The immigration from the old countries
to America continues, aud never before il
the history of the United States has the
number been as numerous as during the
present year. In May alone, nearly Sc
900 landed at New York. while the num-
Der which will arrive during June is ex.
pected to be even larger. A notable
feature in these arrivals is the almost
eutire absence Of the pauper class. The
emigrants are mostly peasantry with
means sufficient to buy land and care for
themselves. and nearly three fourths
leave for the West as soon as they reach
New York. instead of locating in the over
crowded cities as has been the custom.
Of those coming here now. large mum
Der are Germans. who invariably make
good citizens. The New York SAN conn
menting on the extraordinary influx to
this country Says
Since January opened the immigration
has been between three and four times
heavier than that during the same period
of 1879, and five times thatsof 1878. More
over, the first day of June witnessed the
landing of 3, 404 new settlers. and the
prospect il that during the month, which
is favorite one for crossing the Atlantic,
the arrivals will continue at as rapid rate
as that which made May the most remar-
kable month in the history of immigration
TO the United States. Until cold weather
begins, this extraordinary exodus from
Europe is pretty certain to be kept mp;
and therefore the expectation that the
addition to our population from foreign
sources will be larger in 1880 than in any
previous year is likely to be fulfilled.

Cranberry Growing in Florida.

1t is a well known fact that Gran
berry culture is one of the most pro-
fitable where the location and soil
are suitable. We have quantities Of
land in this State just suited to this
plant, and our climate is nearly the
same as Southern California. That IL
has succeeded there, read the fol-
lowing from the Pacific Rura1 Press
"Mr.' Nyland came to California
about seven years ago. For the
last few years he has made it part
of his business to test the growth of
the cranberry on the tule lands He
has now plants in bearing, and his
experience with their growth leads
him to the firm belief that this fruit
will prove a success when grown on
proper locations in this State. He
gave us several reasons for regarding
the conditions here better adapted
to the growth OF the cranberry than at
the East. The season is longer here,
and this will cause the berries to
ripen evenly and assume "a rich dark
color. At the East the berries must
be gathered before the trosts come,
and often there is but one side of the
berry colored. Fully colored fruits
sells better than the 'Dolly Warden"
style. Other favors to growers in
this State are that there are no
stumps to root out, and the expen-
sive sanding of the ground is not
necessary. At the East the planta-
ton has to be grubbed out, and
covered with coating of sand three
or four inches thick, and sometimes
tramways and cars are used to bring
on this vast amount of sand. The
minimum cost OF sanding Is probably
about 5000 per acre. As we have
here no hard freezing of the ground,
there is no throwing out of the
plants by the action OF frost on the
soil, ard consequently the mulch Of
sand is not essential. Another evil
is avoided by having no sand. 1t
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1880-09-08

has been foundsthat the reflection OF
the sun-heat by the flint sand some
times bnrns the berries. In addl-
ton to this and other minor points,
Mr.. Nyland finds tina. the berries
grow larger in this State, which fact
may ere long enable us to compete
with the East in their own markets.
Cranberrles are most durable
fruit. If kept in water, they last al
most indefinitely in good condition,
as the acid defes decay. Mr. Ny
land tells of dealer in New Jersey
who emptied the cranberries as he
bought them into cistern, and dip
ped them out as needed to fill orders.
He carried on this process for twenty
years, never completely emptying his
cistern, but adding more with each
years crop. He never had any
trouble from the fruit spoiling-the
oldest seemed as good as the last.
With such durable fruit as this the
grower can wait ior demand, or
send his fruit around the world 10
find market.
Although Mr.. Nyland believes his
tule location, and other similar lands
well adapted to cranberries, he would
caution all against planting in I'M
favorable locations. 1t is folly to at
tempt the culture on any land that
cracks-that is, anything Of an adobe
nature"
