That Anthony will soon become one

In very short time the third plant

There is much in store for the salt in

with her onward march and indomItable
energy will doubtless become the great
salt center of the west. With almost
every line of trunk railways centering
there. the lowest rates can be obtained
to all parts of the country. Immense
warehouses will be built and cooper
age houses established. The salt
can be shipped Ill bulk from Anthony

the greatest possible profit, and giving to
Wichita the opportunity to become the

PROGRAM.
The program of the day was as fol-
lows: Meeting of commander in chief,
department officers and visitors at the
depot. with the famous Cowboy band,
and about seventy-fve carriages, deco

0. II. Coulter, adjutant general, from
Ella Powell, department president of.the
Woman's Relief Corps, in which she ex-
pressed her regrets to Post 294 and
citizens of Dodge, that her department
work was so pressing that she was I'M
abb. TO be present on this occasion.
to which Major Warner made response
in very brief but fitting remarks.
The assemblage then adjourned and
escorted the cemmander-in-chief to the
Rock Island depot. all regrettlngithat his
departure was so important that he was
obliged to leave us before the festivities
were all enjoyed. The asSemblage then
repaired to the large. capacious dining
room, which was arranged to seat $50
persons, and three solid hours were oc-
cupied in feeding, and fully $500 people
enjoyed as fine meal as was ever set
before king.

with prayer by Rev. E. R. Lowther, fol-
lowed by fine overture by the Cowboy
band and an address Of welcome by Rev.
j. NJ. Wright, after which Hon. NJ. W.

excellent and fitting speech for the oc-
casion. Vocal music by twenty voices.

No Leap Year in 1900.

NondeScf1pt-
Although the year 1900 will be de-
visible by four without remainder it
will not be leap year. 1t is well to be
informed of this in time. Twelve years
must elapse before this interesting event
takes place, but it was just the same in
1900 and in 100, but not in 1900, for
that was leap year, 1000 will be leap
year also. Why this should be is as
much a problem to the general reader as
the silver question or the tariff issue.
To explain in detail would be tiresome
task; but it rests on the principle that a
difference of II minutes per year exist
between actual time and calendar time.

There is a rumor that the 20 southern

Of course it is only rumor and very

double-page map of the United States

There must be mistake in the record

The mistake is not in the actual record
but in the reports or rumors. There has
been, beyond doubt, more ablebodied
lying about Kansas than any other
state, but it is, nevertheless, fact that,
taken one year with another, the crops
of this state have averaged higher than
any Other. AS to the quality of Kansas
products, it is enough to say that its
corn and oats and wheat is used liber
ally on the leading markets of the west
to ''grade up those cereals, lequota-

Editor Florida AgricuIturist:
In what a seemingly helpless condition
the novice in orange growing must be
after carefully studying the Doctors on
the proper management of the grove. On
the one side he reads, keep the grove
quite clean; thorough cultivation, no
half measures" And then he turns to the
other side and reads that such a system
will eventually ruin his land, etc. Now,
what is he to do? Is there no half way
ground on which these two opposing the
ories can be reconciIed and made of use to
the novice? am only novice myself,
but one who has carefully studied thesub-
iect for the last four years, and am not
sure whether the plan | adopt is best. I
am ready to alter it only when / find
better one.
In the first place we are, think, bound
to recognize the fact that our sand is
mainly useful for holding our trees in po-
sition and at the same time is a channel
through which we can feed them. Grant
ed that we give them the necessary food,
what is the best method to adopt so that
the food shall not be lost to the trees or
taken up by other plants? Then, what
treatment will best enable the trees to
withstand the dry seasons and keep them
in vigorous condition and enable them
to bear heavy crop? The answer to the
first query is easily given, as we all know
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-08

by experience that if we allow grass and
weeds to grow they will rob the trees, and
so we keep the ground clean near the
trees whatever we do with the middles.
Now, does not this constant stirring of
the soil enable it to retain moisture bet
ter and thus mitigate the i'll effects of long
drouths? 1t is with these objects in view
that [ keep my groveclean, as clean as an
Acme run through it every ten days will
do it. But just here [ must admit that
what believe to he good for bearing
grove of large trees do not think is suit
able por those just coming into bearing,
for these simple reasons: In fertilizing
the former broadcast fertilizing is the
rule, and so it should be, in my opinion,
with a grove just entering that state, but
we know how hard it is to scatter such
small quantity of chemicals over such a
large space and so while in theory we be-
lieve in brOadcasting in practice we fall
short and promise that later on we will
increase the circle until we include all the
land. Now, by this method we leave the
bulk of the land without plant food, and
the result must be continal drain and
impoverishment, so we adopt half meas
ures and leave off clean cultivation in
June, allowing the grass to grow to be
turn ed under in September or better still
in January. Thus have tried to recon
cile the two theories.
