are to be reduced ten per cent The adj

course as most other employers of labor;
makes the cut on those who receive the
smallest salaries. In this instance it
makes show Of economy without ac-
tually saving much money. A ten per
cent reduction on some $4,000 or $4,000
salaries would amount to something.

| A lnurmuring is beginning to arise
from Populist women more particularly
perhaps that the boys at the state reform
school are badly treated. A woman who
has been prominent in suffrage and
! charity work and who has visited the
institution frequently declares that the
boys have not the comforts of life.
1t is generally regarded by people
who have no knowledge of the circum-
stances as an industrial school. alt is
nothing of the sort" she adds, "The boys
are taught only what they are compelled
to do and the school is of the very lowest
grade. There is no place there to learn
a trade and become useful They are
compelled to work in the garden, raise
vegetables and do other things that will
bring the state in money. Last year
the school turned in over $4,000 to the
state treasury.
"Fhe boys are compelled to keep the
front lawn in excellent condition for the
sight of visitors, but when the play time
comes they are sent off into the back lot
where there are no flowers and little grass.
They are never allowed in the conserva-
tory. They are fed on salt pork, while
the attendants and employees have good
wholesome food.
"a boy who was released after four
months there told me that they beat the
boys there terribly for little things, using
rubber hose, rawhide or a two-inch
strap and strike on the bare skin with
terrific force. He said two teachers
once took turns in whipping one little
boy and another was given $50 ticks with
rawhide for running away. Another
has had ball and chain on for six weeks
for the same offense. The offense the
boys are whipped for most is the
nse of tobacco, though most all the offic-
ers use it openly"

their power to add to the sentence of the
inmates at will for small misdemeanors.

sort of an investigation. Many children

FLORIDA LAWS AGAINST US.

Since the freeze the tenor of pressdom
is to urge the people to plant quick
growing crops, fodder crops, in fact any
thing that will help tide over the period
of waiting for the orange and lemon
trees to bear This is very good advice,
and the AeRICULTUR1sT has not been
back ward in giving it, and has urged
and still urges that every effort that can
be made in this line should be made.
1t is possible to go into our pine forest,
deaden the timber, break up the land
and raise crop the first year; but can
the growers who have lost nearly ev-
erything do even this? 1t would seem
so at first. Let us see. The land can
be had for So per acre per year, provided
he has none of his own that he can use.
That is not much. TO deaden an acre
another ST.; to break it up So more or SIS
per acre to put the soil in shape to plant.
Now, right here is where the laws of
Florida do not help it's citizens. In order
to raise crop on that land it has to be
fenced with a hog-proof fence which is a
costly piece of work-at least 1Otm eS as
much as it cost to pay rent and get the
land so it can be planted. The law pro-
tects the lean. lank, fiea-breeding razor
back 1t says these sweet creatures
shall roam at large and can root up and
devour the potatoes Of the poor farmer,
they can enter the cornfield, help them
selves to the roasting ears or mature grain
of the crop, and if the farmer dare raise
his hand to smite the destroyer he lays
himself amenable to the law. He can
be put to the cost and trouble of appear
ing in court, fined and imprisoned for
protecting the crops that were to give
food to his wife and children, and
all on account of a miserable razor
back that if killed and sold in the
market would not bring s. per head.
Where are our senators and representa-
tives that they should allow such laws to
remain on our statute books, which de-
clare that the hog is better than it's Cit
liens? Danish the hogs to the pens or
swamps and make the owner liable for
any damage that they may do, and give
the farmer chance to raise crops that
he may keep lite and happiness for his
family without having to expend more
money than the crops are worth to pro
tect them from batch of hogs that are
not worth, all told, onefourth of what
the fence COST There is nothing that
will so tire the patience Of farmer or
come so near making him loose all the
religion he has, as an old razor 'ack with
litter of pigs. Thus the hog is des-
tined to ruin not only the poor farmers
but their religion. We must save the

Cane at Runnymede, Florida.

O1u0 AAOuO' l.
In DIR. Wiley's report to Secretary
Morton of the results of the experiments
in cane culture at RunDymede, Fla, as
given in the report Of the Secretary of
Agriculture for 1898, the capability of
the pine lands for growing cane is re-
ferred to. DR.. Wiley says that millions
of acres of these lands in the State of
Florida, where the climate is suited to
the growth of sugar cane, have hereto
fore been supposed to have little or no
value for this purpose, while the results
obtained at Runnymede have now led to
the belief that these lands are quite
valuable for tnis purpose 1t is an inter-
esting fact that although these lands lie
only few feet higher than the peat or
muck lands bordering the lakes, yet
their physical chara cteristics and rate
of radiation is so slow during the cool
nights that frost is rarely known to
attack even the tenderest vegetables on
them, while it has often killed similar
vegetables in muck lands. This state
ment is also true of sugar cane. While
the sugar cane in muck lands is fire.
quently frost-bitten and in a few in
stances has been killed, no such damages
nave ever been noticed on cane grown
on pine lands. All this leads to the be-
lief that the season for the manufacture
of sugar from cane grown on these lands
can be Indefinitely prolonged. 1t can
also be postponed in the winter until
such time as the canes shall reach their
maximum content of sugar. With the
muck lands in this part of the State such
postponement would sometimes be
attended with danger, although in muck
soils lying hundred miles further South
such danger does not exist. The sandy
soils at Runnymede appear to be pure
sand. They do not contain sufficient
amount of vegetable matter to give
them the dark color which is found in
hammock lands. They have apparently
nall quantities of mineral plant food,
and yet with only moderate degree of
fertilization with the necessary mineral
and organic matters excellent cane is
grown, yielding from ten to twelve tons
per acre and containing, as analyses
have shown, as high as 194 per cent of
sugar. These canes are shorter, stouter,
harder and harder than the canes
grown in muck lands.
In muck lands the chief trouble has
been the deficient drainage. DR.. Wiley
considers it demonstrated that the sys-
tenn of open bitches thus far adopted is
totally inadequate to free the soil from
water during the immense rainfall
which occurs from May to October. The
canes make excellent growth at first and
until the excess of heavy rains, give
every promise of magnificent harvest.
After the setting in of the rainy season
they begin to diminish in vitality and
perish before reaching maturity. For
the experiments during the coming year
it is proposed to remedy the drainage by
he use of tiles

WHAT FLORIDA CAN Do.

WHAT FLORIDA CAN Do.
The cotton planters of the South are
face to face with the problem Of over
production. The orange growers of
Florida have been struggling with the
same problem, but the freeze has solved
it, and now the problem is what to pro-
duce to take the place of oranges.
In some of the Southern states tobacco
culture is taking the place of cotton
growing. The land in Florida planted
in tobacco averages about 500 per acre.
In ather states the farmers well satisfied
to raise bale of cotton, worth less than
S25, on two acres. This is less than
$3.50 per acre. An acre III tobacco in
Florida is equal to many acres in cotton
or corn in any other state of the Union.
Cane is as profitable in Florida as to-
bacco. No other state can be found that
has two field crops that pay as we'll as
Florida's cane and tobacco
Rich as this state is in the production
of these two crops; it has done more in
the production of vegetables. In this
line results have been accomplished
which are simply dazzling and, though
in some instances the results are not iav
orable, the splendid success which has
attended many shows what can be done
in Florida in the way of vegetable grow
ing by those who npurSue the best
methods.
Then we have jute and ramie and pal
far as the United States are concerned,
each is almost a monopoly. Then Or
anges, lemons, pineapples, bananas,
grapefruit, guavas, and other tropical
fruits belong to Florida alone of all the
states east of the Rocky mountains.
For several years to come Florida will
not produce the orange crops of the past.
Even now, however, it is by no means
sure that there will be less money to the
growers from oranges in the future than
in the past. For several years the
growers have not been receiving much,
if any, more than 10 per cent profit out
of the price paid for oranges by the con-
sumner. Picking, packing, fertilizing,
transportation and other expenses have
eaten up nine-tenths of the price. If
the freeze, by reducing the orange out
put, doubles it's price where the grower
has heretofore. received only.1O per cent
of the old price, he will now receive,
clear, more than 1O0"per cent of it, and
expenses will be more than paid out of
the increase. If only 25 per cent of the
orange trees bear next year that bore
last year the growers will get as much
money from their product as they would
if there had been no freeze.
And now that Providence has reduced
our orange acreage to paying basis lets
keep it there. Florida produces too
many things to devote attention to one
to such an extent as will glut the mar
kets. She can produce more of or
anges or lemons or bananas or pine
apples than the world uses. She Can
