A Land of Sugar.
Baltimore SUM-

Captain r. Z. Rose. of Kissimmee. Fla, q
man of extensive and practical experience.
recently read paper before the State Bank
ers' Association, in which he went carefully
over the subject of sugar-growing in Florida,
which he regards as "a land of sugar" lie
says the reclaimed lands in the southern por-
ton of Florida produce an immense yield Of
sugar cane, as does the rich hammock also,
while good pine land, properly cult
waited and fertilized. though not giving
the same amount of juice, compen-
safes for the decrease by an increased
density in the fluid. comparison of the
cost of its cultivation with the cost of cultiva-
ton in Louisiana and Cuba shows largely in
favor of Florida. While South Florida is par
ticularly adapted TO the growth of this valu-
able product, says Captain Rose. there is
hard a county in the State where it cannot
be a with profit. and it is the opinion Of
Clau ,,reckels that with proper cultivation
the yield should be equal 10 that of any other
country on the face of the globe"
