ssWe Must Get Better AeQuainted.''
Our article on the above subject and the
reference to the Florida State Horticultural
Society, has received hearty Endorsement
by President Adams Of our society and by
Secretary Hart.
Those not members have written us let
lers highly approving ofthe suggestions we
have made and have commenced a CORES
pondence in reference to exchanging scions
seeds and bulbs. So the good work goes
Cd.
We ask our friends not to be backward
We do not intend to be, in the matter of
testing what each OF us are growing II
should be our aim TO know from actual
tests whether certain plants now growing
near Pensacola will do we'll at Tampa,
whether the LeConte pear of this section
will do we'll in the vicinity ofthe Everglades
and so on. We give these illustrations
merely to show the IDEAS we wish to see
carried out

Perlls of Modern Life.

Contacts with electric wires, railroad
accidents, broken car and elevator cables,
explosions Of steam, natural gas and chem
icals, poisons in adulterated food and drink
are few but all these dangers combined
do not kill as rapidly as slow and sure
Consumption. The death rate, however,
from Consumption, is being yearly cut
down since DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y,
has given to the world his celebrated
Golden Medical Discovery" cure for
Consumption and Throat and Lung troubles
that lead to Consumption, if taken in time
and given fair trial. The time TO cure
Consumption (Which is really nothing
more nor less than Lung scrofuls), is in the
first stages. A cough generally sounds the
alarm, and you should take the "Discov-
cry" at once. There is a time when it is

Another way is to increase the m ember
ship OF the State Horticultural Society. 1t
is voluntary and mutual organization to
which any person is eligible who may feel
an interest in the advancement of horticul
ture. Our annual meetings are not ex-
elusive in their character but are open and
free to professionals, amateurs and all
others interested in any way, shape or
form in horticulture. In fact it is a truly
missionary institution, going from place
to place, doing the greatest good to the
greatest number
We want our horticultural friends in
each county in Middle Florida who will
join the society and attend its next meet
ing to send US their names and postoffice
addresses without delay and We will do our
utmost to have Middle Florida creditably
represented at the next annual meeting.
When the names are sent give US a letter
telling how horticulture is progressing in
the county the writer halls from. Will YOU
do it?

About the only way we know of to
stop grumbling on Florida farm is for
the next legislature to enact law giving
every farmer, who has a mortgage hang
ing over him like death pail, permission
to draw on the state treasury until the
aforesaid mortgage is wiped out, then
make any one so benefited take an iron
clad oath never to mortgage again.

the reader is left iii no doubt as to its
correctness. The showing proves that
sugar and starch amount to 26.5per cent,
which is unusually large.
We have commenced early on cassava
in order that our readers may become
posted, and have plenty of time to send
for cuttings for next springs planting.
Like tobacco growing. we advise them to
commence only on a small scale. We had

aim and purpose TO make our Florida farm readers
more thoroughly acquainted with this plant and
to induce them to plant the same next spring.
ITS ORIGIN.
Columbus, the discoverer of the land of
the free and the home Of the brave,
tells lis for the first time about
cassava When he landed on our IN
titled shores away back in 1892 the first
thing he received from the hands Of the un-
dressed natives, in the shape Of something
to eat has a bread they called cassava
Behind his discovery, we have no knowl-
edge, bu, we are positive and emphatic that
plant, no matter by what name it may be
called that will furnish the farmers fam
lily with most excellent pudding for
dessert then enable the good housewife
to make the best of starch at any time on
her kitchen stove, and the farmer with
his spade to go forth and dig the roofs
for his horses, cows. oxen, hogs. chickens
and turkeys, is a good thing in any fam
lily and profitable to grow for all stock.
As we said before we will point out to
the farmer how, when and where to cult
vate it.
Forty years ago missionaries from
Africa returned to this country and were
loud in their praise Of cassava as an arti-
Gle Of food. There they consider it a
great waste to use the first year, but
after that time dig at will
In many places in Florida its practical
value to the farmer is a question to be
determined by general experiments
by the farmer. To give the farmer the
general ideas connected with its produc-
ton is the sole object of these articles.
We feel confident that if our growers
would take more interest in the propaga
ton of cassava and give corn little rest. |
they would be better off than they now |
are and at the same time enable them to |
have a food for man and beast that has |
no superior.
We have given this plant considerable |
study-have read what authors. almost |
without number, say of it, and as vet |
have found it without enemies, all of |
which leads us to believe that it has great |
merits. 1t is our intention before we are |
through these articles to make the reader |
know that the day is not far distant when |
they vii recognize it as more indispens- |
able than any other food crop.
