ange trees in hammocks never before
penetrated by white men. While the In
dians confined the planting of their or
ange trees to the obscure hainmocks, as
security against the intrusion of SOL
diers and the early white settlers, the
L Spaniards, a few years afterWard, took
the seed from the fruit of the trees plant
ed by the red men and made groves out
in the open-on high land in the more
accessible places. And from this small
beginning in the sixteenth century Flor
ida's leading industry grew to its pres
cnt proportions.
When Ponce de Leon came to the
southcrnmost peninsula of North Ameri-
ca it was new country. He landed
near St. Augustine on Easter Sunday,
and christened the territory Florida, the
Land of Flowers. He found Indians in
possession of the country, but had no
serious difficulty with them. In the years
following other Spaniards came and es-
tablished colonies. Then after the Span
ish came the British. The indolent, slow
going Englishmsn found the orange fair
ly well established, and he very soon saw
in it the means of making a comfortable
living with the expenditure of mini
mum amount of labor. He planted
groves, gave them very little attention,
but gathered profitable crops. AS the
years passed, Florida became a very
popular rendezvous for the Remittance"
man-that is to say, the Englishman
whose home folks sent him across the
pond with the promise of regular re-
mittance so long as he remained away.
These settlers made more groves, tended
them when they felt so inclined, but
never failed to gather the fruits thereof.
AS time passed more thrifty class of
settlers came to Florida, noticeably af-
ter the territory passed out of the pos
session of Great Britain to that of the
United States. Then the orange indus
try took on a new lease of life and was
developed along more satisfactory com
mercial lines New methods of planting
and cultivating were introduced The
remittance" man either modernized his
efforts or retired from the orange grow
ing business. The romance was gone out
of the raising of citrus fruits. 1t had
proved its adaptability to the genial Flor
ida climate and hundreds of men came
into the state to engage in orange cul-
ture. For many years no other indus
try was followed, save, in the northern
sections where cotton was king and in
some portions on the east coast where

Today the growing and marketing of
Florida oranges and grapefruit has
reached the maximum of efficiency
through the organization of the Flori-
da Citrus Exchange. This is the con-
Meeting link between the grower and the
consumer, and it is growing stronger ev-
cry year. 1t looks out for the handling
of the crops of its members until they are
in the possession of the ultimate consum-

and consumer are amply protected The
Exchange is non-profit making, co-op-
erative organization, and stands for per-
feet, tree-ripened fruit, uniformity of
pack. safe and speedy transportation,
marketing at the right time, and care

tention is given to every detail, for it is
the pride and boast of the members of

houses the utmost care and vigilance are
exercised; modern machinery cleans,

THE RURAL PRESS
Tbs Local Paper a mo5t useTui

PuIoit and School a Trinity OF
Influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building

Py Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life Is needed IN
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront The
city problems are blazonea upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed In the country press.
but the troubles o. the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package Outlines OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs OF the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects In our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly I'M
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity Of powerful IN
fiuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO.
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer In this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable.
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
Is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
Its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

Dry Prospects,.

One hundred years of continuous
rainfall records have recently been
completed in New Bedford, Mass, and
serve to disproye thoroughly the COM
mon belief that the climate is not so
good as IL used to be. Only half as
many dry periods occurred In the last
nifty years as In the first fifty years ;
30 that the records really are warn
ing for that section at least, to expect
more dry periods in the next genera
tion. The recent decades have been
fortunate above the average, and con-
seQuently the next few decades are
quite likely to pay the bill.
The records were started In 1914 by
Samuel Rodman. and continued by him
nntil his death, in 1876. His son then
kept them until his death, in 1905. For
more than ninety-one years the aim
fall was carefully recorded for exactly
the same spot in the same yard. The
chief engineer of the state health de-
partment has now completed the hun.
red years of figures by obtaining the
late records from another observer in
New Bedford, taken a few miles from
the Rodman place.
The average annual rainfall was
t545 inches; but in the first fifty years
there were four very marked dry Pc
riods Of two or three years each. In
the last fifty years there were only
two such dry periods. Eve.
