suggestions just as they devel-

Tell your people, he said.
that farming in Florida has its
share Of work, as elsewhere.
That's the first thing. Some

and different working conditions

farming to them, he will not put
the cart before the horse as
some do. This is just a word OF
caution. And while | am speak

that it is not wise for a man to

Business Manager l.. ID. Jones,
OF the Florida Citrus exchange
said few days ago that he
would not be surprised if it ran
to as much as 100000 boxes or
perhaps more, which will make
it the largest crop of fruit the
state has ever harvested.
And despite the efforts of our
California friends to show to the
contrary, it will be one of the
best crops of fruit this state has
ever grown.
Will Be Fine Quality.
Reports from all over the
state are to the effect that the
crop will be OF unusual quality.
From California sources our
friends i'll the northern markets
have been told the Florida crop
his year had suffered severely
from the drouth in the early part
lot the season and that it would
I've OF very poor quality. This is
mot going to be the case. We
are going to show the world one
Of the largest crops we have ever
had and one OF the best as we'll"
Officials figures for the total
crop OF 1884 are not at hand
but the crop will run close to T.
100000 boxes. Approximately
al,5oo cars of fruit were shipped
which at 225 boxes to the car
give 6.oS7,5oo boxes OF fruit.

migration to this country as we have

that most of the European nations are

has been demonstrated beyond a ques-
ton that living can be made without
difficulty by industry. AS a matter of
fact, some of the most desirable farms
of the future in the United States are

scarcely been dreamed of. Many of

they didn't know any better and simply
because they could secure a living i'm

1t occurs to us that our departments

whole situation and assist in directing
desirable emigrants to locations in the
South, where they could be independ-
