C., where he joined his charming wife for a pleasant stay after which they will return to their home in Tallahassee, Fla. Mrs. Trammell has been at the Haywood White Sulphur Springs ho- tel for the past several weeks and is exceedingly popular with the many who have been summering at this resort. She is a most attrac- tive young woman, of charming per- sonality and possessing a graclous cordiality which has won her a host of friends. Gov. Trammell talks most en- thusiastically of the conference which is just closed; and is now par- ticipating in all the pleasures of the summer resort while on his briet vacation. Other Florida guests who are spending several weeks in Waynes- ville and the springs are Hon. and Mrs. S. J. Hilburn and daughter, Kathleen, of Palatka, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Ramsaur, of Palatka; Mrs. H. A. McEachern, Mrs. Thigpen, and Master McEachern, and Miss Ruth McEachern, of Jacksonville, and Mr. Finley Tucker, of Palatka. —Waynesville Notes to Times- Union, and you will get an idea of how much the figures are overestimat- ed.” Turn to the report, pages 343 and 346, and you will find this state- ment of the orange and grapefruit crops of 1911-12: Oranges.-Bearing yrees, 2,776,626; number of boxes, 4,769,312; value, $5,665,415. Grapefruit--Bearing trees, 794, 408; number of boxes, 1,405,308; value, $2,684,625. Which means that the orange trees bear an average of almost two boxes a tree, valued at a little more than $1.18 a box on the tree; that the grapefruit trees bear not quite two boxes a tree, valued at $1.91 a box as they hang. Now, as a matter of fact, I know owners whose groves cannot be pur- chased for love or money; they de. rive splendid incomes from them, be- sides the fascinating pleasure of growing them. For instance, one man in one season received a net profit of more than $4,000 from a grove of seven and a half acres of orange and grapefruit containing less than 650 trees. to this effect has been copled and commented upon dozens of times. He is some citrus grower, helieve me, His affidavit. N SOCIETY | | CO0000RA0QQVOCAVROQARVRROQQQQC ‘K ELAND, FLA., SEPT. b, 1913, and he has snibicent lot ot trees. Yet uet incowe does not compare with the *‘ultra-couserva- tive estimate’ of whit the home- | seeker can make, contained in the | bookiet of a land company that lies before me. As usual the company | is not composed of Florida people. What then is the answer to these wide discrepancies This is the way it looks to a man up a tree: Any. body can grow oranges and grape- fruit in Florica. With the expen- diture of time, money and brains I believe almost anybody can raise them at a profit. But the grow- ing of the finest citrus fruits—those that brinz the big profits-.is the highest manifestation of the horti-i cultural art. One man, who has de- voted his life to the study of it, says: “Every one wno 18 wuling to pay the price either in labor or dollars can grow oranges and grapefruit, but only he who is so constituted as to derive pleasure in exercising his mental faculties to the fullest extent can produce fruit of the finest qual- ity. Good judgment, with previous knowledge, must be exercised in the choice of the stock, the bud, the soil and the location of the orchard; in the cultivation and fertilization of the crops, in the treatment of fun. gous and insect diseases, in picking and packing the fruit and selecting a market for its disposal.” The perfection of growing condi- tions is to be found in Florida— along the Indian river and below, ! throughout the lake region and along the southwest coast where the wide waters of the gulf temper the winter winds from the northwest. In these localities, according to my belief, it will cost from $600 to $1,000 an acre properly to care for and bring a citrus grove into full bearing; the difference depending upon its location, the character of the land--usually hummock or sec- ond quality high pine.- and the cost of clearing it. The average output should be about 300! boxes an acre of 100 trees. It is about 200 now. YOURS FOR HONEST The net profit on a box of oranges should be fifty cents, on grapefruit seventy-five cents. It is less than that now, on the average. One of the reasons for this is that, i in my opinion, fully a third of those who are growing citrus fruits in Florida look upon it as a pastime or a gide line. Then, too, possibly sev- enty per cent of the crop is put on the market in the wrong way--sold on the trees or on the ratck to spec- ulators and other buyers, or con- signed to other middlemen, all of whom get a profit which should go to the grower. But the principal reason why the Florida orange las not come into its own, and how it can be made to do so, will he given in a succeeding article.—The Coun- try Gentleman. I belleve that the Florida Grower and Shippers’ League will do its part for progress also when it gets into operation. The local bodies of this organization have it within their power to get some competent man to imstruct them and help them out of their dificulties. They should go strongly after an agricultural ad- visor. A good man may be had at from $1,500 to $2,000 a year. No doubt many of these men could make more money. running a farm them- selves but in some the educational instinct and desire to help others is g 1S ‘; would give us something llke' | ,000,000.

BRIEF FASHION NOTES Cublst designs are seen even in some of the new corset materials. The black and white combination in The crown dent is a smart feature of the new felts for country wear. Chamois yellow is one of the col ors seen among girls' topcoats. Nothing equals white chinchilla for the fashionable sports coats. Gold and green is fast coming to be one of the favorite combinations. All lace underwear s distinctly in the mode. Frequently such garments are made over net. The newest collars on the fall coats are fastened up high at the neck to allow for cold weather. Draped coats are liked for dress wear; simple, straight cut garments for general utility purposes. Coat chalns are being made of beads; steel intermingled with out coral are favorites. The most fashionable corset simu- lates the uncorseted figure. 8tiff or constrained lines are a thing of the past. ——————————————————————————————————eee e NOTICE OF CHANGE OF NAME AND RESIDENCE OF THE ALA- FIA TRADING COMPANY — Notice is hereby given that on the 13th day of September, A.
