For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Work for April.

The VAIN weather for the past few
cold winter has ended, and that there is
now some chance for la spring crop.
Quotations for beans, tomatoes and egg
plants have been high but there has
only been limited supply. The cab
bage market seems to rule low in price
owing to the poor quality of the mate
rial. Cabbage heads that appearsound
when cut for packing arrive in market
in an unsound condition, and prices
have been such as to discourage ship
pers in some sections to such all extent
that they have stopped sending the
truck forward. The crop was very I'M
even, and the first heads to ripen had
been through so many freezes that they
were affected with heart rot, But since
the first OF the crop has been disposed
of the later cabbages are sounder and
better and fair prices are now being re-
allied. Those shipped from now on
will bring good prices.
Lettuce and squash have been bring
ing good prices; string beans have been
selling we'll as the supply in the market
has been limited. But as the supply
from now ON will increase the prices
will decline. The bean crop in Florida
is small and the prices will undoubtedly
be pretty encouraging all through the
season, until the States north of us be-
gin to ship.
Tomatoes have been selling way up,
from 81 to Sc has been the ruling
price in almost all the Northern mar.
kets with tendency of higher figures
the most southern sections of the State
tomatoes have been going into market
for the last three or four weeks and
some have boon shipped from Clermont
and Monteverde, where the fields were
in high attitudes. The frequent show
ers have brought the crops forward
finely and the prospects for large p shi-
ments have never been better. The
vast quantities planted in this section of
Florida insures an annual large ship"
ment from Lake county, in all proba-
bility tie largest and best ever sent
from there. Notwithstanding the large
crate mill at Clermolt, there have been
seven or eight carloads of freight mate
rial shipped to this section and has
found ready market.

better, ana tomato culture lS INC LHe1uo
on every tongue, and the indications are
that the acreage will be doubled next |
year.
Little corn has been planted in this |
section, but that which was planted is
up, looks we'll and prospects are favora-
BILE for good yield.
Such crops as are in should be worked
we'll and skept clean. The frequent
showers have made the grass and weeds
grow as we'll as the crops, and if they
are not kept under while small it will
cost four times as much labor to keep
the crops clean when they are larger,
and if crops are not kept clean when
they are young and we'll worked ssthe
yield is much less and poorer in quail
ty.
The garden should be looked after;
see that insects do not get start and
destroy the young plants. This month
is the time to start summer garden for
the family. Small varieties Of cabbages
can be set in rich hammock or cow
penned land and will furnish green's and
small heads for summer use. Plant
more lettuce, turnips, radishes, okra,
string and garden beans, lima, pole and
bush beans ami collards. Also sweet
corn, Busseno beets, garden peas and
small variety of cukes for family use.
To those who would like to try celery
I would say that The seed should be
sown in rich, moist soil, ard should be
kept shaded with cloth, brush, boards
or something until the plants are well
up, and watered fire quently. AS soon
as the fourth or fifth Leaf starts they
should be ira lanted in rows about
twelve inches wide and six inches apart,
and when six to eight inches high they
should be set in bed where they are
intended to grow. Large varieties
should be set twenty inches apart in
three and half feet rows so as to give
space for banking up. Some set in
trenches and some advocate level cult
ure and banking with boards or some
material TO bleach the plant. [ have
tried several ways and have come to
the conclusion that trenching is about
as good plan as any. But if the land
is low, moist muck land [ shoul cult
vate level until the plants are nearly full
grown and then bank up with dirt to
bleach, There are so many different
opinions, however, that it seems hard
to decide which is best, for one succeeds
one way and another a different way;
but as long as you get good crop it |
does not make much difference how you
grow it.
Asparagus is now being talked OF and
experiments have been made in differ
ent sections of Florida. If it can be sue
cessfully grown in this State there is no
doubt but that it will be a profitable
crop to raise.
In conclusion I would say, put what
crops you do raise for market up in good
shape and pack none but the soundest
and best if you expect to get good
price for it when sold.
The potato crop for early market bids
fair to pay largely toward the loss of the
fall crop. In this section they ara look
ING fine and the WELD will doubtless be

this circumstance many rumors were clrcu-
lated. In the first place, it was reported that
the man was very i'll with "a suspicious kind
Of sickness. and that he had been taken in u
the sunny Side House then il was rumOred
that he had left that house, and was stricken
down with The yellow fever in North Gaines

shaI Davies and Policeman Bennett AID

injurious reports are probably not aware that
there is d heavy penalty attached to the
circulation Of false reports regarding the
yellow fever or other infectious diseases, and
that they are laying themselves liable to ar
rest. The enforcement OF the law on q few
calamitOGs takers might have the effect OF
closing the lips of others who have too much
mouth. Calamity liars cannot be taught q
lesson any too soon.

a BETTER SCHOOL SYSTEM.
That is What the Teachers of Wayne
County Ask For.

The following was adopted at the an
nual meeting of the Wayne County
Teachers Institute, held at Jesup, Aug.
10 to 10, 1893:
Whereas in our opinion the attending
monthly institutes is a source Of considerable
trou0le and expense to teachers, and not
productive Of any permanent benefit to them,
and. whereas, the time zone week. spent in
attendance al the annual institute Is entirely
inadequate to accomplish the end proposed
the elevation Of the ethical and educational
status Of teachers.
Resolved. That we favor the repeal Of the
existing institute act and its substitution by
enactment Of a more liberal provision, provi-
ding
/. The holding OF an annual institute for at
least ten days. Either by counties singly or
by contiguous groups.
2 That competent instructors, employed
by the state, be assigned TO conduct the same
3. That the teachers OF the state be by leg
islatiOn enabled to draw such money, or part
thereof, as they may be entitled TO. in order
TO attend said institute.
4. That said institute be held sometime dur
ing the summer months.
Resolved further, That in our opinion
most OppOrtune time has arrived for the legis-
lators OF the Empire state Of the south to give
their people a more thorough free school
system by more liberal provision for its sus-
tenance More competent teachers would, Of
necessity. be the result, and illiteracy in our
state would ny from its beneficent touch. We
DODulOuS
sister states Of the south ample provisions
made for the education of its people; an EN-
cient and enthusiastic corps OF hers suf-
hciently and punctually compensated for
their Efforts and institutes for teachers in
every way flourishing and enjoying
universal popularity. We turn with
a feeling Of regret to our own great
state to behold a feeble and languishing con
diton OF our free school system and we can
not hep but feel anxious when we remember
the words of our own great Washington, that
the power and happiness and position of a
nation does not rest upon its wealth and pro
ductivenss, but on the enlightenment liberty
and patriotism of its people.
Resolved, That copy OF these resolutions
