sembly became laws last week and
are now effective; the ninety days
time limit after the adjournment of
the legislature expired June 18th.
The new laws that stand out prom
inently are those known as the prison
reform measures, which completely
revolutionize the conduct Of the
State penal institutions, providing as
they do for the indeterminate SEN
tence of convicted persons, the ex-
tension of the parole system and the
conversion of one of the state peni-
tentiaries into a state reformatory
for convicts under thirty years of
age.
Another radical law now in effect
is the act changing the method of
inflicting the death penalty from
hanging, which has been the means
employed since the birth Of the state,
to electrocution in the state peniten.

mother naturally asked how he did it.
He replied that he arranged the eggs in

Florida oranges are in class by them

flavor that can not be approached in

them to dispose at a good price of lot

While the fact that other people are
afflicted with corns will not enable us
to forget that those i'll Our own shoes
are very troublesome, the knowledge
that we have not been singled out as
the victim of ill-htting foot covering
gives us courage. This principle makes
the citrus growers of Florida feel less
dissatisfied when they learn of the great
damage done to orange and other trees
in California, and in fact every orange
growing section of the United States.
We do not exult in the misfortune of
California, but as we look over our
groves and see where old Jack Frost
has hit us here and there our first i'm
pulse is to find fault, but reports from
all over the country show lis that we
have Jared no worse than others, and we
take courage and say that in climatic

That orange growing is more profit
able in Florida than in any other sec

question, and Our prediction is that from
now on the interest in this industry will
increase more rapidly than at any period
in the past.
But, some timid one will ask what as

We wish every reader of this paper
could have heard the excellent talk of
DIR. Knapp in the Jacksonville Board of
Trade Auditorium on January IA. The
good doctor made us feel proud of the
privilege of living in Florida His talk
was chOck full of good, sensible, prac-
tical advice To be sure, he caused
some criticism on account Of advocating
farms larger than five acres, and doubt
less many will need larger acreage
State dotted all over by groups of 5
acre farms This would concentrate our
rural population and make country life
much pleaSanter in many ways Our
little we'll willed wives could run across
few acres and have a talk with the
neighbor; there would be greater op-
portunities for religious or social gath
erings; the children could have better
educational facilities ETC. Those of us
who have lived in sections where the
farms are very large and consequently
the houses badly scattered must recog-
nize the fact that the "little wife" rather
than ask for the use of a horse or to
take the time necessary to make social
call on her distant neighbor has settled
down and grown old before she ought,
simply on account of the lack of
chance to be relieved of the horrible
monotony of the drudgery to which a
woman on the farm is usually subjected
and which a few social privileges would
have lessened.
To be sure, if man wants to plant
five acres in fruit, he should have more
than five acres of land, for even inten-
Slve farming can not be conducted among
a lot of trees, but it is not essential that
the grove or orchard be right around the
house, it can be off some distance. In
other words, when a man gets his five
acres in such state Of cultivation that
he can handle more land to a good ad-
vantage he can procure it at little dis
tance from his home place, but let the
5-acre tract first be brought up to the
limit of production before he tries to
