Crimson Glover in West Florida.

firmly believe that crimson clover
belongs more to the south IAN it does
to the north, writes west Florida Cor
respondent of the Rural New Yorker,
as winter before last was very trying
winter on it here. We had three hard
freezes, and the mercury, on each oc-
casion, got down to Is above zero, and
it took my crimson clover patch all it's
time to pull through that | don't think
that it can be successfully grown where
the temperature gets down to zero
weather. But il is a very good thing to
have wherever it will succeed, as it is
the first green feed we get in the early
spring.
It is an extraordinary plant to stool,
and il even the least little bit of it is
left alive, 1t is astonishing what an ap-
pearance it makes at the time of bloom
ing. 1 consider patch of crimson clover
in full bloom (early in April here) one of
the most beautiful sights one can desire
to see. 1t can be grazed until one would
think that it is entirely eaten up, roots

Florida Orange Prospects.

News has been received in Philadel-
phia that the Florida orange groves are
doing we'll, and are gaining somewhat
faster than was expected, says the
Grocery World.
The Florida orange groves, so badly
injured by the cold of February, 1895,
have made most gratifying growth.
This has been especially marked during
the past three months. Never before in
the history of orange growing in that
state have trees made more vigorous
growth than since the beginning Of the
growing season three m onths ago.
There are groves that are not doing
we'll. Some groves will be abandoned.
These, however, are on ground that was
not suitable for orange groves in the
first place, ard on which trees never
should have been planted. Before the
freeze owners were sinking money and
la Dor in them year after year, in a for
lorn hope that they might amount to
fororn that they might be able to sell
them and get back the money they had
invested. 1t is such groves that will cut
no figure hereafter. But where trees
were planted on suitable land, and were
in good condition when the freeze struck
them, they are coming on in way to
inspire hope and confidence. Indeed,
there was never a time when confidence
in orange growing as paying enterprise
was stronger than now. The income
from orange growing amounted to an
aggregate of about three.quarters Of a
million dollars per year in one county
alone.
Under the influence of the open
weather the trees which have not been
ruined are growing very rapidly. The
next years crop of Florida oranges will
probably reach $50, 900 to 100000 boxes,
as against 10000 boxes during the last
season.

and all. 1t can be cut two or three
times in succession, and it will still come
up all smiles and blossoms, a thing of
beauty. We must sow the seed in this
latitude in September, later won't do.
Generally at ripening time May, it is
very dry weather, so I never save any OF
my own seed, as Tennessee or Virginia
seed does best in Florida. On our sandy
soils, 1T has to be fertilized a little, pot
ash and phosphoric acid are what it
needs, particularly potash. But find
that little money invested in COM
mercial fertilizers, generally pays good
interest on the investment.

Mexican Oranges.

The Mexican Herald of a recent date
in an article on the trade of Vera Cruz
says that fruit trade may be expected
to spring up shortly which will benefit
that port, owing to the failure of the
Florida orange crop. Buyers from the
United States are already purchasing
oranges in Mexico. which are easily
shipped by rail or sea to distributing
points in this country. The Herald
says that the present supply of oranges
is not very desirable, having degenerated
owing to the failure of the Mexicans to
cultivate. But there is an intimat ton
that this difficulty will soon be reme-
died, now that the possibilities of finding
q market for Mexican fruit in the
United States are being revealed.

The Pear Blight.

Speaking of the blight, which again
made it's appearance in the pear or
chards this year, the agricultural editor
of the Jacksonville G tizen says:
This spring the blight, which began
in the older pear orchards about ITALIA
hassee and Monticello several years ago,
seems almost to have completed it's jour
ney over the state. Few localities can
be found, probably, in which it has not
at least made beginning; but, owing
probably to the uncommon drouth and
the consequent sluggishness of the crop,
the spread of the disease has not been SO
swift or so destructive as it has been in
former years. Nature has already made
considerable progress IN amputating the
diseased extremities, and most of the
germs of microbes which cause the
blight are dead, but here and there is
twig that will cause germs to hibernate
during the winter and spring, unless
the part containing them shall have
been cut off and burned. They will
continue their ravages down the branch
and will probably travel farther and
work greater damage than they have
done this spring. The destruction of
diseased branches need not be hasty.
Any time next fall, before the leaves
drop off, will answer the purpose; but
nobody who has pear orchard should
neglect this important precaution For
the preservation of our pear orchards,
the necessity is as imperative as that
of isolating cases of small pox or diph
liberia for the preservation Of human
life.
All intelligent men ought to dismiss
forever the belief that pear blight can
be prevented by introducing calomel,
copperas or any other substance into an
auger hole bored IN the tree. Blight
does not come up from the ground
through the soft, growing tips of the
branches. Tt is caused by microscopic
germs borne through the air, probably
by the claws of birds or by insects,

initiate somewhat against the total
yield. Peas, cane, potatoes. etc., all
show fairly well and promise at least an
average yield. The vegetable counties
have done well, the yield and prices
being generally satisfactory. The fol-
10 wing figures of staple crops give an
idea of all crop conditions: General
averages: Upland cotton, stand 81, con-
dition 90; Sea Island cotton stand 81,
condition 81; corn, stand 90, condition
90; rice, 91.93; sweet potatoes, 95. 90; to-.
bacco, SO. 81; sugar-cane, 95.9S.

Condition Of Crops.

The state bureau Of immigration
issued it's monthly bulletin of crop re-
ports showing improved crop conditions
for the whole state, with higher general
averages on some and lower averages on
others over last months report. The
rains came In time to save the corn crop,
though in some counties the yield will
be shorter than was indicated in previ-
Gus reports. Cotton has suffered less

Sweet Potato Culture.


Experiments with sweet potatoes at
the southern experiment stations are
thus summarized by the Times Demo
GRAFT:
A few farmers claim to get better
crops from large seed than from small
seed, but the experiment stations of
several states fail to find any difference,
but all agree that potatoes grown from
vine cuttings make better seed than
those from slips or draws" In the
lower south growers often plant an acre
or two of cut seed after the manner of
planting Irish potatoes, and from these
get vine cuttings for remainder of the
crop. At the Alabama station vine cut
tings gave greater yield than slips, but
at the Louisiana station the reverse was
true. There seems to be little difference.
Potatoes from vine cuttings are
smoother and keep better than those
from slips. Pruning the vines to OBJ
tain cuttings reduces the yield some
what and causes a larger per cent Of
small potatoes.
EXCEPT on cold, wet soils, level culture
or low ridges give better results than
high ridges. Texas, Georgia and Ala,
bama stations got best ields from level
culture; Louisiana from high ridges.
Rows should be three and one-half feet
apart and plants fifteen inches apart in
the row; for feeble-growing varieties,
eighteen inches for medium and two feet
for rank growers. Some succeed with
checks thirty inches each way and save
hoe work. Moving the vines to prevent
roofing does not pay.
Potash is the most essential fertilizer,
though complete fertilizer gives best
results on soils not already fertile.
Plenty of humus or decayed vegetable
matter in the soil is necessary to good
results with sweet potatoes.
Shallow cultivation to keep the ground
mellow and keep down grass and weeds
till the vines shade the entire field is all
that is needed.
This Texas station prevents fungus
diseases and insect injuries by dipping
the plant in twenty-five gallons bor-
deaux mixture, into which three ounces
Of London purple has been thoroughly
stirred at time of planting. Never
plant Oh the same land two years in sue
cession.
For stock food, Providence, General
Grant and Shanghai give heaviest yield,
! though poor in quality. The Vineless
yam seems to be the most prolific table
variety.

An Old Newspaper Mans Impressions Of This

7. j. Connolly,a newspaper man we'll
known in Oregon as Peter the Poet, who
has been in Los Angeles county during the
last two weeks. said yesterday:
Having gazed carefully on the condition
of Los Angeles county, and studied condi.
think am qualified to assert that no coun-
ty in California promises such q golden
future as Los Angeles. In most of the
other counties the complaint is that Los

depression prevailing throughout the rest
OF the coast But Los Angeles has good
defense for this shortcoming. She don't
want any business depression and couldn't
get it If she did. She is fairly OH the inside
track of development and rapidly becom-
ing the wealthiest section of the state, and
her rapid transition from the grain-field
and pasture condition to orange grove and
citrus bloom is due to abundant water sup
ply and rare climate.
What heavenly climate! Late in Janu-
ary the winter caught bad cold up in Ore
gon, and after coughing up snowbanks and
sneezing cold rain until he looked very

their cold palms in the southern ray; they
handed the southern sunshine to their souls
