No fruit grower can attend that meeting

Every one should bring some of the best

whole as we'll as to the individual grower.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Spring Planting Of Deciduous Fruit
Trees in Florida.

This idea-spring planting-has been
brought from a country that is locked
up with ice and snow from December to
April. Now how does it work here?
Why, our trees are in full growth; yes,
some of them, the peach and mulberry,
in full fruit and ripe at that, before trees
can be planted in Northern Ohio and New
York
/ think our State aut critics at least
two months behind the season when they
put Arbor Day the middle of February
instead OF putting it before Christmas
when our trees are in a state of rest.
AS soon as the leaf tur MS yellow it has
performed it's office and the tree is dor
mant, and is then in it's best condition to
transplant, transpose, etc.
Now, in support Of early planting, there
are more reasons besides that of the tree
being in a dormant state. The weather
to follow when trees are planted early is
altogether favorable, as in Florida We
usually have considerable rain at the
close of the old year and the first of the
new; also in planting the first of Decem-
Der or earlier the prevailing weather is
more favorable as regards non-grow-
ing period. In December the weather is
such as to favor a rest of month or
more, as to putting forth foliage. Trees
should be allowed some time to take hold
on the ground before the tax of heavy
growth of foliage is required OF them.
There is much longer season for growth
| when planted before the end of the year
| Trees so planted will be much more likely
to live, and will make twice or thrice the
growth the first year.
When planted the last Of February or
the first of March they Immediately en-
counter spring drouth from March to
July the time of the first rainy season.
Again, being warm, and the opening of
spring the recently planted tree, in keep
ing with all surrounding nature, tries to
grow and go ahead, and not having root
ed exhausts the sap in the body of the
tree to support the hurried foliage for
which the season calls. Ii am in error
will be glad to be corrected. HASKELL.

Ii the Farmers Alliance is ever going to
be OF any real benefit to West Florida it
must " put it's foot down hard on ship
ping cotton seed. The iute bagging
business is not enough. If the meal is
better than the rotted seed, then mills
should be erected near enough each other
to be accessible to all the surround
ing country so that when ground the
meal can be returned as any other grist
is returned The machinery is said to be
expensive and farmers have no capital to
invest in such enterprises. They invest
in commercial fertilizers, and it could and
should be cooperative as other enter
prises. If they cannot have q whaling
big thing" do smaller business and
make the minnow grow into a whale. A
single cotton seed is small affair, but it
will yield several hundred if properly
planted and cared for-so can a seed mill
enterprise make a small beginning and
grow to large proportions and thus pro-
vide home market for our surplus cot
ton seed. There are several other mark
etable items I thought of presenting, but
as | wish to say more on these points
than the length of one letter would reas-
onably allow, [ will let them wait over
till next time T. BIC.

In reference to what our correspon-
dent says about the agricultural papers
of the State devoting so much attention
and space to the discussion of the orange
and so little to agricultural matters of
West Florida we will quote the old adage
'The Lord helps those who help them
Selves and will paraphrase it by saying
that the agricultural papers help those
who help themselves. If the farmers Of
West Florida will view the matter in it's
proper light, they cannot help but see
that it is entirely their own fault that the
agricultural papers, at least the AGRI-
CULTURIsT, does not devote more space
and attention to their section ofcountry,
to their products and their interests gen
orally. If they will contribute articles to
the AGRICULTURIST we assure them that
they will be speedily published, and in
terest in the agriculture and horticulture
Of their respective sections will be awak-
ened, they will be benefited by an ex-
change of ideas, and in a very short time
agriculture in West Florida will be the
leading topic in the agricultural papers.
But they must initiate the work, they must
start the ball to rolling, and when once
started we believe it's course will not be
proportions.-Ed. f. A..
