Again it is not always the largest grower or the
Oldest one that can give the best information.
Not NO long ago one of the Oldest pineapple
growers in Florida announced that he had dis
covered the only true fertilizer for pineapple
plants, which consisted of dried blood and saw
dust composted. The dried blood unquestion-
ably was a good fertilizer but how about the
sawdust on our light sandy soil? Some years
ago we tried to get every correspondent in de-
scribing his experience with different crops, ETC.,
to give the kind of land he cultivated. what part
of the state etc., but we failed to do it although
for O time we would hold communications until
such information could be had. Again very few
would care to give their pedigree as pineapple
grower. Mr.. VanHouten does not set the ex-
ample himself and we're it not for personal knowl-
edge the editor would not be able from his letter
to tell whether Mr.. vanHouten grew one acre Of
pines or more. But the fact that he has been to
the Azores and saw the plants there and brought
the pines with him and is growing them, makes
his statements important even though he had
but small patch. The discussion will be OF SER
vice to those seeking information on the subject,
and We trust that Mr.. VanHouten will let us
hear from him again.

WILL RAISE CUBAN TOBACCO.

The St. Augustine corresponds Mt of the
Citizen says that the Cuban revolution will
prove beneficial to that place in at least
one respect. Among the refugees in this
city from the island is Senior Castillo and
family. Senior Castillo has devoted many
years to the raising and curing of fine
Cuban tobacco, and, not desiring to be
idle while the struggle is going on in his
native country. he has determined to en-
bark in the business in Florida. It has
been demonstrated on several occasions
that fine grade of Cuban tobacco can be
raised in this country. and, after an ex-
animation of the soil, Senior Castillo has
come to the same conclusion, but unlike
the residents of this part of the state, the
Cuban has the advantage of knowing how
to cure the leaf when it is grown. He has
secured fine tract of land on North
river, notufar from the city. and left here
in sailb oat this morning to see about get
ting his land in order for crop. ST.
Johns county has needed the advice of
practical grower and curer, and, under
Senior Castillo's guidance, the cultivation
of a fine grade of Cuban leaf may be
placed on the market by many residents of
this part of the state.

for the various displays, besides Offering

Jacksonville could afford, and would do a
great deal to make it a success but it
should not all be left for her to bear as the
whole state is interested and each county
should not only make an appropriation to
help make the fair a great success, but as
sist with a good display of her staple
crops. IF this were done it would be a
great educator to the people who visit the
fair as they could then better tell to what
section they preferred. The southern
counties could make a display that
would be tropical in its appearance
and make up, while the northern counties
could make an exhibit that would make
some of the northern and western farmers
think they were attending one Of their own
fairs in which they take so much pride.
Not only would the fair be an educator
to the people who visit the state but also
to her own people. Low excursion rates.
that would be put on, would enable the
farmers and fruit growers all over the state
to visit Jacksonville and by studying the
exhibits of the different counties they
could become acquainted with what can be
produced outside of their own county and
also by meeting men from other sections
could learn much that would be beneficial
and help broaden their views and in
crease their stock of knowledge.
If we have such a fair it is time to begin
to make preparations now and get out an
attractive premium list and place it in
the hands of every farmer and fruit
grower in the state.
The AGR1CULTUR1sT is ready to do every
thing in its power to make the fair sue
cess if undertaken and we would like to
hear from the farmers and fruit rasers
and the press of the state. Don't be
afraid to speak out.

PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.

In an address delivered by DR.. Chas. w.
Dabney, Jr., assistant secretary of agri-
culture, before the Farmers Institute at
Ashland, Va, on the subject of Progress
of the South, we find the following para
graph in reference to Florida:
Everyone is familiar with the mar
velous development of the citrus fruit in
dustry Of Florida alas! temporarily de-
stroyed as result Of the great freezes of
18o4-'o5, but destined to grow up again
upon grander scale. The orange grow
ing industry alone, according to the Flor
ida Fruit Exchange. produced in the sea-
son of 1887-'88, 1900, 900 crates of or
anges, and reached its maximum in 1903
"a, when S, 500, 900 crates were shipped to
market. The terrible frosts have taught
the people of Florida the necessity of di-
versifying their fruit culture also. and they
are now going largely into vegetable grow
ing. the growing of pineapples, and a
greater variety of fruits, which will in a
measure insure them against the disasters
which follow where only one money crop
is Produced
In concluding the address Mr.. Dabney
says:
II have no sympathy whatever with the
calamity bowler who would make US be-
lieve that farming is ruined beyond re-
demption, or with the demagogical quack
who will persuade you that if you do not
take his particular remedy the country
will 60 to destruction. But we must all
face the fact that Virginia and the south
are just now passing through one of the
severest trials in the long sad period of re-
construction-the reconstruction of the in
dustrial and commercial life of the coun-
try, which is far more tedious and trying
than was the political reconstruction.
Such reconstruction is absolutely necessary
in all countries and in all times, and is the
precursor of growth and progress. But if
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-08-05

I read the signs of the times rightly and
understand the meaning of the facts that
have laid before you, this distressing
period is nearly past and the south stands
upon the eve of an era of industrial pros
perity such as she has ever seen before.
The southern farmer is destined to do far
more and much better in the near future
than he has done in the past do not
mean by this that every individual is going
to attain success or that every county will
be restored to prosperity. In the COM
plete reorganization of industry which is
taking place some sections and some peo.
pie may be entirely ruined. Only those
who learn the new methods will share in
the coming prosperity
The facts cited indicate along what
lines she will accomplish this. Diversified
farming and the production of home sup,
plies must be the rule everywhere. The
Atlantic coast is destined to be the vege-
table garden of America. The farmer
will learn to live at home and make his
cotton and tobacco bis surplus-his real
money crop-and not his food and cloth
ing as they used to be. Our magnificent
Piedmont and mountain sections will be
devoted to mixed farming, especially the
production Of fruits meats. and dairy
products. The manufactures of cotton,
tobacco, iron, hardwood, etc., which are
rapidly being established in all sections Of
the south, will make a home market for
products of every kind and add to the de
mand already existing in the north.
ITO the southern farmer my word would
be: Cheer up; there is good time com
ing. Be not deceived by either the calam-
ity bowler or the political quack. Neither
silver nor gold will buy prosperity; only
hard work will do that You must have
something to sell before you can get money
of any kind and this something the farmer
must take out of the SOIL The only true
measures of prosperity are the products of
the farm, and these will find markets if
they are of proper character. The sue
cessful farmer is the man who grows the
best and finest things-nice fruit nice
vegetables-or manufactures his farm pro-
duce to the highest degree before he sells
it, 1t IS not the man who makes ordinary
tobacco who grows rich, but the man who
makes fancy tobacco. It is not the man
who grows corn and oats who makes the
money, but the man who feeds these to
stock, and thus converts them into meat,
milk and butter. We must fertilize our
farms with brains and convert our produce
into the things which somebody needs, if
we would get good price for them"
