FLORIDA CATTLE RAISERS' AS
ISOLATION

Colonel S. H. Gaitskill of Mcintosh
and Mr.. 2. c. Chambliss of this city,
are back from Barlow, where they
have been attending the Cattle Rails
ers' Association.
There were thirty-one cattle raisers
in attendance and some of them were
the owners of the largest herds in the
state All were more or less delight
ed with the steps taken by the ESQ.,
citation.
1t seems that there has come an
end to the Cuban market and now all
Florida-raised beef must be sold al
most entirely within the limits of the
state, and with all the herdsmen sell
ing in competition with each other it
has reduced the selling price, while
the middIe-men, and not the consum-
ers, have gotten the benefit of the re-
duction The association at Barlow
has made it possible for all the cattle
to be sold through a single agency,
and in this way better prices are hop
ed for for the raisers. Most of the
cattle now grown in south Florida are
sold in Tampa.
The officers of the association are
the following:
President, Garrett Murphy.
Vice president, H. F. Moody.
Secretary, E. S. Skipper
Colonel GaitSkiIl says that the cat.
tie in south Florida are in splendid
condition; that there have been more
rains in that section than with us,
which has given an impetus to the
growth of grass, and the ranges are
in fine. shape.
He says that the truck farms are
also LOOKING well and the people are
not only hopeful, but are sanguine.
The states outlook is in every way
encouraging.

CROKER ON FLORIDA

In the news columns of the Times
today appears a story of unusual in
terest and Importance to Floridians.
1t is to the effect that after having
tried all the warm winter cIimes of
the civilized earth, Uncle Richard
Croker, the renowned Tammany sa-
chem, has determined to hereafter
spend his winters in Florida as the
best of them all This is a sincere
and accurate tribute to the quality. of
Florida weather that there will be no
attempt to gainsay. In the same sto-
ry, as it originally appeared in the
New York World, much stress was
laid upon Mr.. Cookers absolute and
permanent retirement from politics.
Now. we do not need any additional
democrats down here in Florida. but
it would be taken as a favor if Uncle
Dick would call together a few OF the
| boys and give them some educational
talks about how to create and pre-
serve a first class article of harmony.
But this will not be insisted yDon
Just let the aged eeteran taxa spiel
or two for Florida, and we will let
him off from most other Iabors. This
selection of Florida confirms the idea
that 1t was by his level head and nat
ural talent that Uncle Dick controlled
Tammany for so long and so har-
moniously. That his selection of
Florida for winter home will 90 far

BRADFORD COUNTY STRAW8ER
RES

The depression nthe price of straw
berries last week was shortliyed.
The price went as low as $3.50 per
6ushel for only one day. and since
then the growers who sell at the sta
ton have been receiving from s. to
$3.50 Returns for berries shipped
ON consignment have ranged from S.
10 as high as SD per bushel, so that
he average price for the past ten
days may be conservatively estimated
at s.. Since the shipments have be-
come large enough to load refrigera-
tor cars most of the fruit is shipped
in that way, although shipments of
considerable size still go forward by
express in refrigerator boxes. Up to
Wednesday 1895 bushels had been
shipped in the cars. The shipments
for the season by express more than
equal this number. and from the best
information at hand it is estimated
conservatively that $500 bushels have
already been shipped from Starke
alone. Lawtey has done as well.
making total of at least 1000 bush
els shipped from the Bradford county
berry belt. This is a fine showing for
this stage Of the season and with FIVE
weeks more of shipping the prospects
for a prosperous season seems very
bright-Starke Telegraph.

TOMATO CROPS HIT BY RAINS
And as a Result a Is Per Cent Loss
Has Been Sustained-AlI Terri
tory North of Miami
Submerged

OuOWGTSSu
As a result of the heavy rains of
the past two or three days at least IS
per cent. of the remaining tomato
crop in the territory between Miami
and Fort Lauderdale is a total loss.
Especially is this true of the crops
on the land east of what is known as
The Ridge" the tide water backing
up so high in the drainage bitches
that the water could not flow off the
land. Practically all of the tomato
ground in this section is under water
with the fruit soaking and rotting.
So great has been the damage that
growers and produce men declare the
loss will be fully ninety per cent. The
greatest loss is reported in the vicin-
ity of Dania, though reports from Fort
Lauderdale are to the effect that all
crops along the state drainage canal
have suffered equally severe.
Several of the large packing houses
closed down yesterday to await the
result of the loss, announcing that
they would not open up again under
one week.
South of Miami the loss is not so
heavy, but along the edge of the
'glades and in all other low places,
much damage has been done by the
water
Market prices on tomatoes have
prevailed very low the past several
weeks. and this, with the loss sus-
tanned by the rains will put the grow
ers all to the bad.
J. c. Green, one of the large grow
ers OF the Dania section. reviews and
expresses the situation in the follow
ing lines:

LEMON DEALERS STUNG.
Railroads Find Way to Defeat Pur-
poses of Tariff Bill.

The citrus fruit growers Of the Pacific
Coast have been handed a lemon by the
transcontinental railroads, and from in
formation and complaints which reached
here are thoroughly worked up.
After having waged a successful and
somewhat expensive campaign IN Con-
gress while the tariff bin was under con-
sIderatiOn, they succeeded IN having a
duty placed on lemons. To accomplish
this they sent delegations here, and In
other ways brought considerable influence
to bear on the House and tho Senate
Finally they got what they conceded to
be a fairly reasonable duty on lemons.
Now all the transcontinentai railroads
have placed on file with the Interstate
Commerce Commission a notice that on
November ID they VIII increase their
freight rates on lemons from the Pacific
Coast TO Middle Western points. The
increase will make lemons pay the same
rate as oranges. grape fruit. and lines,
whereas previously they paid something
like 10 cents hundred pounds less
To summarize the situation the car
riers have increased their rate on lemons
in exact proportion to the amount of the
protection afforded by the Payne-Aldrich
tariff act
