Myrica Rubra

This is a comparatively newly discov
cred japanese evergreen. 1t is a fruit
tree, producing q highly favored, edible
fruit, an inch inlength and three-quarters
of an inch in diameter, and in shape re-
sembling blackberry. 1t is firm, and
contains single seed of light weight.
The fruit is dark red, almost black, but
there is also light rose colored variety,
than that of the one first mentioned, al
though it is not quite so large. The fruit
ripens in Japan in the early part OF July,
and can be used for many purposes. 1t
is now used as dessert, and is sometimes
preserved. The extracted juice can be
used as beverage in it's fresh state, and by
slight fermentation produces a delicious
wine. The foliage resembles that of a
small-leaved evergreen magnolia, and is
firm and leathery. The treeis ornament
al, and it's bark can be used to make a
dye of a beautiful fawn color. 1t is not a
very hardy tree, but will succeed well in a
climate where the Fahrenhite thermom
ter does not fall below 2O0, and where the
summer is sufficiently hot.
l think it would thrive in the southern
part of California, in all the Southern
States of the United States. in Central
America, Mexico, Italy, Spain and the
southern part Of France. 1t is question
able whether itwould succeed in, England,
Germany, and in the Northern States of
America; certainly not without very
adequate protection during the winter.
The propagation of Myrica rubra will
be best accomplished through it's seed,
as the wood is too hard for cuttings.
The growth of the tree is rather slow,
but if planted extensively will pay we'll
in time, as the trees not only will pro-
duce delicious fruit in abundance, but
will yield also fine bark, which can be
used for dyeing purposes, and a splendid
timber showing a notified grain better
than the best maple. The wood is light,
tough and lasting, and is now used in
Japan for fine cabinet work.
The seed should be sownin light, loamy
soil, and placed on. bottom heat, if OBJ
tainable. The seed should be shaded
with boards if possible, otherwise with
thick mulching Of straw or other vegeta-
BILE matter about foot deep. Seeds
must not be exposed to the suns rays or
to too much light.
Plants are at present very scarce, as
the japanese have not sufficiently appre-
ciated the beauties of this tree to proper
ly propagate it, but seeds can be collect

the Gafford place, was highly appreciated
on Saturday.
Mr. Leadbetter is from Kansas and has
been in this state about year. He is a
progressive farmer and evidently under
stands his business.
Last spring." he said 81 planted one
barrel of Irish seed potatoes on one-quar-
ter acre Of ground and fromitI sold TWEEN
ty bushels ofpotatoes at ST. 80 per bushel
In Kansas would have got only 25cents
per bushel. The twenty bushels that
sold were over and above what saved
for seed, what we ate in the family and
fed to the hogs. In the fall planted the
seed had saved, and i'll spite of the
drouth ! got as good q crop from the
same area OfgrOund as did in the spring.
This spring I have two acres in Irish po-
tatoes and inspite ofthe recent freeze and
the lack Of rain they are growing hand
somely and bid fair to yield very much
better crop than could possibly make
in Kansas. My potato patch is as fiat
as the yard in front Of yourdoOr. 1t isn't
ridged up so as to lose all the moisture.
"With such scarcity of rain as wehave
had in Florida during the past six months
every thing would have dried up in Kan
sas, but here the earth is always moist.
Go out to my farm any time in the dryest
l. Il + 1, oh, lob
up handful OF the sand, squeeze it and
when you unfold your hand you find a
lump ofmoist earth. have nearly come
to the conclusion that we can raise crops
almost without rain"
Speaking of the castor oil bean he said l.:
81 am quite sure that could be made a
paying cropin this country, especially if
there was an oil mill at some convenient
point. 1t is one Of the best paying crops
on the farm and is the least trouble to
raise In Kansas | made 500 in one
season from twenty acres OF castor beans
and then was not able to gather the
whole crop before the frost killed the
plants in the fall One-half bushel OF
beans will plant twenty acres. Plant two
or three beans in hill and place the hills
four feet apart each way. Cultivate
about the same as corn. Thin out the
stalks, when young, to one plant in hill
and let that be the most thrifty one. The
plants will soon grow up and shade the
ground thus stopping the growth OF
weeds. Very little hoeing is required.
When the seeds ripen drive your team
through the field straddle ofevery fourth
or fifth row, break off the ripe punches OF
pods from the rows of plants on either
side and throw them into the wagon.
When the pods have been properly dried
in the sun they will crack and by the use
OF q fail the beans can be easily separated
from them. After thrashing out the
beans rake off the pods, gather up the
beans and winnow them out some day
when the wind blows strong. They are
then ready for the market.
F'The castor bean grows better in Flor
ida," he continued, without any cult
walton whatever than it does in Kansas
with the most careful cultivation. The
quality Of the bean is very much superior
to the Kansas bean.
