Green Corn as a Market Crop.

While green corn cannot be made to
yield as large profit per acre as do some
other vegetables, yet considering the ease
with which it can be grown, the short
time it occupies the land. and the small
amount of fertility it takes from the soil,
it is a crop that should not be neglected
by the market gardner or trucker. 1t is
a crop tt at the dairyman can grow to
very great advantage, for the stalks
make as good food as if they were grown
specially for forage. AS fast as the ears
are taken off and marketed the stalks
can be used for soiling from day to day,
or cured for use later on
Many varieties of sugar corn are grown
in the Northern states that are not
adapted to the Southern climate While
there may be little difference in flavor,
there is no kind that is not good for
table use. Few farmers realize how many
stalks and consequently ears can be sat
isfactorily grown on an acre. Most of
our Southern growers, as a rule, are
afraid to risk more than one-half the
number of stalks that can be grown on
an acre. Consequently they do not get
more than one.h half the profit they should
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-01-09

reap from an acre of green corn. The
principal varieties that give the South
ern market gardner the best satisfaction
are Early Adams, Blounts Prolific, Penn
sylvania Flint and Tuscarora. There
are other kinds that can be used with
more or less success, but these four are
standbys that will not fail, If properly
cared for Instead of trying to have a
a succession of roasting ears by planting
one particular variety at stated inter
walls, it is much better to use two or three
kinds that ripen at different periods.
Three kinds are planted for the first
crop the latter part of February or early
in March, to be duplicated in May and
then repeated in July. This will fur
nish roasting ears from June until Sep
TENDER.
The land should be deeply plowed and
we'll harrowed--harrowing in all the
good manure that can reasonably be
afforded. Lay off rows with a pillow that
loosens the soil thoroughly, but does not
turn out much soil; drop three grains
every two and one-half feet, flirting a
little soil upon the seeds and putting the
foot squarely upon them, pressing them
into the soil. This is all that needs to
be done until the time arrives for the
first narrowing. If the soil be futed,

Of his trees and the quality and the sol
utility of his fruit. The scores his fruit
has made in the F Orida Horticultural
Socicty's exhibitions and the premiums
he has taken, are matters of record in
the archives of the society, while his
grove is one of the most visited in the
State and it's average condition is too

take the average analysis of Mr.. PHELPS
fruit as standard of the requirements
Of thin skinned, sweet, high favored

soil analysis of Mr.. @. w. Butler, it leads
us to some interesting conclusions.
These soil analysis figures are calcula-
ted to represent the number of pounds of
each ingredient in million pounds of
earth to foot depth, per acre, we have
1923 lbs. of potash, 1920 lbs. of phosphoric
acid and about 600 lbs of nitrogen. A
crop of 100000 oranges per acre, of the
average size of those analysed, at Is lbs.
per box, would yield $40 boxes, a not
unusual crop on large trees, and
these oranges would remove from
the top foot of soil to be transported
away from the ground 40 Sc lbs. of am
monia, Al. Sc lbs. of phosphoric acid and
263. 62 lbs Of potash, so that, allowing
nothing for increase in wood and foliage
and surprising the res capable of I'M
locking and appropriating every atom
of potash locked up by the clay, iron,
humus and silica of the soil, the supply
would last about one and one-fourth
years. Limb blight in such a case
would be but another name for potash
starvation.
In an off hand way there is consen-
sus OF opinion, or a public opinion
among intelligent orange growers by
which scientific facts and the facts of
experience have been sifted to pretty
accurate conclusions, and in an extern
slve acquaintance with gentlemen of
this class, have found an overwhelming
majority who believe in a complete,

there is German Kali potash trust or a

THE LUcERo's MANY TROUBLES
Charles Fair May Not Accept the
Yacht Built Here for Him.

After a voyage of nearly a month from
this port 10 the Golden Gate, the gaso-
line Yacht Lucero seems to stand fair
chance of being thrown on the hands
of her builder. Robert T. Engelbrecht.
OF this city So much adverse criticism
has been expended on the vessel. and
her trip from here to San Francisco was
unfortunately so prolonged, that it is
said Mr.. Fair is prejudiced against her
In regard 10 the delays on her voyage
down the Sound and down the Pacific
coast, her. builder, who was on board,
has this 10 say:
she was begun in June last and fin
ished in August at cost of $4,000. The
engines were supplied by a San Francisco
firm. and it was with them we had the
trouble off the Columbia river. The engi-
neer neglected TO oil the bearings. which
got into bad condition and stuck to-
gether. The Lucero was towed into port
and repairs had 10 be made our stop
at Port Townsend was due to the fact
that the yacht was not properly ballast
ed and the one at Port Angeles to stress
of weather.
after repairing at Portland we came
on 10 San Francisco without a hitch. and

in the United States. | secured the con-
tract because Mr.. Fair liked the model
and workmanship OF the boat which 1

Buckley"
The Lucero reached San Francisco on
Tuesday. and Mr.. EngeIbrecht tried 10
arrange for a trial trim or two in the
hay preparatory to a more extended test
1t is said that Mr.. Fairs friends refused
10 20 on board because they were alarm
ed by the rumors that had come to them
about the boat Whether Mr.. Fair was
Influenced by rumors or not. he declined
to say but when asked If he intended
TO accept the boat he evasively replied
why. she has not yet been rendered

This was on Wednesday evening. and
the same evening Mr.. Fair left for Eu-
rope. George a. knight. one Of his at
torneys, was asked If Mr.. Fair would
accept the boat when rendered. He was
also cvasive. He said The first thing

people on whom 10 serve summons. and
usually the other side does not give him
any help in the matter All l can say
is that Mr.. Fair Will live up to his con-
tract"
Mr.. Engelbrecht never doubted but that
the Young millionaire would accept the
yacht and stiii believes ne will do So
Mr. Fair paid out $5.605 on account Of the
vessel. which altogether cost about 500.

tract IS that the Lucero should be COM
