beetS as possible, and sell their crop by
weight to the factory
The idea of a central sugar factory
means that the manufacturing and agri-
cultural department will be separated.
1t goes without saying that the separa-
tion of these departments will benefit
the planters and the country. Agricul-
ture as improved and developed requires
all the skill and attention that one man
can give it, and especially is this true in
the growing of cane. Of the manufac-
ture of sugar itself, we'll developed but
still developing science, the same may
be said. 1t is an occupation making full
demands upon the time and attention of
any one man. The amount of mechani-
Cal, chemical and practical knowledge
required to carry on successful sugar
house is quite absorbing and exclusive
enough to exhaust the energy and capac-
ity of any individual to the exclusion of
all else.

CENTRAL SUGAR FACTORIES.

Many Florida farmers who have suit
able land have doubtless been deferred
from engaging in cane culture for the
reason that after it is grown they have
no means of converting it into sugar or
syrup. Even if they could afford to
purchase the necessary machinery the
outfit would necessarily be small AM in
adequate for best results. In the manu-.
facture Of sugar it is necessary to have,
not only proper machinery and facilities
but scientific and experienced manage
ment. These are not at the disposal of
the farmer hence cane culture is neg
lected when it would otherwise prove
profitable.
We have frequently suggested the
central factory system as possibl So
luton of the problem. This system has
given satisfaction in other sugar pro-
duclng countries. In the West India Is
lands, where cane is cultivated the sys-
tenn of central factories prevail. Stock
companies with large capital have been
formed for the purpose of sugar manu-
facture, and they have put up factories
with complete plants and most approved
machinery. Sugar cane is bought by
the ton as raw material; the cane grower
receives in payment either money
price or so many pounds of sugar for
eac ton of cane. The factory people
have nothing to do with cultivation;
they merely manufacture whatever cane
is furnished to them, and give their
whole attention to The full extraction of
the available sugar in the cane. The
same system prevails in the beet sugar
countries of Europe. The beet growers
have no other care than to make as good

whole time the experiment lasted.
On November 20, the grapes placed in
the recipient left open, and especially SO
those in the closed recipient without
alcohol, were mostly rotten and covered
with mold and were imme dlately re-
moved. In the recipient containing the
bottle OF alcohol, the grapes were beau
tlful on one bunch, two grapes had
turned brown, but were firm, and free
of mold; they did not taste at all sour,
thus differing essentially from moldy
grapes, especially those subjects to Pan
iclllium glaucum. The hair hygrom-
eter in the recipient registered 980. On
December 7, the punches OF grapes in
the recipient containing the alcohol had
kept their fine aspect on most of them,
however, one or two grapes had turned
brown and were in the same condition
as those above referred to. On Deem

punches could be seen one or two grapes
commencing to decay. At the end of
nearly two months, each bunch had

were in a perfect state of preservation,
the stalks being perfectly green and the
grapes firm, full, and savory, and hav-
ing all the qualities of fresh-cut grapes.

This process offers many advantages.
1t is simple, easy of application, and
cheap, and, if adopted by our fruit
growers, would allow them not only to
hold their fine fruits until they can
dispose of them at fair price, but
would also insure them handsome profits
during the winter months.

Lettuce a Profitable Crop.

Lettuce q FrOhCaDl6 crop.
A correspondent Of the Citizen writing
from Tampa says:
IA visit to the truck farm of Neyland
and Sons, a few days since, found them
active IN setting out lot of lettuce seed.
In response to few inquiries, o. Fl
Neyland said:
"This is good paying crop, and do
not see why there is not more of it raised
by parties having rich, moist land. Any
time after Christmas there is u good
market for it in any of the Northern
cities, and it brings from $3.50 to $3.50
per barrel, according to it's quality and
condition on arrival at the market.
'In planting lettuce it is very neces-
sary to have rich, moist land to make
success of il. A pound of seed costing
80 cents, and $50 worth of good COM
mercial fertilizer, will constitute the
first cost of an acre. The fertilizer
should be strewn broadcast, and should
be narrowed in well. The seed are

rainy season. We generally plant from
October | to December l, making about
three paintings at even intervals, so
that we can have good lettuce at all
times during the season, which runs
from just after the holidays to about
April Is.
sin preparing the land, after scatter
ing the fertilizer, it should be plowed
about three times; then throw the soil
in beds about eight feet wide, raklng
the top of these off smooth with garden
rake, and marking off rows about one
foot apart on the beds, each row being
about one-half inch Deep Plant the
seed in these rows about one foot apart.
After the plants are up about an inch
and half, thin them out to one in
hill. This will leave about a, 900 plants
to the acre, which, if properly worked
with good soil, will yield from 400 to
500 barrels to the acre.
"After the plants have been thinned.
keep the ground we'll stirred between the
plants with narrow hoes, and weed often
say once in every ten days, because this
has much to do with the quality and
price of the lettuce.
"a top dressing of nitrate of soda is
highly beneficial This is put on about
the time the plants begin to head scat
tered on top the ground between the
rows sometimes we hoe it in) in quaint
ties ranging between 100 and 500 pounds
to the acre, 100 pounds in some instances
increasing the yield fifty barrels to the
acre. This is put on to make the lettuce
head solid, and does not cost more than
$50 per ton.
''In about three months from the seed
the plants mature, and we cut them.
This work is done in the cool of the even
ing if possible. In cutting leave about

NEW PROCESS OF KEEPING FRUIT
FRESH.

undressing chapter on the preserva-
ton of fruit in it's natural condition is
contributed to the government publica-
ton containing consular reports, by
Henry p du Belief, consul at Rheims,
France.
After statement of the increased
price of fruit out of season, Mr.. Belief
says that the solution of the question is
of the greatest interest to fruit growers
and the result of the experiments made
in the latter part Of the year 1894 and
lately reported to the Horticultural
Society of Scissors by Mr.. A. Petit,
chief Of the laboratory of horticultural
researches at the National Horticultural
School of Versailles, deserves the atten-
ton and consideration of fruit growers
thoroughout the United States.
Impressed with the powerful action of
alcoholic vapors on the mold which
generally appears on the surface of
fruits in a damp atmosphere, Mr.. Petit
noticed that pears and apples kept for
urated with vapors of water and alcohol,
even were they at the beginning in a
state of decay, showed no signs of mold,
while fruit in every particular identi-
cally similar to the former, stored undo r
the same conditions, but not exposed to
the actor of alcoholic vapors, were
entirely covered with 1t.
Taking advantage of this observation,
Mr.. Petit applied the principle to the
preservation of fruits in general, and
most particularly to grapes, because,
more than others, the latter are subject
to mold. 1t was to be foreseen that
grapes kept, from the day they are cut
off the vines, in an atmosphere satu
rated with vapors of water and alcoho
would, by the retarding of the sweating
period, not only remain free from mold
but would even retain their natural
aspect Consequently, should the tenn
perature be constant and low, the preser
walton could be maintained long and
well.
On the 3lst of October, 1894-that is
very late in the season and at a very I'M
favorable time-Mr. Petit placed, with
other fruits and bottle filled with l0(
cubic centimeters (6l cubic inches) of al
cohol at go, some punches of grapes
known as "Chasselas lie Fontainebleau, >
fresh from the vine, in brick recipient
in the form of a parallelopiped, cemented
inside and closed as Theoretically as pos
sible by a common wooden door. Ir
two similar recipients contiguous to the
first, one of which was kept open and
the other closed, but without alcohol
were stored similar fruits from the same
trees and vines. The fruits were lalC
on wood shavings. The recipients were
built in very damp cellar, the temper
allure of which, varied regularly from

A WAsHTNeToN special of recent dat

A WASHINGTON special of recent date
says: E Spencer Bates, United States consul at
Singapore, is mailing an effort TO introduce the
cultivation of Sumatra tobacco into the United
States in view OF the high price it commands and
it's superiority for wrappers. In report to the
state department. he says that this tobacco is
suitable for growing in Lower California and on
the southern coast of the United States. Conse-
quently he has addressed himself to the task of
procuring seed and finding it impossible to OBJ
tain this through official channels, owing to the
reluctance OF the Dutch planters, he has pro-
cured supply from private sources and will for
ward it to the agricultural department. His re
port gives complete description of the method
of culture.

COOPERATION AMONG
GROWERS.
FRUIT

One reason the fruit growers of Hood
River have been SO successful in market
ing their fruit is that they have acted
together in making shipments. In this
vicinity there is little harmony and con-
sequently little profit in the business.
There is too much competition and too
little careful management in making
large shipments. Instead of making
shipments in accordance with definite
plan which would place the fruit, from
day to day, in markets where the de-
mand is greatest each shipper sends his
fruit where he happens to have a con-
signee, regardless of the competition
there may be at that particular time and
place.
One man in charge of the shipments
could direct them to much better advan-
tage than can each shipper acting
separately.

OUR GREATEST NEED.

We CHANGED to meet stranger upon
the streets Saturday, and as he was in
in search of point from which he could
get view of the city, we walked with
him to the head of the steps on Court
street from which portion of the town
below the bluff can be seen. He was
surprised to find so much of a town
above the line of the bluff and expressed
himself as much pleased with the ap-
pearance of the city. "But," said he,
"what is there here to keep up the town
and give employment to all these
people?" We commenced to explain
how the country tributary to the city
was a very large one, much of it very
productive and its products very diverse /;
we spoke of the stock, wool, wheat, fruit
and fishing industries and that for all
these products we have the best market
in Eastern Oregon; that our transporta-
ton facilities are unlimited and unex-
celled. 81 can understand all you say
as to the business of your merchants and
warehouse men," was his reply, 'but
this does not give employment to all
these people; you need manufacturing
industries; you need pay roll; what is
the reason your products are not here
manufactured for market and your city
with all it's advantages made attractive
to the wage earner?'
We realized that he had sized up the
situation correctly and being unable to
answer his last question we excused our
selves and retired leaving him to con-
template alone the waving poplars, the
beautiful Columbia and the tenantless
and houseless city of Grand Dalles on
the bluff beyond the river.
