The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-29

SINCE the first of April there has been
in this section of South Florida (DeLand)
only AT inches of rainfall This month
there have been only two rains-on the
I'd and 18th, and both were too small to
measure in the gauge. In April there were
eight rainy days. The rains were all
light and in but three instances could
they be measured, and then aggre-
gated only At inches.

cultural value, and should be saved with
care proportional to it's efficacy Theni-
trogen being in a more available form, if
applied to crops in liquid state, it will
be more valuable in consequence of it's
solubility. When plants have reached
the stage of rapid and steady growth, ap-
preaching maturity, their vital energy
and the absorptive power of their roots
will enable them to profit wonderfully
from an application of liquid manure, for
which reason the caulidower and the cab
bage are treated to food in this form just
before the former is expected to "curd"
and the latter to head.
When Seeding plants have to be wa
tered at the time of transplanting, a
weak liquid manure would help them to
start better than pure water.
Urine is too Strong to be allowed to
come in direct contact with seed or with
roots, and should first be allowed to fer
ment and then be diluted with five or six
parts of water. In it's fresh state it con-
tains no ammonia, this being formed
from urea after putrefaction has COM
menced.
Solid manure may be stepped in water
until the latter has assumed a dark, clear
color, when the liquor may be used, or
Peruvian guano, at the rate of a quarter
OF pound, or any of the ammonia salts,
at the rate of two ounces dissolved in a
gallon of water, may be substituted.
Liquid manure should be applied just
before rain; at any rate the soil should
be moist as there is then no danger of the
liquid passing through the soil and be-
yond the reach of the roots. One gallon
of water is capable of absorbing one
thousand one hundred and fifty gallons
of gaseous ammonia. Owing to it's in
truck farmers, unfortunate
ly, rarely use liquid manure.

Famous Florida.

Under the above head the Southern
Farmer of Athens, Ca, drops into ''prose
poetry as follows:
"The land of flowers, the land of sun
shine, the land of romance, theland where
man really lives and takes delight in the
thought of his existence! Oh, Florida,
how often have the denizens of other
States felt the sharp touch of the cold
winds and snow and looked across their
black lands with longing eyes toward
thee. How they pined to make their
homes in Florida, how they have done so
and there are many more on the way
now"
Getting little less ethereal, the Farm
er continues.
"Within the past three years about
175,O0O permanent settlers have made
Florida their elightfulhome. While tens
their winter refuge from insidious dis
eases of the throat, lungs and nerves, and
have been benefited by their temporary
soiourn. 1t is as interesting as surpris-
ing to the Northern mind to learn that
the ratio of increase in wealth and popu-
lation has been greater in Florida during
the past two years than in any other
State or Territory in America, and as
this charming and wonderful peninsula
becomes better known this ratio ofcourse
will increase at an even more rapid rate.
''Like a magnet, Florida is drawing to
it from all parts of the world capital,
which, with them entail vigor ofthose who
are engaged in developing it's wonderful
Industries, will soon cause it to outrival
any State In the Union. 1t must be re-
membered that this State is in area
greater than New York and New Jersey
combined"
What the Farmer says is eminently
true. Our growth and development dur
ing the past ten years has been nphenomi-

OLIVE culture in California, says an
exchange, is rapidly assuming large pro-
portions. There are orchards there of
$4,000 trees, and thousands more are
being set out annually. In that climate
the olive crop is as absolutely sure
as anything earthly can be. 1t is
gathered in December and January, when
help is plenty, and keeps remarkably well.

ONE day last month, says the Fruit
Trade Journal, there were $50, 900 boxes
of lemons lying in differ ent parts OF the
United States waiting to be sold.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-29

growth and development will be IN no
ways diminished during thecoming years.
What are the causes which led to this
rapid growth? is aquestion often asked by
those not acquainted with the resources
of the State.
Every thinking man must admit that
there must be something unusual in our
State-something little better than in
other States-to bring about this happy
result Undoubtedly this is true. For if
we had no foundation for the claims
which we have been shrewed enough to ad-
vertise to the world, our efforts to pro-
cure settlers would have been futile. They
would, no doubt have visited us, but If
we had no advantages to offer them, after
prospecting" for ashort time they would
have left in disgust. That they did not
leave, but cast their lot among us and
have made enterprising, stirring citizens,
proves conclusively that our claims were
founded on facts.
1t is beyond the scope of a newspaper
article to enumerate all of the resources
and advantages of Florida.
Florida in the first place is an immense
a new conner wishes to follow the business
of general farmer he can go to the fertile
lands of North and West Florida, where
he will find a climate unequaled elsewhere
on the globe, and land that will produce
in richest profusion a variety of crops. If
he wishes to engage in the fruit business,
there is South Florida which demon
strates it's possibilities and gives a slight
glimpse of the future by it's present -four
ishing groves and orchards. If he wishes
to make truck gardening his occupation,
there are the fertile hammock lands in
every section OF the State awaiting only
his Industrious hand to yield profitable
harvest.
Much has been written about Florida,
too much in fact in certain way. Par
ties who have been badly afflicted with
the Florida fever, saw, fguratively, gold
and riches on every tree andin every acre
of ground. They wrote glowing accounts
to their friends, who became imbued
with the idea that Florida was an earthly
paradise; that wealth came at your beck
and call, and that it was notnecessary to
dig and delve to acquire riches. On visi-
ting the State these parties were of fcourse
disappointed, for although our State is
good one and has many advantages pos
sessed by no other, it is not one where
success can be achieved without toll, nor
does such one exist. Labor is essential
to success here as elsewhere, and he who
comes and expects an exception to this
long and well established rule will be
justly disappointed.
We would advise prospective settlers,
as we have often done before, to make
their first visit to Florida during the
summer if possible, for several reasons.
There is wide spread misapprehensio
concerning our summer climate. Tt is
pretty generally supposed by those un-
acquainted with the State that during
the summer months Florida is little less
than bake oven. This is a mistake
You will find many people here who will
tell you that they prefer the summer in
Florida to the winter. Still what will

Points on Fertilizers and Fertilizing.

In a country where fertilizers are so es-
sential to a successful and profitable cul
! tivation of the soil, it is incumbent upor
those who are dependent upon the pro-
duct of the soil for sustenance, to study
carefully the subject, and to post them
selves thoroughly as to the cheapest and
/ most economical kinds, and the ones best
| suited to their needs and the soil.
By the cheapest is not necessarily
meant those fertilizers which require the
least outlay of money-for they are in
fact often the dearest that can be bought
but those that give the best results in
proportion to the amount of money ex-
pended.
Another point of perhaps still greater
Importance is the methods of applying
fertilizers. 1t is a wilful waste to give a
tree or plant more than it requires or can
consume. 1t is economy to feed the tree
or plant in small quantities and as they
require it. By following this plan large
per centage of fertilizing matter that
would otherwise be washed down by the
rains or blown off by the winds, will be
saved.
One principle of plant feeding and soil
making that cannot be studied too close
ly, and which, unfortunately, is sadly neg
lected in Florida, is the matter of green
manuring. Many of our orange growers
who have become welded to the clean
culture plan, never give back to the soil
one of the most important constituents
of plant life-humus. Writing on this
subject of humus and green manuring,
Prof. A. Oemler, president of the Georgia
Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association,
says: "No appli;ation of commercial fer
tiliZers will continuously prove beneficial
without the presence, in the soil, of de-
caying vegetable matter, or hnmus, and
green manuring is the most efficacious
and cheapest manner of supplying the
land with large quantities of this neces-
sary Ingredient"
Where large quantity of stable ma
nure is available this application of hu-
mus is not so essential, although even
then it is desirable. And when this stable
manure is not obtainable, according to
Prof. Oemler, the application of humus
in the form of green manure, is of the
most vital Importance He says: '1t
[green manuring] should be practiced by
gardeners, irrespective of the supply Of
stable manure they may be able to COM
mand. But for those located at a dis
tance from cities, and therefore not able
to obtain a sufficiency of barn-yard ma
nure, green manuring becomes an abso-
lutte necessity"
The application of manure in LIQUID
form should be more generally practiced
by Florida gardeners, as the results are
often more satisfactory and immediate.
In last weeks AGRICULTURsT Mrs. Chap
man, our valued correspondent at Mari
anna, gave her experience with LIQUID ma
nure on growing and maturing plants.
Her statements are fully corroborated by
others who have tried the plan with
most satisfactory results.
In China and Holland, saws "Truck
Farming at the South" liquid manuring
for the most valuable crops is extensively
practiced AS the urine of all animals is
