Extra Normal Facilities Needed.

Prof. kiehle, of the department of public
instruction, returned yesterday from a tour
Of inspection of the normal schools of
Winona and Mankato. He was accompanied
on his tour by the now resident members of
the normal board. The result of their in
spect:on is that the schools are taxed to their
utmost capacity, and extra facilities are
needed. The schools are well managed, but
the staff of teachers is inadequate Next
week the schools of st. Cloud and Moorhead
will be visited, and the board will then pre-
pare its report for the legislature, and re-
quest that an appropriation be made. -

A Short Chat on Wild Grasses.

Mr. L. d. Jackson, of DeLand, has left
for Identification at our office three spec
linens of wild grass which he says grows
finely in Florida, produces heavily and
is greatly relished by stock. One OF the
specimens Mr.. Jackson considers of es-
pecial value as it is a rank and rapid
growth, tender and juicy, grows to a
height of sixteen or eighteen inches, is
greatly relished by stock and would I'M
doubtedly make fine hay. We are unac-
quainted with it's botanical cognomen,
but it's provincial name is ''fOX grass.
1t grows in many places in the Southern
States, and, as Mr.. Jackson says, is really
a valuable grass for grazing, and is
sometimes, in the absence Of something
better, made into hay. For this pur
pose, however, although producing heav-
Ter, it is not SO good as crab grass. 1t
grows unfortunately on high or low
land, but does best where the soil is moist
and contains some clay.
One of the other specimens is an entire
stranger to us, and from it's appearance
we do not think it worthy of attention.
The other specimen, however, is I'M
doubtedly valuable. 1t is the paspalum
platycaule, locally known as Louisiana
grass, carpet grass, etc. (See AGR1cULT-
UR1sT XVII page 331). Prof. STEELE, one
of the most thorough agricultural writ
ers in the South, says it will be boon
to the country, and that it is perhaps
the most valuable of our wild grasses.
The grass grows fiat on the ground, root
ing at every joint, and forming a thick,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-06-18

permanent evergreen sod. 1t does well
better than Bermuda. AS arule itgrows
too short and close to the ground for
hay, but forgrazing ithas but few equals.
1t may be distinguished from other pas
palums and from Bermuda grass by it's
fattened stems, and slender seed stems,
each bearing only two or three narrow,
somewhat upright spikes.
Speaking of this grass DR.. George
Massey says that the fact of it's being a
perennial, and seeding to some extent, of
it's doing better than any other grasses
on poor SOIL forming a compact tuft to
the exclusion of other plants, and of it's
being easily killed by cultivation, will
doubtless recommend it for more extend
ed growth.
Mr.. Albert Webster, a rising young bot
anist of Lake Helen, says hehas seen this
grass grow in great profusion on the gulf
coast Of Florida and is going to attempt
it's cultivation in this section.
He also says that he has succeeded in
transplanting the paspalum distichum
Goint grass from the marshes OF the
coast to the high pine land, and that it
grows finely, withstood the recent drouth
and is evidently valuable forage for
either the low or high lands Of Florida.
Ifthose of our farmers who have beggar
weed seed for sale would let the fact
be known we have no hesitancy in saying
that they could dispose Of an al
most unlimited quantity, as we get num-
erous inquiries concerning it. By let
ting the fact be known they would not
only be doing good stroke OF business
but also accommodate a larger number of
orange growers, especially in this section

Our Note Sheet Department.

We are pleased to say that the interest
shown in our Note Sheet Communication
Department has greatly exceeded our ex-
pectations. Our readers appear to appre-
ciate theimportance of receiving and Civ
ing information in a compact form. One
old subscriber writes that the Mote
Sheet Department is a veritable encyclo-
pndia of Florida information, Governing
nearly every subject of interest to the
gardener, fruit grower and farmer, and
each paper containing batch OF these
little gems is worth more to the average
Floridian than the subscription price OF
the paper for an entire year"
OF course it is gratifying to know that
our efforts to present to our readers the
best and most practical ideas of our peo-
pie in concise form, is appreciated, yet
we are fully aware of the fact that to the
editor is due only small per cent. of the
credit-the thanks should go to those
who have aided in the good work with
their contributions, and we feel sure they
will not hesitate to continue the good
work of enlightening their cO-laborers by
sending in more of the '1ittle gems" each
month.
For the benefit OF those who may have
overlooked the conditions of the note
sheet contest, we herewith reprint the
same.
We offer a first prize of $3 to the per-
son sending in the best communication

Effects of Lime in the Soil.

During the last session of the HOrticul-
tural Society the subject of the applica-
tion of lime to the soil was discussed in
extenso. There was great diversity Of
opinion on the subject; some of the mem
bers claiming that it was beneficial to
new soil, others that it was indispensable,
while others held that it was of no value
whatever, and Mr.. Phelps went so far as
to say that it was not an antacid and
was not only useless, but detrimental, as
it dispelled one of our most valuable ele-
ments-mOisture.
On this subject Mr.. Alfred Drieberg has
an interesting article in the April number
of the Tropical Agriculturist OF Colon
DO, Ceylon. In summing up at the con-
clusion hegives the following as the effect
of lime on soils.
1. 1t acts with felspar or clay, setting
free potash or other alkalies.
2. 1t acts on vegetable matter, setting
free ammonia, water, nitric acid and car
bon diOxide (Which it unites with) tend
ing to destroy excess of humus in the
soil.
3. Neutralizes organic acids-humic,
ulmic, geic, etc.-thus sweetening the
s oil.
4. Takes up nitric acid as formed by
the nitrifying bacteria.
5. 1t is a plant food itself.
6. Renders harmless injurious salts of
copper, iron, etc.
7. Opensup clay soilfrom the "curdling''
effect it has on the molecules of that sub
stance.
Soils which contain more than 4 per
cent. of lime (corbonate) should not be
treated with lime.
From the above, if correct, it will be
seen that Mr.. Phelps was pretty nearly
correct in his conclusions. II the effect of
lime on the soil is to destroy an excess
OF humus in the soil" certainly we have
no need of it on our pine ridges. The
same can be said of it in reference to wa
ter or moisture.

For The FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
The Yucatan, or Stingless Bee.

The Yucatan, or Stingless Bee.
1t may not begenerally known by those
who have been stung by the common
black honey bee, or the still more dam
gerous Italian, that in the State of Yucca
tan and in some other of the Central
American States there is honey gather
ing bee that has no sting and yet will Sc
cure to their owners as large an amount
of honey as the singing bee.
My father sent in 1885 three of these
hives to Indian Key and two to Key
West, which were lost when they swarmed.
At Indian Key one hive remained when
we reached there in 1888. Two Of them
in swarming had steered for the main
land and were lost.
Their cells, as ] remember them, were
entirely unlike the common bee, being an
octagon about as large as common
marble and containing about a teaspoon
full of pure clear honey. Their hives were
in hollow logs; the color of the wax
dark brown. At one time (when fagof
truce was fying) the Indians reported to
the officers at Fort Dallas, on the Miami,
they had found bee that did not sting.
1t is possible that some of our pioneers
may have found trees of such honey and
been afraid to make use of them, from the
entirely different appearance of the comb
and honey. They are worth seeking for,
and if found will add but another to the
list of Florida's strange and wonderful
productions.
He also sent hive to Peale's Museum,
in New York. Peale kept them for long
time, feeding them upon sweetened water
and amusing himself with the consterna-
ton of his visitors in seeing bees flying
around the museum. These finally sue
cumbed to the cold, as did hive sent by
my father to the Department garden in
Washington.
My object in sending you this commu-
nication is to learn if any one has discov-
cred the stingless bee in South Florida.

Wanted.

Editor Florida A gricu1turist;
desire to say that the two articles [
have written for your paper have brought
more letters OF inquiry than any letters [
have written to any other paper in the
country. believe that it is good test
as to the efficiency OF a paper as an ad-
vertising medium, and / think it but just
and fair that should give you the credit
you deserve.
Now, I want YOU to do me favor:
Among the numerous letters Ireceived in
response to the article l wrote was one
inclosing a dollar and asking me to send
him some Para grass for seed. put it
up ready to send, but the letter he wrote
me was lost or mislaid and | cannot re-
member his name or address, and hope
he will read this article and again send
me his name and address and thereby
save me from the appearance of keeping
his money and giving him nothing in re-
turn.
| am more than ever pleased with the
Para grass. The acre have l am salts
fled will supply ample pasturage for four
COWS. | have two on it now, and | turn
four horses and mules on it Sundays, and
they are not eating it near fast enough.
Speaking of figs and the root-knot,
am now experimenting with them by put
ting ashes around the tree. OF course 1
cannot yet tell what the result will be,
but am informed that this is the reme-
dy used in Italy. A. P. K. Stafford.
