INFORMATION WANTED.

At present there is SO much interest
taken in the political issues that it is hard
to get any one to write or talk on any other
subject. There are, however, people who
want information about our state, and our
subscribers could do good thing by help
ing to give this knowledge, and at the same
time give their mind rest from the per-
picking questions that are now rocking the
country from ocean to ocean and lakes to
gulf. The following inquiry gives wide
range of subjects to write on and we hope
to secure goodly number of responses:
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Will some one who is practical vegeta-
BILE grower please tell through the FLORIDA
AGRICULTURIsT the proper kind, with
name of vegetable, to grow to make sue
cess, and time to plant seed. Also what
kinds of fruit will grow, and profits from
various kinds besides the orange, such as
the pear, peach and apricot. How far on
the or near to the St. Johns river from Jack,
sonville can they be grown with success.

Encourages Agriculture.

The European governments realize
the necessity and benefit of encouraging
agriculture with liberal appropriations.
The Austrian government has granted
S3O,OOO,OOO Tor the relief of peasant
farmers and liberal appropriations for
improving the stock and agricultural
implements. France, however, leads in
the most liberal appropriations for the
announcement of agriculture and
scientific agricultural education, liberal
prizes at the stock shows for the i'm
provement of live stock and maintains
government stables for breeding and
developing the best horses that skill,
money and scientific brc. ding can de-
velop, and for supplying the best sires
to the farmers at a nominal price, much
less than an individual breeder could af
ford such sires. France and Germany
impose duty on imported agricultural
products and pay bounty on sugar and
other exports. Thus the merchants and
manufacturers and towns and cities
help to encourage the farmers, and they
gladly do it, knowing when the farmer
prospers they also prosper.-Ex.
The farmers of this country do not
receive very much of such encourage
ment.

the same to the people without any COM
junction. These leached stems can be
told by the very light color and the almost
total absence of the tobacco taste when
put in the mouth. We have samples that
resemble wood pulp more than anything
else.
For number of years the manufacturers
of sheep dip have been troubled by sub
stance in the extract which they did not
understand and could not control, but now
they have found method of precipitating
the unobjectionable matter and they find
they have a very fine article of nitrate of
potash analyz ing 41 per cent. actual potash
and IFS per cent. of ammonia or fertiliz
ing value of about $40 per ton; so that
what has been a source of annoyance and
expense is turned into profit. That part
of it is all right and we are glad to know
there is one more source to furnish nitrates
but when the residue of the leach tubs is
sold to growers under the supposition that
they are getting unleached ground stems
they should be put on their guard.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:

send you by mail, under separate cover, a few
tomato roots with knots These tomatoes were
grown On land that has been under cultivation
five years and has been kept clean between crops
except the summer OF 1892, when planted cow
peas and turned the vines under. Since then these
knots have developed on every thing grown on
this piece of land. have used commercial fertili-
ger and muck. If you can tell me the cause and
remedy would be greatly obliged. Fl.
Sanabel, Fla.
The sample roots showed that they
were very badly affected with root knot.
The cow peas furnished desirable food
for its propagation and hence it's in
crease. Dust the ground literally with
lime and harrow it and use fertilizers

This will help subdue it If 1t does not
eradicate it.

How to Exterminate Weeds.


whole of the growing season, being
propagated by seeds and from the roots.
AS to the source whence they come, ii
may be difficult to explain, as light
seeds are carried by winds, but in a
majority of cases weeds are allowed to
produce seeds on the farms after the
cultivation of the regular crops has
ceased. Some farmers are willing to
give their crops thorough cultivation as
long as the growth of the crops demand
such work, but they will not give Guilt
walton simply to benefit the land for the
next year. 1t is during this interval
betW can the end of cultivation and the
appearance of frost-that the weeds have
their golden opportunity They flourish
and seed the land for the next seasons
sible to destroy weeds entirely, and es'
pecially if the farmers of neighbor
hood will work together for that purpose
as even the Canada thistle has been ex
terminated on well-kept farms by cult
waiting a crop that required the hoe a!
well as the cultivator.
The early weeds, no matter how small
they may be, feed upon the plant foot
intended for the crop, and also appropri
ate moisture. They grow rapidly, be-
cause they are usually we'll adapted to
the climate, and also indigenous to the
soil. When the weeds are young the
plants of the crop are also young, and
there is competition for supremacy.
Usually the weeds excel in numbers and
crowd the plants until the farmer comes
to the assistance Of the crop. On land
that is rich, or where manure or fer
tilzers have been applied, the weeds
will always hold the mastery, and a
difference Of only two or three days ir
destroying them may seriously interfere
with the crop. There can, therefore, b.
no postponement of cultivation for de
stroying weeds, and especially where the
rainfall has not been up to the average
as weeds can take up an enormous
amount of moisture from the soil in
twenty-four hours.
An implement known as the weeder il
now used for young weeds. 1t can be
drawn by one horse, and destroys them
without injuring the plants. This is
done as soon as the weeds begin to appear
above ground, and the harrow also does
good service at times. If the killing OF
the weeds is done when they are young,
there will be saving of labor later in
the season, and the cultivator need not
be used until the top soil requires loosen
ing. as surface cultivation is better than
tearing the roots of some crops. Every
time the soil is stirred and a shower
comes, more seeds will germinate, anC
in q short time there will be but few
weeds left. So much for the early
weeds. The next duty is to keep OF
with the work of killing weeds when
ever they put in an appearance, and no
give up the ground to them because thu
crop is made. If weeds are allowed tt
grow to the height of several inches
they will then have deprived the land Oh
fertility, but if destroyed when young
they can do bnt little damage.

we doubt if live fence could be put ont
