Orange Culture in Foreign Countries.
DIGEST OF CONSULAR REPORTS ON FRUIT
CULTURE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
NUMBER II.
CULTIVATION.

Morocco. THE ground is manfred
and cultivated with a heavy hoe once a
year; cost of cultivation and manuring,
25 cents per tree per annum.
MEXICo.-The ground between trees is
not cultivated, but merely kept free of
underground and weeds.
BAHIA (BraziD The cultivation con-
sists simply in cutting the grass and
weeds that spring up, whenever needed,
which is done with large hoe. In some
groves the ground is seeded with grass,
which is cut when green, after which the
soil is lOosened with the hoe: after which
animal manure is scattered broadcast
through the grove.
ECUADOR.-The trees are not cultiva-
ted, not even cutting down the brush
and weeds with machet.
BERMUDA.-Trees are cultivated but
little.
JAMAICA irrigation is only
practiced to O. limited extent in the plain
OF St. Catherine, and it's application to
orange trees must at present be regarded
as experimental merely. The principal
crop cultivated between orange trees is
guinea grass, butsome OF the bestgrowers
prefer to keep up clean cultivation, the
number of such civilizations and clean
ings being determined by the growth Of
weeds. To keep up clean cultivation
in certain low and moist districts would
require a cleaning every three weeks; but
longer intervals, as of eight or ten weeks,
could be taken in drier portions of theyear
The general practice, however, is to allow
the grass to grow and keep weeds and
shrubby underground cut down by means
of cutlass or bush-knife, which is done
three or four times year. In the grounds
OF the peasantry the whole list of culti-
waited crops in the tropics might be emu
merated as crops cultivated between
orange trees. In such places the
cultivation of the orange tree is as
sociated with the stirring and cleaning OF
the ground necessary for the smaller crop.
TRINIDAD grow without culti-
vatiOn.
SMYRNA working of the soil liscom-
menced at the end ofMarch they dig the
soil with spade to the depth of two or
three inches in the clear spots, and only
one to one and half inches deep in the
vicinity of the trees.
PALEsTINE.-The soil is dug at differ
ent times, but at least twice year, gen.
orally in the spring and autumn.
SYRA.-The grove is plowed either be-
fore or after irrigation.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-11-26
DeLand, Fla, Wednesday. November 26. 1890.

HAFA.-The soil in the groves is thor
oughly worked with broad hoes several
times q year.
SIDAN.-Groves plowed once q year.
TRIPoLI.-In the spring when the
ground gets dry tits plowed to the depth
of five or six inches. This is repeated
three Or four times, i. e. once every eight
or ten days. In summer every eight or
ten days afterirrigation. This alternate
succession of blowing and irrigating oc-
ours between the 18th of June and 18th
of September.
INDA.-The soil is kept clean and open
by plowing or digging with pick, four
inches deep, twice yearly. For the crop
that ripens during February-April water
is withheld and the soil opened up during
April and May. The soil is at the same
time drawn away and the roots exposed
during fifteen to twenty days. At this
timethe greater part of the leaves falloff,
then 100 pounds weight per tree Of old,
moist cow-dung is mixed with the soil
and the roots covered up and watered
heavily, if rain does not fall soon; this
causes the trees to burst into bloom and
fresh leaves; thereafter the soil is kept
moist till the fruits gathered. The same
operation carried on in December brings
ripe fruit during December and February
following.
CoRsICA.-Both the orange and lemon
trees require much attention if they are
to yield abundant fruit every year. If
planted on ground exposed to the north
wind, they must be sheltered by triple
rows of the pyramidal cyprus or the Eu-
calyptus globulus. Twice a year, in
spring and autumn, the ground at the
foot of the tree is dug up, and in Septem-
Der and October, or in February and
March, we'll manured with all kinds of
manure, according to the season; general
ly, before winter, vegetable manure, more
or less decomposed, and the refuse of
farms is used.
MENToNE.-Groves plowed twice ayear.
MEssINA.-Vegetables are planted be-
tween the rows until the trees are large
enough to shade the ground. Young
trees are in consequence workedsix times
year. When the trees have attained
their full growth they are worked but
seldom.
The first working of a full-grown grove
takes place in October or November, af-
ter the autumnal rains have made irriga-
tion unnecessary. A grubbing hoe is
used to stir the soil, cover the weeds, and
draw away the earth from the foot Of
trees. The second working is in March
when the earth is thrown back to thefoot
OF the trees. The third working is in
April, after which the land is trenched
and basin is made around each tree.
PALERMo.-It is customary during the

A Young Girls Experience With Bees.

Editor Florida A AgricuHurist:
From among the papers written by the
pupils of the Volusia county public
schools ''upon Florida or some topic re-
lating to Florida, hand you one for
place in the AGRICULTURIsT.
1t is proper for me to say that Miss
CIinton's school advantages have been
very limited, but her concise paper art
lessly reveals a patient industry, perse-
verance and efficiency that makes it
beautiful object lesson for her sisters all
over the country.

THE BEE INDUSTRY OF FLORIDA.
The bee industry isreceiving considera-
BILE attention in the southern portion of
the State, and from my experience and
observation am inclined to think that it
is admirably suited to our State.
Two years ago | commenced the busi-
ness with six colonies of bees, and the
same year increased my stock to fifty
stands. This year commenced operations
with sixty seven colonies and have ex-
tracted twenty-five, forty gallon barrels
$3.50 gallons) and increased by stock to
eighty eight colonies.
Willow flowers, saw palmetto, bas
wood, mangrOve, sunfowers, cabbage
palmetto, saw palmetto berries, white
and blue flag, paint root, red and sweet
bay, golden rod, grape vine and many
other plants and flowers furnish honey,
or "wax bread" for the bees.

A GRAND SCHEME.


About eighteen months ago there
was organized a plan of work that,
when carried out, would employ
hundreds of men and women and
cover a vast field of territory. Il
was the organizing of the Souther ,
branch of the National Garment
Cutter Company's business. The
general manager of this great COM
pany decided to put the cutter into
general use in the Southern States.
Being a native of East Tennessee,
he was we'll acquainted with the
people and country. The first step
taken was to send workers to Knox
vile, general headquarters for the
South, designing to send men from
there into all parts of the Southern
States and work the entire country.
In order to do this a large force had
to be organized, equipped and drill
ed. A few men came from the
North and began work. These were
experienced, well trained men, able
to teach and properly organize; but
these men were too few in numbers
to accomplish so great work. This
made a want in the work that must
be supplied from some source. The
manager intended supplying this
want from native talent, knowing
that good workers could be obtain
ed in this country. There was a
school organized in Knoxville at
first, which was very successful,
having "a attendance Of probably a
thousand pupils. The press Of the
country began speaking OF the work,
and the people who had taken in
structions were loud in the praise OF
the cutter, and, as . result, the
fame Of this wonderful invention
spread all over the land.
Large forces were employed to 20
into the various States and counties
to teach the work, giving employ
ment to many that needed work and
teaching thousands Of people a
knowledge that is worth to them
many times more than the cost.
The success of the enterprise has
been phenomenal, we might say,
unparalleled.
But the success is constantly OF
the increase, and right here in our
own community dozens of our peo-
pie are going into the work as a
business, and some OF these people
are among the shrewdest business
men of the place.
The next part of this vast pro-
gramme is TO send hundreds OF
workers through the cotton belt just
as soon as the crop begins to move
and thoroughly organize the work
in these States.
The plan was vast one and re-
quired courage and pluck TO under.
take it, but our Tennesseeans are
not deficient in this qualification,
and Mr.. Doran, the manager, has
shown himself equal to the emergen'
cy.
Many Of our people leave for then
fields in q short time, and others
will soon follow. The best wishe:
of the Comet go with them. =
