Meeting of the Fruit Growers AS
ISOLATION.

A meeting of the above associa>
ton was held at the Circuit Court
room, Jacksonville, JAM, Goth.
The meeting was called to order
by DR.. G. J. Kenworthy, the presi-
dent. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
DR.. Kenworthy made some ex-
tended remarks on the importance OF
establishing an Experimental Gar
den and Farm, and laying a founda-
ton for an Agricultural College. A
resolution was passed authorizing
the publication of paper, read by
the Doctor on this subject
A committee was appoinsed, cou-
sisting OF Messrs Hart, Elliott,
Davis and Codriugton, to memorial
lize the Legislature, asking that body
to rescind "a resolution requesting
Congress 70 transfer the Agricultural
fund TO the common school fund of
the State; and to request the Legis-
lature of the State TO authorize the
establishment of an Experimental
Farm and Garden by the Trustees OF

evening of the 9th, an essay upon
the subject of Agricultural colleges,
Horticultural and Pomology, the

Repairing Country Roads.

When so much dissatisfaction is
felt about our public roads the fol.
lowing article from the Massachu.
sets -P|Oaghman will be OF interest /:
The system adopted by mauy
towns Tor repairing roads is a very
expensive one, and one which keeps
the roads IN a very unsatisfactory
condition. The old method of re.
pairing them with labor tax is yet
followed in many towns This is
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1881-02-02

very unjust to those who pay their
tax in money, because it has been
found that money tax of the same
amount will accomplish third more
than labor tax. Another mistake
is made by many towns in dividing
the towns into small districts and
electing large number of survey.
ors. BY so doing many incompe-
tent men are chosen, who often worse
than waste the money by repairing
the roads in such 8 manner that their
successor has to expend large sum
to put the roads in good passable
condition.
The management OF the roads,
like the management 'ofa manufac-
tory, should be under the direction
of one head, and that head should be
not only competent, bat also as per-
rnanent as possible. To change
every year, or even every three
years, makes a great waste, for it re-
quires several years of experience to
learn just what method is best for
each piece of road and it frequently
requires a number of years to carry
out contemplated improvements. If
continual changes are made, no eE-
tended system of improvements can
be carried out; if any are com
menced, the new surveyor will
usually entirely ignore them, and
commence quite a different system of
improvements after his own ideas.
Thus a vast amount of money is
wasted in the repair of public roads.
We know that it is very difficult
to find the right man TO superintend
the construction and repair Of the
town roads, but when a town finds
one they should give him charge OF
the roads as long rs he does the
work faithfully. l}y SO doing
a large amount OF money would be
saved and great Improvement
would be made III the roads.

A Poor Mans Work in Florida.

The Sanford Journal publishes the
following,to show what an industri>
Gus man who comes 4to. Florida, can
do, with energy and application. We
know Mr.. Lindburgh well, and have
the pleasure to endorse the estima-
ton in which he is held:
"Mr. f. G. Lindburgh sold his
place last week, on the grant, three
miles west of Sanford, to Mr.. Benz.
Chew, OF Philadelphia, who designs,
we believe, making it his home. The
price paid was S., 500, and those who
know the place consider it q great
bargain tor the purchaser. Mr..
Llndburgh has engaged his services
to Colonel A. J. Lane, president of
the st. Johns d Lake Eustis Rail
road, and will at once move over and
take charge of Colonel Lanes fine
place on the south side Of Lake Eus.
tbs. Mr.. Lindburgh is leading
member OF the Swede colony brought
over by General Sanford some nine
or Ten years since and located on the
grant. Like others of the colony,
ne devoted the first year to General
Saniord's service, in payment for his
passage over In addition to their
living, the General gave each one
five acres of land and implements to
work with Since then while not
working Tor General Sanford, or
some of those who have purchased
lands on the grant, Mr. lindburgh,
has devoted the time TO the cultiva-
ton of his own place, and to-day, the
trees are in bearing. This sale will
realize for him over $500 profit per
annun for his labor, which is not a
bad showing in favor Of the sandy
soil Of Orange county. The Scandi-
nayian Society win miss his presence
and council, and our people gene
rally will regret his going away, as
like nearly all the Swedes, he is in
telligent, Industrious, and strictly
honorable in all his dealings"

To Correspondents.

G. r., Orange County, Fla.--We
have seen the article you alluded to.
The Casava does not injure the or
ange tree for the reason that it re-
|-quires different plant food from the
orange; had the casava not been
planted. in the grove the orange tree
would not have taken up from the
soil that which is necessary TO
nourish the cassava. 1t is, however,
a great impoverisher Of the soil,
nothing more so, except tobacco
and ginger. Unless yearly fertilized
few crops of casEava will leave the
soil so poor that it will not even
grow grass. The same fertilizers
will do for all starch producing plants
as arrowroot, caSsava, and I0us les
MOiS,, etc. We never heard of
storms injuring cassava; they may
break off the tops but that does not
injure the roots. In the tropics,
after storms, the cassava roots are
the main,stay OF the inhabitants.
Cassava cannot be harvested but at
one time OF the year. 1t does not
ripen 30 as to contain starch until
November and directly the plant
begins to grow the starch is turned
into sap. The stems can be planted
from February to June. If the roots
are exposed to frost when they are
ripe, the starch will be turned into
glucose, the same as is the case with
sweet potatoes. Arrowroot does
not impoverish the soil as much as
casava, having a more dense foliage.
W.-Cold weather does not de-
stroy scale insects or there would be
none OF that pest on apple trees
North. IN some instances we have
known the scale to almost suddenly
disappear, after being very numerous.
A heavy spell OF wet weather may
cause it in some cases, and last sum.
mer a grove near Palatka that was
very bad with it, was entirely cleared
after a heavy hail storm.
