Crops and Weather.

Director Mitchell of the State weather
Bureau has resumed the publication of
his weekly crop and weather bulletins.
From his first bulletin of the season
issued on the 31st ult., we extract the
following:
The weather conditions during the
past winter developed no abnormal
features, and conse quently rapid strides
were made by orange interests left
dormant the previous winter. While
the temperature has been below the
normal during the winter, the deficiency
has not been so marked as to provoke
serious apprehension or fatal conse-
Quences. Advices for the current week
are generally opti mistic, as regards the
staple products. The only exceptions
indicated being from the west district
where rainfall has been excessive, delay
ng farm work to some extent, and
consequent lateness in crop growth.
Sections of the north district, particu
larry st. Johns county, the trucking in
terest is not up to the standard, and
strawberries are far from satisfactory in
the vicinity of Switzerland. Frosts on
the 21st inst, did considerable damage
over the western and northern district,
where thin ice formed, and was an I'M
welcome visitor as far south as the north
central section of the State. Timely
warnings and active covering prevented
much damage.
The pas5 i've or six days have been
perfect-cloudless and warm-just the
requisites for termination and crop
growth. Copious showers would be
timely, and would greatly stimulate all
interest over the northern, central and
southern district. Corn is planted and
is several feet high in some of the CEN
trail counties. Cane, cotton and pota-
toes are receiving active attention and
tobacco is being very generally planted
In sections of the western and central
districts. There is fear that the cold
weather on the Dist seriously injured the
fruit crop over the western district

Treatment Of Pea Vines.

Experimental Station:
Experiments have been made by the
Georgia Station for two years to deter
mine the most economical disposition of
the pea crop. To this end three series
of plats we're prepared and all Of them
fertilized alike with 200 pounds acid
phosphate per acre, and planted in cow
peas. On the first series the vines were
permitted to ripen their peas and these
were removed and the dead vines turned
under in November. On another series
the vines were turned under when in
full luxuriance of growth. On the re-
naming series the vines were cut at the
proper stage and made into hay. Credit
was given for the peas picked and hay
removed. The next year the entire plat
was put in cotton and treated alike and
the results of the cotton from each series
carefully and separately weighed and
valued. While both the green vines
and dead ones from which the peas were
picked, gave in their order increased
yields of cotton over the series from
which the vines were removed for hay,
yet the money value of the results, in
including value of peas and hay re-
moved, was strongly in favor of the
last series. The following are the con-
illusions of the director for the two
years:
"The two experiments agree with re-
markable closeness, and the results may
be accepted as conclusive. Therefore,
the conclusions reached as the results
of the first experiment are confirmed
and adopted as follows:
81. That the best disposition of crop
of field peas is to convert the vines into
hay.
"2 The next best is to permit the peas
to ripen and gather them Cor pasture
them).
''3. Turning the pea vines under green
gave the poorest economic results.
NOTE 1t may be truly said that the
practice of turning under crop of cow
pea vines-ready for the m over. and In
a few days for the barn and for the cat
tle-has no more reason to sustain it
than would the practice of turning un-
der crop of wheat, oats, corn or cotton
at its most vigorous stage of growth.
Nearly every form of stock wood would
be valuable and effective fertilizer if
applied Immediately and directly to the
soil; but the farmer, in an economic
sense, can no more afford to manure his
soil with crop of pea vines that are
ready to NOW than he can to SOW good,
sound wheat bran on his land for fertili-
Zer.
Similar experiments have been made
at other stations with like conclusions
1t may, therefore, be assumed that the
best economy suggests that where live
stock are present in sufficient numbers
to consume it, that the pea vines be
made into hay and fed, and the result
ants, manures carefully returned to the
soil. Elsewhere it will be found the
high feeding value Of both vine and
peas, both of which are possessed of
high digestive coef1cients. Expert
ments made at the North Carolina Sta
ton with pea vines established the fol-
lowing coef1cients, VIZ: Dry matter

Tomato Business
It is said there are 1900 acres of to-
matoes in this vicinity. Connie, Flor
ence, Winter Haven, Eloise and Eagle
Lake are the shipping points. Some of
the growers number their acres by the
100. Of the early planting good many
have already been sent out.
In growing all our farm crops there is
a science in it. that often is learned
very slowly, and with much persistent
effort. Some one in the beginning, had
to learn how to raise corn; how to grow
tobacco; and the tomato is no exception
to this rule.
A great many tomatoes, year after
year, have been grown in this favored
section, and the growers are learning
more and more, year after year, of the
science of tomato growing.
1t is said of fruits, the finer the va
riety of fruit, the more science is re-
auired to raise it; and the tomato, though
not of the finer sort, is no exception to
this rule, and the novice in starting in
to grow tomatoes, though all things "a
vor, finds many perplexing questions
that must be gone over.
The outlook now is very promising,
yet the winter in some respects has been
serious one. So much cloudy weather,
and at times too much rain, and so
much heavy wind has thrashed the
plants about until they are spread out
on the ground, and the fruit forms
very often as it lies on the ground.
Then comes a serious trouble; the cut
worms attack them, and [ have heard
some growers say they have destroyed
two.thirds of their crop.
Like all things in science it takes
brain to develop it many of our growers
are 'brsiny men," and they are finding
remedy, which is in getting the plants
up off of the ground;and many are doing
it! Mayor Briggs the largest grower
here, is using wire, much the same as
is done in grape culture. He is stretch
ing two wires and tying the vines to
them. Others are using stakes, and
tying up the vines, and at the same
time, trimming out such new growth, and
blossoms that will not make fruit in
time for Florida tomatoes. The results
that are showing from this careful
traing, is very gratifying indeed. Some
say that it will increase the yield often
three or four times. It is said that one
good tomato to the plant, makes 30
crates to the acre, and in some cases in
this tying up, where carefully done, I
have counted 90 perfect fruits on
single plant. 1t is expensive but the
yield is so great, and the fruit so much
finer, that 1t pays many times.
