NORTHWEST 81 a year
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-09
So per Annum, in advance


When the dweller in the north wants
TO go fishing in the winter or spring he
comes to Florida as the Mecca Of all
lovers of the sport, and he is never dis
appointed in mis- success in angling.
Fish of every variety are to be had fer
the simple trouble Of dropping into the
water a hook and line provided with the
proper bait, and the man who cannot
make a success of fishing trip has not
sense enough to carry on any other mis-
sion in life.
But the people of Florida do not seem
to realize the Importance of the oppor-
tunity in this particular industry that
lies before them. In no waters on earth
can the pom pano be secured in such
quantity and such perfection as on the
Florida coast, and the same may be said
of the trout, and many other varieties
of tt. ole fish that are common food to
our people, but rare delicacies to other
sections of the country. With the
growth of refrigerating facilities in
transportation, which proves itself day
by day. Florida fisheries must become
institutions of national Importance. The
fish are here for the killing, but hereto
fore there has been no profitable channel
through which they could be transported
to the markets in which there was a
steady demand for them. In time, it is
easy to see that, instead Of constituting
a source of sport to those who live upon
large fixed incomes, and source of sus-
tenance to the poorer classes who make
of them a chief article of diet, the Flor
ida fish will one day become one Of the
states most profitab BILE products. The
supply is practically inexhaustible.-

Cotton Reports Not Encouraging.

HI. f. Dutton & Co., recently sent out
1000 circular letters, asking for infor
nation with regard to the condition of
the cotton crop, acreage, yield, and
amount of old cotton on hand. Answers
have been received from every county
in Florida, and from many places in
each of the other cotton producing
states. The answers are not so encour-
aging as it was thought they would be.
The recent heavy rains and the exces-
sive heat of the past few weeks have in
jured the growth, and very materially
decreased the yield. While the acreage
of sea island cotton is reported twenty
five per cent in excess of last year, the
yield will not exceed five per cent. In
some places, and especially in southern
Georgia, the crop is early, and the bot.
tom and middle crops are opening up
we'll, but on the whole the crop is from
three to four weeks late. Indications
are that in three weeks there will be
vast amount of cotton marketed. Very
little old cotton seems to be on hand any
where.

Foul Brood or Bee Pest.

Foul Brood or Bee Pest.
Foul brood or bee pest is the most ter
rible scourge of agriculture. 1t spreads
so rapidly by contaglon in a single sea-
son, that, unless precautions are taken, a
whole neigborhood may become affected,
and the chances of successful bee-keep-
ing therein will be seriously impaired,
if not utterly destroyed.
Foul brood is caused by rod organ
ism, called Bacillus alvei, which in
creases by splitting, and has, under GER
tain conditions. the power of forming
spores. 1t is important to note that
bacilli are present in the earliest stages
of the disease, but in the latest, when
brood becomes rotten and coffee colored,
or has dried up to scale, they turn to
spores. These represent the seeds of the
evil, and retain the power of germinat-
ing into bacilli when in contact with a
suitable nourishing medium at proper
temperature, even after the lapse of long
periods.
They are endowed with wonderful vi
tality. Freezing and boiling. carbolic
acid, phenol, thynol, salicylic acid, naph-
thol beta, perchloride of mercury, as
well as creolin, lysol, eucalyptus and
naphthallne, which evaporate at the or
dinary temperature of the hive, prevent
the growth of bacilli, but have no effect
on the spores. From this it will be seen
how great is the difficulty In curing foul
brood, unless the disease is attacked in
it's earliest conditions.
When stocks are found week, working
languidly, very slightly profitable, and
swarming little, foul brood may be sus-
pected. If it is present an examination of
the comb will show some cells (many or
few with dying or dead larvae in them;
others with their covers sunken or per-
forated, while the cells of healthy brood
are usually compact, and the grubs are
plump and of apearly whiteness. When
healthy the young Larvae are curled up
in crescent shape at the bottom of the
cells On the other hand, if diseased,
they will be found to extend horizontally
in the cell, presenting f1abby appear
ance and of pale straw color. AS they
begin to decom pose the color changes to
brown. The capped cells will be OBJ
served in irregular patches and mostly
perforated. On removing the Gaping,
the contents will be seen to consist OF
putrid, sticky. elastic, coffee-colored
mass of the rotting larv@. The bees do
no seem to have the power to clean out
the foul cells, and so they remain,
spreading infection within the hive un-
til the stock becomes too weak to de-
fend it's stores, when some neighboring
colony probably robs it, and in doing so
carries away the seeds of disease and
death, which are thus spread, until all
