Our state is being settled with good
citizens. According to the last census,
me trace OF increase was 30 per cent
Inc next census will show at least as
nigh per cent. The population is
made up of enterprising citizens from
every state in the Union and from
various parts of the world. There are
now various plans for colonization pur.
poses in Florida 1t would be injurious
to our state for people to come here ex-
pectlng too much and go away dissats-
fled. | am satisfied that there are lands
IN the state which would suit the whms
and desires of any person in the world
if they would only take the trouble to
look for the particular piece of land
which they wish.
The following is taken from page 1888
of bulletin of the State Department
vi agriculture.
.rhe success of vegetable growing
in Florida is too well known to justify
going into lengthy details as tn methods
of cultivation or of transportation.
Among the most profitable crops are
tomatoes, beans, Irish potatoes, celery,
cabbage, lettuce, peppers, egg plant.
From the growing of each of these
products thousands of people reap
rich reward for their labor every year,
and many of them make comfortable
fortunes; most, if not all of these vege-
tables, are grown at seasons of che
year which enables them to command a
monopoly of the markets, as well as
prices. Many of these crops, bring
handsome returns. Tomatoes for in
stance, have yielded as well as 81, 600
per acre, but the average runs from
$500 to $500; Irish potatoes will average
near $500; lettuce from $500 to $500
per acre, and celery as much as $1,5D
per acre.

growth Of this once discarded, but now
popular, fruit. So popular has it be-
come that it is looked on now as almost
a necessity, not only as a breakfast
dish, but it appears on the menus as a
first course at many state dinners and
social functions, besides being highly
recommended by leading physicians as
a great relief for Bright's disease,
rheumatism. consultation, malaria and
many other kindred complaints, the acid
of the grapefruit being so strongly i'm
pregnated with quinine properties as to
serve as an excellent tonic and ap-
petizer, besides working favorably on
tho kidneys, more promptly than any
other fruit acid. Even the rind of the
grapefruit is said to produce an excel
lent tonic when boiled. While grape.
fruit is said to have its origin in the
shaddOck, it is evident that there are
several varieties. for the shaddock as
we know it is usually larger than the
grapefruit, is mostly pearshaped, thick
skinned, and when cut shows a pinkish
color. while the perfect grapefruit is
round, thin skinned and juicy, with
WIlOC puIP' DVCWCCu VIC yCui lCOO
and 1870 small quantities of grapefruit
began to make their appearance in the
New York market, coming there from
the West Indies, mostly in schooners
carrying Abico oranges, pineapples,
conch shells, etc. So limited was the
sale that seldom did consignment real
ize expense charges, the fruit generally
finding its way into the hands of vend-
ors who loaded their wagons and hauled
the fruit about the city calling them
California oranges, forbidden fruit,
Paradise fruit, or using any name
best suiting their sale. Several hun
dred barrels of this fruit were shipped
from New York in the early seventies,
but with no financial success.
Nearly all of the citrus fruits con
tain more or less of the medicinal
qualities of the grapefruit, which makes
them the most healthfu fruits grown,
yet the grapefruit stands at the head
OF the list.

"My desire is to max myself clear
on any proposition which I'regard as
paramount Importance in the coming
election. You know the running of the
State government is an immense UNI
dertaking. The collection of the reve-
nues of the State, their wise and eco
nomical expenditures, require on the
part of the governor the most careful
attention, the same attention which
you men in his audience have to give
to your ordinary daily work. The gov
ernor should be somewhat familiar
with State affairs and State institu-
tions. May / say, without Boosting
and without being immodest, that
have some knowledge of the duties of
the executive office, that I know State
affairs somewhat and State institu-
tions, n if you choose to make me
your governor I shall give to you a
clean and business-like, n as wise
administration, within my power to
give you, II I promise you that nc
dishonest or disgraceful act shall sully
that office during my term. The Re-
publican party in New Jersey has been
progressive. 1t has kept it's ear to the
ground. always remembering that the
duty of the principles of the party is
to stand upright. Immediate popular
ity is not always a healthful sign
Those acts which speak with public
favor, after calm and deliberate con
temptation on the part of.the people,
give to the party executing and foster
ing them that sincere hard grip or
humanity. without which no party car
hope to survive"
