sustain this opinion, and they may tliauk 
me then for so candid an expression of it. 
In the Southern Atlantic Staten the iso¬ 
thermal lines have undergone many impor¬ 
tant changes. Orange orchards m Louis¬ 
iana. once flourishing and productive, 
have ceased to beat onlirely, on account 
of the increased cold. Tit® frees still live, 
and that is all. Iu Florida, in and around 
Jacksonville, when, once flourished the 
largest and beat groves of orange*, no 
young trees can be grown, nor is it safe, I 
or a certainty, north of a line seventy ' 
tnilsB south of Jacksonville. Nor is it at I 
at) probable that great changes should be 
confined to the Atlantia Slates. Are apt, 
•he same changes liki Iv t<- follow here that |

In one year more, I believe, the Suuth- 
erti Pimifir Railroad "ill have made an 
eastern couunction, and the Atehiimon, 
Topeka A Sunta T*V, will also have reached 
Our valleys. This last company an? not 
building their road for glory, and we can 
confidently anticipate lively competition 
for the eastern bound freights. These 
'finds "ill open up so many new markets.

orange eaters that we will be ushumed tlin’t

The late cold weather and tin dtstruetiou 
<J trees in the northern counties answer 
•ht« question in tlit affirm ufive, Even iu 
the count ioB of Los Angeles and Sun Her- 
imrdinu, the area for tic safe culture of 
l lie orange has been narrowed down hv 
tin late cold weather and the fern .if its 
rocUiTOnoa. 
Many of III. Me actually engaged in this 
"range culture have entertained fears that 
w. would eventually see the business over- 
■hme; that we could nut safely look bBjoud bftve for their 
Nevada, California and Oregon to furnish I t,|lw W 1 
oui markets fur the numbers that w< 
W uld shortly produce. Although this 
thought, has often occurred to me L have 
never shared any of tlx. foam entertained 
by others.

is, that with us the orange interest will 
always pay more than the gvnpo interest 
per two For the State, mid nationally 
considered, the grape will become the 
great ovar-shndowing iutorust, dwarfing 
in its great, results the orange, cereals, 
and bullion yield combined r believe 
this will occur before the close of Ibis cen¬

Vvhen all our warm valleys are planted 
in orange, lime and lemon, when all our 
sun lit hills are covered with the graceful
