loss occurs by fire, etc. Our production
is only about 1000, 900 bales less than the
worlds consumption and yet other lands
with facilities for cheaper production
are growing 100000 bales annually and
are quite sure to continue this quantity.
Suppose we cut our production down to
7,5OO,O 900 and by this create small
annual deficit. The assured result would
be gradually clearing up market ior
the raw material, an enhancement of
price so that 10 cents would be readily
paid for good, fair midling, or upland
article. Seven million five hundred
thousand bales would bring better re-
turns than 8,5OO,OOO or 100000 would
do, or has done. From 100000 to g.
100000 bales per year for the next ten
years would render cotton growing quite
remunerative. The demand should be
closely studied and the supply be brought
to conform thereto. A. F. BOYCE.

Oh, yes, could tell you of this and

but few trees set out, just enough to
test them; our trees are but two years old
but they were loaded with the finest Of
fruit, besides | pulled off all while still
green, that my courage would permit.
Just in the nick Of time came the rain,
and so the fruit was perfect, and will
even find it's way to the Atlanta Exposi-
tion. Wild fruit was never so plentiful,
especially grapes and huckleberries.
The cultivated grapes here on Silver
Lake fruit farm, have done finely. For
instance, | sent Brightons and Niagaras
to Atlanta, punches of over pound in
weight and without flaw.
Yes, we are getting over the freeze
nicely at this place Mr.. Carson's orange
grove is looking as fine as could be asked
many of the trees having some fruit on
them. Some OF the grape fruit trees will
have as many as 80 or 40 fruit to the
tree. Here on Silver Lake fruit farm,

but few traces of the great freeze left
I came here and located ON Silver Lake
two years ago, grow oranges and pines
and | expect to do it, providence per-
mittlng My large fig tree that was over
ten feet high, and out in leaf when the
February freeze struck it, | had to cut
down, but it is now seven feet high with
branches four to five feet long and the

ripe figs and now it Is setting full Of

have had numbers of the Delaware
melons to weigh over fifty pounds each,
how much more | know not, for that is
all my scales will weigh. But one sent
to the editor Of the Avon Park Idea cred
tied it with tipping the beam at sixty
three pounds. These melons were grown
as the third crop on the same ground
since the freeze. The first was cabbage
then early corn and when this was we'll
grown the melons were planted between
the corn without any additional fertili-
Zer. We still have them in abundance
and will have till fall
When we pull one of the big ones we
always send out for the neighbors. On
one occasion fourteen grown people and
four children ate of one melon and all
were filed and many fragments left.
One of the attractions of the Silver Lake
fruit farm was the stately tropical paw
paw loaded with fruit in all stages of
ripeness as we'll as blossoms and buds
have a number of them coming on
again and one of the old ones though
killed TO the ground has sent up a sprout
and in few days will have fruit where
now are blossoms, and where all these
plants are growing and fruiting too, two
years ago all was covered with the
stately pines and wire grass.

The watermelon story is big one.

Better Prices in View for Farm Products.

Better Prices in View tor Farm Products.
Editor Florida AgTicuIturist:
With meat and flour and cotton ad-
vanced in prices fully twenty-five cents
to the dollars worth; it begins to look as
if the farmers condition was nearing a
turn for the better. II these staple prod
ucts can hold up to present prices for a
year or two, giving the farmers fresh
announcement for continued zeal in
their especial fields of labor, it will aid
not little to restore the former time
appreciation of the agricultural indus
try. 1t will help to bring the farmer
somewhat nearer to the front again.
1t has been sad sight to look upon the
abandoned farms which the past ten
years have brought about. Undoubted y
there are thousands of farms. groves or
orchards and gardens which are today
under tillage yet will not afford their
workers a plain living.
Some lands are very hard to cultivate,
Others are quite unproductve rs rule.
even when un er fair cultivation. In
All such cases experience must deter
mine the question IS to what shall be
done with farms like these. Perhaps it
were best in some cases that such lands
should be brought under forestry treat
ment The time is near, if not quite at
hand, when we may fifty consider the
matter of forest growth. The writer
believes iU would pay even now to plant
some varieties of wooded growth where
the land is hardly compensatory when
planted to ordinary farm, orchard or gar
den crops. 1t is true that forty or fifty
years is long time to wait for crop to
attain a fit growth for returns, but the
farmer who could not afford to plant his
whole allotment of land to wooded
growth might be amply able to plant a
tenth or twentieth part. 1t is part of
the agricultural industry to plant trees

may be, and yet the latter may be more
suited to garden cropping or fruit pro-
duction; one may do better with cotton
and another with wheat, or dairy prod
ucts, or tobacco, sugar, rice or mixed
line of husbandry, or another may be
best suited to tree growing.
The present advance in prices may act
as a stimulant and farmers rush into an
excess of growth beyond the needs of the
near future; or it may act as a more
healthy influence and lend an encourage
ment to those engaged on these lines OF
production and cause an adherence to
them instead of a partial, or more COM
plete abandonment.
Now, what we should most like to see
Is a fair compensation which would
afford profit of moderate degree with
out much Of stimulation to enlarge
production in those directions. A more

steady volume of production is the point
of truest aim.
In this matter our farmers, fruit grow
ers and gardeners have need to practice
a better discretion than the recent past
has shown. Our case is hopeful one,
for we are growing Older-as a people
from year to year are becoming more
interviewer In interests with the work
els of the world at large wherein steadi-
ness of production is the rule and varia-
bleness is quite the exception unless
caused by climatic conditions.
1t is rather healthy indication that
the present advance of prices is only
about twenty-five per cent, for this aug
urs a better prospect for stability and if
felt in some measure by the consumers
it was clearly due to the producers or
farmers and should he acceded without
word of murmuring. The writer is
not one who favors high prices; yet an
adjustment Of proper. compensations
must needs occasionally occur and this
was undoubtedly one Of those cases call
ing for it.
We want to see better titled fields;
more productive fields; not a larger vol
ume of production, but larger yield
upon given area. 1t is not good farm
ing to till ifty or one hundred acres to
obtain what twenty or thirty should
produce; nor is it good farming to let
land grow up to briars and bushes while
under fence. A growth of weeds may
pay if plowed under at the most fitting
stage of decay.
While in many things we are no doubt
able to teach the people of other lands
much that is useful and desirable to
know; yet it must be admitted that we
could learn from them no small measure
of economy and thrift if we would open
our minds thus to learn, and among those
things we could learn with advantage is a
more regular way of cropping our fields;
both as to kinds of crops and the area
given them. This may sound a little
strange to the ears of some of our far
mers and fruit growers; but the query
comes up just here, is the annual demand
much of variable quantity? And if it
is presumed so to be may it not be the
smallest when the production is even the
largest? How can these quite often oppo-
site conditions be most readily and most
fittingly harmonized? Nothing will con-
duce to it so much as uniformity of
If this should be doubted by some in
telligent persons let me inquire of such
what other means known can be expected
to act so well2
To illustrate the point let the ritter
refer to the cotton crop as an example.
In 1894, the crop grown in this country
is figured up pretty accurately at about
9, 400, 900 bales. The worlds supply was
100000 bales and the annual con-
sumption about 1000, 900 bales, (some

Instead of reaching our destina-

on a wrong road. Darkness had
already set in, and gradually
the skies became overcast, but
fortunately it had not rained.
After considerable stray riding we
arrived at Mexican farm which
showed itself in the shape OF a
straw hut, a dilapidated fence,
a couple of burros and several
half clad Mexican children.
In the neighborhood OF this
farm and about 10 miles from San
