Compile Plant, No. 2.


1t is estimated here that there is
enough compile on a homestead OF
rocky land, if properly managed, to
support family, but the plant grows
among the saw palmetto, wire grass,
rocks and oak runners being forced to
combat with these strong growers. Ii
it can be planted and grown at the will
of the planter, two acres would hold as
much comptie as is now found ON
whole homestead of 100 acres. 1t can
be seen that the possibilities are very
great.
If one were to eradicate the other wild
plants, let the pine trees stand, and
plant the whole surface in compile, the
land would be the most valuable agri-
cultural land in the world. The refuse
from the mill would fertilize large or
chard and garden, and a compile farm
would be very desirable property.
There is no other desirable food plant
that needs no cultivation or fertilizer,
and at the same time fourlshes in the
poorest soils.
The starch IS very fine and white
when well prepared, though there is
good deal of difference in quality, ac-
cording to the care taken in its pre-
paration. Where properly prepared the
beautiful snowy powder is as good for
puddings and pastry as is cornstarch,
and is much cheaper, two tablespoonfuls
of starch being amply sufficient to
thicken quart of milk to the consis-
tency of pudding or custard. as desired,
with tie usual quantities of sugar and
eggs. In sickness, or for children, it is
as good as arrowroot. In the Blscayne
region it is an everyday dish in one
shape or another. 1t is strange that so
useful product is not more widely
known, especially as there is in it con-
siderable profit, arrived at through an
inexpensive process.
The following historical note concern
ing the comptle in Florida is interest
ing:
Some time during the spring of 1929
Father Olmedo, Spanish priest who
came into Mexico with Cortez, landed
ON the southeast coast of Florida and
explored the region for one hundred
leagues around the southern extremity
of the peninsula. He also examined the
section now called the Everglades,
which he called "las cienegas" in his
journal, copy of which is now in the
possession of the Del Vale family of

Sweet Potatoes and Cow Penning.


Sweet Potatoes and Cow Penning.
Some years ago found that bushel
of sweet potatoes could be sold for about
as much as a box of oranges and that
one could grow from 100 to 200 bushels
per acre on cow penned land. so thought
I would try and diversity my orange
crop with potatoes, and have since been
making success growing them. 1t is
we'll did, for this year it is all sweet
potatoes. l would rather diversity the
potatoes with few oranges now.
have tried commercial fertilizers
and cotton seed meal but have found
nothing equal to cow-penning for them.
1t seems to be just the fertilizer they
need here. The penning IS done in
April and May, and as soon as the rains
commence in June the beds are made
up by throwing four furrows together.
On smooth laud no hoe work is necessary
in preparing the land. The vines are
cut about eighteen inches long and
pushed down with stick, placing the
stick about six or eight inches from the
base of the vines and showing them
down slanting until only about two
inches ofthe tip end is left out; this
gives great many joints under ground
for the roots to start from. The plane

and the tops of the beds are cleaned off
with hoe after each plowing; latter that
the vines will cover the ground and keep
down all grass.

the yield decrease 25 per cent by delay
of three weeks in planting. Aplentiful
supply of vines should be provided for
by bedding out number Of bushels OF
small potatoes of good shape early in
February and planting large patch
of drawer slips as soon as all danger OF

patch he will surely make sorry crop
Not more than two cuttings should be
taken from vine. To bare full crop,
every hill should be full of potatoes;
this will not be the case unless one is
careful of getting the best vines.
The varieties grown here are the
Providence, yellow yams, white West

We do not harvest the main crop
until frost kills the vines. although
potatoes for table use are taken from
the early drawer slip patch from June
until the crop is harvested in the fall.
The potato is ripe when the milk In

the crop can be dug whether frost has

vines but frosted all the potatoes that
stuck their ends up to the surface.
In digging them we take single plow
with the bent iron stock with long
twister on. This is run around the bed
twice, The first time strips off the vines,
and leaves them in the water furrow,
the second trip covers up nearly all the
vines, and tears the bed down leaving a
strip about eight inches in the center OF
the bed, to be finished up with the prorged
hoe. The potatoes are thrown in piles
being careful not to throw them on one
another, and let dry several hours.
Then they are carefully sorted placing
the good sound ones and the cuils in
separate boxes and then hauled in. We
put ours in the sand in our stable, a bout
two feet deep. They are left uncovered
three weeks unless the weather is cold
then they are covered by foot or more
of straw. In this way we have kept them
until June, or longer. Tie culls are
fed to the hogs, cows, horses and
chickens. Horses are very fond Of
them and it is said that three bushels
are equal to one of corn for feed, so
when the price falls to about one third
the price of corn, they can be used for
horses and hogs. In North Florida hogs
are fattened almost entirely on them.
They are turned into small fenced por-
tions of the patch at time and do their
own digging. AS it costs from five to
ten cents bushel to dig, there is saw
ing in this plan.
We will give the vineless yam trial
next spring, for 1t recommends itself
very favorably when we have to pull and
haul the vines away from the old sorts.
In eastern Virginia the potato is grown
extensively for the Northern markets.
The pine woods on the farms are raked
in the fall and all the straw is hauled
into the lots and trampled on and mixed
with manure until spring when it is
hauled out on the land. The crop
is made then entirely from the draw
slips, which are often planted in hills
instead of long beds.
made the best yield when
laid off my land with deep scooter
furrow and bedded on it. This is con-
ira ry to the general idea that the
potato needs hard bottom. l think
that if the best vines only are planted
there will not be much trouble with
strings instead of nice potatoes.

is a money crop. Hay, corn, oats, rye,
rice, sugar cane, cow peas, good pasture
for cattle, all garden vegetables needed
for family use are money crops, and but
ter, eggs, pork, lard and milk are lnols'
pensible articles in a well regulated fam
lily. When once farmer has an abund-
ance of these he will always have some
thing to sell that will bring In the al
mighty dollar.
Now in regard to preserving meat in
a warm climate like this, many are un-
der the impression that it cannot be
done, and nsequently large quantities
of both pork and beef are annually i'm
ported from the West and the money
sent out of the State when it should be
kept here. We buy very little cured or
fresh meat. We preserve our own pork
and beef, and as to hams, shoulders, dry
beef, etc., we have this to say, that ifa
farmer follows our instructions strictly
he will have no difficulty ia curing his
own meat. Our plan of preserving and
curing pork and beef is as follows,
To every 100 pounds of meat make a
brine of the following: eight pounds of
Liverpool salt (use no other); two pounds
brown sugar; two ounces saltpeter; one
and one-half ounces pot or pearlash; two
ounces alispice; one ounce red pepper;
four gallons pure water. This should be
thoroughly mixed and dissolved before
applied to the meat.
After the hogs or beef (which should be
killed during the winter season. have
been cut up and the meat has become
thoroughly cooled, pack it in tight and
perfectly clean oak casks and then cover
the meat (Which should have sufficient
weight to prevent its foating) with brine
made as above. Let it remain in pickle
from four to six weeks according to the
weather and size of meat. When taken
out of the pickle have each liece rinsed
in fresh water, then hang it up in q
smoke house and let it dry.a few days
before smoking it with oak wood or corn
cobs, which should not be longer than
ten days, when each ham should be hung
up in dark, cool place for use. Meat
for dry beef, should be left in pickle only
about fifteen days, when it should be
hung in the smoke house, left to dry one
day and then smoked.
Hams should be placed so far from the
fire that the smoke will be absolutely
cool before it reaches them.
We have smoke house 5x8 feet, by
feet high, covered with shingle roof,
where the fire is built in a small oven on
the outside and the smoke conducted
through pipe into the inside.
Remember, as a rule, the slower you
smoke meat the better. The best wood
is green hickory, then maple, beech, ash
and oak. Never use any wood that i'm
parts an unpleasant smell, or wood that
makes black smoke. The last day Of
