kainit, and 400 to 600 pounds of muriate
of potash.
The ammonia IN cotton seed meal or
in nitrate of soda gives fine plant
growth. The phosphoric acid in acid
phosphate or dissolved bone aids the
plant growth and enters in a consid-
cradle degree in the formation of the
fruit. The potash in kainit or muriate
of potash while promo ting plant growth
enters in very large degree indeed in
the making of the fruit or berry.
Stable manure on any rich fresh land
will make as firm plant growth as one
can wish to see; and after, very good
crops of berries can be grown thus. But
heavy crops of the finest berries or fruit
of any kind can be grown only when the
great desideratum, potash is supplied in
quantities commensurate with the de-
mand; and yearly heavy cropping calls
for q yearly heavy supply, if there is to
be no falling off in yield.

Dlscouraging.
Kittrell, N. C.
Editor Florida A Agriculturist:


To sum up the situation in brief, and
yet with the least possible measure of
gloom or complaining, there is no escap-
ing the conclusion that fruit and vege-
table growing in Florida is attended
with much of discouragement. Twice
in less than ten years has the frost de-
stroyed about all our garden crops and
we'll nigh half the orange trees.
Hundreds of thousands of boxes Of
the trees and the best of efforts to avoid
such calamity are seemingly useless
In view of these facts, Mr.. Editor, are
we not called upon to carefully consider
whether some other line or lines of hus-
bandry should not receive our foremost
attention
1t is true we may look upon these
disasters in the light Of lessons and
gather useful knowledge therefrOm. We
may count the growing of oranges, of
plneapples, of garden truck as a matter
of experiment and seek to console our
selves in this way. However we may
choose to look at the matter, the fact
still remains that this whole business is
very discouraging. 1t is somewhat as
if we expended dollar to get eighty
cents worth Of products.
Now, in all sober reason how long
shall we pursue this game of chance and
take the risks to get dollar back for
the dollar necessarily first expended :?
Only three days ago met an acquaint-
ance groaning inwardly about how he
should meet his fertilizer bill due in a
few weeks, his crops nearly all destroyed
and they looked so promising up to the
time of the frost coming. This man
has very good, little farm; is very in
dustrious, sober, prudent and skillful,

yet in good season, can Cnly meet his
necessary expenses.
His inquiries of, What shall | do
What can do ?were painful to me; for
we'll did know he had done his best
and was completely discouraged.
Having travelled over the same road a
little time ahead, | could understand
fully just how he felt and could only
answer him by saying. Be of good cour-
age and 10 not despair.
Not a few have expressed themselves
in this way-they think it will work
good in lessening the quantity of or
anges grown so that better prices may
be obtained for what will be put on the
m arket for quite time to come.
This has but poor consolation in it;for
next time a heavy frost comes it may
ruin those it left this time. Besides
| this, the vegetable grower hardly knows
" neither it is wiser to plant and risk the
| frost or not to plant for winter cropping.
| 1t is too late now to begin anew to
plant much of garden stuff, it will come
only week or two ahead Of Savannah
stuff and scarcely pay any profit under
the present outlook. Some crops, like
potatoes, beans ETC., may be tried with
good show for success.
But, viewed as a country suited for
early vegetables and citrus fruits from
which to obtain livelihood, it is too un-
certain for a reasonable dependence.
Repeated efforts have been made to pre-
serve oranges so that the fruit could be
gathered early in December, but up to
the present time no well-knOwn means of
preservation has been discovered which
is deemed worthy of general adoption
Pineapple covering has been resorted to
and is a signal failure upon all such oc
casiOns.
Vegetable growing has no remedy but
replanting, and replanting after Jan. is
not far away from delusion.
However uninviting may seem the
idea of growing citrus fruits or yege-
tables, or pines for shipment to North
ern markets, there is no question as to
the possibility of their being grown here
for home use, with other useful home
required products.
AS home land, Florida has not really
suffered very much by this late frost,
for the best home lands in the world are
where sharp frosts often come. But
our efforts to pose as a sort of tropical
paradise is complete failure.
Let us turn over a new leaf and dis
miss the idea that our State is favored
above all her sister states. We may be
freer from frosts, we may be free from
snow and have less of chilling storms;
we may have a shorter winter time and
more of mild weather; we may have
more even temperature and more clear
skies than any of our sister states, but
while rea ping some advantage over Them
we still have chilly winds and hard
