Lettuce in the South.

1t has always been a matter of wonder
to us why our people did not devote more
attention to the culture of lettuce in
Florida. 1t is vegetable that with
proper care can be grown at any time of
the year. Besides producing what the
family would consume, in nearly every
section Of the State quite revenue could
be derived from the sale Of it in the
nearby towns.
We clip the following article from the
American Agriculturist, which is applic-
able to the latitude of Georgia. In Flor
ida the conditions are much more favor
able, and the cold frames are rarely if
ever necessary.
When The best varieties are used for
planting; and the crop is grown on rich
land, and crisp white heads are ready
for the table very early in the spring,
crop of lettuce represents altogether a
different thing than that resulting from
the use Of the inferior kinds that make
a scraggling growth to maturity on poor

terated with cabbage stalks and turnips,
to which is added some chemical sub
stance to give it the hot taste of the GEN
uine article, This renders the cultiva-
tion of horsera dish by amateurs, who
want the proper article more desirable
than ever. It is propagated by cutting
roots into sections of about an inch in
length, and planting these pieces where
it is desirable to have plantation made.
One very good method is to make hole
witha crowbar and drop the pieces of
root into the hole, so that it is foot or
so beneath the Surface-the new growth
never has any difficulty in finding it's
way to the surface and that new
growth is what makes the future root
One has then clean, straight root when
ready for use, which is much preferable
for culinary purposes to the stumpy
looking affairs sometimes seen in mar
kets. The soil cannot be too rich for
this getable-and if damp and cool so
much the better.

Advice to Planters.

The Time Union has been shown cop
les e letters written by Messrs. Dan
Talmage's Sons Ct New York to planter
friends in the South and it takes there
from certain extracts which are Of gen.
eral interest and worthy of the consider
alton of every rice planter. In fact the
principle holds and is capable of applica
ton, whether the product be cotton,
Sugar, rice, or any crop which the pro-
ducer makes to sell. Their Indictment
of the planters mad scramble to sell last
fall is just. They undoubtedly would
cOncede that the first in the market did
we'll and only speak of the matter in a
general way-that is to say, while one or
the exceptional man profted, the many,
(namely ninety and nine out Of 1907 suf-
fered from the policy pursued.
Everyone who has the rice industry at
heart desires that the producer shall not
only get fair but good returns for time,
labor and money expended and can but
lament the depression of prices during
the past year. Planters are apt to blame
every other man, forgetting that each
may have contributed by his action to
the resulting low prices. For instance,
take last year When the crop opened
everybody wanted to sell and, as a result,
fully twice as much as the market could
take was showed into New Orleans last
September. Shipments were continued
a an excessive ratio throughout the sea-

Preparing Tobacco for Manufa cture

In an article in Florida on this years

says:
The largest and finest crop ever grown
in Florida is now safely housed in man.
moth new barns some 100 to 800 feet in
length, 30 feet wide and 90 feet high to
the ewes. The colors have never been so
bright and beautiful, but how shall it be
handled, packed, sweated and marketed
are serious questions to the new growers
of cigar leaf. There should be uniform
ity as we'll as great care in the method of
preparing Florida leaf for the market.
We must counsel together and devise
economical methods to sweat and pre-
pare tho crop for the manufacturer, for
stand this process, and raw or unsweateG
tobacco to him is something like raw
hide in the hands of shoemakers and
harnessmakers. But if a fairly good

six to nine months it may only need the
''recasing" that the manufacturer must
give it before putting it into cigars.
This rule will hold good with all fine.

many are, will be ready for use in sixty
days after stripping and packing down.
The heavier grades will generally need

dampening it and leave in close, warm
room for sixty to seventy days, when it
will be ready for use.

son and, as a result of this constant pres
sure, the market steadily declined. 1t
simply followed the we'll known law per-
tanning to supply and demand. Over
supply makes low range of value.
Better prices are now being obtained
and we believe there can be further
raising of values; bnt it can only be done
by a spirit of cooperation. There are
consumers for every sack of, rice raised
this year. What is to be done? Feed
the demand; that is, ship in proportions
to meet the rpquirments of the market.
There is no question but that the losses
by drOuth in Louisiana and cyclones
on the Atlantic Coast will favor much
higher range Of values than last year
and rebound to the benefit of those who
have been fortunate in making crop.
Whatever the normal value may be, we
would urge upon planters the wisdom Of
elaboration in the disposition of their
product, and you and your planter friends
can serve the crop in general and per-
haps advance your own interests by ship
ping in monthly installments, thus pre-
venting over-supply at any given time
BY this course the highest average of
values is more likely to be secured.
We believe that the advice given is
sound and, if acted on, will secure de-
sired results. Some might say "hold
back the crop" This, however, would
probably defeat the object. Values
might be nnduly enhanced, but, as
everyone would then naturally desire to
sell, there would be haste to realize, thus
causing a swift reaction and a terrible
downfall in prices, approximating or
similar to those Of last year. What is
wanted is wise, concerted, conservative
action, and the course suggested is ma
tural and practical, namely, feed the de-
mand market with deliberate ship in
monthly installments- Times Union.

Planting and Cultivating in Timber.

Planting and CultlVatlng IN IlmOer.
noticed your editors commentson my
article on "Orange Trees on Timbered
Lands" think in former number of
the AGRICULTURIST | gave my idea or
mode of planting in timbered land, but
it will do no harm to make the statement
again as a special article.
On rich hammock land I would la off
the ground in triangle shape. so as to
have the trees just forty feet apart every
way, then prepare a space six feet in
diameter for place to set each tree. [
would grub out all the roots and mellow
the ground up well, and ifany large trees
stood near | would dig down close to the
tree and if I found large roots I would
cut them off on the side nearest to the
orange tree thus preventing them from
robhing the orange tree of fertilizer.
If it was pine timbpred land then
would lay it off in squares forty feet
apart and leave all timber unless it came
in the radius OfSix feet from the tree. I
would prepare as in hammock place for
each tree and all trees that came within
ten feet would serve as did the large
trees in the hammock-Gig down ard cut
all roots on the side nearest to the or
ange tree. Served i'm this way these trees
will never put out roots again on that
side.
| would never pillow the pine land at
all but fat-weed the surface and use
weeds, grass and pine straw as mElching
| would stir ground around each tree
once month while young and until
bearing. Then | should fertilize using
such quality as the nature Of the soil re-
quired, but would still mulch heavily
and stir the soil around the trees with 4
hoe or garden rake often enough to keep
the surface roots from penetrating into
the mulching.
The expense would not be near as
great to make grove in this way and
believe fully as effective as the plans now
followed.
Some would suggest fire in the mulch
ing, but if fire guard was made all
around the outside and all dead wood
taken out of tract set and all litter kept
away from the roots Of standing timber
the chance OF fire would be small because
in spring and summer all stuff on the land
is green and will not burn. AS fall APP
proaches and pine leaves fall, cut and
rake again and use as mulching and there
is not much danger of fire.
| think a grove raised so would need
but little irrigation and that in n very
dry time if at all. If in time it was
found that the timber was too thick then
thin some out. II. J. nj. PORTER.

begins to wane. To make lettuce grow
ing profitable and satisfactory, it must
be made to produce large, crisp heads,

The market gardener Sows the seed in
the cold frames in October and secures

out early in January, in this latitude.

as it should be, and large well rooted
plants set out early in January or earlier

there is little money in this late crop, and

rewards than those that will come to
them who are able to set forth the imper-
