Some Farming Advantages in Florida.

Some Farming Advantages In FLORIDA,
A writer in the Southern Democrat
of Jacksonville, says:
It is not the purpose of the writer
to prove that Florida is the best
country on the earth's surface in
which to follow farming. 1t has it's
peculiar drawbacks, and while snow
and ice and frost-bound soil do not
confront us here, as in some other
parts, this does not show that we are
free from all the ills found elsewhere
and especially those found in south
ern lands. Our purpose is rather to
recount the many advantages we do
enjoy from general farming as pur-
suit for livelihood and comfort. The
writer has never yet spent a season
(or year) in any other part OF our
country where so little time was lost
from out of door labor requirements
In New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, in
New York and Ohio it was a common
matter to have hired men and teams
substantially idle so far as farm work
was concerned, fully seventy-fve
days during the year.
In Virginia the writer found ma
terially lessened loss of time-not
seemingly beyond forty or fifty days,
and here in Florida only about doz-
en- or fifteen days per year of what
we could call enforced idleness from
bad weather or land too wet for
working.
Out of three hundred and six or
seven working days if seventy-five is
substantially lost it takes away one
quarter part. If only forty-fve were
lost it takes out one-seventh part full
ly; and if but fourteen is lost this
calls for deduction of only one
twenty-second part, or less than five
per cent as against IA or rs per cent.

Freight Reduction Necessary.

y
My vegetable crop of the spring of
1880 netted me about $1.75 per crate
above freight and commission charg-
es. The crops raised in the following
years gradually declined in gross
sales and net returns.
My crop of 1895 of about 5000
crates including some cabbages and
potatoes sold for $4,7OO, or less than
$1.oO per crate (gross) and my loss
was about $1,000.
My crop of 1896, 2,7OO crates includ-
ing three cars melons, netted me
81 10000 giving me some profit.
The total gross sales of Al of our
best growers, $4,000 crates, was $92,-
900 Gncluding cabbage and potatoes)
or not quite $1.o5 per crate.
In 1880 the land planted in vegeta-
bles was of but small area. Now there
is in this state 100 acres planted to
where there was but one.
In 1880 my freight charges were
371b to so cents, and in 1888 the
freight charges from points near
Orange Lake, cheapest way, was %
cents per crate, while this season by
cheapest way, was 21a cents more
than in 1880 and IL cents more than
in 1888.
In 1880, when times were good and
a big demand for our vegetables,
freights we're less. Now times are
very dull, only the wealthy can pay
fancy prices for early vegetables, and
a. great deal of the United States bor-
dering on the gulf is being planted
in vegetables, thereby producing a
supply far in excess of the demand
and causing the prices for these veg
etables to barely cover freight charg-
es. This means a loss to the greater
part of those engaged in this busi-
ness.
If our next crop is as large as the
crop of the few years past, we can
not expect to realize any better pric-
es, unless times are better north, and
if our freight rates as we'll as com
mission rates remain the same, it will
again be loss to all those engaged
in the business.
Freight rates in the United States
have been greatly reduced in the last
Is years, and if our transportation
companies would give us reduction
of at least so per cent we could
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-11-11
So per Annu1l, in advance

Labor is very important factor in
determining success upon the farm
Four days and one-half per week in
comparison with five and three-quar-
ter days is a very considerable differ
ence. If we estimate a mans daily
earnings at an even dollar, in one
case his earnings would be $3.50 per
week, in the other $5.75.
If any man deems it better that the
farmer should have more rest than
the one day per week, which Sunday
affords, we can state that twenty 9th
er days are given for rest and recrea-
tion or enjoyment, as the legal holi-
days supply.
Here farmer may plant or SOW, or
prepare the land for so doing, at any
time during the year. 1t is now
about the end of October, the farmer
may plow and sow rye or oats, tur-
nips or peas, (English), clover, (crim-
SOM, or rye grass.
Next month, November, he can dig
and bank his sweet potatoes, cut and
grind his sugar cane, making his sug-
ar and syrup.
In December he can plow for all
the early spring cropping wants.
In January he can mark out and
plant corn, potatoes, etc.
In February cane, melons, squash
es, etc.
In March tobacco, tomatoes, beans
millet.
In April cowpeas, sweet potatoes
wines or slips), corn for late crop, or
fodder.
In May dig round Cor Irish) pota-
toes, plant sweet potatoes if season
able weather comes, SOW millet, cow
peas, etc., cut and cure crimson clo-
yer, cultivate all spring crops, gather
spring vegetables such as squashes,
cucumbers, onions, etc.
In June finish planting sweet po-
tato cuttings, finish sowing millet
and cowpeas, gather roasting ears,
corn fodder, melons, etc.
In July gather hay, millet, cowpeas,
corn fodder, and plow for fall plant
ing.
In August finish hay crop, gather
in corn, cowpeas, and SOW seeds un-
der shade for fall crops; begin latter
part of month to plant for fall gar
dening.
In September plow and plant and
SOW for fall and winter crops, culti-
vate where large enough so to do;
hauling manure or compost materials
whenever little opportunity admits
of so doing; and this can be done all
through the year.
By this imperfect schedule one can
see the farmer in Florida can find
plenty OF work at any time whether

Cooperative Creameries.
Organizing stock companies among
farmers for the purpose of establish
ing public creamery plants has for
the past ten or twelve years been car
ried on at different times, in at least
a majority of the states, by a class
of operators known as "creamery
sharks
In a great many instances, un-
doubtedly majority-these compa-
nies have been organized and the
plants located where not enough COWS
were kept tofurnish the required milk
to keep them running. AS result
thousands of such plants have been
for some time standing idle-the
stock complete loss to the investors.
In many instances the cost of the
plant has been three times as great
as it should have been and in nearly
all twice as great.
The Creamery shark" or "pro-
moter" as he prefers to be called. is
an imposing individual who under
stands human nature to perfection.
AS a rule his plan is to elk" one in
fuencial person in the community
where he is about to begin operation.
This "fixing' usually includes a few
shares of stock free, on the quiet.
Such person of course becomes an
early subscriber for stock.
One part of the plan is to induce
the farmers of the locality "worked''
to select committee usually of
three-to visit some public creamery
in company with the "promoter''-a
creamery built and outftted by the
company he represents the pur-
pose of gaining information in regard
toits success. Sometimes two or three
such creameries are visited-all ex-
penses of the trip being paid by the
promoter. This course is better for
the latter than to allow the commit
tee to select the public creameries
they prefer to visit and have their ex-
penses paid by the farmers they rep
resent.
Any farming community in want OF
a butter or cheese factory can from
reliable dealers obtain all needed in
formation including plans for the
building and estimate cost for same
and outfit. Hence there need be no
occasion for placing themselves in
the hands of any creamery shark

same relation to the farming COM
munity that the lightning rod and
kindred class of swindlers sustain.
