sired. What food for man, beast and
fowl do you grow that you can say so
much of, Mr.. Farmer? The roots attain
a length of six or eight feet and the di-
ameter of a mans body. That it was as
tender and nutritious at this large size as
when first old enough to use. There is
one fact that gives cassava an important
position, says he, as candidate for our
care and experience, viz: that it is crop
that is neither made or passes into waste
during any one annual cycle. During
disastrous year, when we suffer a general
failure of other products, if we have sue
ceeded with cassava we have always
something to resort to that will sustain
human and animal life. This consider
tion alone is worth all the care and pa
tience required to test the possibilities Of
cassava for our state. Will you try it?

We have found that our efficient and
pleasant state chemist, DR.. Norman Robin
SON, is perfect laboratory of farm knowl.
edge. Recently he made several assays Of
soil that we took from our farm and gave
US knowledge that we highly appreciate.
He is firm believer in intelligent crop
experiments and we agree with him most
heartily and urge again, as we have often
done before, for all Of our farmers to be-
come their OF chemists. It. 10 q pretty

"Pm dun gwine to put in five acres dis
year." Use gwine to trow my whole weight
on free acres next season." Darn the
cotton, Use a notion to put the whole 40
acres in 'baccer" Such are the state
ments we hear each week from the mou this
OF the newly-6edged tobacco grower.
What downright foolishness and injury this
will be to the grower who wants tobacco
to have reputation in Florida. Think of
the idea of person putting IN FIVE acres of
tobacco when he only has one or two old,
shake-down log cribs to hang it in. Next
fail he will have shapeless mass of pole
sweated, colorless stuff to sell and make
great to do because he does not get the top
of the market for his conglomerated mass.
"Only the white.winged angel of peace
who keeps the books of prophecy on high"
can tell what will become of this class of
growers, financially.

The Florida State Horticultural society
has always looked to US as if it were Me-

question of doubt. Under the present
system it should be named the South Flor

blame is another question of which we
shall have more TO say in future issues.

ciety to the Pathological society and not q

intention to have both of the latter por-
tons of the state largely represented by

exist and we want them to "show their

Tree planting time is at hand again and
we want to urge all of our farm subscribers,
no matter whether they live in Florida or
Montana, to plant more fruit trees, not for
their own satisfaction particularly but for
those that are coming after them. There
are too many fine farms with rich soil and
rich men as their owners, with little or no
fruit growing thereon. Certainly these
farmers are overlooking the comforts aRd
pleasures of Others.
Nothing makes the home more attractive
than well-trimmed, healthy looking lot
of apple, peach, pear and plum trees.
The class Of trees we have planted out
will be ornamental to the farm. Fruit is
healthy and there is not half enough Of it
eaten by the farming community. taking
the different states over. While it Is
profitable, much more 80 than working
early and late to raise cotton that only
brings from 6 to 8 cents q pound.
If this article induces you to plant few
trees place them in good soil. Too much
money has been spent 10 attempts to grow
first class fruit on red or yellow clay knobs.
IF an elevation, facing to the south is to
be had there is the place for all of
the varieties of trees we have named.
Break up deep and harrow thoroughly. and
if you have the manure to spare add some
more at planting time, no matter if you do
think the land is rich. Set the early vari
cites near the house where the wife can
watch them. The boys have weakness
for early fruit, no matter if it is on the
green order. The reason why we urge
late fall planting is because tree set in
the spring oftimes grows very vigorously
until the heated term sets in, and then it
lags, just at the time it ought to be grow
ing the most.
Patronize your home nurserymen if pos
sibIe. Generally speaking, they are the
most reliable.

Evergreens, magnolia, pine, cedar, hem

not shed until spring. Some earlier, some

Onions.

Onions.
To the Editor Of the FLoRDAN:
In referring to the $50, prize offered by
the Florida Agricultural on onions you
say that $50, is not to be sneezed at these
Mckinley times" True as truth. Refer
ence to Mckinley infconnection with this
onion business is eminently appropriate.
The present boom In the onion industry in
Florida, and consequently the offer Of this
prize, are the direct result Of the Mckinley
bill which taxes the onion growers OF
Bermuda, Spain, Cuba, Egypt. etc., forty
cents per bushel for the privilege Of our
market.
Every bushel ofthese foreign onions that
we thus shut out makes room for q bushel
of onions from Florida
This tax OF forty cents per bushel gives
us an advantage Of so much over our
foreign competitors and our people are
taking advantage Of it.
Thus if compete for this prize and
grow 200 bushels Of onions and win get
$50 That is premium" and mot to be
sneezed at" Then have eco bushels of
onions protected 4Oc., per busheI makes
$780, That is McKinleyism. That is mot
to be sneezed at" If2OO bushels fail to take
the prize? What then? Still leave 200
bushels of onions on which the $50
"McK inleyism" is sure thing sin these
