A Fertilizer for Oabbages.

One of the most successful truck farm
ers near Charleston, Mr.. w G. Geraty,
made an experiment last year with nj
trate Of soda which ought to be Of great
value to all engaged in raising cabbages
Mr.. Geraty had regu ariy used on his
cabbage crop 1900 pounds Of Excelsior
fertilizer canal! zing per cent ANN onia,
8 per cent phosphoric acid and 7 per
cent potash), and 1000 pounds of cotton
seed meal. The meal was broadcasted
and narrowed in, while LOCO pounds Of
the fertilizer was used in drills, and 500
pounds as top dressing when the heads
were forming. But last year he tried
the experiment on one acre using, in
place of the fertilizer, as top dressing,
500 pounds Of nitrate of soda. The eff
feet was magical. Within three days
the difference in the foliage could be
distinctly seen, the nitrate making it a
much richer, darker green. The heads
on this acre were ready to cut much
earlier, and we're at least one-third lar
ger than those treated in the usual way.
Ills average yield per acre on the field
that received no nitrate was 326 crates,
while the acre upon which the nitrate
was used gave him 400 cratas. AS the
crates netted him ST. each, the use of
this 500 pounds of nitrate in place of the
fertilizer gave profit of over $40 per
acre. The moral seems to be that cab
bages want about all the nitrogen they
can get, and they want it in form in
which it can be used quickly.

trees, ard he has taken steps to guard
the Jamaica trees against possible con-
tamination.
Nobody in Florida knows Of any dis
e .se from which the orange trees Of
that State are suffering. 1t is a fact
that thousands of them that were alive
and Furnishing year ago are as dead as
Julius Caesar now. They were frozen
to death, but cold is not an infectious nor
contagious disease. The trees that were
not hurt by the cold are as healthy and
vigorous as if they never experienced an
exceptionally low temperature, and the
oranges they will produce this year will
be the finest in the world; that is to say,
typical Florida oranges.
1t is probably the case that the Florida
orange trees are the victims Of something
Germany said not long ago made Ameri-
can beef Wholesome for consum ption in
Germany. Millions Of Americans were
eating it at the time, and found it very
good and healthful food The trouble with
it appears to have been that it was better
than the German product, and could be
sold at a less price, hence the fever"
story and the prescription. Florida
oranges are better than the Jamaica
oranges, and the Governor of that island
may be fearful that if he were to allow
the importation of Florida trees and
fruit, 1T would give Florida oranges a
boom, to the injury of the native fruit
That is one way of looking at it, and
no other reasonable explanation of ia
malca's hostility to Florida orange trees
is apparent just now. The Governor is
certainly not afraid the importation of
the trees would infect the island with
cold waves and chilblains. Savannah

Moving to Florida.

From informa alton that was learned
yesterday it is probable thac Florida
will see a number Of Georgia truck
growers moving to this State within the
next few months. The reason assigned
is that the climate of FLORIDA is such
that Georgia growers cannot compete
with those in this State, the latter being
able to market their produce from one
to two weeks earlier than those near
Savannah.
A gentleman from Marion county
stated yesterday that L. M. RyalS of
Savannah had completed contract by
which he would at once move to Orange
Lake, in Marion county, and engage in
truck growing on a thoroughly new and
scientific scale. Mr.. Ryals is now
large truck grower near Savannah, and
his acreage is such that he frequently
markets 1000 barrels of potatoes in
single day. His move to this State will
be followed by other large growers, for
whom he IS acting as an advance agent.
He holds options on from 600 to 700
acres of the finest vegetable and farming
lands in Marion county >.z:
Mr.. Rysls will bring with him his
own mules, wagons, and implements of
all kinds. His action is roglrdod g

A aove4 accident occurred in the High
Springs phosphate region recently. In
this district there are many natural
wells, some of which are seventy feet in
depth. When conveniently located, they
are used to supply the employees of the
phosphate mines. A few days ago g,
NJ gro employed at buttons phosphate
mine, which is under the Superintend-
ENJOY of n. A. Collision, was sent for a
bucket Of water. The pipe is located
near the we'll, which is about forty feet
deep. The negro did not ju lge his dis
tance correctly in the dark, and stumbled
into the well. He was hurled down the
until hemade a landing on rock edge,
about foot square. In making the de-
scent, he was knocked from one side to
the other, and this greatly lessened the
velocity of the fall. The negro'S screams
were scarcely audible at the top, but
were heard by one Of his brother en-
rloyees, who went to his rescue. The
only in jury he received was a cut in his
head, which did no injury to the skull.

Farm and Garden Notes,

under certain conditions. The culture
is the same as for spring crop, and the
principal thing to insure success is to
have seed Of the Florida-grown crop of
the previous spring well sprouted be ore
planting. Unless you have or can OBJ
tain such stock for seed we would ad-
wise you to let the fall potato planting
alone unless you are in a section where
you can mature a crop in January. The
Tennessee-grow potatoes now on the
market will not, if planted now. germi-
nate for at least two months. If you have
not saved small seed potatoes yourself,
or are unable to obtain them from
neighbors, it is doubtful whether you
can obtain them elsewhere, as we know
of no seed house that handles them.
For sand or hammock lands The trench
system of planting should be used; for
moist muck lands the hill system is
best.
This is the month when the greater
part of the fall garden must be planted.
had from oranges, ETC., everyone should
have family garden; and by the term
family garden we mean a good assort-
ment, and not the little dabs Of turnip,
mustard, radish, and Ca bbage that have
heretofore been called, through courtesy,
family garden. With the exception
of melons, pumpkins and eggplant, all of
the garden vegetables can be successfully
grown in most parts of Florida in the
fall. One who has not tried good large
family garden cannot appreciate how
great help a good garden is in reduc-
ing the expense Of living. and at the
same time it gives you better living,
than to buy canned stock from the store,
even if you have the money to do it with,
and from what we know, but few of our
people have the cash.
1t has been said recently by one Of our
agricultural papers that the man who
fails to make all the hay or forage nee
essary to feed his stock this coming year
deserves to be poor and "hard up" Is
it not equally true of the man who will
not provide his family this coming year
with all the fresh egetables, that form
so great part Of our diet?
Many Of our market gardening readers
are taking very discouraging view as
to vegetable crops for market in view Of
the disastrous prices realized last season.
There is no question as to the fact that
the freight rates are too high and should
be reduced to give the grower a larger
share of the proceeds. But rates of
freight did not have anything to do with
it. These are the facts to consider in
connection with it: The freeze of Dec
ember 28th practically wiped out the
large acreage of cabbage, onions and
other seml-hardy vegetable crops that
are planted each fail. This acreage, and
it was large one, was forced into spring
crops such as beans, squash, cucumber
and tomatoes in addition to the usual
acreage of these crops, and an extra
acreage from orange growers who were
trying to recuperate. In connection
with this came one of the most favorable
seasons of growth that Florida has ever
seen, and the production was immense.

produced in Lake county this year than
ever before. The farmers of the county
are in fair way to become self support
ing and independent, Notwithstanding
the loss Of their orange crops. Yet we
believe ma jorlJy Of them do not live up
to their opportunities We are pleased
to see the annually increasing acreage of
corn and the general success that attends
It's cultivation, yet there are other crops
that may be grown with equal success,
and perhaps with greater profit, and
these should not be lost sight Of
1t has been repeatedly demonstrated
that rice can be as successfully grown
here as in other states, and at fair
profit, and being staple article of food,
there is far less risk of loss from f1uctua-
ton in price.
Although much Of the land in Lake
county is we'll adapted to raising oats.
thousands of bushels have heretofore
been i'm ported annually. Can there be
any reasonable excuse for this? If there
ever was plausible reason we believe
that it no longer exists
There was time in the history Of this
portion of Florida when large amount
Of cotton was grown. In a majority Of
cases the crop was hauled many miles,
by OK teams, over rough roads to the St,
Johns river, in order to get it to market,
there being in those days no other line of
transportation. Our lands are as we'll
were, and facilities for marketing the
crops are not lacking. 1t may be claimed
that the margin for profit in cotton is
small. It is quite true, but it is also true
that there is far less uncertainty in it
than in many crops grown here, which,
from their perlshable nature, are fire.
Quently thrown upon tie markets iI
such quantities as to cause gluts and con
sequent loss to the grower. Such will
probably never be the case with cotton.
Cassava, a crop that has only been
tried by few of our farmers, and that
only as a stock food, has proven so sue
cessl ul that it may be ranked among the
best crops grown in the State. Too much
cannot be said in its favor as food pro-
duct for man and beast. Its Dutritive
and fattening properties are even greater
than the sweet potato, while the Yield
is much greater than any other root crop
grown in the United States. 1t may be
grown easily and cheaply, on ain ost any
kind of soil, and with little, if any, fer
tilizer. The chief property of tie cas-
sava root is starch, IN which it is very
rich. If our farmers would give suff-
cient attention to cassava to warrant it.,
we have no doubt that the manufacture
Of starch would soon become one of our
prominent and permanent industries.
We might enumerate many other
crops that can be grown here with sue
cess, but these will suffice for the pres
ent. OF the crops above mentioned, for
every acre now grown there should be
hundreds. Our farmers have demon
strated their ability to make living I'M
