Editor Florida AgTiculturist:

etULIUhIST Wn0re we can get h6mle SEED! nave
been watching to see it advertised but have not
yet seen it. Also the species of Arundin@ that
Mr. Saunders told about in March 20 of the FLOR
IDA AGRICUL URIeT.
Any information in regard to securing start
of these plants will be thankfully received.
MRS. F. r, HAsKINs.
See above for reply to inquiry for
Ramie seed.
Regarding the Arundin8 we wrote to
Mr.. w. A Saunders for further informa-
ton and received the following circular,
and we print same for what information
it contains.
This is true grass, but is Of enor-
nous growth Of stems and leaves. Its
native home is the countries about the
Mediterranean Sea, particularly the less
arid parts OF Sahara Desert where it
grows on the mountain sides up to the
region of considerable snowfall.
1t Can scarcely be grown from seed
but is easily propagated by division of
the roots or by cuttings. 1t is easily
gotten rid of should you ever desire the
land for other use. The princip pal root
growth is an enormous grublike root at
the surface of the ground, which can
be easily torn up and when dry makes
excellent fuel. 1t has been growing
thriftily on the dryest part of dry
Fresno ranch for the past ten years
without drop of water; but with album
dant water and manure it makes much
larger growth, being capable of absorb
ing more water and manure and chang
ing them into first class cow feed than
any other plant.
The best way to plant is to lay the
canes, without cutting them, end to end
in a newly plowed furrow and cover
with plow. Cut the limbs from the
branched kind (tied separately in the
bale) and plant each branch the same as
a whole cane.
They will do better if not grazed till
autumn-will then furnish great
amount of winter feed but if stock run
on them constantly they'll keep them
too closely grazed to allow them to get a
good start.
We've never had case of "alfalfa
bloat" since our stock has had all the
Arundip8 they could eat; this together
with their value for milk production
makes them very valuable.
You can set them as grape cuttings
are set, making each cutting two buds
in length, but the warm weather early
in March has started the new growth to
that extent that twill be largely broken
off in setting them as cuttings, which
makes the burying of the canes better
way of setting at the present time,
You can set them by the plowing-in
method any time Of year.
We also wrote to the Department of
Agriculture for information as to where
roots could be had. We received the
following:

No Divorce in Oklahoma.

GUTHRIE. OkLA., July 31.-Follow-
ing the decisions that probate judges
have had 90 right to grant divorces in
Oklahoma since August 13. 1898, the
Supreme Court to-day decided that
even before that time, their jurisdiction
was con6ued to persons who bad been
residents Of the territory two years
OF more, aud that all divorces granted
by them to persons on ninety days,
residence are null and void, and subse-
quent marriages bigamous AS out
siders coming here for divorces took
advantage of the ninety days residence
clause, this decision invalidates be-
tween three aud four buodred divorces
granted TO Eastern people, in addition
to the seven or eight hundred rendered
invalid by the decision of last Satur-
day.

rendered as speedily as is consistent
With the importance of the case. Should
it remain unchanged, Congress will be
asked to amend the law under which he
was appointed, so that his duties shall
be of a purely ministerial character.
Secretary Carlisle has been informed
by these Louisiana gentlemen that the
continued Withholding of the money
will result in defeat for the Demo
cratic party 10 Louisiana aud that
nothing can prevent this State from
swinging into the Republican column
nezt year unless the money shall be
paid within reasonable period.
1t is feared oy the Louisiana peo-
pie if the money be not paid before the
meeting Of Congress next winter, bill
will be introduced to repeal the law
under which the bounty is to be paid.
Secretary Carlisle has changed che
plans for his trip through the great
lakes. Accompanied by Mrs. Carlisle,
he will leave Washington Friday, and
90 direct TO Chicago. where they will
be joined by Mrs. W. K Carlisle and
children. The party will board the
lighthouse tender Amarantb, probably
Saturday, and make tour of the lakes
to Buffalo The time consumed will be
about thirty days.
