Berry Growing.

A sloping piece of ground is nearly al
ways good selection for strawberries
in Florida, as substratum of clay gen.
orally lies less than two feet below the
surface, and the water from the higher
ground slowly percolating downward
along the surface of this layer of clay
will sub-irrigate the ground above it dur
ing drouth. A southern slope will gen.
orally ripen berries earlier than north
ern slope. A fat low.lying piece of land
may be good for strawberry growing, on
account of moisture during the fall and
spring drouths; but such locations, es-
pecially if surrounded by woods, are apt
to be frosty, while on more elevated
location the wind will blow the frost
away. Yet, on the whole, we should ia.
vor the lower, moister lands, if fairly
we'll drained, as they will produce an
abundance of foliage that will protect
the fruit from frost A windy spot
should not be chosen, as the winds will
blow the pollen away in poisoning time;
yet it is desirable to have free oircula.

on large scale, as the charter contem
plates, as well as other enterprises. To
bacco will be the leading product OF
the company, but cassava, which is a
very profitable plant, and sugar cane
may receive much attention from these
settlers.
This scheme will unquestionably re-
suit in great things for this county in
that we have such a quantity of lands
well suited to the growth of tobacco,
cassava, sugar cane and other such pro-
ducts. The planting of such a colony
will be the means of attracting atten-
ton to our county from all over the
country and hundreds of people
who have already been contemplate ting
the cultivation Of. tobacco will be in
spired with confidence when they learn
that experienced Cuban growers are 60
ing into the business on such scale.
Captain Cordery deserves the thanks
and gratitude Of the people of the
county for the earnest and successful
work he has done in this matter, and to
him and the generous people who came
to his timely assistance in the matter,
we hereby give our assurances OF sup
port and encouragement.

should make the sweet potato crop a
very popular one with the farmers of
Middle Florida, where finer crops of
them can be grown than anywhere else
in the South. He expects to see an in
dustry of considerable proportions spring
up in this line within the next year or
two.
Mr.. Sherwood says that when Florida
sweet potatoes first began to be shipped
North, very little demand existed tor
them; but as the people up there come
to know what they really are the demand
increases, and he thinks that even when
they shall be known throughout the
Northern and Western states the market
will hardly be glutted. Scarcely farm
can be found in Middle Florida where
potato growing is not participated in
more or less, but hitherto, so far as the
information of the writer goes, no effort
has been made to market them further
than the few required for local consump-
ton.
Many other crops with favorable sea-
sons and conditions for marketing
might be far more profitable to the
farmer than potato growing, but few
are as easy to grow and as sure of a
bountiful yield. This, the writer's in
formant thinks, together with the
ability to hold them until the markets
shall be favorable for shipping, should
make the Florida sweet potato very
desirable crop for the farmers.
The use OF Reet potatoes is not con-
fined to table use, by any means, either.
Those in position to know say that the
farmer who is fortunate enough to have
his own meat to fatten will find an ad-
vantage in having a large potato patch
to turn his hogs into during the early
fall. Potatoes are said to be much more
effective than corn, or in fact any other
food, ''to give the hogs starter" as
farmers sometimes say.

A Jerseyman's Plan.

| came to Florida twelve years ago,
had years before lived in New Jersey
and raised fruit and vegetables and knew
something about poor land and patent
manures, and I profted by past expert
ence. 1t was not long after came here
that had chance to take forty-acre
homestead that man had formerly
taken and worked several years and
abandoned. The older Inhabitants said
it was worthless and I could not raise a
row on it with two Irishmen and gallon
of whisky. AS happen to be part Irish,
[ told them that in two years would
raise row (row) of anything they
wanted without the whisky, and I did,
and without buying an ounce of patent
manure or any other kind. l was poor,
so began by getting few hens and
pig and keeping them up and saving the
fertilizer, giving the pig all the weeds
and grass he could handle and reduce to
compost. [ also got pile of grass and
loan, etc., wherein all my Stops were
thrown. And right here want to say
that there is fertilizer enough thrown
away in Florida each year to raise all the
vegetables the State needs for it's own
use where a little care and forethought
would utilize it in growing family gar
den.
After awhile 1 began to plant. first
with small results, but the ground was
becoming sweet and pretto soon began
to raise weeds, which were not pulled
up or hoed up and left on top of the
ground to dry up and blow away, but
were either buried in the soil or con-
verified into bedding for some animal.
After awhile l got mustang and then
was rich. How hauled muck and
plowed and cultivated and even went
out on the COW ranges and gathered COW

chips. Then began to raise vegetables.
The next venture was cow and calf,
and, to make long story short, in five
years I owned twenty head of cattle,
four horses, SIX hogs, a nice flock of hens,
and was supplying my town with rich
milk and my land was producing any
thing l wanted in the vegetable line
which had ready sale for out of my
milk wagon. The last year have sold
$35 worth Of pork to our butchers. I
only keep limited stock of hogs, just
enough to have one or two growing and
fattening all the while and all this time
| have never bought an ounce of patent
manure.
Some one says animal manure is all
right in It's place but it lacks potash.
How do you get that? Take some
barrels around to your friends who live
in town and tell them, especially the
colored washwomen that if they will
save their ashes in good shape you will

Just before you want to plant crop
where you want potash mix barrel of
ashes with load of we'll rotted and

to it and ask no questions about what

Poor man, get move on you and
don't let your yards and fields fill up

Advantages Of the Sweet Potato.

A Tallahassee correspondent of the
Citizen writes as follows:
Mr.. Sherwood, of Chaires Station, a
small town twelve miles east Of here on
the Florida Central and Peninsular rail
road, was in the city few days ago and
to questions by the newspaper man, re-
lated some facts relative to an industry
that he says will In the near future add
greatly to the material wealth and pros
perity Of Leon county.
Mr.. Sherwood is a Northern man,
raised in Central New York. He resided
for many ears in Michigan, from which
state he removed to Florida about two
years ago and located at Chaires, after
looking through other sections of the
State, believing this to be the best ad-
apted to his particular calling. He be-
lieved that raising sweet potatoes for
market was lucrative occupation and
his experience furnishes some interest
ing information from which others in
rIOrlQa mlSnG derive prOuG.
The first year he says he frittered
away in learning where, how and when
to ship, and the approximate cost of the
product. Having educated himself in
these essentials he went deeper into the
business this year, and is much pleased
with the success of his venture. He
states, from his own experience, that
sweet potatoes can be raised here for less
than IL cents per bushel. All this sea-
son he has been buying them at 81 pei
barrel of two and half bushels. This
is net profit to the producer of about
90 cents ger bushel, which any farmer
with experience in the matter of potato
growing will readily perceive is profit
able. They require less cultivation
probably than any other crop, and are
easily harvested. Another advantage
the potato possesses over most other
Florida crops is that it need not be rushed
off to market TO prevent decay just when
the market is glutted, and no demand
exists for them. If the markets are not
favorable at harvesting time the pota'
toes can be gathered and put away with
perfect safety until the following sum.
mer, when they can be shipped off al
the pleasure of the seller.
Another advantage that will commend
the crop to the farmer owning a small
area of land is his ability to grow two
crops on the same piece of ground. Ar
Irish potato crop can be put in during
the early spring and harvested in ample
time to put in the sweet potato crop
These points, Mr.. Sherwood thinks

Polk County for Tobacco.
From the Barlow Courier Informant

people Of the State have been talking
about tobacco growing, and it happens
that Polk county man is the frat tt
succeed in forming company to begir
the cultivation of the weed on large
scale.
We have previously referred to the
efforts being made by Captain e. A. Cor
derry, of Fort Meade, in this direction,
and it affords us great pleasure to state
that his efforts have been successful.
The "Cuban Tobacco Growers Com
pany, Limited" has been organized,
and the articles of incorporation will be
published at once. The company starts
with capital of $4,000. The incor-
porators are chiefly Cubans from far
famed Vuelto Abajo district of Cuba,
with thorough knowledge of the Gull
ture and curing Of fine cigar tobacco
handed down to them through three
generations. The officers of the COM
pany for the first year are: M. A. Abalo,
A. A'S pICS1uCuG, w. AlOAAO OOAUOA y
vice-president; Ricardo Photo, director
and general manager; Juan Tarrelbas,
M. D., Treasurer, and Carlos Marsillan,
secretary. This list is composed of
men of stability, and they have suffi-
cient capital behind them to insure the
success Of the scheme.
About 200 acres of land lying east
of Fort M ade and taking IN portion
of the old deadening, were donated to
the company by the citizens of the
county, number of Barlow gentlemen
having assisted literally, together with
some nonresident land owners, who,
with the generous people of Fort Meade
and vicinity, succeeded in making up
the required acreage.
The plans of the company are to al
once begin the erection of the necessary
buildings, clear the land and all other
work preparatory to planting. The best
quality of Cuban seed will be obtained,
and Ill their skill will then be exercised
not only in directing the planting, fer
tilizing, cultivating, cutting and curing,
but also in the scientific methods of the
final curing process. A large central
curing house will be erecIed in Fort
Meade, and this will be the headquar'
tiers of the company.
The advantage of this will be that al
the farmers can take their pole-drieG
product to the GENITAL curing house anC
there have the curing process completed
by the secret methods known only tt
the experts. This tobacco will then b.
selected and packed as 1t is in Cuba
when it will be ready for sale in thu
markets of the world.
On account of the superior advan
tages enumerated, the outlook is goot
for the location Of large colony of to
bacco growers in this favored section
both from Cuba and less favored por
lions of the United States. When tn,
colony is located and the preliminary
work completed, the latest electrical
appliances will be introduced for light
Ing purposes, transporta ton of freigh
and passengers on local trolley line tt
the S. F. & w. road, the pumping O.
water for irrigation, and the operation
of other machinery. The Peace rive
has sJrong current and good head
