Leather Manufacturer gives the value Of
the green root as six dollars per ton. The
sliced and dried root sells readily in
Glasgow, Scotland, at forty dollars per
ton. The demand is practically un-
limited.
The root will be planted q mile or two
south of town, partly in young orange
groves that were cut off by last winters
cold, and partly on vacant land. In the
young groves the plants will be put out
in rows between the rows of the trees.
The plant somewhat ressm bles rhubarb
or pie-plant, but is somewhat smaller,
and there Is nothing about it to remain
in the ground to interfere with subse-
quent cultivation. Mr.. Gore now has a
green plant with the roots attached, in
his office, which can be seen by those
who care to examine it.
If this experiment of Mr.. Kerr's proves
successful, 1t is his purpose to plant on
far larger scale next year, as well as to
supply Florida farmers with seed root to
enable them to engage in the cultivation

Preserve Moisture by Cultivation.


Mr.. Ell. z. Gotta, of Illinois, writing to
Farm and Garden about preserving
moisture in the soil by shallow cultiva-
ton and keeping always we'll pulver-
lied coating of soil on top, which may
remain perfectly dry, in fact the drier
the better, says:
Gust before a rain which broke one
of our longest drouths, dug into this
plat of ground where the gooseberries
were, to find the condition of the soil.
The top three-fourths of an inch was
dry and dusty. Just below this it was
moist enough to pack into balls in the
hands, and continued about the same to
the depth of two feet Below this it be-
came gradually more moist until 81 feet
below the surface. Where | stopped

Colossal raspberries that had been

The above illustrates we'll the great
advantages Of careful shallow cultiva-
tion, says the California Fruit Grower.
A dust blanket an inch or so in depth
effectually prevents evaporation of the
moisture in the soil below, and preserves
it for the use of the plants. Frequent
cultivati on and pulverizing breaks up
the capillarity of the soil, thus prevent

Oansigre Culture.
DeFuniak Springs, Fla.

A carload of canaigre root was received
Tuesday by Mayor Gore, to be used in
an experimental plantation near this
place. The root came from Monahaus,
Texas. 1t was shipped by R. J. Kerr,
for whom the experiment is to be made.
This is comparatively new plant in
the commercial world. It is a native OF
the arid regions of Arizona and New
Mexico, where it was found in natural
state, and where its value as source OF
tannic acid was first discovered. The
first shipment for the purpose Of tanning
was wild roots. The demand was found
to be so great, and the profits to the dig
gers so large, that there was danger OF
determination of the plant. Then some
far-slghted men undertook the cultiva-
ton of the plant. Among these was Mr..
Kerr, who has now extensive plantations
in New Mexico, Old Mexico, Arizona and
Texas
1t responds readily to cultivation. the
root attaining to twice or four times the
size and weight of those found in wild
condition. Analysis shows the root ia
contain 20 to 80 per cent. of tannic acid,
and it is easily extracted and rendered
available for use.
In the experiments conducted in the
West, it seems to thrive best in sandy,
friable soil. 1t is in such land that the
roots attain the largest size, and thus fa1
it seems to do best in poor lands.
A year or two ago Mr.. Kerr sent small
quantities of the root to different por.
lions of this State to have it tested. The
result was so satisfactory that he visited
Florida in October last, and while here
arranged with Mr.. Gore for planting on
somewhat extensive scale Prepare
tions have been quietly conducted for
some time. Mr.. A. G.. Branham was en-
listed, and he now has fifty acres Of land
prepared for immediate planting. The
work began yesterday and will be
pushed with all possible dispatch, as the
season is already well advanced. It is a
winter growing plant, making it's growth
from November to April, when the tor
dies off, and if not dug the roots remain
dormant through the summer. 1t grows
and thrlves through the frosts and win.
ters of New Mexico and Arizona, and
therefore will never find cold enough in
Florida to injure it. Mr.. l.. C. Smith, a
winter resident of Florida, obtained a
small quantity of seed root year ago,
which he planted. 1t is now making a
strong and vigorous growth, and he is sc
well pleased with it that he is preparing
to plant two or three acres more at once.
Mr.. Smith is practical tanner, and has
tested the acid. He believes that it is
destined to supplant oak and hemlock
bark as source Of tannin for the vse OF
the leather makers.
This experiment may prove of great
value to farmers of Florida who are look
ing for reliable money crop. Prof. A.
E. Blount, of the College of Agriculture,
New Mexico, gives the yield under cul'
tlvation as ten tons per acre; and the

grafton sets in on large scale, rice will
be one of the main crops for money
crop, that the Southern farmer can al
ways turn to with the certainty of salts
factory results. There is no reason
whatever why this country should i'm
port such quantity of rice every year,
when we can produce it just as easy in
the southern states, as wheat can be
produced in the northern.
In growing rice crop it is generally
recommended to have it, if possible, on
new land, but where large acreage of
it is grown annually, this would be quite
an lmposslbility. Bnt let the land be
new or old, crop of rice on our sandy
pine lands of Florida has to be we'll ferti-
lized with potash. You can easily tell
rice grown on land poor in potash or
without potash fertilizer, by the number
of empty hulls on the stalk, and it is
right here that the potash tells in it's re-
suits on grain production. There is no
crop that will outyield rice, if properly
looked after and treated with the proper
fertilizers, and taking it all around,
know my farmer friends will bear me
out, when say that no crop that make
gives me more satisfaction, than my rice
crop.
If am going to make crop on new
land, want the land we'll broken up
during the previous winter, blowing it
first with good turning plow, and chen
cross blowing it with either double
shovel plow, or an ordinary five tooth
cultivator, and then narrowing it over
and over again, until get all the sod
broken up. At the last narrowing |
scatter broadcast four hundred pounds
of kainit per acre and harrow it well in.
When am ready to begin planting, l
run burrows with bull tongue plow,
about three feet apart. In these burrows
/ scatter about two to three hundred
pounds per acre of a fertilizer contain
ing acid phosphate and potash, not less
than eight per cent each. | mix this
fertilizer we'll with the soil, by dragging
a chain IN the furrow or running a bull
tongue plow through 1T. then sow my
seed, about three pecks per acre, which
makes it pretty thick; but, as a rule, at
least Is per cent of the rice generally
grown is nothing but empty hulls or at
least undeveloped to that extent, so we
have to be liberal with the seeding.
After the plants are up, treat the crop
to little top dressing Of nitrate of soda,
which gives the plants good start; then,
during the season, keep 1t well cultivated
and clean mp to the time it stools, and
then you may consider the crop made.
In this latitude, if we plant our rice crop
in March or beginning of April, we can
always depend on getting second crop
from the stubble of the first crop. This
second crop is generally not so good as
the first, but If we fertilize it when we
cut the first crop and give good Guilt
walton once or twice, it well repays us
for our trouble. In using old land for a
rice crop, like to pillow the land well a
couple of months ahead of planting

such as crab grass, weeds, ETC., COM
