By FETRIGG REGISTER, ROCKOD .I CORRE$PONDENCE $0LCIT ED The citrus fruit crop of Florida for the year 1907-8 is placed at 2.295.072 boxes against 3,826.018 for 1006. Afore damage is done the uncovered strawberry bed during the months of February and March than in the ear lier portion of the winter. The total clip of wool In the United States for 1907 was 298,294,750 pounds, Including the washed and unwashed product. Of the total output there were 130,350,118 pounds of scoured wool, valued at $7S,203,105. About the easiest money made on American farms, entailing no drain upon the fertility or the soll, is that re turn secured from the flocks of sheep which consuie the largely waste vege table growths to he found thereon. There are four things that a farmer of good health Is Justified in going into debt for-namely, tiling the wet acres on his farm. a manure spreader. fences that will enable im!1 to keep sheep and a soft water cistern for the good house. wife. Oil of lemon in aleahol and plain kero sene are both highly recoumended for use In treating seed corn just prior to planting for the purpose of preventing" damage by the wireworm. About :i fabespoopful of oil is used to a phint(l box full of seed. Tle callfornia orange harvest is now well on, and the crop, both in quality and quantity. promises to establish a new record. It is estimated that the total output of oranges of the state will reachl 30.000 carloads, which means 0,000.000 boxes, or about 1,350, 000,000 oranges. The harvest will last until July 1. If the $200,000. more or less, that is spent annu:'ally in the farcical distri bution of seeds of very Indifferent merit by the congressmen who hope thereby to better their chances of re election were divided equally among the several states and territories for use In practical and helpful experi meut station work, it would' be a far more serviceable disposal of the money. Of an estimated total forest area in the confines of the United States of 700,000,000 acres the amount in state or national reserves is placed at 22 per cent., while the rest is in unreserved public lands or private tracts. The to tal area, however held, is deemed suf ficient with right management by those who have made a study of tbe subject to eventually supply the lumber needs Of Interest To Women, o sue women as are not seriously out et health but who have exacting duties to pertor eithe In the way of house b cares or in social duties and fune ti a.i lh seriously tax their strength, as We ursjing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Wavorite ription has proved a mcst valuable su ing tonic and invigorat -oa erie.

For a number of years following the introduction of the culture 'of sugar beets In this country in 1887 the Indus try was at a standstill. By 1803 the production of, beet sugar had reached 22,844 short toni. In 1901 It was 184, 000, while last year the total output' was 500,000 short tons. The increase noted Is due chiefly to the extending of the culture of the sugar beets in the irrigation sections of the west rather than to its adoption in sections where there is sufficient rainfall to produce the ordinary tilled farm crops. With a view to freeing themselves from the dictation of beef prices by the ChIcago packing houses, a group of central Iowa farmers have lately shipped a carload of fine beeves direct to Portland, Me., where they will be loaded for shipment to England. A prior shipment direct to the Liverpool market resulted In their receiving such good prices that they were led to try the plan again. There would seem to be rn good reason why this method could not be followed right .along whenever Chicago or other packing house centers were not paying a fair price. A report which we have seen circu lated, but not yet verified, is that Iowa farmers are taking advantage of the excessively high prices of butter by selling their entire product at top notch New York prices and are importing for their own use oleomargarine from the Chicago packing houses. The writer is disposed to brand this as fiction, as Iowa farmers possess a reputation for good sense as well as a desire to make money In dairying. If the charge isI true in any sense, it is probably the folks who don't have any cows at all that are lubricating their flapjacks with oleomargarine. While he may show a very humble and democratic spirit in so doing, a boy or man is a traitor to himself and the times in which he lives if he is content to do drudge work and does not take steps to fit himself to do the highest class of work of which .h1 is j capable. Not only is this argument justifiable from the standpoint of the wage which one will receive, but car ried out extensively it wil reduce the, number of those who are. by circum stance or necessity destined to do the rough work of life and thereby insure them better pay for their labor. One will always find a better paying posi tion higher up in the industrial scale if he only (it* himself to perform Its duties. A Minnesota orchardigt, writing an agricultural paper in that state, es presses very serious doubts as l't' hardiness of the Northwestern G '~t lag, which, while not an apple o grade or quality, has beenabt only hope of the apple men of -the north central stats when it camne to a variety that would keep through the winter.
