tension OF sugar culture, ana particularly
of the highest manufacturing process of
the sugar.
RESULTS IN POPULATION AND WEALTH.
Louisiana, alive to the Importance of
sugar culture, even under some very un-
favorable conditions, has established
sugar experiment station. She has for
years past had the aid OF the. United
States government, and thus all that
science and money could do has been done
for her. Florida, on the contrary, does
nothing; her legislators seem to besupine-
ly Indifferent to the development of an
industry that would swell into scores of
millions annually and make her one of
the richest States in the Union.
If the manufacture of the sugar that is
to be made in Florida shall be completed
in the State what an army of respectable
workmen, in addition to the planters,
will be employed the year round. Multi
ply these by three or four to represent
their wives and children. Add to these
the merchants and clerks, butchers and
bakers, mechanics and laborers, the rail-
road men, teachers. ministers, doctors,
lawyers and the great retinue of popula-
ton always living in the wake of great
manufacturing industry.
Then consider the market thus created
for the great number of farmers required
to feed SO large, busy and prosperous a
population. Consider also the immense
amount of cash capital that would come
into the State to be invested in railroads,
buildings and machinery, in warehouses
and stores, in dwellings, and hotels and in
ways too numerous to mention, and we
can get faint idea of the wonderful fut-
ure that lies before Florida in this one
industry, and more especially if the man
ufacture is carried to the utmost within
the State.
Should Florida and Louisiana happily
be able, as we hope; to supply the United
States with sugar, these States will be
made grandly prosperous and populous,
and the whole country will enjoy that ar
ticle of luxury, comfort, necessity, that,
as before stated, is derived from the air
and water, and, it may be added, returns
to the same elements chiefly through
every breath we draw. Then the SIS, ,OOO,-
900 in gold that is now paid for foreign
sugar, and thus really lost, would remain
in the country, solid capital, to promote
American advancement.
The national policy of America has al
ways been to encourage home production
OF everything fairly within the scope of
her climate, and in nothing have the
American people been more generous and
self-sacrifcing than for the benefit of su-
gar culture. l.. II. ARMSTRONG.

Notes From Mariana.

Peach and pear trees are blooming.
Farmers are too busy to come to town
much.
Weather cool and cloudy, rendering
vegetation backward.
The flower yards are lovely in their
sweet, fresh, bright flowers.
The public school grows in numbers
and popularity steadily. Long may it
prosper.
Hon. w. H. Milton, ST., has set thir-
teen hundred pear trees, besides peach,
pecan and other trees. 1t looks like
somebody believes in the business.
Marianna is having a new market
house and town hall erected New resi-
dences are going up, and the paint brush
is kept busy, The old-time white houses
with green blinds will soon be among the
things of the past.
A sad killing affair occurred here on
Saturday night. Mr.. B. Stribling was
shot and killed by Dock Barfeld. No
witness except Mr.. Barfeld's own testi-
mony. He reported the case to the
deputy sheriff, who had an inquest, and
the verdict brought by theiury was iusti-
fable homicide.

The Sugar Industry.


he was equally great as a statesman and
political economist. He not only aimed
to make France glorious and powerful
among the nations of Europe, but to rem
der her Independent of other countries by
developing her agricultural resources.
France was then surrounded by enemies,
who had almost entirely destroyed her
foreign commerce. This was not wholly
a calamity, for it established the present
immense beet sugarproduction OF Europe.
1t is but just to add that about 1850
German chemist found that beets con
tanned crystalized sugar, and soon after
another German chemist showed that it
could be extracted, but too small in guam
tity to be profitable. Napoleon, however,
knowing that sugar was in the beetroots
in sufficiently rich proportions, estab-
lished six experiment stations, at cost
of 100000 a year, to push this sugar
enterprise to earliest possible success.
After his fallrit languished until 1926,
when improvements were made by which
5 per cent. of sugar was extracted; then
the business became firmly established
and has steadily grown SO that, in 1876,
continental Europe produced LISA, 900
tons. Since then it is said to have reached
the enormous quantity of 5000, 900 tons
q year France has always led in this in
dustry, and in the year named produced
100000 tons of sugar, worth $780,
100000.
Such has been the grand result of Ma
poleon's foresight and liberal outlay.
The $40, 900, 900, now much more, thus
produced by France is just SO much
money saved to the nation, because it is
retained at home in the pockets of her
people, and this industry supports and
enriches multitude of people in raising
beets, in manufacturing sugar and in all
collateral employments.
SUGAR NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE CROP.
AS Florida is just entering into vast
sugar industry, there are several encour-
aging facts in the case worthy of notice.
Sugar is a solid substance, but science
has shown it to be nothing but a COM
pound of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen,
without nitrogen or any of the mineral
elements of-the SOIL hence nothing OF SUI
gar is really taken from the land. AL
though beets and cane, like everything
else, require rich ground to build up the
frame and tissues that are to producethe
diluted sugar; yet if the residual offal, or
an equivalent, shall be honestly returned
to the land, it should not be exhausted by
successive crops.
Furthermore, sugar cane is raised with
much less labor than beets; the weight OF
cane to the acre, is much greater, the pro-
portion of sugar in cane is. nearly double;
and finally the sweetening power OF cane
sugar is much greater than that OF beets.
South Florida iii all probability has land
enough adapted to sugar culture to sup
ply the whole United States with sugar,
worth at manufacturers prices $75, ,OOO,-
900 to 500, ,OOO,OOO year.
Two things, however, are very desira-
BILE; one for the benefit of this rising in
dustry. is a continuance of full protective
duties by the United States government.
The other, for the benefit Of the State OF

following to the Inter-O Ocean, from

extinct tribes whose dwellings are
found in Arizona. I have examined
the Cliff-Dwellings here and find
them the same as those in Chihuahua.
This supports the theory that the

safe refuge in the Sierra Madres,
