Careful Handling OF.
Citrus Fruits PQyS
great

There is no use in raising good
fruit if it is not cared for at pick
ing time and during the shipping
season. The grower should not
lose interest in the fruit until it
is in the hands Of the consumer.
If he consigns he should use ev-
cry care possible to have the fruit
reach the market in good order
H. E. Stevens, plant pathologist
to the University of Florida Fix
pertinent Station, calls attention
to a recent statement issued ry
the United States Department of
Agriculture. "It is estimated
that more than 95 per cent. Of the
decay of citrus fruits after they
reach market is due to fungi in
duced by mechanical injuries.
Blue mold decay in oranges,
grapefruit, lemons and other cit
rus fruits is frequently so serious
as to demoralize the market.
There is not only the direct loss
of the fruit through decay, but
the indirect losses due to depre-
citation in prices for fruit actu-
ally sound, to reputation for poor
keeping quality, and to the pro-
portionately high overhead ex-
pense of handling a perishable
product which develops great
waste and spoilage in transit and
after arrival at the market. "
Results of the handling and
shipping Investigations carried

any party applying for license
to file with him undeI ath, duly
authenticated, statement of the
value of the property or amount
OF the capital stock, etc, of his
business. The failure Of the tax
collector to require this is
grounds for removal and his neg
lect in this behalf should be re-
ported by the Comptroller to the
Governor.
''Section SO provides that it
shall be a misdemeanor for any
Iperson to fail to pay his license
taxes required by law, and pro-
vides, further, that the enforce
ment of license tax shall be
made by the tax collector of each
county by seizure and sale of the
property where the tax is pay
able to him, or by the State Treas
urer or Comptroller where the
tax is payable to him. This Sec
tion further provides that it shall
be the duty of the tax collector
and county judge to report to the
Comptroller and the State Attor-
Iney any violation of this Act. The
section clearly imposes upon the
tax collector of the respective
counties the duty to collect all
license taxes payable to him..
"Section 60 provides that
when it shall be necessary for the
Comptroller or State Treasurer
to enforce the payment of any Ii
cense tax to either of said offici-
ais, they are empowered end au-
thorized to issue warrants direct
ed to the sheriff of any county to
collect the same, which warrant
shall have the same effect as an
execution issued out Of the cir
cult court and the sheriff shall
have the same fees allowed on ex-
ecution. This section clearly ap-
plies to license taxes payable to
the Comptroller or State Treasur-
er and has no reference to license
taxs payable to the tax collector
of the respective counties.
"Section 81 of this Act pro-
vides the manner of issuing IL
censc and provides how the same
shall be issued by the tax collect
or and county judge Of each coun-
ty. 1t further provides that if
the payment of license taxes is
made to teh State Treasurer or
Comptroller, the license shall be
issued by the officer to whom the
must be made.
"There is no provision in this
act giving the Comptroller the
to enforce the license
tax against state banks or any
other person or corporation,
where the tax is payable to the
tax collector 1t is only in such
cases where the license tax is paid
to the State Treasurer or
Comptroller as in the cases of
railways, telegraph companies or
Pullman companies, that the
Treasurer or Comptroller has the
to enforce the collec-
tion of these license taxes by the
issuance of a warrant or the sale
Of the property to satisfy the
same.
Referring to that part of the
editorial appearing in yesterday
afternoons Times, in which it is
said, "And it is hereby made the
luty of the Comptroller to report
al such failures to the Governor
on receipt Of the license report"
refers to the duty Of the Comp
troller to report to the Governor
for suspension Of any tax colIec-
tor who fails to comply with this
section when issuing license"

VOLUME XIII NUMBER 81

The following article concern
ing the resourcefulness of Florida
was printed in one of our exchang-
es without any credit except that
of Exchange" We wish we
, knew the fellow who wrote it, so
that we could give him the credit
due. But since we do not, we are
going to print anyhow, because it
is well worth reading. 1t reads
as follows:
Florida is one of the most re-
Sourceful states in the union, re-
gardless of what the chronic kick
ers and liars say about it. Many
people come to Florida each win
ter seeking new homes. Many of
these are practical, common sense
people who are capable of making
a success wherever they may go,
but there are some who never
made a success of anything in
their lives, no matter what they
were or what they undertook.
The former class exercise good
judgment in the purchase of new
land for their homes and go to
work with a determination to sue
ceed and they do so. Then there
is a class who come who expect to
find conditions far better than
they really are, so are disappoint-
ed and return to their former
homes. Then there is class who
were never out of city in their
lives and would not know head
of cabbage if they saw it growing,
and expect to make living from
the start by farming and truck
growing. After coming here some
of these never go into the country !;
before coming they have drawn
upon their Imagination to such an
extent that the Garden of Eden
would be a disappointment to
them. This is the class that usu-
ally fill the northern and western
papers with false reports regard
ing the conditions that exist in
Florida.
As farming and truck-growing
state, Florida is a success. Of
course, there are a number of
crops that are cultivated in the
northern and western states that
have not yet been successfully cul-
tivated in Florida, and never will,
as the climate conditions will not
permit them. But there are G.
nough crops without these to
make Florida a success. On most
any of our fiat woods land as
much as four crops can be grown
successfully in twelve months, and
yet the yield of the four crops will
more than average up with any
one of the two crops grown in the
northern states.
A few years ago it was said that
corn could not be grown proftab-
ly in Florida, and we do not yet
claim Florida as corn producing
state, but as a crop succeeding po-
tatOes or some other crop, it has
proven very profitable to the plan
ter.
The writer has been over a FIVE
acre truck farm in the winter sea-
SOn-When the land III the North
was covered with snow and ice
and counted twenty-seven differ
ent varieties of vegetables grow
ing, and all in high state of cul-
tivation. This planter was grow
ing vegetables exclusively for the
local market, hence the great var
iety, and he made a success of it,
too.
In Florida, like all other states,
there is a variety of soils, some
more fertile than others, and the
man who comes here to make a
home, and living by truck farm
ing, must be sure and get land
that will produce the best crops.
But if you should happen to get a
piece Of land that will not produce
please be charitable enough not to
