ready been mentioned in these columns.
His fields and barns have been visited
by various tobacco men with wide ex-
perience in handling the weed, and the
quality of the tobacco grown in every
instance pronounced to be equal to any
produced in any of the tobacco growing
sections Of the country. 1t has been es-
timated to be worth all the way from %
to 30 cents per pound.
Mr.. Saxon is highly gratified with his
success SO far, and in conversation with
the writer few days ago remarked:
"The only further experiment. to be
made is the m marketing of the crop. This
done, and we have plain facts and fig
ures from which the farmers of this
county can draw their own deductions.
| am satisfied as to what the result will
be-" Continuing, he said that he had
harvested and cured 1000 pounds to the
acre. The cultivation of the crop he
declares, from planting to harvesting,
has not cost him more than $50 per acre,
and he figures that if he sells for fifteen
cents a pound "a low estimate) he will
be clear gamer of 500 to the acre, or
$4,000 on his twenty acre experiment
farm.
Mr.. Saxon does not expect to stop at
demonstrating to the farmers the prac-
ticability of growing tobacco here as a
money crop, but will 60 further. By the
time of planting another crop he expects
to complete arrangements whereby he
can guarantee to them a ready market
right here at home for every pound Of
tobacco produced, as soon as it is cured
and brought to town. -Tallahasseean.

A Ramie Experiment.

A MicAnopy, correspondent of the
Citizen writes that paper as follows:
l send you herewith a sample of ramie
fibre that has been in my possession
twenty-five years. Age has somewhat
dimmed it's luster, but this is sufficient
to show it's fineness and applicability to
the various uses to which it is put by
the manufacturer. In 1870, after read
ing many articles in the newspapers of
that day, [ wrote for cuttings to a party
in New Orleans. This fibre was sent as
a sample. The cuttings were planted
on an old garden spot of moderate fer
Utility. The cuttings, were in length
about two feet, after the manner Of cut
ting seed cane. Every eye sent up a
stalk, vigorous and of rapid growth.
Every year the old stubble matured
rapidly, and soon there were clusters or
stalks of several hundred to the hill,
ranging from six to ten feet in height.
Finding there was then no market for it,
for the want of proper machinery for
its manufacture, | abandoned it's further
culture. My experience at that time
convinced me that it was an easy and
sure crop, and very profitable one,
with a nearby market. I would gladly
60 into it's cultivation as a money crop
in Florida with the assurance of a
ready purchaser, as it is taken from the
field.

Can Them.

Florida editors have long discussed the
question of establishing canning fac
tories in this State. Time and again,
exhaustive reports of the profits of the
canning industry and ables showing
the cost of machinery, etc., have been
published.
few of the more enterprising COM
munities of the State have accepted these
reports as presenting information for
them individually, and are adding to
the wealth of their citizens by means of
factories.
Now that factory for the manu-
facture of glass jars is to be estab.
lished in this State, one of the greatest
items of expense in the business will be
lessened. The factory will be able
to sell jars to Florida customers, less
exorbitant freight rates.
While there may be no great fortune
to be gained from canning factory, it
remains true that, wherever one is con-
Quoted, it gives steady employment, for
a part of the year at least, to number
who would, probably, otherwise not be
employed; namely, to women and girls
of the neighborhood. Of the probable
profits, the Tampa Times remarks as
follows;
1t is not as way of making big money
out of the investment that this subject
should be considered, but as a means OF
giving steady employment at living
wages to the multitude Of people who
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-09-11

will be needed to raise the raw materials
for the capneries, and to save the rotting
on the ground of which great complaint
is heard. Canneries will use up all the
surplus and will make bedrock cash
price somewhat about the cost OF pro-
duction. When they shall have been
sprinkled plentifully over the state there
will be constant competition between
the Gamer and shipper, with the result
of steady prices to the grower. We will
hear of no more consignments at loss.
Dade county has a canning factory.
Guava jelly and marmalade are the
chief materials prepared. The proprie-
tor informs us he will manufacture this
year two Thousand cases of these. And
he ships all he can prepare to one firm
alone, in New York! This firm would
take twice or three times as much, posi-
bly, more than this, if he could get
them!
The proprietor of the Dade county
cannery pays Use per bushel, delivered,
for fruit. We understand that forty
acres of guavas, at fifty cents per bushel,
would net the grower $4,000 per anum.
This Is as good as an orange grove and
just as sure. And the growers market
is at his doors!
The Times. u MON remarked recently:
Freight charges are so high that it
would be we'll for the fruit-growers of
Florida to provide for the needs Of the
State for the whole year, and not simply
during the fruit season. This can be
done only by building of canning fac
tories that would supply the home
market with canned fruits, and not
necessitate the shipping of so large a
part of the crop to distant markets.
Floridians might grow almost every
home necessity; then van vegetables,
meats and fruits that would last them
the entire nongrowing geason. This
would keep their money at home and
make them independent of the railroads,
the monopolists and the commission
men.-Juno Sun.
