adequate sum, for L. 10 herself justice
FL E!sIa should spend fully one million
dollars ON that item annually. tfeorgia,
with richer soil spends four and one-half
million dollals, ausl Virginia upward of
two million dollars. The last census
emphasizes the growing importance Of
feTtlliZlng, and record, an increase %
Yield Of tupsr cent from It's USE, with a
considerable Improvement in quality.
The actual gain from the Use of fertil-
izers. ranges on the same authority from
$40 to 54oe9 per cent on the outlay, a
stupen,lous fact. which the writer rec
ommends To the attention of the Florida
agriculturist.
Were Florida to resort al once TO the
canning of her cattle she would furnish
now very considerable amount Of bone
dust IN addition to blood ammoniates for
the u>'' OF her orange, vegetable and to-
bacco crops. Time and space will not
permit further elaboration of this sub
ject, but the writer has sufficient data
before him to establish the fact that the
facilities for cultivating tine cattle trade
ia Florida are such as 10 elevate her To
the position OF being one of the richest
instead "f one of the poorest States in
the | mon. All that has been said of her
means To increase and improve her meat
production might be said of her dairy
facilities. The average annual Weld If
milk IN the State Is 70 gallons per COW
as compared with maximum northern
average "f four hundred gallons. an al
most lncre,iible and for Florida posi-
lively 'iiscre,lltable disparity.
In CONCLUSION, when Florida has done
justice 10 her cattle trade in all lts
branches and has developed the manufac-
lures Associated with it. her financial po-
sltion will be very different To what il il
at present. depending upon oranges,
