E, Rose Tells Florida Horticulturists The Need of Immigration, During the meeting of the Florida State Horticultural Society, Hon. K. E. Rose, State Chemist, delivered an address on '"Florida Inmtigration-What Shall It be ?" The address in full was as follows: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: * The subject assigned me, "Florida Immi- gration, What Shall It Be ?" is one that is now commanding much attention, not only in Florida, but throughout the entire South. We have recently had several conventions of representative men on the subject; sel- dom do we have a gathering or convention of any kind, agricultural commissioners, cane growers, turpentine producers, timber men, saw mill men, railroad men, ticket agents, traffic managers, farmers, cattle growers, agriculturists, or horticulturists, but the subject of immigration "crops out" in one shape or another. In fact, the Southern States have agi- tate this question of immigration-foreign immigration-to a very considerable ex- tent during the past few years, much has been said upon the subject, numerous plans have been proposed to turn the tide of foreign immigration from the West to the South. The establishment of direct lines of immigrant ships, from Southern ports to Europe, with agents of the Southern States established in foreign countries, to secure immigrants, is probably the most popular plan suggested. To avoid the con- tract labor laws, the States are asked to do what the citizen (or corporation) is pro- hibited from doing, and also to tax the people of the State to secure cheaper labor to compete with the working men of the State. Requires Consideration. Florida, I am glad to say, has not be- come hysterical or anxious in this matter. She has displayed no great haste to re- ceive the influx of foreign immigrants- Japanese, Italians or Chinamen, so ar- dently desired and earnestly advocated by some of our sister States-urged on by land syndicates-mining and manufactur- ing corporations, desiring to secure cheaper and more servile labor, than is now obtain- able in the South outside the cities. While the phenomenal development of the South during the past decade, along all lines of industry, agriculture, mining, man- ufacture and transportation, has created a large demand for labor, and has largely increased the wages of our working people, it is questionable if it be for the best in- terests of the South, and particularly of Florida ,to encourage foreign immigration. The South is now the only distinctly American section of the Union, where the traditions, habits, prejudices, virtues and vices, courage chivalry, independence and love of freedom, so characteristic of the early settler or pioneer, can he found in its purity; where the true American charac- ter, begat by the "pioneer," "Puritan" and "cavalier" can still be found. The des- cendants of those adventurous men and women, who at their own cost of depriva- tion and hardship, established the original thirteen colonies on the Atlantic seaboard: who first occupied the land, drove back the Indian. threw off the yoke of the old coun- try, with its limitations, political and relig- ions. to establish a republic of free men, where liberty in its truest sense should prevail. True American Type. The true American type-we certainly have such a type-is now found principally south of "Mason and Dixon's line," in the South Atlantic and Gulf States, andI is most strongly marked in tlhe rural dis- tricts of the cotton growing States. par- ticularly in Florida, where most of our people can trace their lineage directly to the founders of the Republic, with little, if any, admixture of foreign blood-de- scendants of those grand old pioneers-- rugged, capable, stubborn, courageous and honest, who, lone handed and by mere force of character, conquered the wilder- ness as an heritage for their children and their children's children. The descendants of whom fought the bloodiest war of modern times, to pre- serve the constitutional liberties of the Re public founded by their fathers. Those fathers, who by their sacrifices, made it possible for the foreign immigrants to flock to thle States--tle North and West-af- ter thle establishment of religious and po- litical liberty by our revolutionary ances- tors. Florida lias had a large increase of popu- lation during the past fifteen years; she Ihas increased from 391,000 to 620,000-a little more than 58 per cent-from 1890 to 1900 she increased 35 per cent (391,000 to 528,000). TIle State's census, taken last year, now being completed, will show a greater proportionate increase. Florida's Great Gain. Florida gained a larger percentage of population than any other Atlantic State during the last United States census period, namely, 35 per cent. She exceeded the average of all the groups of States. That is, the North Atlantic group, 20.90 per cent.; the South Atlantic, 17.90 per cent.; the North Central, 17.50 per cent.; the South Central, 26.10 per cent., and the Western division, 31.90 per cent. Her percentage of increase in popula- tion was exceeded only Iby Arizona, Ida- hoI, Indian Territory, Montana, North Da- kota, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington and Wyoming, from 1890 to 1900, while the in- dications are that her increase for the present decade will be far greater in pro- portion. The census of 1900 shaws Florida's total population as 528,542; of native born, 504,- 710; foreign born, 23,823; percentage of native Iorn, 95.5; per centage of foreign born, 4.5. Our State census of 1905 will show a total of 620,000 approximately. Where They Came From. The most remarkable feature of Florida's population is the very large percentage of native born Americans; particularly natives of the Southeastern States-no- tably from the States of Georgia, South Carolina. Alabama and North Carolina. In 1900, we find Florida born inhabitants 342,818; born in Georgia, 57,692; born in South Carolina, 26.798; born in Alabama, 24,721; born in North Carolina, 23,339; born in New York, 4,465; born in Virginia 3.754; born in Ohio, 2,721; born in Ten- nessee, 2.445; born in Illinois. 2,176; born in Mississippi. 2,102; lorn in Pennsylvania. 1,8S43; born in Massachusetts, 1,402; born in Louisiana, 1,357. All tihe other States and Territories are represented in Florida's population, though the above list embraces all States that have 1.000 or more representatives in our lmpulat ion. Greatest Proportionate Increase. Wlh:t I desire particularly to empha- size is that Florida has had a greater pro- portionate increase in population than any ,tholir State. except the few Northwestern States tmenttitotld previously, that have b)etn filled uip iby foreign emigrants, ex- loiteid iby thle railroads and immigrant slips. for simply !!l bsincss reasons." The "foreign iontiigrant"' is exploited by the ";'nli.iigrant slhip" and railroad like any other colnllmoditv: lumber, merchandise. Ieef tor lIpik. cattle or hogs. And were it not for tli. laws t ptrohlibiting individuals ir t',rltoroations itilporting contract labor. thle question of foreign immigration would be solved at once by the importation of millions of coolies-not Chinamen, Japa- nese or Malays necessarily, but millions of "Hedemptioners," from all parts of Eu- rope, who would be sold for a term of years to those desiring labor, miners, man- ufacturers, planters, sawmills and turpen- tine operators, for simply enough to pay their passage and a profit to the trans- portation lines, as was done in the early days of the last century. Another remarkable feature of Florida's population-not only the great preponder- ance of American born citizens, is the great number of native born children; a popu- lation of 5-28,000 in 1900 shows 270,293 children, or youths less than twenty; 197,- 600 of school :age, and 72,693 less tlian four years old, more than half of our population. Such facts are potent argu- ments against foreign immigrants, par- ticularly when we know that thousands of our best American citizens are now seek- ing lhomtes in tlie State. That this domes- tic immigration is rapidly increasing is patent to any one who is noting tite rapidly filling up of the whole State. I think the State census of 1905 will sur- prise manlly of our people, when the in- crease in population is noted, particularly the natural increase. Race suicide can by no means be charged against Florida, where over one-half the population are school children, or younger. That Florida needs, or can comfortably care for more people, is true; that she is obtaining tlhem more rapidly than any otlhre Atlantic State is also true; that by naturla increase, anld Iby American immi- gration-men and women from the South- eastern States particularly, she is rapidly filling up tlie vacant places is also true. Little Vacant Land. Speaking of vacalint lands, United States and State lands, 1 desire to call your at- tention to tihe fact that there is compara- t;vely little vacant land, State or United States, remaining. The Sate has little left, no homestead lands at all, and has claims against what remains unallotted of some four millions of acres more than site has to meet the claims with. United States liomesleads are being rap- idly exhausted. Most of the desirable homesteads are now occupied. The recent "stone and timber acts" are rapidly ab- sorling thle remainder of the United States lands Ninety per cent of the public do- mnain has passed into the possession of in- dividuals, syndicates and corporations dur- ing tite past twenty years. Not only in this. but in other States. Though Florida hlad probably a greater acreage of State lands titan any other State, except Texas, some twenty-seven million acres, more or less, practically five sevenths of all thle Innd in the State-- less tha:in twenty-live years ago, she today is practic-ally Iankrlupt in Iher landed pos- sessions. anld has claims against her for millions of acres more than slie has to imeet thle claims with. Homesteads are Scarce. tA a recent convention held in tite south- ern part of the State. the statement was made by several gentlemen, men well in- formed and familiar with conditions, that one of the Iprincipal reasons why young men were fhocking to thle cities, was that lands for hlonmes could not be purchased. Thlis was not denied. t hough repeated by several imembelrs. and in tIhe presence of several representatives of the larger land syndicates.

American Immigrants Wanted. Such men as were recently alluded to by .Judge Emory Speer-in charging a jury in a noted criminal case, that has com- imanded international attention during the past seven years. In charging, the Judge said. "I am told that it has been cynically said by a famous New Yorker that no man t he lhas a million dollars can be convicted of -rine in America. The verdict of this jury of plain, clear-sighted, honest Ameri- cans., Ios falsified such pessimism. Of that jury it may be said, that there is perhaps not a man who cannot trace his ancestry to a patriot of the Revolution which es- tablished American Independence. It is true. as I have often declared, that to the honmio genous Americanism of these South- erIn States, when they are plainly shown their duty. our country may ever look with confidence for the enforcement of its laws. and for the maintenance of its in- stitutions." True they will have to purchase their lands-and pay several thousand per cent prolit to tihe present owners, and in a few years, tind it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a freehold, by purchase or other- wise. Doubtless, some of my auditors will con- sider me an alarmist, and believe my picture overdrawn; let me assure them such is not the case. When but a few years ago-less than twenty-the foreign emigrant. the native born young American -had tens of thousands of homesteads from which to select his one hundred and sixty acres; he has today but a few to clho,.e front. and they are remote, scat- tered and not desirable, having but little agricultural value. Restrict Foreign Immigration. While our public domain has to a large ext:.nt disappeared, foreign immigration lthas increased until it has attracted the serious attention of thoughtful Americans. I iquote a recent editorial from the Miami Metropolis, one of the most conservative ,of our Florida newspapers: "Foreign immigrants are pouring into Eas-tern ports in such large numbers the Department of Labor and Commerce has become apprehensive and has determined to more strictly enforce the regulations for the restriction of immigration. "This is a country of vast territory, and its assimilative powers are very great, but there should lie some limit to the influx of foreigners and the crowding of our cities with a population which seriously adds to the gravity of problems that are pressing more and more for solution. The stream otf foreigners is not sulliciently distributed. Too few beconmi soil tillers and producers. It can be easily understood why this country is so. attractive to the poor of over- crowded Europe, and quick and cheap tr-ansportation makes it comparatively easy for them to seek homes. In 1900 there wvre 10.4GO.000 people of foreign Ibirth in this country, and over 21,000,000 born iof foreign parentage. About thirty- five per cetnt of the total population is wholly or partially of foreign parentage. "O(f tlie foreign -horn population ninety four per cent is resitlent in tlhie North, and -'x per cent in the South.

Tiii-es-Union Bureau, Miami, May 1.- The' Florida East Coast Hotel System, which for the past several months has had a large force of mien at work on its new water system, will complete the work in the next few weeks. This will give Miami one of tlte most complete water systems of any city in the State. Four large artes- iin wells were sunk at the old golf grounds which give a daily tlow of 5,000,000 gallons of pure water. These wells empty, or will as soon at completed, into a large reser- voir, which is now under construction. The water is conveyed to Miami by gravity thioiugh a twenty-seven inch pipe, where it empties into another storage reservoir and is taken from there by powerful pumps to standpile, or in case of fire, by direct iprssure. The' supply is ample for a much larger city than Miami, but the company lhaI learned the lesson that Miami is mak- ing a most rapid growth and they are mak- ing ample preparations to meet the in- creasing demand. Recently the water ser- vice has been extended to the south side of ihe Mliami river at a very heavy ex- pense. They are also extending their pipe lines through Riverside and colored town has also been piped. Wherever there is a lemandl for water, the Hotel Company stand ready to furnish it, regardless of cost. as they have the highest interest of tli' citv at heart. Ini this connection it van also lie said, that wherever in the city theIre is a demand for electric lights, the Ilotel company y stand ready to furnish the lights Recently they have put in lights ion thie sotli iidef of the river, so that part ,f tlie city is now well supplied, not only with water and lights, but the city has extended its sewer system there. The Ho- tel company y has also arranged to extend its electric light wires a distance of two a:nd one-half miles north of the city, fol- lowing the line of the rock road. This will lie a great convenience to the people living in that suburb. During the next vyear there are several fine residences to Ise built along the bay front and the ques- tion of lights has given them no little trouble. This extension will solve the prob- len very satisfactorily. The steady march (if progress is to be noted in every portion of tlhe city and surrounding country, new liino, are hiin'g huilt, the pine forest is being cleared for planting orange trees anI pineapples. The farmers are now busy with their crop., tile whole atmosphere is iI charged wilhi prosperity. Il',ssier and Son recently sold for Joseph \. Mcloaldl. two lots fronting on Twelfth anil [Tliirti'inth streets to a Mr. Rowe for the -uin of $15.O000. Properties in all por- tionsi of tile city are changing hands at Ipr,'es that show a marked advance in val ui-. and each year there is a further ad- vance. Since it is a sure thing that the street railwav is to be built at an early tlate. havin i, ne of its terminals in River- sile. there has Ieen ant increase in the de- ltiand for resident lots in that portion of theI city. The south side of the river is making. rapid advances and many new homes are being built and planned for. I'he HIltel companyy is ready to meet any reasonable demand for either lights or water.

Spirits and rosin are keeping up the pace. The price of the colored man and the mule is going up constantly. The political campaign in Florida is a tame affair this year. There is but little doing and the lid is securely nailed to the boodle barrel. The phrase "Draning the Everglades" has been amended to read "Draining the State Treasury." The amendment has been brought about by tlhe developments in the case. It is reported that the Italian labor re- cently imported to the State is not prov- ing satisfactory. thIugh there have been no complaints in reference to the C. W. Chase Chinese colony at Paradise. The new home of the Consolidated Naval Stores Company is a gen. It is located tin the seventh flior of tile magnificent new ('nsolidatild Building. The company hlas the highest offices of any in the city of Jacksonville. It was reported in Washington last week that tlie1 United States (Government was to take steps to prosecute those who have been illegally securing lands in \Vest Flor- ida under the State and Timber Act. If this is the case, there will be some most interesting developments in that part of the State in the near future. The Colourman's Journal of London is still crying against tlhe prices of spirits and rosin and threatening for all of Eu- rope to bring about the use of sulbstitutes. The ('oloirmian's .Journal, however, does not represent the producer. It represents the fellow who uses spirits for mixing paints and for other purposes and there is but little surprise at the course it has pursued -ever since the prodlicers commenced to ,el what their product is worth. INSPECTION LEGISLATION. The naval stores inspection bill, which \\as introduced in the Mississippi legisla- ture at its recent session, did not pass that body, owing to the lateness of its introduction, and to the fact that the Legislature was rushed with work up to the last moment and did not get the time to reach that bill. Mr. C. B. Townsend will introduce the same bill, with some modifications, in the Louisiana Legislature at its approaching session, and thinks the chances are excellent for its passage in Ioui,'alna. Mr. Townsend is acting for the Turpentine Operators' Association in handling this legislative matter The bill is similar in many respects to the bill ipa.ed in Florida and Georgia, with some rather radical differences, put in mainly to conform with the different conditions in that section. Record readers are familiar wit l tie hill as introduced in Mississippi, ais we puilislisl a full summary at the time. NAVAL STORES SEASON. .\ friend of the Record, writing from N'ew Orleans. speaking of naval stores con- diitions west of the Alabama river, has the following to say: 'Tlie naval stores season is very back- ward. between two and three weeks at hIast. The labor conditions are worse than last year. and, from what I can learn, there is no hope of an increase in the crop of 190) over that of 1905. Probabilities are for small decrease. Consumptive de- innil seems to ie excellent for both tur- pentine and rosin and it would be strange :f we do not have satisfactory prices for the season." PROTECTION OF INTERESTS. At every session of the legislature are those. who in order to strengthen them- selves at home. play to the grand stand :and antfnek some of the largest interests of the State. claiming that whatever legisla- tion they propose is not only in the in- terest of ihe farmer. but absolutely es- seinial to his existence. We have heard a great ealn from the Florida demagogues %who butt into the legislature along these lines. Fortunately there is always a curb put on their efforts and the legislature is called upon to kill a great many bills of this character. In lhe first place there is but little protec- tion in thel chlrnater of the legislation pro- osedl. and the farmer is hut little influ- enced by the reports which reach him of the erlidiuct tof the man he hast sent to T:llahliss.e to represent him. The Flor- ida farmer is not a heggar and does not ank ianilinug that is unfair. He does in-ist ,In fair play. and while he does not :ilwNv \s ret it. he has the blame to place ;it the dolor of the very demagogue who is ever switching his tactics and diverting tlie nttfntion of the farming classes from lhe inain issues. This legislative stumb- ling block was in evidence at Tallahaasee -it tIe la't session and he is sure to be there a-Iin at the session of 1907. But the people of Florida are becoming posted andl have been looking beyond the mere outward nets of such men to see concealed some if lthe imot eorrlpt schemes he uses to pToll the top off snme of the money bar- rels whicl are rolled to Tallahassee just nrrevionu to the time that the Florida leg- isla tore convenes.

Annual Address of President McCarty to the Florida State Horticultural Society, The annual address of President C. T. McCarty, of the Florida State Horticul- tural Society, was a careful review of the horticultural interests of Florida for the past year and some excellent advice for the future. The address follows: What was easily the principal feature of the opening program of the nineteenth annual meeting of the Florida State Hor- ticultural Society, was the annual report and address of the president, Mr. C, T. Mc- Carty. of Eldred. President McCarty briefly reviewed the history of the society, paying eloquent tribute to the magnificent work that had been done by his predecessors in office. Then he ook up the work of the present and the future, pointing out the new prob- lems that are constantly arising, and dwelling upon the necessity of carefully considering them and approaching their solution as an organized body. The ad- dress. which is filled with valuable thoughts anl suggestions, is herewith printed in full: Members of the Florida State Horticul- tural Society, Ladies and Gentlemen: This audience will forgive me while T indulge in some retrospection. It is worth while sometimes to lift the veil of the pi;st and behold the achievements of the then actors. That picture reveals to us lessons which suggest progress, hope and advance- ment. At th" outset of this address, it is well for m. to take my bearings and to see what is the duty I have assigned myself; to see and to study the standards that have been set for me in he similar efforts of the past; to study the men and the times that have produced the annual ad- dresses of the past eighteen years. "thur society came forth almost full- fledged from its birth. In response to tihe demands of the times, it immediately took its place among the great horticultural so- cieties of he age. Fortunately, it had as its first president one of those rugged, fear- less and intrepid characters that were transplanted decades ago, from the great prairies of the Northwest to the tropical and sub-tropical conditions of our State. With the accumulated wisdom and ex- perience of a life time, he led the van in the early years of the society's history, and led it with unvarying satisfaction and success. "In its first decade it had become so prominent that it received and entertained with success some of the foremost scien- tists of this and other lands. The energy and persistence. the skill and faith, the merit and the accomplishment of its first president. Dudley W. Adams. are now matters of history. After all it is acts, not words. that count in the life impres- sion one leaves upon his age and genera- tion. Judged by this standard, what a splendid life was his. "It is my duty as well as my pleasure, to put on record the high appreciation this society feels tolay for its first president after he has for well nigh a decade felt upon his face the breath of the eternal morning. Good Foundations Endure. "Cood foundations, like good principles and good practices. never fail to bequeath to siltsehiqent generations their manifld I blessings. "In studying the history of our society luring this period of eighteen years. I find impressed upon this latter half the lareh-hearteil good-natured, genial person- alitv and nnflural ability of its last presi- dlent. C(eorge L Tnher. How fortune our society was when called upon to hear a sudden vacancy in its chief executive, that one so able. so willing to bear and forbear. should be ready trained at hand. "The annual addresses of President Ta- her always contained a message of impor- tance to the society. In times of prog- resannd prosperity, it brought congratu- lation and good cheer Tn time of adver- sit it brought hope. courage and man- liool. and faith in skill and science to overcome difficulties or adverse climatic conditions. His cheery tones were ever on the side of optimism. were ever turning towards the bright side of the picture of horticultural struggle and endeavor in this State, were ever pointing to new means of combating the elements, of overcoming the natural enemies of our chosen indus- tries, and bolstering up those of less faith and courage. "Through all these annual addresses runs the constant tone of enlargement and im- provement. Constantly increasing in pow- er, thought and literary finish, his last annual address becomes a fitting climax to a long series of addresses with which he has enriched the literature of our society." I can well imagine his feelings when pre- paring his 'Message from the Woods,' like that felt by Bryant when he wrote his Thanatopsis, when he gave to his age, in poetry, his conception of a proper ap- preciation of nature and natural surround- ings. "Like him feels John Burroughs, the na- ture-lover, the poet and admirer of the brook, the field, the orchard and the for- est. How much of beauty and poetic feel- ing and love of nature and nature's God are embodied in the president's last annual address, only future generations shall fully appreciate. Present and Future. "'f retrospection this is sufficient. The past, at least, is secure. Our society, hav- intg passed safely the rapids of its upper course and glided successfully along its middle course, now moves forward in the direction of its lower and broader course. It has met the questions of the past. It lhas accumulated wisdom by experience. It should be, and doubtless it is today, well eiluipped to meet the questions of the pres- ent. to maintain the reputation of the past and to lay broad and deep foundations for the achievements of the future. "The problems of today are not more difficult than in the past, but they are more complex and diverse. There are in them a greater number of factors, even if each factor is of less vitality. What message does the present bring to us? "What duty do we owe the today? \What accomplishments can the tomorrow claim logically founded upon today? Are there messages that the horticultural con- ditions of the State at this moment require bringing to your attention? Fortunately we stand in the presence of no clamity.: We do not surround, as we have sometimes done in the past, those conditions that Iuried the hojes of thousands of our people But even these clouds had their silver lining. unseen then, but plainly vis- ible now. We are in the midst of pros- perity long continued and pronounced. -(hir industries have been enlarged both in number and in volume. Our output is greatly increased in every department of horticulture. Our sources of knowledge, )our ability to handle the drawbacks, the 1pess anil the evils of our diversified in- dustries.have been largely increased. What then. is there to consider? It frequently happens that the most dangerous periods are th-se of greatest prosperity. It has been well said that 'Security is mortals' cliefest enemy.' New Field of Battle. "In tile line of thought I shall take to- night I may le straying from the beaten path. may I leading the way into battle- lields xlihere the valiant, the sagacious and ite steadfast of purpose alone can be found at the front. The commercial bat- tlI's of the present dwarf into insignificance the battles with insects, with climatic condlitions, witl all our other obstacles combined. The struggle for new markets, ftor cheaper production, for fairer treat- ioiwnt by our agents in the markets, for fair lrai Is a.nd rapid transit. do not these dmlanil our attention and challenge the hest brains among us? "()f \ilhat avail is it that we devote our time and capital to the problems of pro- duction if the other and more complex ,prblemsl of econ my, distribution, trans- portation. receive not their proper atten- tion'' These things are as much a part of our legitimate huiiness as the cultivation of the soil. the fertilizer we shall use, or thie various matters of every day occur- rence.

"The original scope of our society being much narrower than its present one cur- tailed the range of topics considered at our meetings to a very narrow margin. The original thought of the founders of this society was to make it apply almost ex- clusively to orange growing, to citrus fruits and their allied subjects. "As the years have come and gone, its scope has been widened, so that it now covers not only semi-tropical but also tropical fruits, vegetables and many of the fruits of our temperate zone. This enlarge- ment of its sphere has injected into it new relations and new problems for annual consideration Let us briefly discuss a few of the important items worthy of thought.

It is not suffici- ent that the horticulturist of today knows how to produce the fruits and the prod- nects of the soil. but that he knows as well how to successfully transport, distribute and market them. "Perhaps the largest field for present and future investigation is the one covering the problem of marketing. This problem in- volves the element of business experience and study of the relations of the cost of productoi nand transportation to the mar- ket valeu of our products: the study of the laws of supply and demand as ap- plied to each particular product: a study of the value of organization in the secur- ing of reasonable and satisfactory rates of transportation: of the proper commis- sions to be paid our selling agents, and the proper distribution of the crop so as to prevent a surplus in one portion of the country and deficiency in another. "Were there no such thing as organized effort among those whose financial inter- ests are opposed to ours. there should be no necessity for organization on our part. The value of farmers' nad fruit growers' organizations is in direct proportion to the tenacity with which they adhere to them and the vigor .with which they enforce the principles involved. I do not deem it nec- essary to go into arguments Supporting the needs for compactly united organiza- tions in each of our principal industries. Need of Organization. "The need for organization must he ap- parent to all. For greatest efficiency. con- "olilation of all for thle handling of prob- hems collnnon to all. i' only common sense. Questions like transportation, tariffs for protection, rates of commissions, and kin- dred broad matters can only be handled powerfully and conclusively in the hands of one central organization.

"The solution of these problems will call for the best thought, the most persistent \ effort and the most constant watchfulness of the thoughtful classes in our midst.

In passing, it might he said -- - that the accentuation of the self-interests of the horticultural classes does not nee- essarily mean war upon or antagonism of any other interest.

SNAILS AS A REMEDY FOR WHITE FLY. What promises to rank among the most valuable points brought out during tlhe nineteenth annual meeting of the Florida State Horticultural Society was the dem- onstration by Mr. F. D. Waite, of Manatee, that nature has provided a remedy for the ravages of the dreaded white fly. The white fly and its effects are so well known to the growers of citrus fruits that there is no need for discussing it, especially in Florida. As a pest, it is one of the most dreaded by horticulturists, and the knowledge that patient research and almost limitless experiment has at last apparently found a remedy that is, to all appearances, wholly reliable and absolutely certain, means much to the orange-growers not only of Florida, but of other orange- producing States as well. And that such a remedy has been discox- ered, there seems to be little, if any, doubt. The demonstration of Mr. Waite was very close to being complete and convincing, and the fact that he is fighting the pest with a remedy that has apparently been express- ly provided for this purpose by nature it- self, adds to its value. The question of the white fly and the means of fighting it was brought up by the report of the standing committee on citrus fruits, a committee composed of Messrs. L. B. Skinner of Dunedin; E. L. Brady of Titusville, and L. B .Knox, of Bulow. The greater portion of the report was devoted to the discussion of the White Fly, not only because of the grave importance of this subject to every Florida horticultor. but because, since the last meeting of the Society, there have been innumerable re- quests made for literature on the subject and for advices concerning the best method of treating the insect and its ravages. The committee went into the matter in detail, reviewing the history of the fight waged against this pest, and summing up ably and forcefully the present status of the contest, telling of the experiences of orange-growers in different parts of the State, with the different remedies that have been suggested. Following the detailed report came one of the most interesting and timely dis- cussions that has been heard at a meet- ing of the Society in some time, Mr. F. D. Waite, of Manatee, Mr. Arthur H. Brown of Buena-Vista and Mr. F. G. Sampson of Boardman, being among the leaders in the discussion. It was during the discussion that Mr. Waite demonstrated that he had seemingly discovered a remedy for the ravages of this pest. but in order to understand the full effect of it. some brief idea must be given of the white fly and the nature of the damage it does. The name of this insect pest was chosen because it so fitly described its appearance and thus served to instantly call to mind the pest itself, when it was desired to refer to it. It attacks all citrus fruits, crawling over the leaves and over the fruit as well. The dalmate done, however, is not by eating of c'ther the leaf or the fruit, but because the insect deposits, as it crawls along, a thick, heavy, black mould, eventually cov- eriiig looth leaf and plant. The effect is readily discernible. This heavy,. lack mould shuts up the pores of Ibth fruit and leaf and the effect on the pIlant is exaetly similar to what would ui-1-r should a heavy. impenetrable coat- ing lhe smearied over the lungs of a human loI'nu. The growth is stunted and almost infinite labor is necessary to remove the evil effects. Then, too. even if no actual damage is done, the market valeu of the orange is lowered, as the ugly black blotches de- stroy the attractiveness of its appearance and dealers do not find as ready a retail sale as if the effects were not there. This means that the orange-grower be- fore shipping the product of his groves to the market must, at additional cost and lalor and time, wash the fruit, and even then his labors, in many, many, instances are not entirely successful, and some blotches will remain. Every cent added to the cost of preparing the fruit for mar- ket. deducts from the profits, and, if the actual statistics were obtained, the cost of the pest would probably be astonishing- ly high. For a long time horticulturists have been waging a relentless war against this insect pest, but their efforts heretofore have. in too many instances, met with only indifferent success. tl is for this rea- son that the white fly is so dreaded by horticulturists and it is for this cause that it is generally referred to as one of the worst, if not the very worst, of the orange growers' troubles. But Mr. Waite has finally discovered a rem*dly. His demonstration was complete in every particular and convinced every one in the large audience of its great merits. Then, too, it is the first time that it lha been presented to any similar or- ganization and though the first credit goes to Mr. Waite, great credit is also reflected upon the Florida State Horticultural So- ciety. Mr. Waitz. is an extensive orange grower, living in Manatee, and while at work about his orange groves lie one (lay noticed that a certain variety of snail. quite common on the lianiunck in his home county, was fol- lowing the track of the white fly and de- vouring this black mould that the former insect had deposited on the oranges and the leaves of the orange tree. This at once led him to make further investigation and experiments. More snails of the same variety were secured and placed on trees where the ravages of the l- were most in evidence. The cffct was always thi same. the snails thoroughly cleaning both the leaves and the fruit and leaving no trace either of the black, heavy mouldl. or of the small eggs that later hatch out into White Flies that, in turn, continuee the ravages of the parent fly. Mr. Waite. in order to completely show- to all the work of which these snails are capable, brought with him to the meet- ing a large box. in which he had placed a numblsr of the snails, and in another box lie carried many orange leaves thickly cov- ered with the black mould. l)Drin gthe morning the snails had been industriously at work upon the mould and several of thle leaves had been thoroughly cleaned, not one little trace of either the mould or th small yellow eggs remaining. O(n other leaves the snails were still at work and the members of the Society c(,,ld watch them crawling through the nmould. devouring it rapaciously, and leav- ing Ielhind them the bright, natural green color of the leaf. It created probably more interest than any other single fact brought out in the ineet;ng and there were very many present who believed that this discovery is going to ultimately solve the problem. It is nature's own remedy for preserving her species. and hears. as demonstrated. every evidence of being the solution of the prob- lem. The snail is a comparatively small one. carrying a small Ihell. pearl-like in its ereneral coloring. though thickly marked with small brown spots. When the snails have finished their repast. they draw them- selves into their shells and remain clinging DIAMONDS AND WATCHES- We simply ask a call.

Let us think about these things, talk about them, study them, conquer them. If this thought, talk and study take not the form of action, then have we labored in vain. "During the past few months I ad- dressed a circular letter to every member of the society in which I asked for an ex- pression of opinion on many matters of im- portance and asked for suggestions. The replies have been numerous and my reward ample for the trouble I took. Much to enlighten and cheer the society has come to me. Encouragement for the future and splendid appreciation for the past of the society has breathed from many of the much valued letters received. I desire thanq you most sincerely for these expressions of your better selves. In the quiet of your homes you have said things that you would not say on the floor of this house. You have my promise to use the good suggestions in so far as I shall be able. These heart-to-heart let- ters shall bear fruit. Question State Aid. "Among the weighty subjects discussed in those letters was that of "State Aid" in the printing of our annual reports. A care- ful tabulation of the replies show about an equal number favoring and opposing the acceptance of such aid. Among those fav- oring are some of our oldest and most thoughtful and experienced members. On the other side can be found those of equal experience and wisdom. "Some have cited other States in which aid is supposed to be the cause of their ruin as a Society, while others point out other States in which it has had the op- posite effect. The array of arguments pro and con. is formidable and shows the abil- ity and reasoning resources of our mem- bers. It is not my province or wish to discuss the question or to express an opin- ion on it. If the matter comes up, all the reasoning on all its sides and phases, will he developed and the society can then pass upon it intelligently. "Without taking the time to discuss them here, I will say that many of the sug- gestions made by members will be carried out during the progress of the meeting, as they shall fit into our work. The Time of Work "We are to be favored by a number of eminent persons with addresses and papers during the progress of the meeting, as a glance at the program will show.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly lReview of Trade tomorrow will say: The violent decline in prices of se- ecurities is no criterion of business condi- tions. Railway earnings have continued to surpass those of the corresponding period in any previous year, the gain of April be- ing 9.3 per cent. over the same month of 190l. ainl other standards of measurement make Iqually gratifying exhibits. Liabil- itie, of failures last month showed a de- (l'ei.se If overcrease of over 40 per cent. in Iiiinufaiturinig and 12 per cent in trading branches of business as compared with the previous year. The only drawbacks re- garding the future are the labor contro- versies and the stringency in the money market, neither of which may prove of nmire tlhan temporary duration.

L1 I-r~U1)~~1 r~LTT\I THE WEEKLY INDUSTRIAL RECORD. 17 TRADE IS REPORTED GOOD. Wholesalers State that it is Ahead of Last Year for April. The wholesalers of Jacksonville state that their trade this spring is better than it was last year and that the trade for the month of April was ahead of the trade for the corresponding month last year. The indications are good for the summer, since reports from all sections of the State are to the effect that this is to be a most successful year for the growers of vege- tables. Growing Tobacco in Gadsden County. Gadsden county farmers are just begin- ning to plant that crop of tobacco which for the past several months they have been busy selling to the packers. All is now sold, and there appears no good reason for delaying the planting longer. When the excellent quality of this tobacco is taken into consideration, as well as the ready foreign market for it, the packers figure they are taking very few chances. The farmers figure they are taking none.- Quincy Times . This Was Banner Strawberry Year. The experienced strawberry growers of the county will plant the same acreage this year as they did last, notwithstand- ing the fact that the season just past has been one of the most successful in the history of the county. The growers who have planted strawberries for years, plant the same number of acres each season. They never overdo the thing on the strengthof a very flattering season. \\' trust that our farmers will give straw- berry growing a trial and will find it profit- able enough to continue.-Lake Butler Star. Some Big Onions for St. Johns. Mr. J. C'. Appler brought to the Record office this morning a sample of the Ber- muda onions grown on his place at Mill Creek. Four onions weigh six and one-half pounds. Two of the bunch are the brown Bermuda and the other two are crystal wax variety. They are as fine specimens as have ever been shown here.-St. Augus- tine Record. The Blackberry Entices the Negro. The blackberry season is coming on apace and for the time being the farmers are living insuspense, wondering if it will be possible to hold the laboring class over until after nature's great commissary has been exhausted. aWtermelons and black- berries work great disadvantages to the farmers. It means free rations, and free rations generally mean no work.-Quincy Times. Will Now Eat Key Largo Cabbage. As a change from the tin-can diet which the extension laborers have been subsist- ing on for some time, a cargo of Key Largo cabbages has been loaded on an extension transport to be distributed among the camps on the keys.-Miami Record. Coal Strike at Live Oak. It is not often that a coal strige reaches Live Oak, for there is no coal to mine, but yesterday the two negroes who pass coal at the Seaboard's chute in the western part of the city, went out on a strike for more pay, less hours, less work, more sleep, bet- ter grub, and numerous things, and they are still out. It is not thought, however that traffic on the line will be suspended on account of the strike, or that troops will be called out to quiet the strikers, o0 that the matter will be referred to a board of arbitrators for adustment.-Live Oak Democrat. AMONG THE FLORIDA FARMS. The Florida farmer who has a good field of corn on hammock land this season i going to be in big luck when he comes ti gather the crop. C'on is practically madi in this section, if it was planted early, an( it will be the biggest crop per acre fo many years.-Tampa Times. The Reporter-Star a few days ago mad, mention of Mrs. C. W. Jacocks shipping sixty odd boxes of her famous velve grapefruit in a refrigerator car to Miltol Roberts & Co., New York. The return received were most satisfactory, the frui bringing $8 per box. Mrs. Jacocks says this variety of fruit hangs well on the trees and is as plump and uicy in July as it is during tlie winter. She has a large nur- sery of fine budded trees ready for June transplanting. Orlando Reporter-Star. Dollars will continue to roll into this State from the Northern markets for many mointlis to come.

Mr. Strauss wasi in the city yesterday and sa vs tliat his grove has hundreds of trees loaded with blloom. The trees blossomed full and set fruit in February, which is the regular season and now have fruit as large. as pigeon eggs and will probably set a large c rop from bloom now on. This is on ex\cedingly rare occurrence especially fronl the fact that the blossom is not on the new growth hut from the latent buds on old woodl. This crop of fruit will ma- ture fully two months later than the regu- lar season aii will bring correspondingly high prices. Mr..1. (. (CColi. tlhe capable manager of tli Mitarion Inrs. Ibrouight to the Star ollice to-day a cabbage that was grown on tlhe Marion Farms that we believe is the largest ever grown in the county, if not in thli State. Tlie cabbage weighs thirty lHiunls and will starcely go inside of a flour harrel. If there has ever been a larger one grown in the country, we would like to know when and where.-Ocala Star, ;thli. Now is the time to put out your straw- Isrry plants to make your plants for fall planting. Several are going into the berry business this year, but there is no reason why more should not do so, and put out over fifty acres. That there is money in raising them. there can be no doubt, it has bieen very clearly proven. They are not as risky a crop as potatoes and are easier and neater to handle and best of all you can g.t nore money out of them.-Mac- cle.nny Standard. HALE LEAVES SEABOARD. Captain A. O.

CRACKER FACTORY HERE. d Backed by Big Captital-It Will Be Read] s Some Time in July. o It is reliortedl by those interested that c cracker factory. with a capital of $.iO00( 1 will Ibe in olperation here by July. r Th1e ocer of this new enterprise ar Ellis ( renshaw. of icehmond. Va.. C. H iarnes. of .IJacksonville and William Stan recently purchased by the parties inter- ested, which is 105x140 feet. On this lot a three-story brick well constructed factory will be erected which will be up-to-date in every respect, and will cost about $15,000. The factory will be convenient to all railway facilities and to all obbing houses and steamship lines. It is the intention of the Jacksonville Cracker Works to manufacture a class of goods of a quality inferior to none. Tlhe latest model machinery will be installed in the new building. Work on the new factory will be com- menced on or before June 15, and it is expected by parties interested that the factory will be in operation within three months or as soon thereafter as possible. The goods to be manufactured at the Jacksonville Cracker Works will be various kinds from the cheapest to the very best, to be packed in packages, boxes and tins. The factory will employ between sixty and eighty men, women and boys, and the pay-roll each week will be very large. Several members of the \\1rolesale Gro- cers' Association are interested in this fac- tory together with H. S. McCallum, presi- dent of the Suwannee Bank of White Springs, Fla., and the following gentlemen from Riclhmond, Va.: Carlton McCarthy, Mayor of Richmond; O. A. Hawkins, com- ilissioner of revenue, of Richmond; W. S. Rhodes. of the firm of Rhodes & Miller; W. C. Montgomery, a prominent contrac- tor; A. Trevett. of the Virginia Hot Springs Co.: A. A.

It will give employ- ment to a large force of laborers and to a large clerical force. The output of money by this factory will greatly benefit nearly every citizen and business man of Jacksonville.
