The old reliable La Junta Tribune
has made new departure, coming out
last week q . neat and attractive semi
weekly. In this shape the Tribune
should have increased circulation and
prosperity.
Ex-Governor Francis Of Missouri, at
q recent business convention, paid tho
following tribute to tho country editor.
He said among other things: "rhe edit
or, in proportion to his means, doss more
for his town than any other ten men, and
in all fairness he ought to be supported.

ple ON the face of the earth"
Last week the county court tried the
case Of Rocky Ford vs. r. V. Waterman
which was taken up on appeal from
Squire Robins court, in which Water
man was fined $3.50 for keeping a gambl-
ing house. The jury did not agree,
standing 8 to 8 for conviction. La Junta
citizens who sized up the Jury say that
three Of the number could always be
counted on for aoquittal in cases OF this
kind.
Tho Pueblo Chieftain recently gave
the Rocky Ford Enterprise a neat and
well earned compliment IN it's "liet OF
papers which benefit their locality" but
its evident slight OF La Junta was so
conspicuous, as to make the compliment
of very doubtful character.-La Junta
Tribune.
If the Tribune means to say that TALL
of the La Junta papers should have been
named. lack Of space probably prevented
the Chieftain giving the desired mention

FARMING LAND IN FLORIDA.

A great many people have an errone-
Gus idea that there is no good farming
land in Florida, and that the business
of general farming cannot be successfully
and proftably conducted in this State.
For the benefit of these people and to re-
move if possible this wrong impression
we reproduce below extracts from recent
publications on the subject. The gen.
tlemen quoted need no introduction.
Hon. W. D. Bloxham, State comptroller
and ex-governor says:
"For twenty years have devoted my
self to agricultural pursuits in Leon
county. I do not believe there is an.
other place in the world where farmer
can lake better or more certain liv-
ing than in Florida. have frequently
made crops to average as follows: Cot
ton, 1900 pounds per acre; corn rs to
80 bushels per acre; oats, 40 bushels per
acre; rice, so bushels per acre; syrup,
500 gallons per acre; sweet potatoes, 300
to 800 bushels per acre.
"On one acre, fertilized, made and
gathered in fifteen months, 800 bushels
of turnips, 200 bushels of Irish potatoes,
and $50 gallons of syrup, and | have
known larger crops than this one.''
Hon. John L. Crawford, secretary of
State says:
"My lands are in Wakulla county, A.
$50 acres IN all, in body, two miles
eastward of Crawfordville, about two
thirds of which is rich hammock of oak
and hickory, and much of which is
capable of producing as follows: Sweet
potatoes, 400 to 600 bushels per acre;

A GLOOMY PICTURE

We have been favored with clipping
from the Chicago Tribune of letter
written by Jacksonville correspondent.
1t almost gives one the blues to read
even the head lines of this article. 1t
is very depressing.
The AGRICULTURIsT does not make a
practice of answering such statements
as are made by this correspondent-it
would be useless, and after all we think
this character of stuff does the State but
little ii any harm. for the reason that a
sensible man who has an idea of immiRra
ting to Florida, will not be prevented
from making an investigation for him
self by what an anonymous correspon-
dent may say.
The writer in question sets up the
fact that all Of the orange groves of
Florida are now "a desert waste" that
"only the rich can succeed here" that a
living cannot be made out of the soil. {"
and that when crops are grown 'they
count of the heavy transportation
charges"
1t is the same old story that we have
heard for years: A man with pen and
piece of paper with nothing else better
to do writing of things he knows very
little of. He picks out ali the bad things
he has heard of and records all of the
failures and gives the impression that
every one fails and that everything IS
bad.
AS before said we do not think that
this will do much harm. No sensible
man is going to take such an important
step as moving to new country with
out fully investigating it, and he will
certainly not take the word of these
gloomy correspondents as true. He will
come and see for himself, and Florida is
willing to stand the closest investiga-
ton.

A FIRE PROOF TREE.

The Chaparro tree of the United
States of Colombia is credited by Mr..
Robert Thomson, in a report to the
British Foreign Office, with phenome
nal endurance of fire. The tree-botan-
ically known as Rhopsala obovata-
grows to height of Is to 30 feet, and
It's distorted trunks measure from 8 to IL
inches in diameter. In Tolima where
other trees are nearly all destroyed by
the persistent burning of the savannahs
and hills for renewing pasturage, the
Chaparro not only resists the fire but
seems actually to seek It, In the lower
hills, reduced to sterility by the incess-
ant burnings, hundreds Of square miles
are covered by growths of these little
trees, which are as regular in arrange
menU as in a carefully cultivated planta-
ton. The resistance of the tree is due
to the structure of the bark Of which
the outer portion, to the depth of half
an inch, is of peculiar composition and
serves no vital function.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-12-11

literature that is known as 'lurd. 1t
has for years tried to get our writ RS to
divest their articles of poetry and fiction
and to get down to facts
II is sad waste of time to attempt
to get people to settle in Florida who
are in search of an earthly PARADISE
place where wealth will come without
toll. We know that there are such peo-
pie, and it might be possible to secure
them as settlers in Florida, but after all
they would DO themselves and the State
but little good. Such people soon be.
come discouraged, and failure follows
encouragement Of course they at
tribute the failure to the State not to
themselves.
We admit that at this time Florida
is badly In need of more settlers, but we
do not want the kind of people who are
in search of an earthly paradise-we had
rather do without entirely than fill the
State with this class Of people. What
we want is a few thousand honest, enter
prising people with sufficient Ca p:tal to
develop and improve the farms they
will purchase. People who are willing
to work fo- what they get, and who do
not expect wealth to come for the ask
ing.

HARD TO PLEASE.

A subscriber writing from Chicago
complains that we give too much space
IN our columns to agricultural affairs in
other countries. and complains bitterly
because we devoted several columns
descriptive of county in Pennsylvania
and the methods pursued by the farmers
there. This county, by the way, is
said to be the richest agricultural
section on earth. Not that the soil Is
more fertile or the product of the soil
more valuable, but that the people who
till the soil are more wealthy than the
farmers elsewhere.
We discussed the methods of these
people at some length and pointed out
how the people of Florida might profit
by their example-that is to manu-.
facture their raw material into CONNER
cial articles on the farm at home rather
than to sell in the raw state to the manu-
facturers at small margin and allow
them to make the profit of manufact
uring.
The subscriber little further along
in his letter complains of the Florida
matter we do publish, and says that it
apparently is exaggerated-that we have
selected exceptional cases as a sample
of what Florida can do. In this our
subscriber is mistaken. Of course we
do not search the country over in order
to find failures--it would be unnecessary
to make a very lengthy search in any
country to find these. What we have
attempted to do is to show what ener-
getlc, enterprising people have done in
Florida, and we think that what one
man has done another can also do, I'M
der the same conditions.
The AGRl CULTURIsT has always tried
to discourage that class of Florida
