For THE FLORIDA AGRIcULTuRIsT.
Gold of Pleasure"
Editor FYonda AgrfeuIturist:

Editor Florida AgTfcuIturiSt:
While in conversation with German some time
ago he spoke about grain he called the ''Gold
of Pleasure and remarked about it growing up
on poor, sandy soil, and being good for so many
things, and wondered if it would not do well in
Florida. l have tried to get information about
1T, but cannot SO far. Can you give any light
the subject? E. r. H.
"Gold of Pleasure (Camelina sativa-Crantz)
is an annual herb, and is cultivated in Middle and
Southern Europe. 1t grows well on poor soil and
produces as much thirty bushels of seed to the
acre. From the seed an oil is extracted, which is
used for burning in lamps, the manufacture of
soap for dressing wooden goods, lubrcating
chinery, and for painters. 1t grows and natures
in about three months, and besides the of it's
seed for oil, the stems yield coarse fberfor MAX
ing sacks etc, and also for the manufacture of
coarse paper. We should think it would do well
in Florida, and hope to hear of someone being
able to get the seed and trying it.-ED.
In answer to your appeal (date March

was SENT with several other journals, by
lady living in Florida, and received in

A Monticello Enterprise.

An enterprise recently established in
Monticello is the stock farm of j. c. Ly-
man, young man who went there from
Monroe, Wisconsin, less than two years
ago This gentleman has recently been in
Jacksonville and to a representative of the
Times-Union he impaired some very inter-
esting information on the prosecution OF
this new business in Middle Florida.
"Where is your farm situated, Mr.. Ly-
man."
cit adjoins the corporation limits on
the south. | have about seventy-fiv
acres laid down to grass. This is both
for grazing and harvesting. So far the
experiment has proved very successful
Ny first essay was in Johnson grass
This produced q ton OF hay to the acre
without the use of fertilizers Properly
fortified it can be made to yield three or
four times that amount. There are three
crops-One in May, July and September
each"
"What kind OF grass do you use for
grazing?"
Give or six acres on my farm have
been set out with Texas blue grass. This
is transplantedfrom Texas, theroots being
ranged in long rows quite close together
In time the entire soil becomes sodded
over, and the grass is one of the very
finest for grazing. But the process is
slow and expensive"

ent?'
II am beginning only in a small way
1t will take several years to bring the
business where want to see it. My in

five mules at present, stallion or two,

from four to eight years old and many Of
them are already with foal. Besides these

of the latter is q very valuable one-a

'EDo you engage in farming while wait

ooh yes. Iraise all the hay and corn
needed for the stock, and have had two
excellent crops of cotton already. wish

Geneva's Progress.
Pinerola, Italy

Seven years ago the writer came to Or
ange county and cast his lot with the few
pioneers then at Geneva At that time
there were only three or four bearing Or
ange groves in the neighborhood, and
very few young groves. The number of
bearing trees perhaps did not exceed four
or five hundred. Let uscOmpare the pres
ent with seven years ago. To-day we
have in round numbers $4,000 orange
and lemon trees in grove. This does not
include the many thousands in nursery.
OF this number between eight and nine
thousand arein bearing; about two thou
sand more are just coming into bearing,
and each succeeding year will bringa con-
siderable percentage of the remainderin into
bearing, and each year more land is being
cleared and more trees set out. During
the present year nearly one hundred acres
in tracts of one to twelve acres, have been
cleared and fenced a portion of it has al
ready been set to trees and the balance
soon will be. There are also several va
rieties of fruit being grown here success
fully, some of which, seven years ago,
were given no thought; especially is this
the case with regard to peaches. The
Peen-to peach thrives and bears fruit of
good flavor. Pineapples produce much
finer fruit here than in the Indian River
country. We have guavas in endless va
riety. Truck farming is on theincrease In
addition to our oranges, lemons and other
fruits, grape grOwingis attracting cOnsid-
cradle attention, and promises to take q
conspicuousp place among Geneva's indus
tries. Those who have engaged in it eX-
tensively are G. Demont, j. I'll. Lamoreux
and A. HI. Shipman (deceased). Mr..
Demont has about one thousand vines in
vineyard and about the same number in
nursery Mr. LamOreuX has out about
six hundred, and on the Shipman place
there are eight acres, with something over
three thousand vines. Dement'S vines
have made very satisfactory growth. He
has an experienced grape grower q
Frenchman-in charge. Mr.. Lamoreux's
vines made very poor growth during the
spring and early summer, but when he
was written to in regard to it, he replied
that it was all right, that the vines were
only becoming acclimated and that he
did not expect much growth the first sea-
son. 1t is well enough to note just here
that Mr.. LamOreux is an experienced
grape grower. His vines, however, put on
good growth during the fall, many of
them putting out several branches each
eight to ten feet long. There are thirty
two varieties in his vineyard, the object
of so many varieties being to find some
thing best suited to-this climate and soil.
The Shipman vineyard has several vaTie-
ties. They were set in the early spring Of
this year, as also were LamOreuX's. They
made a growth early in the season that
was astonishing, even to experienced
growers. Many OF them attained a length
OF twenty feet and will measure one inch

The fifth recommendation, which was
''that the city should not own or oper-
ate any sewer farm, but dispose of the
products resulting from any treatment
of the sewage to land owners under such
terms and for such periods as would be
to the best interests Of the city," was
read.
Mr.. Hamilton was opposed to this
recommendation, and offered resolu-
ton to the effect that l 900 acres of land
be purchased and rented to citizens in
small parcels. He thought that it would
be of great benefit for large number OF
poor people.
Mr.. Knox opposed the resolution on
the groundthat it would not be legal.
Mr. Hamilton's resolution was lost,
and the sixth resolution, which reads as
follows, was adopted.

this subject, have become impressed with the

The last clause of the report was

We concur in ths foregoing report and con-
illusions as amended b. us, but would more
distinctly explain our approval of the three or
four conclusions by saying that we first favor
alternative methods of disposition by fltra-
ton or precipitation OF the purified sewer
water. But If after fair trial they shall prove
impracticable or unsatisfactory, an outtall
sewer to the ocean would become an impera
tive necessity; but 1t should be used only to
carry away the purified sewage water, SO as to
avoid nuisance upon the ocean shore.
1t was then adopted, and the commits

Mr.. Wheeling. after stating that it was not he
who desired the postponement read the follow

GENTLEMEN-You will please take notice that
|, M. Whaling, member of the City Board OF
Educstion, object to and protest against your
acts and resolutions herein relating to the
selection and purchase of school sites in and
for this city: and that you are attempting to
exceed that power and authority conferred
upon you by law, and acting in direct violation
thereof, In assuming to either select, purchase
or In any manner control the selection and
purchase OF the same; and that the law OF this
powers the Board of Education to select sell
and purchase all school sites and other needful
and necessary school apparatus and machinery,
and all things appertaining thereto. And the
Counch) to see that the same is faithfully
executed and carried out, but that you are not
vested with the right or authority under the
law to in any manner assume to divest the
Board of kducatOn of these special and Pc
culiar functions and prerogstives conferred
upon it by law, viz to select and urchsse
school ST. es and other necessary property for
the use and benefit OF the public schools; and
Of this you will take due notice, and rescind all
acts in relation to the selection and purcha.e of
school sites and other operty for school pur-
poses, as cannot loneer permit myself and
others to violate that solemn and sacred obliga-
ton and duty which the law plainly and posi-
lively eDioins upon all. and which l am not
willing should be frustrated and perverted to
an improper end and possibly fatal results.
The protest was received and filed.
Upon motion of Mr. Pomeroy, it was decided
to purchase lots l, 2 and and part of lot in
block of the Colina Park tract for So 500.
The Eighth ward was granted ole weeks

There is no better evidence of pros.

than lies In the fact that the railroads
are doing an unusually heavy freight
business. II consists very largely In
the work of sending products of the State to
the East where they are exchanged for money

a month the Southern Pacific has dispatched,
in addition to its regular freight trainF, twenty
or thirty special trains each Of twenty cars,
making total OF four or five hundred cars,
proaucts which have gone out of the State in a
short space OF time. The Santa Fe has been
twenty cars each, laden with raisins. In the
course Of the season this road has also sent
about 100 cars of barley, shipped for the most
part to Milwaukee for brewing purposes.
The crops this year have been so large and
the eastern market SO good that the probability
is that the export business will hold up through
this month and next, which will bring 1t up to
the time of the orange crop.
