a position to make acomparison between
| Florida summers and those of other sec
tiOns OF the country, and can honestly
assure the people Of Florida that their
State and their summer temperature suff-
ers nothing by the comparison. 1t is I'M
| doubtedly true that the Florida sun
shine is warmer than that of Northern
Mississippi, but her nights are much more
| pleasant and agreeable, and her cool sea
breezes always prevailing) are incom-
parable.
When left DeLandlast week it was UNI
usually cool, the thermometer the previ-
Gus night having gone down to 710, and
| perhaps lower. When | reached Tennes-
see 1 found the mercury at $50 and not q
breath of air to cool our fevered brow
With this great contrast our compari-
son between the State of our adoption
| and the State of our nativity was of ne
| cessity favorable to the latter.
Every where [ have been there is an
erroneous impression prevalent concern
ing the Florida summer weather. A very
usual exclamation is, "If it is this hot
| here, how do you manage to exist q
| thousand miles south of here!" To dis
pei this erroneous impression should be
our constant aim. Without doubt the
| fear Of our ''hot summer months" keeps
many settlers from our State. When We
| once convince the people that the Florida
summers are as comfortable as those in
| other sections of the country, and the
| people live through them, work through
| them and are as happy and as comfor-
table as those of any other section of the
United States one OF the greatest stumb-
ling blocks to the development of Florida
will be removed from the path O. immi-
grafton.
From inquiries and observations made
people are under, estimating the present
crop of oranges. From what | was able
| to see and from information impaired by
those who haveclosely observed the crops
of the State for years, feel safe in pre-
| dieting that the orange crop OF Florida
| this year will be but little less than thatof
last year.
On my way down to Jacksonville met
q rather unusual character-a Volusia
| county negro farmer. He informed me
| that he had no difficulty in making a liv-
! ing for himself, his wife and half dozen
| children from the soil of Volusia county,
and that he found it much easier to make
| both ends meet in VOlusia county than
he did in Madison county-which is noted
| for it's fine farming lands. What an or
binary negro can do, we hold that an
intelligent white man can do equally as
we'll and, perhaps better.
This negro, by the way, told me how
he raised sweet potatoes with great sue
cess. AS q fertilizer he uses only tobacco
stems. These he puts in q furroW be-
| tween the beds which have previously
been made, scattering them along evenly.
When he is ready to put out his Slips he
turns the beds over on the stems making

more wealth to the State than the ham,
mocks or pine lands.
OF course there are different grades of
kinds, and we do not mean to say that
all fat-woods land will be valuable. Flat
woods land that has been properly cleared
and drained furnishes the very best of
farming land, on which large crops of
corn, cane and other products can be
raised. The productions of these farms
can be readily sold within the State, and
thus keep our money at home.
For gardening purposes, thefat-woods
are coming to the front, and even the
prairies thatfrequently abound are show
ing their adaptability for truck raising.
The one item, however, that we expect
some day to see take the lead is the turn
ing of vast tracts of fiat-wOods into past
ures, on which cultivated grasses are
grown and the best grades of stock feed
ing on it.
The Para grass has now been tried long
enough to showits adaptability for these
soils and stock of all kinds are
fond of it. One hundred acres
of fat-woOds could be made to produce
pasture for greater number of cattle
and at less expense than one hundred
acres in the Northern States, and much
greater profit realized. Here it would not
be necessary to house but little fodder
and but very little shelter would be re-
quired for the stock.
Again the very best of crab grass hay
could be made and would find ready sale
at from $50 to $15 per ton. If the
Northern farmer can raise hay and sell it
at from SO to $40 per ton there must
certainly be good profit here at $50 to
$15.
Corn can be produced at a cost of less
than 80 cents per bushel (not counting
the fodder), and as it seldom sells for less
than 81 there is certainly margin enough
in those figures for profit. With corn
growing it is no experiment, for it has
been raised for years, and notsO long ago
the settlers produced all they consumed.
With the advent OF orange culture and
the prospects OF making large sums OF
money in a much easier way the farm
crops were neglected. The North had to
supply all the hay and grain that was
consumed, not only by the new settlers
but in many cases the people that had
lived here for years.
Another crop that the fat-woods will
produce to perfection and with an Ordi-
nary amount Of work is upland rice. We
can see no good reason why this State
should not produce every grain of rice
that is consumed within it's borders,
with some left over for export. There
are hundreds of acres of fat-woods in
VOlueia county and many other counties
of the State that will grow upland rice
with but very little fertilizer and work,
as the crop is made and harvested in
about four months time. 1t could be
planted on the same land that has been
used for gardening truck during the
winter and spring and be harvested in
time to prepare for winter garden.
There are many examples in different
| parts of the State of what can be done
on the flat-woods land, and with the help
