Florida Sugar in 1880.

A lot of sugar has recently been
brought to this market from Homes
Valley, in our i'm mediate vicinity, which
we feel assured would not suffer by a
comparison with the first quality of
New Orleans sugar. Considerable avid
ity was shown to obtain this article, aud
is was readily disposed of at eight cents,
which is an advance on the New Orleans
prices. A considerable portion of this
years crop of sugar, as we are informed.
still remains to be brought to market
from Homes Valley and other sections
of this country convenient to this place.
And an opportunity is hereby offered of
opening an intercourse which will be
mutually advantageous, since the Pensa-
cola merchant might afford to pay more
than the market price at New Orleans
and yet get the article cheaper than he
now does, as one heavy freight and all
the attendant charges would thereby be
saved.-Tallahasse paper, March 1880

Florida Tobacco.

The Tampa Times says: ''The sue
cess of large proportion of the expert
mental paintings of tobacco in Florida
this year has fully demonstrated that it
can be made successful crop in this
state. What is the very best soil, and
what is the best method of treating and
curing, remain yet to be determined.
The relative value of the product as
compared to Havana has yet to be as
certained, but enough is known to give
assurance that the culture of the weed
can be made profitable" The success
of tobacco culture in Florida was clearly
demonstrated long previous to the Civil |
war Gadsden county in 1849 produced |
776, III pounds, and in 1860 about 1900.
900 pounds. The superior quality of
the Florida tobacco was long since rec,
ognized by manufacturers.

Poison for Grasshoppers.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
While object to the use OF poisons
for grasshoppers as stated in my previous
letter Still as some cases may make it
imperative to use it, | would like to
have you state that the California re-
ceipt you give is by no means new dis
covery. 1t has been In use for years
However there is no reason for using
such a quantity of arsenic. 1t is so
virulent that in the receipt you give ten
pounds would be sufficient instead of
twenty-five and l have no doubt that
five pounds would be plenty. But even
using fifteen pounds less is quite saw
ing.
After using this mixture be careful to
clean the finger nails. The arsenic m ay
cause fostering. CHAs. L. MANN.

Horticulture in Belgium.

horticulture IN Belgium.
The United States Consul at Client,
Belgium, recently made an interesting
req ort on horticulture in that country.
He says that large portion Of the
million dollars worth Of plants, seeds
and bulbs that are imported Into the
United States from Europe every year
come from Belgium where horticulture
has been made special study for several
centuries.
Each center of horticulture may be
said to have it's specialties Erfurt and
Quidlenburg are famous for seeds,
Dresden and Leipsic for azaleas and
camellias; Berlin for lilies of the valley;
Hamburg for azaleas an palms, Paris
for roses and lilacs, Orleans and Anglers
for shrubs and fruits; Boshoops (Hol-
land) for it's arboriculture, and Client
for azaleas, palms and araucarias.
Numerous societies Of amateurs exist
throughout Belgium for the promotion
of the interests of horticulture. The
most important organization of this kind
at Client is the Royal Society of Agri-
culture and Botany. 1t was founded in
the latter part of 1903, and opened it's
first exposition in February, 1909, with
thirty plants. The little inn garden of
that day has been replaced by building
Of large dimensions, constructed In 1885,
and subsequently enlarged.
1t may be of interest to note that there
are in Belgium twenty-five important
and fifteen smaller societies of horti
culture and botany. The total mem ber-
ship approximates $4,000. Their an
uaI fees amount to $4,000, expended
annually to promote this science. There
are a dozen great floral expositions an
nually held in Belgium, and prizes
amounting to $500 are yearly distributed.
Finally, all these various societies are
united in a national organization known
as the Federation d'Horticulture de
Belgique. This organization holds an,
nual conventions and publishes series
of "bulletinS" in the nature of reports
of it's proceedings.
The government has for long time
contributed generously to the support of
agricultural and horticultural science,
which has become national study.
There are two government schools of
agriculture-one at Gembloux, the other
at Huy, Two schools of horticulture
likewise are under state management,
but subsidized by the national govern
ment. They receive annual donations
upon the condition of teaching the
course of studies prescribed by the state
and granting diplomas only after an ex-
animation under supervision of the
authorities,
Instruction in the principles of agri-

culture is also given in all the more i'm
portant garrisons, so that after his per-
lod of service the peasant youth may re-
turn home with knowledge sufficient
to enable him to lntelligently till the
fields.
Turning from the question of horti-
cultural education and the business Of
horticulture the Consul shows that the
number of horticultural esta blishments
at Client and in it's suburbs is 800. There
are 1856 lighthouses, with 1926, 500
square feet of glass roofing. The total
space occupied by cultivation amounts
to 1881 acres. There are some twenty
very large establishments. they have
seventy to seventy-two lighthouses each.
Concerning the capital invested, accurate
statistics do not exist. The estimates
vary from 81, 100000 to SIS, OOO,O 900.
The Importance of the export trade
with the United States may be seen
from the following table, which shows
the exports of plants from the consular
district of Client:

The past week has been broken one in com.

Christmas. The numerous failures that are

markets of the United Kingdom, according to
yesterdays advices received by A. r. Fowler,
REPRESENTING Simons, Shuttlewcrth & Co. of
Liverpool, have been overstocked, and the fruit
has been in bad condition, it being difficult to
sell at anything like decent price. AS the
shipments have dropped from 10000 bbls to
30 900 bbls per week. and from there to 10000
