not far off when weather forecasts will

Believes in Hicks.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida AgriculturiSt:
l noticed the remarks in your editorial
about Hicks. I think you take the
wrong view of Hicks and his forecasts.
Mr.. Hicks is well read and informed
man, and las made astronomy special
study, and Is able to follow all the
changes and the courses Of the nearest
and most important planets, and his
studies and observations are all fixed
upon scientific principles, and there is no
reason to doubt the possibility of a
chart being made upon scientific prin-
ciples that will and can be of great help
to educated and reasonable thinking
men.
That Mr.. Hicks has and will make
mistakes is reasonable to suppose; that
he has made some remarkable predic-
tions cannot be denied, and a. ain every
one that reads his Word and Works and
his almanac, no matter in what part
of the globe or territory, thinks it means
them and the place they live in, when in
fact he has made no such assertion.
If through studying and observing the
changes of planets are such as to war
rant a disturbance in the elements, he
notes the cause and can give pretty
accurate calculation whether it will
strike our earth or pass by it, the dis
turbance may come very near us and yet
miss us entirely; but we will suppose
some trifing change in the atmosphere
should help to direct the current from
its course Mr.. Hicks would not be re-
sponsible for the change; and, again, it
is not possible that his predictions are
meant to cover the whole of America and
Europe combined; but that in most of

of the order Araliaceae. It was in an
early day the only sure money crop in
Illinois, where the ginseng season was
looked forward to eagerly by those who
had no other crop that would sell for
ready money. Furs and pelts could be
exchanged for many of the necessaries
of life, but it required cold cash to settle
taxes and buy groceries. Why cannot

in Florida. 1t is native of moist woods
in Virginia and the Carolinas, and from
there northeast to Canada and north
west over a vast extent of territory.
Florida fiat woods and bays, after being
drained, would no doubt produce it in
profusion.
Large quantities OF dried ginseng are
annually exported to China and Japan,
commanding from $3.50 to 81 per pound
according to the statement of the
secretary of agriculture, in his report
published in 1894. It is feared that the
rapid expectation of American ginseng
to the Chinese market will exhaust the
natural supply.
The secretary of agriculture says that
"the division of botany has, in pursu-
ance of general plan to definitely as
certain the real utility of ginseng
culture, made arrangements for collect
ing and digesting all the available infor-
nation on the cultivation of the plants"
Ginseng is held in such high esteem
in China as a medicine, that it is uni
versally regarded as possessing the most
extraordinary virtues, and is used as a
remedy for almost all diseases, but par
ticularly for exhaustion of body and
mind. It is sometimes sold in that
country for it's weight in gold. The
berries infused in wine or spirits are
employed in America as cure for rheum-
tism.
Some varieties of Aralia are used for
food by the Japanese by boiling the
roots as carrots or parsnips are in Amer

A FRIEND OF HICKS.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Your editorial in last issue of your pa
per, calling the Reverend Irl R. Hicks
"a harmless kind of an impostor," sat
tempting to deceive the people and
make them think he was a very wise
fellow" must have surprised pot a few
of your intelligent readers. Was it not
bordering on brutality, ''pseudo
prophet? Mr.. Hicks predicted ter
rible freeze in Florida about the first
week in January" When and where
did he? Let us be quite fair with an
honest man seeking earnestly to learn
Gods laws in regard to "wind and
storm fulfilling his word", Psalm 148,
s. All Gods work is under law In
DR.. Hicks Almanac for 1896 are these
words: The storms about the middle of
January will be diversified "from tropi-
cal rain and thunder southwark, to in
tense blizzard, snow and sleet northward.
The perturbations will very likely be
prolonged till after the new moon on the
H." and the reactionary storms on and
about the 10Th and 10th. ''But be on
the watch for sweeping cold wave
directly behind every storm of we'll de-
fined intensity. The polar wave at this
time will reach far down into the gulf
region. The conditions being almost
the same as when the freezing waves

is quite staple crop, aud as it requires
very little skill it is a favorite with
many who are not able to raise other
vegetables. The land should be well pre-
pared though not deeply, about the last
of October or in November; the fertilizer
scattered along the row and mixed with
the SOIL This crop will stand a light
frost and grow even in quite cold
weather.
For shipping purposes the dwarf va
rieties should be chosen. The Mcneil
pea has been very largely grown in Co.
lumbia county. The American Wonder
and Blue Beauty do exceedingly well.
The large number of varieties offered for
sale often leads to confusion, but the
three named above may be regarded as
trustworthy.
A light warm soil is very desirable for
winter crops. If one uses seed drill
row should be made up of three or four
drills about an inch apart. This will
give them a chance to hold to one an
other and thus form supports. The or
binary practice is to make a row about
six inches wide by scattering the seed
along a furrow and covering about an
inch deep. Peas sown later than the
first of January are liable to come into
competition with those grown further
north.
FERTILE FORMULA.
Available phosphoric acid...... 7per cent.
Potash ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 7per cent.
Nitrogen. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 3per cent.
For this crop 1t will be found desirable
to use mineral fertilizer rather than
compost. If nitrate of soda is used it
will require two applications, one at the
time of sowing, and the second just as
the first flower buds begin to show. Cot
ton seed meal can be used as a source of
nitrogen, as a portion of a complete fer
tilizer. Nitrate of soda will cause the
vines to make a vigorous growth, so
should not be applied when frost is
looked for. Use 1900 to 1000 pounds to
the acre.
Cultivation IS needed more to get air
into the soil than to keep the weeds
down. During cultivation the soil should
be gradually worked up to the row so as
to leave them hilled up at the last plow
ing. The distance between the rows
should be about twenty inches for strong
soil.
MARKETING.
An ordinary vegetable crate without
partition will be found the proper thing
to ship in. Picking is tedious job, but
it is not difficult TO obtain an abundance
of help. AS soon as the pods are well
filed the hands may be sent into the
field. The earliest shipments are the
most profitable. There is rarely any
difficulty in the way of diseases in the
field or rotting on the way. Sorting is
not necessary, and the peas may be put
into crates Immediately.
SEED.
Most of the seed is imported from
England on account of so much of the
home grown seed being infested with
the pea weevil. While this insect usu
ally leaves the germ unnurt, the amount
of nourishment taken out of the seed

The best seeds are usually from the

Experience demonstrated long ago
that in order to maintain the best fibre
in cotton, new seeds should be obtained
directly from the Sea Islands at intervals
of several years. 1t is the concensus OF
opinion that a renewal of seed in this
way at intervals of two or three years
will produce satisfactory results.
The following cotton dealers can
furnish fresh seed for planting
directly from the Sea Islands at all
times: Col. J. E. B. Sloan, Charleston,
S. G; H. f. Dutton & Co., Gainesville,
Fla; WV. Gordon & Co., Savannah, Ga,
and Messrs. Butler & Stevens, Savannah,
Ga. They can doubtless be procured
from either of these gentlemen upon
short notice and at about the rate of
So 90 per bushel.
HOW TO PLANT THE SEED.
The planting of the seed should be &C
complished by means of some of the ex
cellent and cheap cotton planters which
can now be easily purchased almost any
where. When planter is employed in
dropping the seed, one-half bushel per
acre will be required. When planted
by hand it is necessary to use about three
pecks per acre in planting.
The best variety of planter to employ
L o%k %hn
rear to press the soil upon the seed.
This will insure more prompt germina-
ton and more uniform vegetation.
CULTIvATING THE CROP.
AS soon as the first true leaf of the
young plant appears, the cotton rows
should be sided closely with sixteen
inch Terrell heel, scrape with narrow
wings and set to run very fat In the
absence Of the Terrell heel, scrape, any
old scrape that has been well worn at the
extremltles will suffice. The object of
this siding is to stir the soil around the
plants and to sift enough fine soil
amongst them to cover the young grass
growing in the drill Leave it in this
condition long enough for the young
grass thus covered to die and then chop
the cotton to stand. 1t is prevailing
opinion that; when it is possible to avoid
it, chopping should not proceed in ex-
ceedingly windy or chilly weather. The
distance apart to leave the stalks in the
row in chopping will depend chiefly
upon the fertility of the soil and the
rain supply. On poor lands, or on lands
subject to drought during the planting
season, thin planting must be 1racticed
to obtain the best results. Varying,
therefore, with the fertility, ETC., of the
soil, the cotton should be chopped to
stand wherein the stalks are from ten to
eighteen inches apart. The chopping
should be followed with a wider scrape
go or 80 inches-throwing enough soil
to the cotton to support it and to cover
any grass left by the choppers. Two
burrows with a wide scrape will cover
the whole middle. After everv rain, as
soon as the ground is dry enough, the
scrape should again be brought into
use to prevent the formation of a crust
and to kill the grass in the germ.
If this system of cultivation is care
fully employed, very little hoeing will

suddenly flung open, and Miss FaulS-
ner swept quickly inside, closed the
door behind her and leaned back heay-

Clarence was startled, and for q mo-

that in the excitement he had entirely
forgotten her and the dangers to which
she might be exposed. She had prob

fears had been awakened; she had come

toward her with a reassuring smile, he
was shocked to see that her agitation
