Cost OF Planting
An Orange Grove

Florida is the natural home of the
citrus family, and any discriminat-
inS person who has eaten Florida
oranges will never buy those grown
elsewhere if the Florida article may
he procured. The Lakeland section
produces the best oranges in the
world.
The growing of oranges is fasci-
mating occupation, and it has the
practical advantage of being remun-
erative, also. An acre of orange or
grapefruit trees in bearing is worth
from one thousand to two thousand
dollars. Any real estate dealer o.
banker in Florida will confirm this
statement.
About SO trees per acre is the av-
erage plan Of setting a grove. The
land would cost, say 800 an acre,
though il one is satisfied to go fur
ther out from station or road, it can
bo had for less Good two-year-old
buds may be had of the best nurseries
at rs cents each. Clearing the land
and setting the trees will cost from
$25 to $35, and care and cultivation
will cost about $40 a year. The
fourth year the trees should produce
two boxes each. There should be an
increase of one box per tree each
year thereafter. If proper methods
are used, 10 boxes per tree not being
unusual, and as high as 20 toxes,
and even more, being gathered from
individual trees. There is a five
acre grove on the outskirts of Lake
land, the fruit of which for one year
sold, on the tree, for $4,000. OF
course, this is not usual, but it shows
the possibility of citrus culture.
In the Lakeland section one finds
citrus fruit at it's best, and becomes
acquainted with the real delights OF
the orange, the exquisite flavor and
tonic advantages of the grapefruit

The news that men had been found

Chicago, June 1.-THE receivership
for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa.
cihc Railway company, one OF the
great systems Of the country, was
terminated by order of Judge Car
penter in the United States district
court here today.
The decree dismissing Jacob NJ.
Dickinson, former secretary of war,
who has been receiver, was signed
this afternoon. In doing so Judge
Carpenter said:
"I'he able administration of this
property by Judge Dickinson has
made this extraordinary proceeding
possible. This is a reorganization
without sale, the property returning
TO the original company and in this
the proceeding is historical in the an
mails of receivership.
THE Rock Island will pay its debts
and has plenty of money with which
to do so" &,
A meeting OF stockholders will be
held here June 2l and another, as le-
gally required, at Davenport, Ia, June
p. The reorganization plan calls for
the issuance OF $65,000,000 new stock
in two classes of preferred. Banks
and other creditors have agreed to
take, par for par, stock for their debts
to the extent of $30,000,000. Other
problems will be taken care OF by
sale of the remaining stock.
The financial collapse OF the Rock
Island has repeatedly been cited in
congress, in courts and before inves-
tigating bodies as one OF the most
