Profits in ten years Su.12
In the above table every item of ex-
pense Is noted except interest on the
investment and the cost of fencing
These two items are so well known the
world over that we have purpOseIy
omitted them as having no bearing as
far as information Is concerned. Fenc-
ing can be built here as cheaply as any
where The price given for cane is the
rate with sugar at four to five cents
pound As the price of sugar increases
the p.ice of cane increases correspond
ingly.
The question may very pertinsntly be
asked If raising sugar Is such a sure
and profitable business, why Is it that
the planters of this section have not
engaged more extensively in its produc-
tion!' Merely because there has been
no market for it. 1t is the erection of
large sugar mill at st. Cloud which has
caused our planters to turn their atten-
ton to its cultivation. With their pres
emit capacity the sugar mill can handle
the product of 800 acres of cane, but
with slight cost for additional machin-
cry they can about double their ca
paclty. There need be no fear but there
Will be a market for all the cane that
can be produced. When the capacity of
the present mill is supplied others will
be erected; and We expect to live to see
the day when at least dozen sugar
mills viii dot the fertile Kissimmee val
ley from this place to Fort Bassinger.

RAISING SUGAR CANE.
Tea Acre Iract-cosi and Profits In Ten Years

Kissimmee Leader.
Through typographical error the
Jacksonville Metropolis credits our
planters with profit of $3.50 per ton for
cane, instead of $3.50. Ordinarily we
should not correct SO apparent an error,
hut in this case we have been asked if
a ton of cane is worth $3.50 what must
be- the cost of production. Instead of
answering the inquiry by letter we have
thought that others might desire infor-
nation on this subject and so have in
terviewed a large number of planters
who have had experience in raising
cane, and give herewith the result OF
our inquiries. AS might be expected
the replies of the planters have varied
considerably, but We have taken an aver
age ON all points except as To the yield
of cane per acre and length of time II
will rattoon- As regards the yield the
replies ranged from thirty tn sixty tons
per acre. We have taken the lowest
yield, preferring to tell half the truth
rather than run the risk of over-stating
it. The majority of planters we talked
with agreed that cane would not need
replantIng under twelve or fifteen years,
some even asserted that with good cul-
tivation it would never run out. In our
table we have thought best to allow for
a replanting after SIX years, SO as 70 be
on the safe side. We have selected aver
age reclaimed land which requires neithe-
clearing nor fertilizer, and present here
with the figures to prove that sugar
cane pays better than any crop raised
North or West.

COMO TO INCORPORATE.
Meeting on ths- Subject OF Roads Steps Taken
Toward incorporation.

Toward incorporation.
Correspondence 81 the PaIdtkd Neics
COMO, January %.
Two weeks ago. through THE PALATKA
News, attention was called to the con-
dition of our roads, and it was suggested
by your correspondent that a citizens
meeting should be held at Dusenberry &
Ellis store on January "a, to consider
the matter and decide upon some
method of Improvement.
In response to the call there gathered
last CTuesday) night at the appointed
place nearly every able bodied citizen of
Como. Almost every household within
the radius of mile was represented.
Mr.. j. a. Manchester was chosen chair
man and Mr.. w. l.. Palmer secretary.
Some figures. were then laid before the
meeting to give rough idea of the cost
of such sawdust for cart roads and lum-
Der for sidewalks as would be necessary.
That amount being larger than any we
have ever yet raised by voluntary sub
scription and as the difficulties and
almost unavoidable unfairness of that
means were fresh in the minds of all, a
suggestion was made by Mr.. c. I. Pot
ter that the matter of incorporation be
considered. Mr.. Ill. j. Grim then en-
bodied the suggestion in a motion to
the effect that this meeting is of the
opinion that it is desirable that legal
corporation should be formed under the
name of Como"
After some favorable discussion in
which..Mr. NJ. e. Carter, Mr.. C. T. Potts,
Mr.. ID. E. Dusenberry, Mr.. III. j. Grim
and Mr.. c. g. Ellis took part, the motion
was put and carried unanimously.
A committee of five was then APP
pointed TO report upon the question as to
what shall be the limits of said borough
This committee consists of the following:
N. E. Carter, c. T. Potter, w. E.
Palmer, Charles G. Ellis and G. E.
Miller.
a committee OF two consisting of j.
A. Manchester and ID. f. Dusenberry
were appointed to obtain the necessary
legal advice from some qualified at
torney.
The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call of the committee on
boundaries. THO.

The formation of a committee of the
Board Of Trade to look after strangers
arriving in PalatSa who wish to learn
something of our city and its vicinity is
a wise move. The first impression is
often the most lasting one. III person
arrives here, a stranger, after several
days absence from his own people, and
receives no welcome, fluids no one TO take
even a passing interest in him the feeling
of desolation and Inconsistencies which
strikes him would obscure to him all the
glories OF our evergreen State. This
would be very marked effect on those
unused to travel. 1t is to be hoped that
this committee will be active and always
ready. Its mission is an Important one.

Asparagus, whether hot or cold, when
