One party said if they had
nothing else they had more

the mountains, which we did not
have in Florida. This l had to
admit, but | called his attention
to the fact that in place of
mountains we had lakes and
that one party in California had
told me he would trade all the
mountains in the State for one
of our beautiful lakes.

also in the nurseries, as l want

NJ. E. Gillette Talks
Of Orange Conditions
FLORIDA GROVES CON-
PARED WITH CALL
FORNIA.
(Florida Farmer and Homeseek-
cry.

Mr.. NJ. E. Gillette, OF Tampa,
one OF the substantial business
men OF the State, and an expert
on citrus culture, who has re-
Gently returned from a business
trip to California in an interview
regarding California orange con-
ditions, says:
Il was much surprised to see
how their groves recuperated
IRON the cold OF two years ago,
but conditions i'll California are
50 different from what they are
in Florida; it is hard Tor Flor
idian to conceive OF a tree living
alter having gone through tenn
perature OF twelve or fourteen
degrees ior several nights. Their
soil conditions, however, are
much different from ours. We
have an open. porous, sandy soil
into which the heat penetrates
rapidly and it is easily warmed
up so that Our tree never become
as thoroughly dormant as theirs
do. Their soil, on the contrary,
is heavy, with quite an admix-
ture OF clay and it takes long
time for the heat to penetrate.
They have their rainy season in
the winter and these rains are
generally cold. Ii they have a
few warm days. the ground does
not become sufficiently heated to
start growth in the trees as is
the case in Florida, consequently
when a cold spell strikes them,
as it does many times each Win
ter. the trees are absolutely dor
mant-much in the condition of
our oaks and withstand a degree
OF cold which would not be pos
sible in Florida.
1T looked strange to me, as
I drove by the different groves,
to see so many heaters among
the trees and these are not mere
smudge pots. but great big
heaters which will hold twelve
to fourteen gallons Of oil. 1t
looked to me as though it would
be Just about as feasible to

grow oranges in South Georgia
or Alabama ii as much attention
was paid to the heating OF the
groves on cold nights. At any
rate, | was satisfied that they
have much colder weather in
! California than we have in Flor
ida. and everything | saw went
70 prove it.
The groves in California are,
think, as rule, better cared
Tor than most OF those in Flor
ida, as they seem to take a great
deal OF pride in keeping their
grounds in beautiful condition.
. As a rule. however, the trees at
the same age are much smaller
than in Florida and are planted
4 good deal closer together.
Il visited a number OF the
largest packing houses and in
nearly every instance they
wanted to know how badly we
were hurt by last winters cold
/ told them we had no cold
whatever except what they saw
il the Los Angeles papers. 1t
has gotten so, however. if the
weather bureau predicts a cold
in Georgia, Alabama, or any OF
the southern States, for that
matter, the Los Angles papers
at once come out with big head
lines claiming that Florida is
freezing out again When l
told them that we keep a very
accurate account OF the weather
at Lucerne Park and that we
had seen growing cucumbers,
tomatoes, peppers and other ten
der vegetables there all winter
right out in the open without
any protection whatever, they
could hardly believe it, as they
supposed that we had been seri-
ously injured.
AT another large packing
house they said they were sorry
to hear that practically all OF
the crop for next year had been
whipped off the trees by a
terrible storm which passed
over Florida. I told them I
had heard nothing of this and
that we had the biggest bloom I
had ever seen since I lived in
the State. Californians are
great boosters and it is a very
difficult matter to get the truth
from the rank and file, but
friends Of mine with whom I
had a heart to heart talk told me
that the industry was at a low
ebb in Caliiornia-that they had
received very little for their
crop this season-that while
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-09-17

SOME growers got good prices
the bulk OF them received prac-
tically nothing and they were
very much discouraged. l talked
with a friend OF mine who is in
the fertilizer business and he
said that growers told him there
was no use to figure with them,
that they needed fertilizer, there
was no custom about it, but
that they were getting nothing
for their fruit and they could
rot afford to pay for fertilizer
and really they saw no use in
putting it on to produce more
fruit unless they could get bet
ter prices for it.
Another latge grower told
me the only hope he could see
for the California grower was
that Florida should freeze out
again. l called on a friend OF
mine in Los Angeles who is in
the real estate business. One or
two other real estate men were
in the room and they questioned
me regarding relative value in
Florida and California. One of
them said. You, of course, have
had long years OF experience in
Florida and YOU have visited
California several times and are
somewhat familiar with condi-
tons. Suppose you were liv-
ing in Chicago, knowing what
you do. where would YOU go if
YOU wanted to go into the cit
rus fruit business, and Why"
] told them that the answer to
that was very easy.
Now said I, suppose we
make a few figures and think
I can convince YOU why a man
should go to Florida. Suppose
that | wanted to buy ten acres
around Los Angeles. What
would the raw land COST"
They said about $500 per
acre
Then this land has to be
leveled so that it can be irri-
gated, which would cost SIS to
$50 per acre more. After every
thing is in readiness to plant
YOU would plant your trees and
in thecourse of time they would
begin to bear fruit. We in
Florida could grow as large a
tree in four years as you can in
six. When your fruit is grown
and ready to ship it is 5000
miles from the big markets, ours
is about 1900. Time OF deliv-
FRY from Florida ought to be
about one-half what it would be
from California. Our freight
