ment that is done business will pour in on
it, and asitincreasesr rates will drop. The
time has been when early fruits and veg
etables commanded higher prices in New
York than here. But that day is past.
This city is so great distributing point
lit is SO impossible to glut the market
that the Florida growerc can send his stuff
here as safely as to New York. At pres
ent Florida, though much nearer cannot
compete here with Southern California.
1t costs more to ship acarload of oranges
from South Florida to Chicago than from
Riverside, Cal, and it takes longer to get
them here. Better railway facilities and
lower rates will break that California mo-
nopoly, and the oranges of the gulf and
the Pacific will compete on equal terms
in the Chicago market.
''Chicago is now furnishing Florida with
meat, hay corn, etc. 1t would prefer to

rather than in cash, and the Floridians
would gladly do business that way if they

Hints on Orange Culture in Florida
and the Fraud Business.

Seeing so many interesting articles in
your paper makes me think that |, too,
might send you a short one 1t is in re-
gard to orange culture, etc. [ do not Of
fer this for any one to take as advice, but
simply to let them know what | think
about the way things are being done.
Orange culture is one of the most i'm
portant things that anyone can learn. 1t
has been four years since first came to
Florida, and was anxious to put out an
orange grove. There were three of us
myself, father and brother We did not
know single thing about growing the
orange tree. But we did not go to the
growers and ask them for any informa-
ton, but went to work on an idea of Oul'
own, and it has worked well so far The
following is the way we treat our trees !;
read it carefully:
Dig the holes for your orange trees
about eight feet in diameter; then put in
about two bushels of well rottcd compost
or three pounds of commercial fertilizer.
Let this be done one month before setting
trees. When the trees are set besure you
set them just as they were before taken
up. About one month after the trees
have been set out hoe them thoroughly
then hoe twice a month afterwards, using
steel rake to do the work Ca hoe should
never be used around an orange tree).
Give the trees their regular hoeing in
every month but November, December
and January.
The trees should befertilized three times
each year, the first application being in
March, then again in June and in August.
During our drouths be sure not to let
your trees suffer for want of water.
Do not let any sprouts grow on the
body OF the trees. Some people say the
tree will not grow unless the sprouts are
on it, but this is a fallacy not to be list
ened to, for the reason that the growth
the tree puts into these unnecessary
sprouts would go to the tree were it not
for them.
For the four years that [ have been in
this State | have seen enough of the fraud
business to do me. Look at the groves
going to ruin for the want of proper care
1t can and must be avoided if the people
of Florida expect to reap the reward of
future riches.
Men get groves to take care of for own
ers who live in the North, promising to
take good care OF them, ETC.; but it is not

Bermuda Grass.

AS considerable discussion is going the
rounds of the papers on Bermuda grass,
| will give a little Of my experience with
it. One of my neighbors had a small
patch in a field where some early settler
had built a cabin of logs and had set
some Bermudain the yard. The old cabin
was either burned up or torn away, and
this patch of Bermuda was spreading so
rapidly that he had fears of it taking his
place. AS he was about to plant the field
to cotton the next spring, suggested to
him that he plowit under thoroughly and
keep the ground we'll cultivated. This was
in august, and his stock had fed it down
very short.
He followed my suggestion, turning un-
der all the grass nicely, and with harrow
and cultivator kept it clean as a summer
fallow The following spring a fewspears
made their appearance, and the ground
was ploWed and narrowed again and laid
off with the rest of the field and planted
to cotton. A fewmore spears made their
appearance, but the seasons cultivation
did them up and no Bermuda has since
appeared. There is no more being heard
about it. Thorough cultivation will de-
stroy it.
And now, | wish to say, one may search
the world over and not find more valu-
able grass for a hot climate than Bermu-
da. 1t grows on the poorest land and
makes one of the finest pastures to be
found, and the same area will afford more
feed, keep more stock and thrive under
more difficulties than any grass yet dis
|covered, and it is within the reach OF ALL
A man with but five acres OF land can
plant one in Bermuda grass, run light
ditch around it-even on a sand ridge
and with little cotton seed meal, or afeW
loads from the hen house, hog pen or COW
lot, can keepit in good growing condition
and it will feed horse and COW the year
round, with little fodder and corn two
months in the winter. Run a fence through
the centre Of the acre lot, to divide it, and
pasture half at time. Ii the pasture is
convenient to one of Florida's numerous
little lakes the stock will require but little
trouble and be but small expense. Without
1T the poor man must let the stock alone
and build tight fence. A pig or two can
also be kept in the same lot.
Now, there is nothing to hinder every
farmer who owns land, whether much or
little, from having as fine pasture in
Florida as on the best blue grass region
in Kentucky, and at half the cost and ex-
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-18

pense of any other grass in existence.
The light ditch keeps it from spreading,
with a little care once or twice a year to
go around with shovel and throw the
stray shoots back into the field.

Florida Needs the Chicago Market.


Editor Florida A AgricuIturist:
| cut the following from the Chicago
Tribune. 1t is an editorial, which fully
portrays the condition OF our traffic facil-
tiles with Florida. The whole trouble is
the lack OF a through line of railroad
through Georgia. Until that is made
Florida cannot send her fruits and vege-
tables to this great centre Georgia, with
it's dog in the manger railroad policy,
stands in the way of Florida-blocking
up her traffic with the great Northwest.
EDWIN M. HALE, M. d.
Chicago, Ill
"The excursion trip of the members of
several of fthecommercial exchanges of this
city to Tampa Bay and other points in
Florida has called the attention of res
idents of that State to the necessity of
better tradefacilities with Chicago, a mar
ket from which they are at present prac-
tically shut out owing to high rates, the
lack of through railroad line, and the
absence of proper facilities for caring for
their produce while in transit
Cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco, the
leading products of other gulf States, are
but incidentals in Florida to-day. For
many years to come, perhaps forever, it
is destined to be the early market garden
and orange plantation of the United
States. Oranges and 'garden truck" or
''sass" are the articles off which the Flor
idians make money when they make any.
No wonder, therefore, that they should
find it necessary to reach Chicago, which
is the great fruit and vegetable distrib-
uting point of this country. New York
does not begin to compare with it. But
for the fact that Southern producers are
not quite as active and wideawake as
those of some other sections of the coun-
try, and that Southern railroads have
not the push, and vim, and nose for busi-
ness that distinguish those in the North,
Florida would long ago havebeen as close
ly connected with this city as are the
truck growing sections of some other
Southern States.
Sat present the bulk of the Florida veg
etable and fruit shipment goes by rail to
Savannah, and thence by boat to New
York. The rates are not very high, and
the steamers are specially fitted for the
safe transport of even the most delicate
fruit. Some stuff is sent by allrail routes
to New York, but the charges have been
SO high as to discourage shippers. But
when the attempt is made to ship direct
to this city two difficulties present them
selves-there is no through line, and
owing to the lack of proper care oranges
are likely to be frozen in transit, and thus
ruined. Orange growers have tried the
experiment on various occasions and
have always been the losers. The freight
and the length OF time taken make it i'm
possible to ship here via New York. There
are number of railways in Georgia and
Alabama over which these Florida prod
ucts could be started Northward, but
they do not make close connections, they
are slow, and their equipment is poor.
They wait for business to be forced on
them and do not go ahead to make it.
The managers seem to think that New
York is the only place on the continent
worth paying attention to, and that if
