superstitious idea, like driving rusty nails
into the body of tree, is relic of the
dark ages, and on par with the many
superstitions of our American citizens of
African descent. No person ever cured q
tree by such nonsense. Any substance
put into the body of a tree, and the hole
plugged up, remains there and is of no
benefit, as it cannot circulate through
the sap for the benefit of the tree.
The orange tree, like everything else,
simply needs rational and common sense
treatment, and in due time it will return

For THE FLORIDA AGRpULTURIsT.
Letter from North Florida.

Letter from North Florida.
Much of the mainland and the island in
our immediate vicinity, viz Cumberland
Island, Ga, Amelia, Marten and Talbot
Island, Fla, are all peculiarly adapted to
profitable raising And on the rich,
black shell lands of these islands, Florida's
native weed, tobacco, grows luxuriantly,
while upon all our fiat lands of the inte-
rior, rice grows astonishingly well with
out fertilization And we cannot conceive
how in the past this product has been so
much neglected. Doubtless want of
proper rice machinery has been thecause
rice. The small farmers hull it by pound
ing in mortars, which at present they are
compelled to do, as the rice mills of Sa-
vannah and Charleston refuse to handle
it in quantities less than 100 to 500
bushels, while the larger planters pat
rOnize these mills paying freight to and
fro. 1t is a settled conviction among us
all that with rice mills stimulus would
be given to it's culture, and Florida would
have another staple commodity that
would add greatly to her wealth and
prosperity.
Those OF us engaged in stock raising
are highly pleased, though as yet on a
small scale, to give our success would
hardly be credited Our Florida horses
are in demand both here, and in South
ern Georgia, selling readily at two
to three years old at fair prices. We
disposed OF two within the last month, one
broken, for which we received $130, and
one unbroken for $75 cash. And then,
too, during an influx of queer breed Of
imported horses, first called Mexican,
then Texas, and now Creoles.
Away back in 1859 there came a vessel
with a cargo of these horses from the
coast of Mexico or Texas to Florida, an
choring about mile from shore, near
Bay Port, on the Gulf Coast, the vessel
drawing too much water to come nearer
shore. She discharged her cargo Of

choice. She was d beautiful Mexican,
as they called her, but possessing no
amiable disposition, having all the ambi-
tion of an Arabian steed, and the obsti-
macy of jack. They all had the same
brand and the same disposition at times
to make things lively, and was my first
and only Texas. They are sold at times
at Fernandina, our county capital, at
auction at low prices.
Some of the Florida people of this Sec
tion buy them, and the contest between
them for mastery is highly enlivening.
Various methods are adopted to effectu-
ally break these animals with varying
success. The most novel, and apparently
the most efficacious way, l saw some time
ago practiced by a colored man. After.
making every effort to ride or drive his
horse with no success, he took the Texas

had considerable experience with this dis
ease in my own grove. | have had a
number of trees completely girdled for a
space of three or four inches, and yet get
entirely well and become healthy, thrifty
trees.
The orange tree possesses wonderful re-
operative powers, and is probably the
only hardwood tree in existence that will
survive such destructive treatment.
The Cure for foot-rot is very simple and
effective, although one of our most exten-
sive orange growers pronounced it the
most serious in it's nature of the diseases
to which the orange tree is subject, and
more to be dreaded than all the insect
pests. My eatment of the disease is to
remove the earth from around the tree
sufficient to expose all the diseased parts,
cut away all the bark infected, and thor
oughly cleanse by the application OF a
weak solution of carboIic acid with a stiff
brush; or of sulphurous acid. which is
still better; or, in some instances, l have
merely used solution of sulphate Ofpot-
ash and sulphur. then apply coating
of grating wax, or coal tar, and cover
the Uarts with fresh, moist earth, packing
it firmly around the base of the tree. In
short time, where the tree has been
completely girdled, small white roots will
start down from the lower part Of the
healthy bark of the tree, and in time form
a complete covering to the diseased part,
and healthy tree will be the result.
However, unless it is a tree that you are
especially desirous of saving, my advice
would be to dig up the tree and burn it,
ani replace it with healthy one, if the
disease has become very far advanced be-
fore it is discovered.
There is one popularity connected with
this disease, referred to at the commence
ment Of this paper, in regard to which
differ from the popular idea, and that is,
that the wood louise is injurious to the
orange tree. But why the little innocent
white ant should be called wood louise,
is beyond my comprehension. 1t is char
acteristic of Florida nomenclature, how
ever, where the land turtle is called a
gopher, a gopher salamander, or a bass
trout. The popular theory is that the
wood louise eats the bark from the tree,
thus girdling and destroying it. This, in
my opinion, is a serious error, and does
great injustice to one of the best friends
of the orange grower. Why do wefnd the
wood louise in a tree that has thefOOt-rOt
and in no other? have lived in the cen
tire of twenty acre grove during the past
five years, and have made orange culture,
with it's numerous attendant disease
and enemies, careful study, and have
sought knowledge on my knees at the
foot of every tree in my grove, paying my
devotions to that god we alfWorship-th
orange tree-and have demonstrated to
my satisfaction, that the wood louise
seeks out diseased trees for thepurpose OF
eating out the disease, and for no other
purpose. No person ever found wood
louise in live, healthy bark or wood
never. 1t is not the nature of the insect.
1t feeds on dead wood entirely. 1t pull
verizes the roots and bark left in the
ground and prepares them for fertilizer.

FOot-ROt, Sore-Shins or Cracks in the
Orange Tree.


The orange has doubtless been
cultivated to some extent in Florida since
1865. 1t is not Indigenous to Florida,
but was brought here by the early ex-
plorers. In 1775 it was exported to a
limited extent, but at that time the trans
portation question, asitis to-day, was the
principal obstacle to be overcome to make
orange culture aproftable enterprise and
employment. But twas not until within
the past fifteen or twenty years that or
ange culturein Florida has received much
attention, and is to-day in it's infancy. We
stand upon the threshold of an enterprise
so vast, so gigantic in it's possibilities
that the mind of man cannot comprehend
it's magnitude.
AS we look forward to scene beyond
this world and picture in our
minds eve the beauties and glories of an
immortal life, SO we contemplate the
time, in the near future, when the borders
of these beautiful lakes and our broad
expanse of pine lands will be covered with
groves laden with the golden fruit SO we'll
adapted to our sunny cline, making this
a veritable Garden of Eden.
The climate of South Florida is partic-
ularly adapted to the raising of citrus
fruits, and with intelligent culture, proper
Judgment in the selection of location and
a bountiful supply OF fertilizers, success is
almost certain.
[ have chosen for this occasion the sub
ject of Nal di Coma, or ''foOt-rot," or
"sore-shin," or "cracks," as it is some
times called, from the fact that enter
tain certain ideas in regard to it's treat
ment, or rather in regard to an incident
connected with it's treatment, that con-
ficts with the popular idea upon that
subject. Nal di Coma has been very de,
structive to the groves in foreign coun-
tries. In 1882 it made it's appearance in
one-fourth of the trees on those islands.
Spreading eastward, it did immensedam-
age to the groves in Messina and Sicily,
the loss being estimated at 100000.
The disease has not attracted much at
tention in Florida, although it has exist
ed here for a number of years.
1t usually attacks the roots and base
OF the tree, and develops by reformation
ofagummy, viscid fluid between the bark
and the wood, which exudes from cracks
in the bark, and in a short time will ex-
tend entirely around the tree, completely
girdling it, and the roots will often be
found to be much decayed. Perhaps the
first Indication of the trouble will be no.
ticed in the color of the leaves. They will
assume light color, or pale yellow, and
if the disease is not checked will soon fall
Off If the tree is thus diseased in the
spring, it will put on wonderful amount
of bloom and sometimes mature fruit, but
it is it's last expiring effort. The bark,
where the disease exists, is loosened from
the wood and is readily removed, or dries
and decays.
1t is claimed that in this State the dis
ease has been exclusively confined to
sweet seedlings; but in the Eastern coun-
tries it attacked the entire citrus family,
sweet and sour.
AS to the cause of the disease, various
theories have hoan dVanced-imnrCner
