We Don't Fear the Honest Commis-

1t is really too bad that after the orange
growers had pretty thoroughly organized
themselves under the Florida Orange
Growers Union that competing associ-
ation-the Growers (?) and Dealers Pro-
tective Association-should have been
formed. However, it will be a war to the
death, and another case of the survival
of the fittest. And it won't be the mon
g1el association that survives, either

We would not object SO seriously if the
honest, straightforward commission men
should be at least second in the race. We
have the best of feelings for them, but the
trouble is in Distinguishing the goodfrom

but the yield will be quick and in most
cases entirely satisfactory.
In the sections of the State above re-
ferred to his chief products will be cot
ton, corn, potatoes, rice, vegetables, etc.
Farmers in no sections of our country ac-
cumulate fortunes, and so # our Kansas
friend lives in comfort from the produce
of his farm, and at the same time sees
his beloved better half regain her health
and vigor he should be well pleased.
In South Florida there are equally as
many opportunities for the Industrious
man. Truck farming yields quick re-
turn, and if he wishes to try his luck in
the orange business we would advise him
to locate in some section where he could
make an orange grove at the same time
he was making a living from his vegeta-
BILE garden and with general farming in a.
small way
However, before he comes to any Sec
tion of the State with his ishousehold goods,
before he sells his home in Kansas and
before he makes any steps towards immi-
grating, we advise him to visit the State
and decide for himself, and at the same
time he can select his location and make
his preliminary arrangements.

Planting and Cultivating the Nc
NeilI Pea.

AS we have received many inquiries of
late concerning the Mcneil pea, we give
below some instructions for the planting
and cultivation of the pea, from the pen
of the late w. 2. Horne, to whom is cred
tied the introduction of this pea into this
State:
First select a plot OF land that is not
too light and dry, nor that which is too
low and wet. Rather low land which has
been well drained, SO that water will not
stand on it after heavy rains, does well.
Lands that are too light and thirsty in a
dry season cause the vines to fire and
burn, injuring the crop. The peas must
have some moisture to make the pods. A
rather stiff soil suits them best, unless
the season is favorable, when they will do
well on sandy soil.
''The land should be broken up deep a
month or two before the peas are planted.
About the first of November break up the
land again. Haul out twenty or thirty
cart loads of lot.or cowpen manure, drop
ping it on the land Mark off the rows
with six-inch shovel plow three feet
apart, running twice in row, which
should be seven or eight inches deep.
Scatter the manure in these rows. Then
put on the manure 800 pounds of some
good fertilizer. Cover the manure by run
ming four burrows around the row, which
will break out nearly all the middles Use
the same shovel plow, as this plow does
not throw high bed. Now open the bed
with a long four-inch scooter plcw deep,
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-10-30

Mr.. ]. RUSSELL KENNEDY, correspond
ing secretary of the Orange Growers
Union, says the State is full of buyers
who offer fair prices on the trees. Grow
ers are requested not to sacrifice their
fruit. Prices will range high this season
and the general impression is that or
anges are worth $1.25 on the trees. If
the dealers will not pay this ship through
the Fruit Exchange.

Advice to Poor Immigrants.


and the delicate condition of his wife's
health, he desires to change his location
to a milder climate. He concludes by
saying that he is man of very moderate
means, and must depend upon imme.Aate
returns from his labor for his daily Tread
and asks our advice about moving to
Florida
Not knowing fully the condition of the
gentleman, or his capabilities, and his
aptitude to adapt himself to circum-
stances, we hesitate to advise one way or
the other However, we would say to the
man of ordinary intelligence, energy and
perseverance, come and come at once.
As to the benefits that can be derived
from climatic causes there can be no
doubt. AS to the other matter, that of
making a living, there is, of course, room
for argument. Someindividuals will fail,
no matter in what country they locate
or how favorable are the conditions. To
this class we would say, stay where you
are Florida will not benefit you, nor you
Florida.
We will presume that our Kansas cor
respondent wishes to follow the business
in which he is now engaged farming.
At least we would advise him to do so, as
he is familiar with it and would not be
compelled to learn new trade OF course
there is difference between the details of
Kansas farming and Florida farming, but
the principals are the same.
One of the old-timers of Florida was
frequently asked the same question that
has been asked us above. And great
many of the following ideas we get from
his advice and answers-nO less an author
ity than the late w. p Horne.
A poor man, and such our Kansas
friend says he is, who wishes to come to
Florida to derive health from her air and
sustenance from the soil, should seek the
farming counties of West Florida-Leon,
Baker, Jackson, Jefferson, Madison and
numerous others. Let him buy from ten
to forty acres of land, according to
his means. Do not trust to your own
Judgment in the selection of this land, but
call to your assistance some of the hon
est, disinterested farmers in the locality.
They are familiar with the land and it's
productiveness. You will probably find
it to your interest to locates some distance
G.. II H.
bly, cheaper. However, a location in a
neighborhood favored with schools,
churches and good neighbors counts for
great DEAL
Mr.. Horne's advice for a man with $500
capital is to buy only ten acres of land.
''Then let him build cheap log house,
which he can do himself at very small
cost. Buy nothing butfooring and nails
and few pieces of plank to make doors
and shutters. Yes, my friend, this is just
such house as / began life in, and by the
way, the log cabin is the healthiest house
you can live in in this climate You rare
ly, if ever, take cold in log cabin When
person builds house of this kind he
will not have to pay out over twenty dol
lars to build it,"
So says Mr.. Horne, and he achieved
more than ordinary success. This house
is only temporary, and should of course
be replaced by better one in the course
of time

Suggestions for November.

for slight frosts during the latter part of
the month, and be prepared to save your
tender plants by means of protectors.
We have given instructions as to how
they may be made in former issues of the
AGRI ULTURIT, and there is also good
plan suggested by a correspondent in an
other column of this issue.
Garden peas may now be planted quite
extensively. We would recommend the
earliest varieties, as this is the most
important consideration. During rainy
days-if we ever have any again-you
should prepare your sticks. 1T would, we
think, be good plan to pla 1t two rows
close together, so that one set of stakes
will do for two rows.
See that the vegetables planted last
month, or before, are we'll and thoroughly
cultivated, and that the soil is frequently
stirred.
you are prepared to irrigate, now is
the time to use water freely. Plants
stinted now, in their infancy, will never
recover from the set back.
Turnips can still be sown The beds
should previously be thoroughly pulver-
lied and fertilized. New land is the best
for turnips, or if this is not to be had use
land upon which no tuberOus crop has
been grown for several years. The seed,
if possible, should be sown just before a
rain. Ii this cannot be done, plant them
late in the evening and the heavy dew will
assist in a measure, to furnish sufficient
quantity of moisture to cause germina-
tion. Rapid termination is the point to
be most desired, as the future well doing
of the plant depends largely upon it.
The tops should be cut from the aspar-
agus bed during the latter part of this
month. The top soil should be turned,
using a manure fork instead of a spade,
and being careful not to injure the crown
of the roots. After the bed has been
worked in this manner apply all the ma
nure you can afford. Rich stable manure
composted with leaf mould or muck and
cotton seed meal is one of the best obtain
able fertilizers.
Now is good time to set out beds of
shallott buttons. In the spring they will
be delicious, and fill the gap in the vege-
table supply.
Don't fail to SOW another bed of lettuce
1t will pay you to keep this plant grow
ing in your garden all the time.
Radshes should also be planted again.
Plant in very rich land, and promote
quick growth by frequently stirring the
soil and watering if necessary, otherwise
your radishes will be tough and pethy.
When your China berries begin to ripen
gather them as they fall from the tree
and put them in barrels under cover.
These can be used for fertilizer and insec-
ticide for plants. Goodsoap can be made
from them, they taking the place of grease
in the compound.
Sweet potatoes must be dug and housed
during this month, or there is danger of
them being frosted.
Sugar and syrup making will be com
menced during this month, and will con
tinue until the cane is all used up.
See that your boxes, clippers, stencils,
brushes, ladders, ETC., are in good order
and ready for use at any moment, for the
