The Orange Section Of louisiana

TEE sale by Mr.. Irving Lothrop OF the well
lnown St. Clair plantation at English Turn, Ia.
~ Mr. T. A. Goudeau of Lake Charles brings
nm some points in connection with orange GU,
ture Oh the Lower Coast that ought 10 anu
doubtless will add very materially TO the Va,ue
Of Lower Coast lands for orange culture MI.
Goudeau's attention to orange culture on 1e
Lower Coast has doubtless been brought ABOUT
nv the study of climatic conditions within tne
limits of the United States as to where ne coulo
the most successfully produce the orange tnat
carries his name and the production OF when
brought him the medal Of the American fomo-
logical Society.
The history of the seedless orange has been
rather a romantic one. Some lady traVelleo III
the tropics and having her attention called IN
tho limited States to certain excellent oranges
was led to remark that while visiting in the
tronics she had eaten oranges that were entire
w seedless. This was brought to the KNOW
edre Of the United States Department OF Agr'-
culture and efforts were at once made to get
cuttings from the tree from which these seed,
less oranges were secured. This was done ana
q small number of the cuttings from the tree
from which these seadless oranges were secur-
ed. This was done and a small number OF tne
cuttings were received by the US Deparp-
ment Of Agriculture and efforts were al once
made to propagate these orange trees all Oh
them failing however but one. That survivor
became the parent of the present American
nayel orange, which has becoms the dominant
orange in California and while lacking a little
in piouancy of flavor, has the merit OF being
very pulpy and practically seedless. A singular
feature Of the navel orange is the presence OF
Al embryotic orange opposite the stem enc OF
tbe,oranpe and this embryotic orange, con-
cealed lust beneath the surface, gave the name
0 f navel to the fruit.
Without any adequate knowledge OF MI.
Goudeau's seedless sweet orange Tor wn'cn ne
j was. given the medal Of the Pathological Society,
% only know that this GColdeau orange is sald
S be superior to the California Washington
navel orange and that it is a seedless, swee'
orange.

severe winters we sometimes nave,
DESTROYING the orange trees, but lltue a''en-
has been given to the production OF oranges
in fact considerably less now than before
civil war and for one or two decades afoer
civil war. Yet the careful observation OF
climatic conditions that have prevailed winch
have injured the orange trees at times Will
show that killing freezes below the city of New
Orleans on the Mississippi river are compare
tivelv infreauent. By modern methods, killing
nm the earth above the budding point OF the
orange trees a killing freeze is no longer feared
as killing the orange tree entirely, but may re-
suit in losing one crop.
During the last forty years any freeze that
hurt Louisiana hurt Florida as much, and in
fact some of our freezes were found to nave
had a final worse effect upon Florida than upon
the Lower Coast.
The methods of prevention Of complete dis
aster and the amelioration OF the temperature
by smudges will probably give greater security
tn orange culture on the Lower Coast than has
been the case even in Florida. A recent IN
ouirv as to the actual effect of smudges firing
where it has been systematically done by Mr..
Robert S. Moore, some thirty miles below New
Orleans is stated to have demonstrated the fact
that a temperature of from three to five de-
erees higher has been and can be secured with
any fairly conducted system Of smudge firing
This can be done at a limited cost and simply
reou;res promptness when the conditions OF the
weather indicate the desirability of such efforts.
OF course when severe disasters only come
once in ton years and then without any mater
;al regularity, there is some disposition to take
chances Of such disaster. This disposition If
fairly we'll repressed and if disaster be always
feared and sometimes expected, it can lmost
ALWAYS surely be effectively resisted and such
successful resistance will be the making OF the
Lower Coast, the orange garden Of the soutf
and. in fact. the orange garden OF the Un'teo
States.
California will doubtless remain as a compel
;tor as in some of her valleys with rarely eve'
or never any frosts, but they had trosts tner
this wear when we did not have them IN thu
section and the disaster there was greater thai
here.
With these data before us and with MI
Godeau coming to the Lower Coast anu STUDY
;np the grounds carefully and Typographical
and choosing English Turn plantation wher
the river turns to the west and where the mort
winds must cross the river, he has chosen .
ideal spot for orange culture and we feel
c,oat interest in his success and shall hope tn;
i will be q brilliant one. We understand TN
he has already planted some thousands OF tres
and is going ahead earnestly with the Wo >,
HIS success will mean much for the e'tlre hos
er Coast and will add greatly to the value
our lands, the climatic value Of which has new
been fully appreciated.

together and fight for rights, as the
clubwomen and striking mattresses
have. More power to 'em.
In these days of women's vote it is
probably wise idea for city officials
to take a little notice when women
raise rumpus about certain doings
that don't look right to them.
Funkhouser probably realized this
when he granted the women couple
of policewomen to watch over the
mattresses.
A man is mighty liable to have
tough shedding, whether he be elect
ed to position or appointed to posi-
ton, if the women voters can't see
him.
They ought to give Carnegie
medals to those coppers who wrench
ed those Mattresses arms and jerked
the young girls down to the station.
You know, folks, it takes lot of
nerve to treat meek persons Of the
gentle sex that way.
Of course, if a MAN were to do
it, we would consider it cowardly.
But with those big husky coppers,
backed by their stars, a couple of
guns and billy, well that's real
bravery. ...
Sic those same cops on a tough
bunch of gunner or sluggers- what
would be the result?
An Englishman came over to this
country one time and laughed when
he heard Americans singing my
Country 'Tis of Thee" song
where do you get that My coun-
try?'" he asked, ."when half Of you
don't own enough to plant a geran-
ium on"
Well, anyway, they are having
oodles of'rain out in the warmer por-
ton of the West. And now wouldn't

cate from the odor of garlic or stand
outside the car and freeze?
You can't decide? Well, get on a
Halsted car and you'll have to do one
or the other.
How long is the complaining side
going to get away with continuances
in the cases against those arrested
striking mattresses?
Four times have the defendants
dragged slew of witnesses down to
court to hear the same old story,
Continued" And it's always been
the other side that has asked for the
continuance.
Go to it and settle the thing! It's
way past time!
So Funkhouser is going to inVesti-
gate the arm-wrenching coppers deal.
Say, Major, send the guilty cops
out in the stockyards district.
Or maybe it would be good idea
to let those cops do corner duty
down in a traction company tunnel.
That's low job in one sense of
the word but you would hardly
think that anything would be too low
for that cop that was low enough to
bring pain to a defendant of Eve.
Ten of our city oouncilmen will
soon rise and sing that beautiful lit
tie bullet-'I Was But I'm Not" And
then please retire to the makeup
