Mr.. A. III. Manville in his letter of

that salt could be used to advantage
as fertilizer for orange trees. When
taken to task by Mr.. Aver Mr.. Man
vile retracts his first statement by
his Explanatory" note of March 10,
in which he says, "Mr. Aver is mis-.
taken in supposing him to be guilty
of recommending salt (cloride OF So
dium) as fertilizer tor the orange"
ard claims its direct application is in

Now, will Mr.. Manville, Aver, or
anybody else who agrees with them,
show in a concise article, published
in your paper, in what way "sat in
common with many other ingredi.
ents Of valuable fertilizers, in its di-
rect application would be injurious

Florida would be glad to know, es-

Three years in succession we have
grown rice in small patches. Last
year We put in less than an eighth OF
an acre of low hammock land and
gathered five bushels. This was
drilled in between the rows of corn
about the middle OF June and har.
vested in October, when the weather
was settled and dry. Our seasons
are long enough to grow three crops
that is, two rattoon crops-but pre-
tering to grow the crop of corn, we
do not put in the rice until June

of the birds. which are at that time
(harvest) following more agreeable
pursuits. We drop the seed thickly
In drills nearly two feet apart and
give it one working with the hoe,
which is sufficient unless it gets very
grassy. 1t is the most profitable
grain crop that can be grown on our
low lands, giving nearly double the
yield OF corn with less expense. We
have not tried it on upland yet but
think it will yield tar ahead OF corn
when planted during the rainy sea-
son. Having no rice mill closer than
Jacksonville we erected Il mortar
and swinging pestle after the style of
the old fashioned hominy beaters, and
beat it out for table use, giving it
good polish by using corn husks.
We can well appreciate the feel
ings OF your Indian river correspon-
dent in regard to the work increasing
instead OF growing beautifully less.
We have found it just the same, and
now between our growing vegetable
crops, corn and cane planting, and
our orange groves, we feel very
much like the blacksmith who had
too many irons in the fire.
Orange trees have made a splendid
spring growth and many blossoms
have been discovered by the patient
growers. We don't believe there is
anything in the country that will
make man more .jubilant than the
sight of his first sweet bloom.
Five years ago how to grow an or
ange tree well was mystery to us.
We asked an old man who had
beautiful grove around his house and
he could tell us nothing outside of
penning cattle when he knew there
was not a horn upon our place. We
asked another who had a young
grove on pine land coming into bear

around them that you can get hold

and keep them we'll worked. This
man was right. In reading your
