Licorice Growing.


have invited the attention of southern
farmers to the question of growing lie

tention to the subject Licorce is ;
plant, the root of which is in corstan
demand by tobacco manufacturers wher
worked up into paste, and yet the Who'll;
of the product used here is imported
mainly from Spain and Portugal. II
1893, the quantity Of root imported was
nearly lO0,000,000 pounds, and has
grown from 26, 100000 pounds per year
in 1885. With the continuous increase
in tobacco manufacturing the quantity
used is certain to continue to increase

Just as we'll as in Spain or Portugal. In
deed, it is grown in Europe as far north
as the North of England. We recently
wrote DR.. Dabney, the Assistant Score
tary of Agriculture, on the subject, and
have received the following reply from
him:
In reply to your letter of March 10,

you with definite information on tn

parts of this country, but the slow re-
turns have discouraged the propag a
tors A plantation was conducted for
several years near Sacramento, CAL,
and was fairly successful, but discon-
tinued some ten years ago on account of
the heaviness of the soil, licorice pre-
ferring light, sandy loan. From some
similar attempts IN the San Joaquin
Valley the licorice has run wild, and is
now growing finely in several patches,
one at least twenty-five acres in extent.
Licorice is being successfully grown on
small scale at Philadelphia by gentle
man interested in the subject. With a
temperate climate, rich, loose soil and
patience, there is no reason why lic0rlce
may not be profitably grown in the
United States. The accompanying notes
on it's culture may be of interest:
Licorice is usually propagated by
means Of the roots, which should be
planted in the spring, about six inches
apart in fcur-foot rows. AS the roots
often grow to be three feet long, the
ground should be trenched to the depth
of two feet, for unless the soil be loose
the best development of the roots is not
obtained. The culture should be clean,
and continued for four or five years,
starting fresh plantation each spring,
as in the case of chicory. After the TO-
liage turns yellow in the tail it should
be moved off, and the plants covered
for the winter with some strawy ma
nure. When the sufficiently grown
roots are lifted which should be done
late in the fall, after the sap has fully
descended, the short, branching, fbrou
roots should be cut off and they may b.
planted IN pieces five to six inches long
dibbling them into the rows and cover
ing them shallow. The yield per acr
has been stated to be two tons of fresl
roots, which should be dried at abou
100 degrees F. Factories for the com
