The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-01-02
CORN CULTURE IN FLORIDA.

We have always contended that the
orange growers of this State should
raise corn, and more corn. The disas-
trous freeze of last Friday we hope will
convince others Of the wisdom of placing
their eggs in different baskets. Some
would-be philosopher contends that the
best plan is to put all of the eggs in one
basket All the watching possible Fri
day night would not have prevented the
orange crop from freezing. And we
say, diversity, plant corn and anything
else that will grow and yield profit.
Mr.. Irving Keck, prominent orange
grove farmer of Polk county, believes in
corn, and has made success of corn
culture. He gives his experience and
methods in communication to the Far
mer and Fruit Grower, which we repro
duce herewith for the benefit of our
readers. Mr., Keck says:
Ny method has been called for and
while do not claim it is the best or can

numbers as to keep veritable Niagara
of hard cash-ready money-fowing
out from the purses Of packers and
shippers into the pockets of western
farmers, and this enormous quantity
of pork has been produced at such
comparatively small cost that almost
every pound of it has been sold-even
through the very worst of the financial
cyclone-at an actual profit to the
producer Can this be said of any
other variety of live stock or of any
crop of grain that has been on sale
during this same Notwithstanding
period?
The simple fact is that the farmers
" the west who live i'll sections where
the corn crop never fails, and rarely
falls below an everage yield, have in
this field of pork production a business
which in their hands is surrounded by
SO many outstanding advantages that
they can safely challenge the competi-
ton of the world. Myriad acres Of
land elsewhere can contribute towards
swelling the volume of cattle, sheep
and horses: India, Russia and Argen-
tine can grow wheat so cheaply and in
such quantities as to fairly ruin the
American farmer who attempts to COM
pete, but the sun does not shine On any
land that produces the hogs own
feed-Indian corn--in such lavish
abundance, that has such perfect trans
portation and market facilities, such adj
mirable packing plants, as these central
western states. The hog is the one re-
liable money-maker, the ''rent-payer,
the "bread-winner," the mortgage
LITTER par excellence of the corn
states. He may make more money for
his owner some years than others; he
may be overtaken at times by disease,
but in the long run he always pays
handsome profit in any corn-growing
district. Other countries may grow
pigs" in comparatively small num-
bers, but nowhere outside of the United
States can hogs making such astonish-
ing weights at such an early age be
produced in such enormous numbers at
such light cost. Only two weeks ago
there were over 100000 head bon0h'

THOUSANDS of boxes of frozen fruit
will be rushed North during the next week or ten
days, and we fear the shipper will find it a
loosing game. If the health authorities OF the
Northern cities allow it to enter it is hardly pos
sible that it will sell for enough to pay expenses
of packing and transportation. ard they will
likely be called upon to foot bill for freight

in part, if not entirely, that portion of
the orange crop remaining on the trees,
aggregating between two and three
million boxes, and representing about as
many dollars to the orange growers.
Advices from nearly every section CT
the State are to the effect that the tenn
perature went as low as from thirteen
to eighteen degrees, according to the
elevations and exposures of the various
localities. Of course fruit could not
withstand this cold, and as consequence,
t is frozen and ruined. There may be-,
.owever, a few localities in the State
.ortunate enough to have adequate water

it is doubtful, however, and IN any event
these localities are few and far between.
The vegetable and pineapple growers
are also afflicted. The crops of the lat
jer are reported a total loss, and while
full information has not been received
as to damage done pineapples, it is
feared they Jared but little or if any
better.
To attempt to preach consoling
sermon now would be futile. Our people
feel their loss keenly; the brightest pros
poets eyer before them have been blighted
in a night. Of course they under
stand that the loss of crop is passible
contingency of any and all agricultural
and horticultural pursuits. They know
the farmers of every section lose crops
by drouth, insects and floods oftener
that they do by frosts. This knowledge
may be consoling, for it is said that
misery loves company, if this is true

The orange growers of Florida are as
brave and energetic as any people on
earth The loss of one crop will not dis
hearten them. They will bear their
loss phisolophically and grid their loins
for greater efforts. The freeze of '86
was even more damaging to them than
that of last week, still their efforts were
not in the least relaxed. Already we
have news of the vegetable growers pre-
pairing to plant another crop, and the
orange growers will submit with as good
grace as possible to the inevitable, and
continue the good work of producing
the finest fruit on earth.
