as | thought [ did before [ began. What
benefit is it to one not verse1 in agricult-
ural chemistry to puzzle his brain over
the question of which is best, sulphate,
muriate or carbonate of potash? What
do we care il it is protoxide, dentoxide or
simple nitrogen? Sulphate, nitrate or
carbonate OF ammonia? Whether the
phosphoric acid comes from rock phos-
phate or old bones? The vital question
is: What is the worth of a fertilizer for
our orange trees or vegetables? What
proper ton is available? OF what value
is the sworn statement of the manufact-
urer or the certificate of the Inspector to
the purchaser, unless he can arrive at the
manurial value of the articles composing
it? If it is not in accordance with the du-
ties of the Inspector will some one who is
good authority voluntarily furnish q
price list of the different chemicals men,
toned in the several kinds of standard
fertilizer in our market?

in the cultivation of cane, have done SO
without any knowledge of the subject
and fthey havefailed they have attribut
ed their failures to thecountry and not to
the proper cause, their ignorance. Unjust
be remembered that there are about
eighty known varieties of cane, some OF
which are almost worthless as regards
sugar qualities but good for syrup just
as there are varieties of beets, some OF
which will produce sugar and some will
not 1t seems as if most of the people
here had gotten hold of just such varie-
ties of cane as would give the least re-
turns in sugar, and failingin the attempt
to make sugar have pronounced Florida
unadapted for the production of sugar,
which is absolutely untrue.
great many people in this Immediate
neighborhood are totally ignorant 9th
existence of this mill, and visitors are as
founded with it's proportions and are
still more surprised to know that sugar
is made here and that it's quality is as
good as can be produced anywhere.
The best weekly reports Of the season
have shown 1914 pounds OF sugar per ton
of cane, and COLA pounds per acre, and
2O6 pounds per ton and 1858 tons per
acre. If this itself does not convince a
man of the fertility and proper climatic
conditions of the country, then that man
is not for conviction. Even visitto this
mill will allay all prejudice or doubt. 1t
every acre of muck land in this State will
produce it's thirty tons or more, and
Florida will rank among the first OF the
sugar producing countries OF the world.
There are many reasons why Florida is
adapted to cane, first and foremost is the
climatic influences; second, the remark
able fertility of the land and it's numer-
Gus and ready means of transportation
in all sections of the country; heclimatiC
and productiveness OF the land are really
the only essential points in the successful
cultivation of cane and reproduction OF
sugar therefrom.
This is the only factory in the State
that buys cane and manufactures sugar
but there is a great deal of land in easy
distance of this factory that will give a
magnificent field and handsome remun-
GRAFTON to both agriculturist and manu-
facturer.
The mill is situated on canal which
connects two large lakes, surrounded by
rich lands, some Of which is already in
cane, and is transported here in barges
by small steamers plying on the lakes, SO
we see that even this one section with it's
one factory offers many advantages. Mr..
Tilley and others interested will probably
gather some information from an article
which will appear in the next 'Immigra-
ton Bulletin" about February LIST, which
fully sets forth Florida as a sugar pro-
