ORANGE GROWING IN MARION
COUNTY
AS Safe Here as Elsewhere, Says John
n. Mathews

Orange growing in Marion county
Florida" said John H. Mathews to
visitors to whom he was recently
showing the grove which surrounds
his home at Gambler. Mr.. Mathews
also pointed out that Marion county
produces a better quality of fruit, that
the trees are freer of diseases, and
that less fertilizer is required here
than elsewhere.
The five acres of large orange trees
which surrounds the Mathews home
were budded on the stumps of the
trees that were frozen in 1895. The
trees came back into bearing about
1898 and have been bearing ever
snice. Sitting on the porch of his
home, Mr.. Mathews named over the
groves in Gambler and in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the town. He figured
up over 160 acres of oranges, naming
about seventeen owners, the groves
varying in size from an acre and a
half to thirty acres. The oranges are
of the "Parson Brown variety, for
which Marion county is famous.
Gambler is located In a section CT
rolling country, which is peculiarly
adapted to the growing of citrus fruits.
All Of these groves came through the
freeze of 1917.
Needless to say that with all Of
these orange groves, Gambler is most
attractive place. Many properties
have changed hands there within the
past year.-Marion County Floridian.

Perry is one town that is not kick

before the count was taken. Perry
was included in precinct Number one,
so no one knows what the population
of Perry proper really is. Everybody
in Perry is satisfied that it is the larg-

it has been steadily growing every

Secretary Daniels explained that
the actual amount awarded is higher

tional 10 per cent.

stated that this loss of pay to the
men would enable the navy yards to
make the pay increases without
materially decreasing the working

cents an hour for the machinists TO
minimum of % cents an hour for
other trades.
