juue 17, 1881.—Editors Telegraph and
Messenger: In my last I promised your
readers some figures on the orange culture
of tbis country. The custom of figuring it
up has become so common nowadays that
very llttlej reliance is put in newspaper
articles upon this subject.
While there is large scope for exaggera
tion, we know that when the matter has
been thoroughly sifted down there will be
found more truth than it now gets credit
for. In the outset let it be said that in
this State a very small proportion of land
is adapted to the cultivation of oranges,
say twenty-five or thirty-three per cent, at
most. The last winter has demonstrated
beyond reasonable doubt the fact that the
business is unsafe farther north than Lake
George. South of that lake the climate is
suitable, but there is a vast area of land
totally unfit for successful and remnceia*.
tive orange growing. The fact that the"
fruit cannot he grown on flat woods, bay
lands, cypress ponds or scrub lands, should
put a stop to so much talk about overdoing
the business. There Is more probability
of the cotton interest beiDg over
done, as about two million baies surplus
has already been made. Lastseason good
oranges sold for fifteen dollars per thou
sand. Suppose twice that quantity be
made thU year and a depreciation of fifty
per cent, occurs in price, which is not prob
able-even then “there is millions in it.”
Then it should be remembered that a
large number of those engaging in the
business are doomed to failure for the
want of discretion and proper knowledge
of the nature and requirements of the
fruit, as is the case in every branch of in
dustry known. Gen. Sanford, on his
grant, and near the town of the same
name, is said to have expended about
thirty thousand dollars trying to make a
grove, and now there is not a tree to show
for it —all because of a fatal blunder in
the selection of the proper kind of soil,
properly located. The General is well
able to sustain such a loss, hut he has
numbers of near neighbors iu and around
Sanford who are not, and who have gotten
into the same suck.
In the neighborhood known as Lake
Jesup settlement, there about 35,000 or
ange trees, and about 10 per cent, of the
number bearing fruit. Gradually tbore-
maining 00 per cent, will begin to. bear
and reward the anxious owners. * *-
Many estimates are extant of tho cost
of raising an orange grove, but the one
given by Seth French I consider a very
accurate one, and give it below, substi
tuting price of laud:
Five acres at $25 '$ 125
Clearing and breaking up 75
Fencing boards and cedar posts 75
Cost and setting ont of trees 200
Manuring, cultivating, taxes, etc., for
five years 500
Total.....' $975
At the ending of fire years such grove
will readily sell for one thousand dollars
per acre.
It will then rapidly Increase in valua
tion, and the trees, with judicious cultiva
tion, will retain their health aud vigor for
at least a century.
Naturalists estimate them to live fifteen
hundred years. Tbe largest tree known
is one in Alachua county in this State. It
is three feet in diameter at tbe base and
forty-five feet through from tip to tip of
limb3, and bears annually ten thousand
oranges. Tbis tree is said to have sold
soma years ago for the sunt of $25—one-
sixth of one yeai’s income from tbe fruit.
Much attention is being paid to the
thornless varieties of oranges, as they
possess a great advantage over the com
mon variety, for considerable damage is
caused by the high winds flapping the
limbs about and thorning the l'ruit.
The vegetable business has become of
no little importance, and in some in
stances very profitable. But in tbis, as ia
the case in the orange business, much in
convenience and pecuniary loss is incurred
through tbe rascality of agents and com
mission merchants, who have evory
chance, as well as disposition, to plunder
the producer.
Fearing I have already taxed the pa-

Washington Special to X. Y. World.
A Virginia Republican, interested in a
“free ballot and fair count” has sent to a
local paper the ballots voted in Virginia
last fall. The Readjustees had two in tbe

white Readjustor voters and the other the

of Hancock and English on them, which
were omitted from tne Utter. The former

Serious Charge Against tho Horn
Emory spoor.
Washington Co tpondenee Savannah Setos.
There has bqm and still is' some silly
talk about the ‘Democrats organizing the. .
next House by the aid of Greenback votes.
Don’t put a pin’s worth of faith in any such
statements. Tho Republicans have got the
majority in the next House, and are going
to organize it. There is not even a Demo
cratic attempt to scoop iu that organiza
tion. If there was, and a bargain could be
hatched up between tho Democrats and
Green backers, then there might be a chanoe
for tho man who is to act the Mahons in
the House to secure some of the temporary
prominence and notoriety that was accord
ed Mahone. The man I am writing about
all this time is Representative Emory Speer.
To botch up a Democratic-Greenback
coalition in the organization of the next
House, the name of Emory Speer, of Geor-
I [is, wonld have to be pnt down among the
. democrats in order to secure the scooeas of
the plan. If such an attempt was made there
Emory Speer would have the opportunity
by voting—aa he will, with the Republicans
—to make a sensation. But there will be
such attempt made. Therefore, Emory
Speer, in voting with 'the Republicans to
organize the house, will play a similar part
to that enacted by Mahone, but it will be
entirely of a minor character. The where
fore of all this is an interview which
occurred between President Garfield and
Emory Speer. Speer wants several things
from tbe administration besides the re
moval of Andrew Clark as ooliector. He ia
very hot after Andrew, and the chances are
that ho will tote his head off ou a charger. In
the interview mentioned Speer apok- about
Clark and the other things that he wanted.
President Garfield said: “Mr. Speer, I am.
told by a friend of yours that you intend to
vote with the Republicans in tbe organiza
tion of tbe House. I desire to know from
you exactly how you stand.” Mr. Speer re
plied in words of this import: “1 expect at
the opening of the next session of Congress
that an attack will be made upon me simi
lar to that made upon General Mahone by
Ben Hill. I expect to be fiercely assaulted
by the Democrat*.” ‘-Then, said tbe
President, “1 am to understand that you
wilt act with the Republicans in organizing
tbe next House?" “I will,” was the reply.
It will do to look with interest for tbe
House version of the Mahone tragic faroe.
