King solomon's Notion

That There is nothing new under the
sun" does not always convey the truth.
Especially is this true as regards the
new composite cars now operated daily
via The Chicago, Union Pacific and
Northwestern Line between Salt Lake
City and Chicago.
These handsome Buffet Smoki lg and
Library Cars are entirely new through
ont, Of lates; design, contain all modern
i'm proyemonis. and are well supplied
with writing material, the leading daily
papers, Illustrated periodicals, mag
azines, etc.
The fact that these cars run daily via
"The Overland Limited" and that the
Union Pacific was the line west OF
Chicago to inaueurate this service
should commend itself to all.
See that your tickets read via ''rhe

MURPHY-In Lathrop, Cal. December 5.
1896, T. J. Murphy, "a native of Massachu-
sets, aged As years.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-04-08

vestigatlon, While not advising neglect
OF other crops, yet urge that sweet po-
tatoes may we'll be pushed with energy
as q cash producing crop, in connection
with other branches of farming. Since
seeking to promote this industry / have
encountered numerous unlocked for OBJ
stacles, chiefly the inability to secure
satisfactory freight rates, and the mis-
leading representations of those who
ought to know what they were talking
about, and the officious interference of
"dog in the manager" class of
people which I am inclined to think
abound to some extent in our county.
and who appears either through stupidity
or pure cussedness hostile to any enter
prise likely to benefit the general public.
To those interested in this matter |
would say that there is available cash
capital ample to handle every bushel of
sweet potatoes and gallon of cane syrup
that can be raised in Leon county the
coming year, and would also suggest
that capital seldom seeks longsfor chance
to invest; and also, that this legitimate,
but infant industry by reason Of exclud-
ing freight rates and the frigid recep-
ton it has received, may require judici-
Gus nursing to survive in Leon county.
Places are not hard to find where fair
play and sensible treatment will be &C
corded in consideration of an attempt to
promote any legitimate business. There
is belt of country about one thousand
miles long and two hundred miles wide,
extending from Jacksonville on the At
lantic, westward, in which practically
the same class of products are produced,
as in Leon county, and in the Missis-
sippi Valley States. although the haul is
longer, yet transportation to market
points costs materially less than from
here.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-04-08

not favorable to good yield, and that
nitrate of soda gave but little increase,
but the largest crop in - series Of six,
teen plats was made by the application
of 200 pounds of bone black and 200
pounds of suiphate of potash per acre.
The ordinary acid phosphate we con-
slider fully as good as the bone black,
and would use it in the South in pref
erence, as it is here much the cheaper.
Sweet potatoes, like Irish potatoes, are
much benefited by an abundance of
vegetable matter in the soil. If this has
not been supplied by the growing of
peas or clover previously, the best thing
is to haul the leaves and rotted mold
from pine woods and spread it broad
cast all over the land before blowing
for the crop. Turn this under and get
it well mixed with the soil before laying
out the rows and applying the fertilizers.
Many sweet potato growers in the section
of southern Virginia, where this is an
important market crop, are making the
mistake of supposing that salt Chloride
of sodium) is special manure for sweet
potatoes, and are using large quantities
of salt in connection with the leaf mold
The only effect the salt may have is to
check too rapid nttrlf1cation, and so pre-
vent the plants from making too much
vine. The same thing could be &C.
complished by the use of kainit in the
compost, and thus get the potash, too.
