G. S. Blood successful grapefruit
grower Of Terra sela, is setting out a
tract of 500 acres in grapefruit trees
for a New York syndicate. Mr.. Blood
has a grapefruit grove Of IL acres
from which he is said TO have netted
$4,000 this season. He has 1900
bearing trees in his grove which are
set only II feet 8 inches apart, which
accounts for the extraordinary yield

on the contrary. the entire question

ed, for while the general exchange

business of the exchange and to meet
other necessary expenses of the mar

ing, any OF the funds thus collected
from the growers remain in the hands
OF the exchange, such funds are, at
the end OF the season, pro rated back
TO the growers. through the sub-ex-

the number Of boxes shipped through

making this system, i'm our Judgment,

possibly render it, a complete and
perfect system, and one we most
heartily recommend for the adoption
OF the orange growers of Florida, IT
being impossible in our judgment to
conceive more perfect organization.

AS stated in these columns last
week, the lower rate given Cuban
pines from Miami over Dade county
pines is stirring up a fuss, and the
Florida East Coast Railway and Mr..
Flagler are being cussed all along the
line On some points the growers are
not to be blamed for cussing, but on
others they are wrong in blaming the
Florida East Coast Railway.
MIR. Flagler is a business man, and
no doubt believes he can build up a
paying business by building his rail
road from Jacksonville to Key West,
with its millions of outlay, and there
is no one but what trusts he will be
successful. He is building to Key
West at this time, not for what little
business Key West may give him
that is sure. He is going out for the
Cuban business for one thing and we
all know the competition he will have
TO meet to get his part or any part
of this business. We also know that
the fruit, pineapples and citrus, bust
ness in Cuba is just starting and that
the output is rapidly increasing. What
we all do not stop to think about is
the fact that if there was no Florida
East Coast Railway, Cuban growers
would market their pines with their
different water lines, competing
against each other, at the present
rates or lower, as the quantities in
crease On one or two ships alone
from Havana to Mobile recently were
more pines than the Florida East
Coast Railway has handled all this
season from Cuba Let the railroad
get all this business they can, help
them to get it if we can. Let them
show and establish the fact that they
can make a good profit on hauling
pines at the cut rates.
Let them demonstrate that they
CAN lay pines down in Cincinnati in
quicker time than it now takes to
lay them down at Jacksonville Let
them make barrel or two Of money
out of the Cuban traffic if they can
get 1t just TO help the Florida bunch
pay the companys expenses and prof
its. The Item hopes they will make
millions out of IL instead of some 9th.
er transportation company.
The present rate given Cuban pines
is nothing new, some years old, and
II is only the increased quantity OF
fruit coming via the Florida East
Coast Railway over last year and the
year before that is bringing the mat
ter more TO the attention of the grow
ers.
All the roads are showing that they
can handle these solid trains through
I'm quick time. They are billed through
10 Cincinnati with no changes, and
little trouble on the part of the rail-
roads, as compared to the single cars
that go out over the Florida East
Coast Railway. on which the buyers
and brokers have a flt II they do not
have a telegram from many points,
showing where car Is and then chang
ing the routing and even destination
