telligent farmer should receive these
bulletins, from which he CLEANS impor-
tant knowledge of the condition of those
crops in other states with which he has
to compete. Business houses in farming
centers largely regulate their supplies to
consumers by the above information.
From the state bulletin for this week
we learn that less solicitude may be
had for oranges; to paraphrase. they are
signalling: keep up your your courage,
for we are coming" You need have no
fear for Florida; true, she has had her
freezes; not more, perhaps. than a rivals
sister state, but with her usually uni
form temperature and rainfall; with her
incompatible location, and bathed on
either side by the tepid waters of gulf
and ocean, she still remains the gem in
the Union of States.

Failures in Farming.

IGllUT6S Ill IaTuluS'
There are more people in the United
States in proportion to population, en-
gagged in the pursuit of farming than
any other class. Yet there are fewer as
| to mum bers who ever succeed or make
| farming a pecially in the
southern states To what do we attrib
ute these failures? In the first place,
they are class of people who are not
educated in their profession. The sci
ence of farming requires education and
training, like all mechanisms and sclen-
ces; not so much the i'm Importance of an
agricultural school education as the i'm
q )rtance Of being schoOed and educated
practically on the farm, where one sees
and learns the process Of preparation
and cultivation Of the growing crops,
| and that, too, on various kinds of soils
| for all plantations have different makes
and forms Of soil on some place, and
require different processes in manage
ment like unto sick people with differ
ent ailments, require different medicines
| from the same doctor.
WhaC is a successful farmer-for in
stance, in the south? He is one who
makes the biggest yield of crops. under
all circumstances, as to the seasons and
quality of land, with labor and expenses
in production; who makes his farm sus
tainlng. Do all do this? You say no,
and why not? We say for the want of
proper knowledge of his business-to
to plant and cultivate. We have seen
so many crops of corn made a failure by
planting too thick for the grade of land;
also ruined in the cultivation; fine
stalk made, but no ear; all for want of
practical knowledge; what kind of tools
to use, and when TO use and make them
do the kind of work needed. Yet they
will cry out, ''Too dry, my corn is
ruined" Also how many crops of cot
ton have we seen made failure of for
the want OF farm knowledge, and not so
much the cause of too much rain, or too
dry, as the proper mode of planting and
cultivating? The successful farmer is
brought up from the pillow handles and
wedding hoe-like the great and success
| full railroad man, who started from the
brakes and worked his way up. No
man is a farmer who cannot take hold
and use the hoe and pillow as it should be
done. He must know how it should be
done, and then have ability to do it., else
he is not good farm educator. Cotton
is plant that most people endeavor to
crowd too much, this being the way
their forefathers did, thinking the more
stalks, the more bolls. No cotton row
should be less than four feet wide, and
then the distance in drill to suit the fer
tility of your soil, and not lay your fail
ure so much to the seasons as to the
want of proper and experimental knowl-
edge in planting, fertilizing and Guilt
yating.

Second only in importance to the daily
forecasts, frost and cold wave warnings,
comes the compiling of climatic data
for the state. This important work is
rendered possible by the hearty cooper
tion of voluntary observers, and let me
emphasize the fact that no more potent
influence and convincing argument can
be presented in behalf of the state than
the records of her climate, and If every
immigration agent for the state or rail-
roads is DESTROYS of ACHIEVING the great
est success, let him set forth the official
data in tabulated form denying the err
roneous but unfortunately very preva-
lent belief that, during summer, Florida
is the shortest route to hades. Eradi-
cate this belief, and immigration will
increase, with which comes a demand
for lands, and therein you will feel the
impetus to increased business life.
Some of the western states publish eli
matte data monthly, and all possible
resources are being worked at high pres
sure in setting forth the advantages Of
their sections. There are always demands
on the wea Their bureau for climatic data
for Florida. and just the other day some
were sent to England. There should,
however, be some organized effort made
by the state, for it is out Of the provence

reminded that, at the Atlanta EXPOSE

ously their average temperatures and
rainfalls, and other climatic features,
much to their advantage, while Flor

times than the producers Of the country.
| Every invention or discovery seems to
open wider the field Of possibilities. 1t
is only few years since that agricul-
tural chemistry was recognized as
an important factor in successful
farming, and the scientific specialist
| the mologist, as playing an impor-
tant part in the destruction of that al
most invisible army that lays waste the
rich fields of the planter.
1t is no less true of the weather
| bureau. 1t is yet in an embryonic state.
AS soon as our knowledge is more per-
feet as regards the parts played by the
upper air currents in the formation and
progress of storms, l feel assured that
the bureau will be able to foretell with
all reasonable accuracy, and herald, per-
haps, days in advance, the extent and
severity of all storms. Surely, it is more
reasonable to anticipate this advance
with the history of the past before us
than few years ago to have expected
the now recognized achievements in
electricity.
Among the auxiliary duties now de-
volvlng upon the weather bureau, are

This is regarded as an exceedingly valu-
able medium to reach sections isolated
from Geographic sources. There are
many advantages, apart from the bene-
fits arising in protection to vegetation,
to be realized from the knowledge of
cold waves, chief among which / may
mention the regulation of fruit ship
ments. No small quantity of fruit is
either badly damaged or destroyed by
leaving Florida at an improper time; in
other words just when a cold wave is
advancing. Such losses can be reduced
to minimum by proper observations of
weather conditions and making prepare
tions therefor. This knowledge was
highly appreciated and utilized by i'm
porters of bananas at Mobile while I was
stationed there last year. On Sunday
special message was received at the
weather bureau, giving the temperature
and weather conditions through the cen
trail valleys. Mobile is one of the larg-
est, if not the largest banana ports in
the country, and during winter the
weather is no small factor in regulating
the traffic. That which is applicable to
Mobile is no less so to the cities of Flor
ida. The weather service and the
weather man are objects against which
would-be wits sometimes make sallies,
but as he usually fires blank cartridge,
no damage is ever done. We invite
criticism, especially that born of de-
sire to increase the benefits of the pee
pie, and I hope the members of this as
ISOLATION, representing as they do, that
element of producers for whom the SER
vice was primarily established, will not
hesitate to offer suggestions which are
designed to enlarge the sphere of useful
ness. A few hints from me may not be
inappropriate. During the summer,
with some, the rules governing the fore
casts are forgotten, else the knowledge
of them is allowed to remain in a coma
tose state, SO TO speak, until revived by
the first frosts of winter, then only in
very hazy and nebulous condition.
They forget the condition under which
stationary weather is omitted from the
forecasts, and during the past winter
this slight inattention on the part of the
benefciaries was, TO my knowledge, the
cause of several thousand dollars being
lost.
There is no state in the union the pro-
ducts of which are more susceptible to
meteorological conditions than Florida,
and it behoves US all to be alert; ever
watchful that the necessary protection
may be available in case of need. And
while on this line of thought, it may not
be superfluous to digress little, and
refer to the Importance of giving protec
tion to vegetables and other tender plants
in case of frost. The matter is being
much agitated in California, and we are
not unmindful of the fact that proper
provision would be opportune here.
There is great diversity of opinion as
to the best method, but am satisfied
that irrigation, flooding if possible, with
the addition of wet smudges will pro-
duce excellent results. He who is al.
ways prepared for such emergencies
will eventually reap the benefits of his
