NAFTZGER ON ORANGES. California Must Vanquish the Importer of Citrus Fruits by the Superiority of Her Goods. A. H. Naftzger addressed the River-side horticultural club one afternoon last week upon the subject of Future Orange and Lemon Markets. His address contains so much that is equally applicable here that we publish his address for the benefit of our readers. Mr. Naftzger spoke as follows: In the year 1881 scarcely more than fifty carloads of oranges were shipped from all of Southern California, and members of this club will remember that as late as 1885 nearly all of the product of Riverside orchards was packed in a couple of brick store rooms on South Main street and the old frame shed where the Southern Pacific station is now located, and was hauled by teams to Colton and there loaded on the cars. Now look along the side tracks at the half dozen stations within the city limits and count up the scores of busy packing houses, and the marvelous increase of the industry will impress itself upon your minds. When you have done this, remember that other sections have kept pace with Riverside in the rapid increase of citrus fruits. In addition to the vast and increasing product of our own groves, we are reckon with Arizona and Florida as competitors, although the recent cold weather appears to have nearly destroyed the last hope of the Florida growers, and there is nothing to indicate a large product from Arizona orchards in the near future. We have had, during last season and this, a fairly practical test of what we may expect from Mexico, the Mediterranean country, and the West Indies so long as the present tariff is in force. From an average of over 800,000 boxes for the previous years, the importations of oranges for 1897-8 fell to a paltry 56,000 boxes, a decrease of 93 per cent. Whether the shrinkage be due to the tariff or to the ample supply from California orchards, I shall not attempt to determine, but it is certain the falling off was not because of a short crop abroad. Whatever may have caused the shrinkage, it is a gratifying fact that we marketed all of our better grades profitably. The receipts of lemons from abroad under the first year of the present tariff were nearly 700,000 cases less than the average for previous years. It required nearly the whole California product to fill this gap. I shall not venture to guess what the effect would be should our relations to Cuba and Porto Rico become such as to make the existing tariff inoperative. Whether these islands would produce any better grade of fruit than Jamaica now produces moved much of the difficulty of successful marketing. Unfortunately few producers in any line think adequately beyond the boundaries of the farm or orchard. Staples such as wheat and corn must take their place in the markets of the world. But such products as are not absolute necessaries of life depend for consumption largely upon their tempting character and appearance. People buy fruit as they buy many other things—because it is put before them in attractive form. Having mastered the details of growing, grading, and packing, our next and greatest problem is distribution, which is but another term for marketing. We must not only supply the existing demand for our product, but we must create increased demands. How to so offer our fruit as to increase the demand and multiply the number of consumers is a problem not easily solved. Under the existing tariff the duty and ocean freight are practically equal to our freight rate, so that the importer meets us on a level in our large seaboard markets. In those markets, as I have indicated, we must vanquish him by the superiority of our goods. As the importer attempts to penetrate the interior portions of our country, the differential in the cost of transportation soon puts him at a disadvantage, so that in large portions of our country we have comparatively little to fear from importations. But if we were able to crowd him out entirely, all of the markets of the country, as shown by the consumption of any year, would not be sufficient to take the prospective products of our orchards within a very few years. The exploiting of new markets, or placing of any commodity where there is no call for it, is so expensive and uncertain as to immediate results that the individual orange grower, or even a limited association of orange growers, would not undertake it. All the producers, or a large per cent of them, co-operating for the purpose can accomplish, the desired result. There are hundreds of small cities and villages, perhaps thousands, in the United States that consume so few California oranges as to scarcely be worth mentioning. The burden of acquiring these markets should be borne by all; ultimately it will be a profit to all. Organization and co-operation will accomplish it. I am not discussing any existing organization, whatever, but rather endeavoring to look at the question from the standpoint of a grower. It may be deemed Utopian to discuss results based upon anything like unity of sentiment among producers. But in the light of modern business developments it ought not to be impossible to bring the producers of perishable commodities to recognize the need and practicability of some form of cooperation that would eliminate as far as possible the competition with each other in the markets. It will be agreed brothers and sisters. All the way about them knows she has inherited the face and figure of a beautiful Indian mother on the coast. Her girlhood spent in a fashionable convent. schoolmate says: "Her father can see her every day during the year were at school, and she worshipping him." She is still very young. This unhappy married, her sorrows only drawn more heavily on her fathterness. That she is una ilegitima. A lawsuit, by which brother's wife strove to regain her property for her children, revealed secret to her. It was a crushing to her woman to find the truth in she had at first scorned as a jealous situation. She had never known any but the tenderest love and care her father; her mother she had seen, but with the lively imagination a girl surrounded by wealth and things beautiful in the land of sunshine she had visions of a fairy-like being goodness and loveliness. The suit decided in her favor, for she had no acknowledgment by her father. Her treated her as his own; she could not debarred from inheriting her share his property as a lawful child. Her father was a very wealthy man. Embittered with the discovery of secret of her birth, she lives with family on one of their magnificent haciendas. Ropes of pearls, rare lacees, glittering diamonds are hers not happiness. Too well she knew that to any other than an inhabitant of Land of Manana; and to some these, she is one to be avoided. That there are families free from such acknowledged incumbrances one doubts. The effect of the existent state of things may be judged by observer.-N.Y.Sun.

Address, Allen Olmstead, Le Roy, N.Y. ap6-4 from California orchards, I shall not attempt to determine, but it is certain the falling off was not because of a short crop abroad. Whatever may have caused the shrinkage, it is a gratifying fact that we marketed all of our better grades profitably. The receipts of lemons from abroad under the first year of the present tariff were nearly 700,000 cases less than the average for previous years. It required nearly the whole California product to fill this gap. I shall not venture to guess what the effect would be should our relations to Cuba and Porto Rico become such as to make the existing tariff inoperative. Whether these islands would produce any better grade of fruit than Jamaica now produces remains to be seen. The fruit industry is growing enormously in every direction. The State of New York alone produces more fruit in one season than did the whole United States thirty years ago. All of these fruits, of whatever character, are to a greater or less extent in competition with our citrus fruits. The extreme cold that prevailed over most of our country east of the mountains during last month destroyed a very large proportion of this year's fruit crop, but this is only for a season. Chief in importance in the determination of the future of this industry is the element of quality. It is the "survival of the fittest." Riverside growers have chafed not a little as they have seen the best brands from certain neighboring localities take first place in the markets. Within the last few weeks all this has been changed and the best product of Riverside orchards is again preferred. What does this prove? Not that the Riverside fruit is better than ever before, for it is not; but that the fruit formerly in favor does not, for very good reasons, possess its usual merit. Last year's reputation, familiar brands and labels on the boxes are not sufficient to maintain first place. Quality does its own talking. We may profitably learn from this season's experience that it is what other sections produce, not what they say, that puts a keen edge on competition. This reference is made, not to recall neighborhood jealousies, but to emphasize the dominating effect of quality. Along this line we shall, I think, win our battle against the citrus fruit growers of other lands. What some other State or country may do, we cannot say; but so far none of them have produced oranges that could successfully compete in the markets with the product of our well-cared-for navel oranges. It costs little more to grow good fruit than poor. The difference in value is the difference between success and failure. But a few years ago it was believed the California lemon could not be marketed in competition with the foreign product. Now our lemons are given preference in nearly all markets. This is due chiefly to the fact that we have learned how to cure and put upon the market not only a most attractive lemon, but one of superior quality and a good keeper. It is an old adage in merchandising that "goods well bought are half sold;" and we may fairly say that fruit well grown and packed is half marketed. It is, therefore, of vital interest to the citrus fruit growers of California that they bring their products to the highest possible state of perfection. It is doubtful whether we shall long be able to successfully contend against competitors with our poorer grades of fruit. We must therefore, capture the markets by the superiority of our goods. Having excluded the poor and immature fruit and carefully graded and packed the good, we shall have re-mentioned. The burden of acquiring these markets should be borne by all; ultimately it will be a profit to all. Organization and co-operation will accomplish it. I am not discussing any existing organization, whatever, but rather endeavoring to look at the question from the standpoint of a grower. It may be deemed Utopian to discuss results based upon anything like unity of sentiment among producers. But in the light of modern business developments it ought not to be impossible to bring the producers of perishable commodities to recognize the need and practicability of some form of cooperation that would eliminate as far as possible the competition with each other in the markets. It will be agreed that the modern trust is the product of the most sagacious commercial instinct and thought the world has yet produced. It is the effort of shrewd operators to protect themselves against the destructive tendency of competition with other operators as adroit as themselves. I am not making a defense of the trust, but endeavoring to state the facts and to draw a lesson if possible. It seems to me that with the example before us of the most successful and far-seeking men of business, associating themselves for mutual protection, it ought to be possible for producers who are the least able to protect themselves singly to co-operate for mutual defense. What we need is such an organization as will never permit a box of California oranges or lemons to leave California in an immature condition or unsuitable for market. Next, that every carload of fruit is under such control from the moment it leaves the orchard until it reaches the retailer that there is no conflict one with another—no working at cross purposes—but an even, steady distribution that will supply the demand at all points, never oversupplying, except where it be necessary to create a demand. Why should not citrus fruit growers combine to create a demand for their products by distributing limited quantities in the new communities at a minimum cost to the consumer? When production shall have reached the volume predicted, the margin of profit to growers will be too small to admit waste by avoidable competition with each other. The fruit will have to be made attractive to consumers as well in price as in quality. Without some form of co-operation all shippers rush to the market that promises well, and a good market is speedily made a bad one and loses ensues. We shall then also require reduced transportation charges, which in my belief is entirely practicable; but we can scarcely hope that the transportation companies will afford us relief until we have exhausted the resources of self help, nor until we can agree among ourselves as to what is required. When growers are united for action they will get relief. What I wish to emphasize is the principle of co-operation. This means organization, system, order. It does not mean that the individual is eliminated. It does not mean that the spirit of rivalry among producers to bring their crops to the highest possible state of perfection is to be cast aside. Nothing is more apparent in the markets today than our fruits must win upon their merit. There is no reason why a system of thorough cooperation should not develop the very highest standard of growing and packing; nor is there any reason why, under such a system the grower should not get the benefit of good work. Because of the superiority of our best oranges over everything else the world has yet produced in any considerable quantities the orange industry of California will live; and there will be a measure of success, probably whether we reach full cooperation or not.

A portly gentleman sat on the porch and smiled while a small boy, also milling, painted the front fence. "Look at that boy," the portly man marked to a visitor. "He thinks he having a good time. A small boy is likely the drollest creature on earth, when I was a youngster, I remember that there were certain kinds of work I considered play, and one of them was painting. I was always crazy to paint. Many times I have taken a bucket of muddy water and an old paint brush and have spent a whole half day putting a thick coat on the side of my father's barn. "So with my boy Dick, the little boy painting the fence. He has always been crazy to paint. He is enjoying himself now—you can see he is, and he will paint that whole fence, too, just well as he knows how. I don't care it is a trifle smeared. He's getting hard, solid joy, thicker than the paint in his hands and clothes. "There's a mean side to it too. He wanted to paint the fence, and I wanted the weeds pulled out of the yard. So, he an underhanded rascal, I bargained with him. I told him that if he would all the weeds out I would let him paint the fence. He went through the inner job like a soldier—the hates to kill weeds; all boys do—and now he thinks he is getting his reward. It is a unwright shame to fool him that way, isn't you think so?" The portly gentleman chuckled again, and the small boy, wild with joy, went plastering paint on the fence.—Dewit Free Press. Crossing the Threshold, Crossing the threshold was and is the most critical period of the wedding day with all races, not even excepting the Anglo-Saxon. The superstitious fears of the many, always particularly alert on the occa-cation of a marriage, culminate in this real act of the drama. The lifting of the bride over the threshold or her step-ing across it is the signal in Persia, Arabia and among the Copts of Egypt to the sacrifice of a goat or a sheep among the Aenezes, according to Brockhardt, the bridegroom simply calls a lamb in front of his father-in-law's tent, and the ceremony, but for the running of the bride from one tent another, is complete. Perhaps the most symbolical act is that of the enslaved Saxonian Saxon bridal pair who pop over the threshold with their hands. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
