Horticultural Education.

At it's last annual meeting the Florida
Horticultural Society made one very mod
est request of the Florida Legislature,
to-wit: That it make small appro-
priation to defray the expenses of pub
fishing the papers read before the Society,
for gratuitous distribution.
The Legislature could not make bet
ter appropriation. 1t would be money
well spent for many reasons.
First the papers in question are the
production of experienced men, are care
fully prepared, explicit and contain infor-
nation of value to nine-tenths of the peo-
pie of Florida.
And again; as our State looks to the fruit
industry in a large measure for it's pres
ent and future prosperity, it is incumbent
upon our legislators to encourage and
foster the industry by the dissemination
of knowledge that will increase the profits
of the business and rebound to the pros
perity OF the State.
In this matter of fruit growing, Florida
and the fruits grown are in a great meas
ure entirely different from other sections
OF the country and as a large per cent.
of our fruit growers come from these Sec
tions they are comparatively ignorant of
the methods that must be followed in
order to make the business successful.
For this reason the papers read before
the Florida Horticultural Society by men
who had learned these methods by prac-
tical experience, would prove of inestima-
BILE advantage to the new comers-that
class upon which we are dependent for
the future development of this industry,
which although great at present, is COM
paratively in it's infancy.
By all means the Legislature should
consider this matter and make the de-
sired appropriation.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-22
Don't Mortgage the Grove.

A bill recently introduced in the Legis-
lature-which, by the way, we trust will
become law establishing legal rate
OF interest for Florida, viz: s per cent,
per annum, and providing that an inter-
est in excess of this should be uncollecta-
ble calls to mind the fact that our Flori-
da people are following in the footsteps
of the farmers of the West, and the result
will be the same here as there. They will
perhaps pay the amount of the principal
in interest and after all be obliged to sell
their places at sacrifice when the Shy
locks demand their bond
The mortgage system is bad one un-
der any circumstances, and it is particu-
larly bad when the rate of interest is
high, which it always has beenin Florida,
and the possibility of cancelling the bond
is dependent upon crops of oranges to be
raised decade hence
improvements are, of course, desirable
and in many cases the love of improve
ment gets the better of the Judgment of
our orange growers, andi order to salts
fy their ambitions they will set out a
grove entirely too large for their limited
means, borrow money to keep it up, give
mortgage on the grove and for the
next ten years their earnings will go for
interest on this mortgage and theirgroves
will be neglected
The best plan is to guage your means
and plant only a small grove, or one that
you can raise without the assistance of
the Shylocks. And, above all things, do
not get too ambitious and make addi-
tions to the grove that will necessitate
the borrowing of money. A small grove
well cared for and free from mortgage
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-05-22

is worth a dozen large ones i'll kept and
incumbered with debt.
Ambition has been the rock that has
wrecked many people of Florida. Beware
of it. Be satisfied with small grove
free of mortgage, and you will be the
envy of large grove owners who are toll
ing early and late to pay the price of their
folly in the way of intereston mortgage
with healthy appetite.

Drying and Packing Peaches and Figs

peaches will become Improbable late IN
the season, and if it is possible for the
growers to utilize the fruit still in the Or
chard by canning or drying, it will be so
much clear profit.
Dried peaches are staple article of
commerce, and consequently always find
ready sale.
If you have large amount of fruit to
dry, it will pay you to make thorough
preparation before commencing work
The first thing to be attended to is the
trays in which the fruit is to be dried
The old method of spreading the fruit on
table in the sun is entirely too risky, as
light shower may come up at any time
Unexpectedly and spoil all of the fruit.
The best plan of making trays is to take
strips 1x1h inches and 6 feet long; fasten
these strips together in the form of a
square frame. and at the bottom nail
strips across the frame six or eight inches
apart. Your frame is now complete with
the exception of the bottom. This should
be made by tacking good heavy paper or
muslin to the strips inside of the frame.
The wood work of the frame should be
made of cypress or other light wood. Do
not use pine, as iU will give the fruit a
resinous flavor.
Mr.. Oliver, man of large experience in
the business, says in the California Rural
Press that all fruit that is to be dried
should be sulphured. Sulphurbeaches it
and kills any small insects that may be
in it. Such insects are generally in the
openings of the skin of the fruit. Air
tight boxes should be made about eight
feet long, seven feet wide and four or five
feet high. Have them air tight by all
means. Place two fruit boxes on level
ground and pile your trays, the bottoms
of which are covered with cut fruit, on
them, the boxes to be under each end of
the trays. A space of about one foot
should be between the top tray and the
top of the box when it is put down over
the trays. Have tin or sheet-iron pan
about a foot in diameter with rim an
inch high or rather two inches. Put a
handful of fine shavings, or small pieces
of paper crumpled up in. the pan, and
throw about an even double handful of
good sulphur on your paper or shavings.
Light the paper, shove your pan under
the trays and let the box down over the
trays Shove dirt all around the box
where it rests on the ground to keep in
the sulphur fumes. Besure your sulphur
burns. Leave the trays in the box
about ten or fifteen minutes, or even
twenty minutes or more, if you are not
rushed for time. Fifteen minutes is about
the length OF time to sulphur twelve or
fourteen trays of fruit. Have handles on
one end OF your sulphur box, that it may
be easily Ii ted up on one end. Use only
the best sulphur.
After the sulphuring process has been
completed, take the trays to an exposed
place where the sun shines during the en-
! tire day and place them on the ground.
The fruit will dry in two or three days.
Do not allow it to be exposed to the sun
until it has become hard and dry, but re-
move it while it is soft and yielding.
The fruit now being dried you are ready
to dip" it. Procure large kettle and
fill it two-thirds with water. When this
water boils, takea basket or bucket made
