The Need of Rain.

The damages from the present
drought can be best understood from
the following letter received by the
editor of the News on Wednesday
from well-known citizen of the wes-
tern part of the county:
1--WE are about scorched up out here.
Corn is total failure and will not
make a bushel to the acre in some
places. Oranges are dropping badly.
Out of over 100 Seeding tangerine
trees l cannot see a single tangerine,
Trees that l have gathered as much
as eight and ten boxes from in the
past are absolutely bare of fruit anc
even the leaves are turning yellow ano
dropping. We haven't had rain to dc
any good since the first week in Feb
ruary. | have never seen such dry
hot weather before"
There have been some local rains II

Cards of Thanks-POlitical.

Even the dead politicians are thank
ful not for their defeat, o no-but
for the support of those who believed
in them. The victors, those to whom
belongs the spoils, and to whom will
come the insolence of Office, are also
thankful. Very many have sent these
cards to this office with request that
we publish them. In the way they are
written, at least two columns of space
would be required for their publica-
ton. They are all written in sincere
vein; the writer's evidently meant just
what they were saying; but as news
features they are not worth the space
and the editor has decided that he
cannot afford the space, so he has
punched them. These are the thank
full ones: w. S. Middleton, A. S. Viii

A NEW CABBAGE FOR
SUMMER PLANTING
And fJr Which Seeds will be
Furnished Free on Appli-
cation.

A recent dispatch from Washington
says that a cabbage with flavor that
makes it suitable for use in slaws was
introduced from China several years
ago by the United States Department
of Agriculture, and the Department
now announces that it has been sue
cessfully grown in this country and
that samples of it's seed will be dis
tributed on request until the present
supply is exhausted.
This cabbage is called Pal Ts'al,
"Brassica Pekinensis" and is strain
of Chinese cabbage. Since its intro
duction in Washington several years
ago it has proved unusual promise
for late summer pla ing owing to its
extremely rapid growth, in the De-
partment's gardens. The Department
now recommends it for more general
use.
This cabbage is said to be the main
staple of the diet Of the people in GER
tam portions of the north of China
during the winter. The people of that
district are physically very strong and
healthy. Their cabbage diet is suppl
mented with plenty of coarse whole
wheat -four and maize. When well
grown the average plant, after being
trimmed for the market, will weigh
six to eight pounds, being from one to
two feet long, mostly crisp white
stem, and but little leaf.
The people in China plant this cab
bage thinly. 1t is planted in rows
and then the weak plants are pulled
up, or else it is scattered over space
and then transplanted when of sufti-
cient size. This latter method is said
to yield the best plants, though for a
wnlie the young plants appear to sui
/ fer: yet when the autumn weather
comes on and they are well manured
transplanted plants will make better
growth.
The plants must be manured heavi-
| ly when about eight Of ten inches hlgf
not sooner, or they will "burn," anc
not later or they will not mature be-
fore cold weather. The leaves shoulC
be ted up when they are pretty vel
grown, so that the long, loose leave:
will not fall away from the center anc
become frost-bitten, if eXtra-fne closr
heads are desired. The cabbages neet
a good deal of room. Therefore, tho
plants should be placed not less THAI
two feet in rows that have at les
three feet space between.

]. w. Eaton, who came from Hi
nois ten years ago to Welaka, on &C
count of his health, which has been
fully restored, has left with our
Board of Trade a sample of honey
from his apiary. This honey was
made from orange blossoms, and 1t
would be hard to find its equal any
where in the world. Mr.. Eaton has
about rs hives md has so far this
season gathered over 500 gallons.
He says he has lost thousands of dol
lars this year by not having more
bees to utilize the bloom in his To-
cality. Mr.. Eaton finds a ready mar
ket for his product and intends to
enlarge his plant. "He says there
| is no reason why every farmer In
Florida should not have a few bees
and supply his table with one of the
most healthful of foods" His sue
cess is additional evidence of what
can be done with this industry in
Florida. Root, the well known Ohio
bee man, who spends his winters in
Florida, has urged our people to
engage in the honey business, but
few have needed his advice. Mr.. Ea-
ton however is doing it and with sue
cess.

Valuable Property Transfer

Col. Thomas Murrey, administer of
the Martin Griffin estate has closed
a deal by which the big vacant lot
at the corner of Lemon and First
street will become the property of
Hon. E. E. Haskell, County Judge.
There are some conditions yet to be
fulfilled before the actual transfer
takes place, but the bargain has been
made.
As Judge Haskell left early in the
week for New Hampshire it is i'm
possible to learn what he has in mind
regarding this valuable piece of bust
ness property, but it is more than
likely that he will improve it by adding
a fine business block. The proposed
consideration has not been made pub
lie.
