OBEY YOUR PARENTS

written for the Ocala Banner
Two brothers once, of merry mood.
Were sporting in their simple play.
When, chafed and furious from the
wood,
A lion roared against his prey.
Between them and the help they
claimed,
Was interposed a lofty wall;
And, bark! beyond it, each is named
1t is the anxious fathers call.
%, children, haste; We shall not fail
OF safety with your sire and
friend"
Folly" said one, for us to scale
YOn stones, which men can scarce
ascend.
See you not that so rough the path
So high the wall, its tOpmost stone
Ere we could gain, the beast, in
wrath.
Might rend and break us bone h

T." said the other, come what may
Will not despise our fathers call;
'Tis safest always to obey

A ladder reaching from its height
Safe now, he turned a wistful eye
His mangled brother met his sight

REcoRD-BREAKER is EXPECTED
Fort Myers Will Likely Harvest
About 400 600 Boxes

A letter from Fort Myers says that
the outlook for the coming orange and
grapefruit crop is decidedly bright.
II is estimated that not less than
100000 boxes will be hauled from the
Caloosahatchee and Orange rivers
this season. Menge Bros. have made
this estimate. and they know about
what TO expect.
To meet the demand they have char
tered three large steamers. The Edi-
son and Uneeda will handle the crops
on the CalooSabatchee, while the SI.
wannee will take care of the Orange
river crop. They also IA r: another
large boat that can be used il needed
The first shipment will be made about
October. Is. The estimate of the size
of the crop may possibly be a little
high. Il will be a great deal larger
than last year, when the shipments
came near reaching 100000 boxes. If
the output reaches 400 eco boxes, il
will be the largest crop ever harvested
in that section.

WESTERN FARMERS PROFIT BY
SCIENTIFIC METHODS

DR.. r. R. Snowden, who is now al
Seattle, Wash, writes Interestingly OF
his observations on farming and poul
try raising in the west. We make
the following extracts from his let
| ter:
zone can learn great deal at Z
first class exposition, but the most
important thing | have learned here
is that the Florida people, as a whole,
DO not properly appreciate and en-
courage the work of the experimental
station. 1t is astonishing how these
westerners avail themselves of tn,
benefits of their stations. One county
alone, Whitman, in this state, profits
to the amount of 100000 annually
from the work done by their expert
mental station. A professor of Nc
Donald College, Quebec, told the wri-
ter that Canada realizes ten million
dollars annually from the increased
yield Of wheat, due directly and Who'll
ly to the Improvement of the seed by
selection and cross fertilization by
the experiment stations. He also
said that they were improving several
breeds of fowls along the line of egg
production. and had reached the
point where the average is $50 eggs
per year, and many hens had reached
the 800 eggs point.
Speaking of poultry, | must tell
you, Petaluma, Cal, shipped out last
year 5,312,S04 dozen eggs, while a
very large number besides are used
for Matching and for the table; their
shipments of poultry lacked but 240O
of being a million head. | am told by
an official of the Petaluma Incubator
Co..-and therefore good authority
that the feed for the chickens amounts
to $4,000 a week; and all this is
within a radius of ten miles. 1t takes
/ five strong banks to handle the bust
ness. The fowls that have placed
| Petaluma in the lead of the poultry
business are practically all of the
white Leghorn breed.
There are some nice things | would
like to say of Lakeland, simply be
cause they are true but this letter is

myself that this is not a pleasure triI

THE PURPOSE OF THE CITRUS
EXCHANGE
Tampa, Oct. 4, 1903.

! tampa, OcL. 4, l9O?.
! To the Editor Ocala Banner:
! The Florida Citrus Exchange has
been organized for the purpose of as
sisting the citrus fruit growers of the
state of Florida to pick, pack and
market their fruit in a better manner
than has ever been done before.
The leading orange growers of the
! state are deeply interested in this
movement. They are working in an
unselfsh manner. giving freely OF
their money and their time to perfect
this organization. Many OF them are
the very men who need such an or
ganization least because they have
been able up to the present time to get
satisfactory prices for their fruit.
There are unfortunately many grow
ers in the state who do not practice
business methods, some OF whom are
too apt to listen to the voice of the
tempter when he promises them re-
turns which are simply impossible.
Our largest growers, however, are
business men, and realize that in d
comparatively short time we will
have ten or twelve million boxes of
fruit to market, and that unless we
have an entirely different system
from that which now obtains, we will
l. Oh
satisfactorily.
This organization has not been
started one day too soon, as while we
have the advantage of the experience
of our brother growers in California,
we realize that it will take time and
| lots of work to perfect this organi-
J cation.
We believe that the press of the
state realizes that what is for the
good of the farmer and fruit grower
everybody and everything else pros
pers, and we have been highly graft
fed by the attitude taken by most OF
the leading papers of the state.
We wish to start an educational
campaign, as most of the growers
have to be shown" 1t seems strange
THAT you have to argue with a man in
Iorder that you may put money into
his pocket. but it is nevertheless true
We will send you from time tC
time articles which we are anxious
to put into the hands of the growers
we believe the press of the state vii
gladly assist us. We will, therefore
ask you TO publish such of these arti
cles as you can conveniently FIND
Ispace for, assuring you that this vii

ANOTHER FLORIDA BOY IN A
ROMANCE

A special telegram to the San Fran
cisco Call of September q, from San
Rafael, Cal, contains the following,
which will be of interest to Florid-
ians:
Harvey and | married today. Eth
el," was the startling telegram receiv-
ed by Mrs. J. w. Cramer here today,
announcing the wedding of her daugh-
ter, Ethel Marie, to Ensign Harvey
W. Mccormack, of the United States
torpedo boat destroyer Truxton, at
Seattle, yesterday.
Although the interesting romance
dates back to the arrival of the fleet,
when the young couple met at navy
function in San Francisco, the news
of the marriage at this time comes
most Unexpectedly, as preparations
were being made for an elaborate
church wedding here October 10th.
The bride belongs to one of San
Rafaers oldest families, and is con,
sidered by many quite as fascinating
as her younger sister, Mabel, who has
often been called California's flares,
beauty.
Bridegroom a FIoridian
Ensign Mccormack, although only
% years old, is very popular in naval
| circles. He comes of a prominent
southern family, his father, John "
Mccormack being a wealthy orange
grower at Gainesville, Florida.
He was graduated from Annapolis
three years ago, and come west with
the big fleet. He met his bride at a
navy ball, and their chance acquaint.
ance ripened into an affection which
resulted in their engagement about
year ago.
Frequent letters were exchanged
between the pair when Ensign Nc
COrmack was forced to accompany
his ship to Seattle, and, unknown to
Mrs. Cramer, a clever plan was ar
ranged for a quiet wedding in the
north. The happy young fiance took
her fair sister, Mabel, into her conf
dence, and together they left for Sc
attic, under the pretext of visiting En-
sign McCOrmack's aunt and uncle,
who had come out from the east.
The first word Mrs. Cramer receiv-
ed from them was the brief dispatch:
Harvey and l married today. Ethel"
Not a detail of the wedding has the
anxious mother.
