Surplus Products.
Editor Florida AgricuIturi0t:

Cernlng Gne growing or money crops,
whether favorable or otherwise, it must
be admitted that some surplus products
are to be aimed for, and reasonable eff
fort made to secure them.
1t can hardly be expected the farm
will produce every kind of food we may
desire to consume; or to supply our
needed clothing; besides other wants,
such as comfortable livelihood calls for.
Nor is it our purpose to lower the stand
ard of farm living so as to bring it with
in the range of an average farmers
ability to grow of his own personal eff
forts. The idea of money crops has had
too strong hold upon our land workers
and in consequence of this they have
paid penalty for their departure from
the "better way" as we will term it, in
which home supplies are first considered
and sought to be produced upon the
farm.
English husbandry, with its system OF
four or five course of cropping, helps to
exemplify this point, also the French
system of small farms with their at
tendant variety of products.
In both these cases the products of the
farm are mainly used upon the farm.
While it is not our purpose to offer as a
substitute something more desirable, or
better suited to our wants in general
way it is our desire to call attention to
this manner of husbandry as being far
more serviceable and economical than
money cropping can be in the long run.
BY money crops we mean all such as
cotton or corn or wheat growing ex-
clusively; or oranges, pineapples, peaches,
pears, melons or garden truck for North
ern markets. 1t may be true that some
crops can be raised at less cost when
the whole farm is devoted to their grow
ing; as, for instance, wheat, hay, etc.,
in which case expensive machinery can
be brought in use and labor largely
saved.
But even if the cost be less, for the
reason of labor saving, there are draw
backs to be considered such as a need of a
more constant employment OF labor and
animal fol not riSking so much upon
the outcor g of a single crop either as to
it's quantity or market value. An old
garden truck grower repeatedly told me
that he never could rely upon crop
realizing any profit, however promising
it might be. until it was put on the
market. Quantities are fuctuating;
prices are up and down frequently with
out special reference to the quantity at
hand. In three days time have known
potatoes to drop in price one dollar per
barrel and this with no excess of guam
tity on hand or in sight, but simply from
monetary disturbance and business
depression. This brings us to the idea,
how can we best avoid these attendent
uncertainties and want of reliability in
regard to our sustenance from off the
farm
Suppose we compare the average out
come of farm devoted to the growing
of some special crop, with another which
is producing ten or dozen cropes such
as grain, hay, meat, fruits, vegetables,
dairy products, poultry, fibre, tobacco,
syrup or sugar, animals, etc. Even
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-03-06

it serves just about the same usefulness
fed at home as if its market value was
twenty dollars per ton. And the same
may be said of fruits. Oranges are
worth as much for home use when
worth only rs cents per hundred as
when worth $3.50. Vegetables the same;
grain the same; ETC., etc. We may now
come. to surplus products. If every
products of such as are in fair demand
he could obtain reasonable income there
from. Almost any person can name
half dozen or more of farm, orchard and
garden products which are generally
called for by community where there
are varied industrial workers. Dairy
and poultry products, meats, fruits
both green and dried, canned and pre-
served, hay, etc. Presumlng fairly
good farmer can readily grow few dol
lars worth of such surplus products for
each week of the year, it quite surely
follows that he can buy those articles or
products which he really eeds and can
not grow, with the proceeds therefrom;
also pay his taxes, etc.
With only money crop available
wherewith tosupply all the family wants
and provide for those same other out
goes, it is sharp struggle to bring the
ends to meet. Freights and packages
and commissioners, leakage and bad con-
dition when reaching market, or I'M
scrupulous and extortionate dealers to
confront are ofttimes too much for the
farmer to contend with.
1t is said the French farmers are more
prosperous than those of any other
country, and this comes largely from
their constant employment, prudence,
good management, varied products, etc.
A farm isesupposed to be strip of land
upon which family can be fairly well
sustained. A less serviceable land hold
ing is hardly worthy the name of farm.
A grove may produce ten thousand
boxes of oranges per year, and yet the
net proceeds during twenty years may
be little or nothing. The cost all told is
quite as likely than otherwise to eat up
the income. Apples, when an abundant
crop, seldom bring enough to pay any
net inco~"A above the labor bestowed,
and when scarce the income is but small
indeed. Commonly half a crop pays
better than full crop does, for the rea-
son less labor is called for to given
amount of gross income.
The more even distribution of prod
uct throughout the season or year the
better will be the price as common
result. The larger variety of products
placed upon the market the better will
be the aggregate price obtained.
Surplus products, then, had better be
in varied form than mainly along the
line of one or two products
Yet the situation of the grower and
the character of his land, and amount
of means available will largely deter
mine what is likely to afford him the
most reliable gain.
Each farmer must largely determine
for himself what he can grow and dis
pose of best in the way of any surplus
production beyond his home wants.

4RBOR DAY.

Governor Brown has appointed
While the day is not a legal holiday
its observance by exercises of special
character in the public schools is look
ed forward to eagerly by the pupils
and in many instances by the teacher
as we'll Although the day first be-
gan to be observed in this State ten
of trees have been small, but that the
coming generation has gained much
in knowledge of nature and her works
from the celebrations and exercises in
the schools can not be doubted. A
love of the beautiful has been fostered
iii their hearts and the Importance of
preserving our forest growth impressed
upon them. Had George Washington
possessed the advantages enjoyed by
our public school children of to-day it
is most likely he would have known
better than to make his wanton AS
sault upon the cherry tree, and the
historical story would never have
been written.
The day is not entirely for children,
however. Grown people may profit
| by it and should by all means encour-
age their children by their attendance
at the schools as far as possible. They
may there hear and see some things
profitable to them, and will come away
impressed by the necessity of preser-
wing our beautiful and useful forest
growth.

The New York Republicans, who
with the aid of the independent voters
carried things with such high hand
last fall, are not having Il happy time
of it. The people have discovered
that in trying to escape from the
clutches of Tammany they have only
made matters worse, and that Repub-
lican rings are still more odious than
Democratic rings. Political leaders
who have been CHASING the State as
safely Republican in the next presi-
Dental election are now inclined to
place it in the doubtful column with
the chances in favor of Democracy.

A SHREWD SCHEME.

The latest development in the Eng
troversy is an apparent attempt by
the latter country to place the United
States as a buffer between her and
Great Britain-in other words, to take
American paws to pull her chestnuts
out of the English fire. Three Mime
sofa Adventures claim to have re-
ceived from the Venezuelan govern
ment a concession of valuable tract
of land at the mouth of the Orinoco
river, right in the heart of the dispu-
ted territory. This concession is cal
culated to bring about trouble between
this country and Great Britain and
this is probably the very reason it
was made. The programme would
seem to be for these men to undertake
to operate their concession and then
be stopped by the English. The
American government would then be
called upon to protect her citizens
and in backing up their claim it would
necessarily have to support the con-
tention of Venezuela to the whole of
the disputed territory.
The scheme is too thin. These men
took the concession with the full
knowledge of their cloudy title and
must hold it subject to the termina-
ton of the dispute by and between the
two countries directly Interested
Citizens of the United States should
be protected at all times in the en-
joyment of their liberty AND their le-
gally acquired property, but when
they go away from home looking for
trouble they should be allowed to take
their own chances. This country need
not submit to imposition from Eng
land or any other country on the face
of the earth but she can not afford to
be plunged into costly foreign war
merely to protect the interests of a
few selfish spectators.
