subject
They sent us a circular of the manu-
facturers making much the same claims
as were found in the article. The DEAL
ers quoted the two kinds of nails at
the same price per keg, but added that
IN keg Of common wire nails, there
were one hundred pounds of nails, but
in keg of the coated nails there were
just the same number of nails but of
a smaller size SO that the weight vas
only 70 to 50 pounds. The truth seems
to be that you get nails enough to
make the same number of crates G
boxes, as with the common, but that
being coated they will be nearly or
quite twice as strong, therefore the
coated nails will be the cheapest.

and should certainly be protected. 1t
is possible that occasionally it may
do some injury by eating little fruit,
but though it is provoking at the
time, we should remember its good
deeds the balance of the year and be
willing to pay a little fruit in return
for it's valuable services in destroying
SO many insects. You will find an ar
ticle from the Michigan Farmer, else
where this week, containing an argu-
ment in favor Of the meadow lark.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. Is, 1907.
Don't Ship Green Oranges.

Elsewhere you will find an item, from
the Florida Advocate, which says that
oranges will begin to move from De-
Soto county within two weeks. We do
not say that they may not have oranges
which will be ripe by that time, but the
probabilities are very much against it.
lhe season is earlier than usual, and
some early varieties will be fit to eat
at an earlier date than usual, but it
seems doubtful if any will be in a con-
dltlon to be sold, this month, without
INJURY to the future market.
The last number of the Fruit and
Produce News contained an article on
this subject, most Of it is made I'D OF
extracts from the letter of an orange
grower at Barlow. He takes strong
ground against the common practice.
OF some growers, Of shipping fruit as
soon as 1t is large enough, regardless
OF its quality. He quotes from the
letter OF DR.. Phillips to this paper,
printed IN the number OF July "a, and
endorses all that the doctor says Ihe
writer also makes the suggestion that
the health officers OF the various north
ern cities would be fully justified in or
derlng the green fruit dumped as
menace to the health OF the public. We
believe that this would be very good
tnlng tor the orange growers o.
da. A very few sell some of their hall
ripe fruit at good price, but the re-
suit is real loss to the state. The
dumping OF few cars Of this green
trult would put stop to the business
OF shipping green fruit. The writer
goes too far, however, for he advocates
a rule by the Health Boaruo .

RECEIPTS CHECK ADVANCE

New York. March AFTER making an
other new high level for the movement.
the cotton market ruled rather irregular
and finished the day at net decline of )
points to an advance of points as com
pared with last nights close. Sales We're
estimated at 250oOO bales.
The opening was barely steady at a net
decline of l point to an advance of 4
points, which was considered better than
due on the cables, There seemed to be
quite good deal for sale, but there was
also aggressive support and overnight
buying orders Prices soon advanced on
this demand to a net gain of about to
points, with shores covering in view
of the flrmness of the market in the face
of disappointing cables. The larger re-
ceipts at Galveston than estimated and
the larger estimate for tomorrow's re-
ceipts at Houston checked the outside
buying movement, and during the middle
of the day prices reacted to a net loss
of about to 10 points on the active
months under realizing and selling for a
turn. As soon as the offerings of long
cotton subsidized however, the market raj
lied ON a renewal of support reaching
about the previous high point. Later
fluctuations were irregular with the clos
ing tone steady but some to points off
from the best
Southern spot news was somewhat con-
fiictng, some dealers claiming that there
was a less urgent demand. while others
reported q better demand for the lower
