For the Florida Agriculturist.
Using Muck Lands.

In all parts of the country there are
lands which either have been or still
are, submerged, but which are entire
ly neglected for agricultural purposes
under the supposition that they are
incapable of bearing crops. In
many cases the excess of water &C
tually does prevent cultivation, but
usually this surplus water could, and
would, be removed by drainage were
the belief in the uselesness of the soil
not so firmly fixed. In certain locali-
ties those lands, really muck or peat
soils, are given names indicating the
general belief in their worthlessness.
The Bogus Sols'' of the central west
ern states being typical of this class
Where excess of water still exists,
an excess which renders working of
the soil impossible, it's removal is nee
essarily the first essential to their
utilization. This is accomplished,
however, by either open or tile drains
sufficient to remove enough water to
enable teams to work the soil, and
this land really becomes capable of
utilization for the growing of most

resident property owners who also
fail to pay, but the nonresident own
er is responsible for at least large
portion of the delinquent lists-for
which the country printer is duly
thankful.
The legislative Investigating COM
mittee has reported shortage of over
$50, 900 in the accounts of State Treas
urer Collins. The committee also rec
commended the impeachment of Mr..
Collins. 1t is said that the report is
not altogether free of politics, as one
of the senatorial aspirants is linked
up in the committees report.

cred the ground, will need no fertili-
cation. My trees are growing on the
very poorest white sand, but they
grow as if they were highly fortified.
The crop of leaves and twigs can be
gathered at any season. Thy can be
gathered from the trees after they are
three years old and with actual bene-
fit to the tree. The inside cuttings to
such trees will weigh 100 to $50
pounds. In regard to the proper
method of cultivation Mr.. Hubbard
says:
For quick returns perhaps the
hedge system is the best-that is to
say, trees four or five feet apart
in hedge rows fifteen feet apart. For
ordinary planting I would suggest
plants fifteen feet apart in rows TWEEN
ty feet apart, the intention being to
keep the trees cut back to the size
of eight or ten years. Planting IN
this method [ think a planua zion in
the fourth season should return $500
to $500 per acre with camphor gum at
40 cents pound. The fifth season
ought to double this return
This is a better return than the
average ever received by any orange
grower. Camphor is often rs cents
pound. The tree is propagated
from the seed, which can now be pro-
cured from prominent seedsmen and
perhaps from the government. My
plants were sent me from the govern
ment gardens at Washington. The
cuttings can be used if properly ma
nipulated.
every owner of camphor plan
ia ton should have a distilling plant
of his own as the cost is slight and
will soon pay for itself. Small grow
ers should be able to send their pro-
duct to large growers to be distilled.
If camphor cultivation is largely en-
tered into there will doubtless be
built in several centers Of production
camphor distilleries for the conven-
fence of small growers. | venture to
predict that in ten years, that ii
camphor is raised largely in Florida,
it's product will exceed that ever got
from oranges.
Aside from it's economical uses,
the camphor tree is the most orna-
mental tree ever cultivated It's beau
tiful shape is only equalled by the
arbor vitae. It's lower branches lie
upon the ground, while it's top forms
a perfect cone The leaves are a
lovely pale, CLASSY green. The flowers
are small but very pretty

for either approving or vetoing the
measure passed without the governor
taking action.
We devote a considera bic portion Of

The changes in the tariff on citrus

that after all he may get wee bit of
a plum out of the protection pudding.
The mammoth tax sales-or lands
advertised to be sold for delinquent
taxes now being published in the vari-
Gus counties of Florida, may convey
the impression to those unacquainted
with the true condition, to the belief
that the whole state of Florida is be-
ing sold for taxes. This is, in fact,
not the case. Florida is afflicted with
a large number of nonresident own
ers who either refuse or neglect TO
pay their taxes until their attention
is called to the matter by a tax sale
advertisement. Of course there are

The Railroad Commission Law.

branches of the Florida Legislature
The law is said to be conservative
and treats both the transportation
companies and it's patrons with equa
consideration-that is as equal as &
law of the kind could. The railroads
as well as the soil tillers are potent
factors in the development of the
country, and this fact should not be
overlooked.
The railroads, however, without the
producers would never develop Flor
ida, and, on the other hand, the pro
ducers without railroads would make
slow progress in the work Of develop
ment., Thes facts are worthy of more
than a passing thought land nothing
should be done that would cripple the
usefulness of either class; on the con
trary both should be given every pos
sible encouragement to increase theil
efforts in the good work of develop
ing the resources of the country.
Everyone who has looked into the
existing conditions will ad init that
something was necessary to increase
the producers profits. They have
laid their troubles at the doors OF the
transportation companies, claiming
that the rates of transportation fol
their produce were so high that the
small profits that would otherwise
have been theirs were all consumed
The claim is by no means without
foundation, but we have all the time
lived in hopes that no legislative &C
ton would be necessary in order tc
make the transportation companies
pursue a more liberal policy.
The railroads have claimed tha1
they were operating at loss, or al
the very best with very small mar
gin of profit. The quarterly reports
of receivers of some of the Floridt
railroads substantiate this statement
This condition of affairs is accounted
for bv the small volume of business
IT would seem to us that it would
have been the best policy on the par
of the railroads to have endeavored tt
increase their revenues by stimulat
ing a greater production This slim
ulant could have been administered il
a most effective manner in the form
of a reduction of rates. If light ton
mage was the cause OF excessive
Dricessaabhe trouble could have beer
adiustef1# to the satisfaction OF al
parties by increasing the tonnage
with which increase would necesSar
ilv have come lower rates-if tn
reason of excessive rates, as given b.
the transportation companies was
true one
The stimulating process, however
was not applied, and in some case
the railroads attempted to make goo'
their lost revenues caused by the fail
ure of the orange crop, by an increas
in rates on other produce. The plal
was a bad one land whether or no
the railroad commission law will rem
edy the evil remains to be seen.

Camphor Tree Cultivation.

Chicago Tribune, is a valuable con-
tribution to information on this sub
ject. Dr. Hale is a well-known writer
on scientific subjects, and his views
are therefore of value. Regarding the
cultivation of the camphor tree in this
state the doctor says:
''It is the opinion of far-sighted
men who have lately given this SUBJ
ject much attention that the cultiva-
tion of the camphor tree in Florida
may become Of greater Importance
than that of the orange or any other
crop
''The world is looking anxiously for
some new source of supply for cam
phor. Former supplies came from
China, Japan and Formosa. In China
it is not now cultivated. In Japan
only a limited amount of camphor
forest remains. This is under govern
ment control mad the output is very
limited. The island of Formosa re-
mains the principal source of supply.
The interior of the island used to be
one vast camphor forest. The trees
there grow to very large size. They
are said to reach height Of $50 feet.
The natives collect the camphor by
terribly wasteful method. The whole
tree is cut down and the roots dug
up. The wood roots contain the most
camphor The leaves are not used,
although they contain large
will soon annihilate the forests unless
the present owners of Formosa can
arrest it. The method of preparing
the gum varies; but generally the
chips of the wood and roots and bark
are boiled in some great caldrons or
pans and the gum, volatized, is caught
in meshes of straw or tubs over the
caldron.
"Camphor gum has already been
made in Florida from the leaves and
twigs of young trees. They yield
about one pound of solid, refined gum
to every twenty-seven pounds OF fresh
leaves 1t is not necessary to injure

of pruning without injury. 1t is an
evergreen and makes three growths a

feet high and would have been thirty,

One can hardly see through the foil
age. One-half of the interior and eX-
terror growth could be cut out and
hardly be missed. II freeze comes,
it does not destroy the value OF the
foliage, for camphor can be made
from the frozen leaves. Few are aware
how important is camphor as an ar
ticle of commerce. Its use in medi-
cine is but a drop in the bucket COM
pared with it's use in the arts. The Oil
which was formerly considered
worthless, is now more valuable than
the gum, as it has become indispensa-

MCKINLEY REBUKED.

The accomplishment of a victory over
the Mckinley Republicans of this state
and county is triumph of the best and
most patriotic sentiment of the state.
That the local results fall to Populists,
that the loaves and fishes are theirs
does our sense of right and our spirit of
local pride and state interest no injury.
The routing Of the Mckinley forces
was triumph of decency, a victory OF
silver over gold monometallism and OF
clean men and clean methods over foul
desertion of state, home and country.
Postof6ces and promises of postofflces
have availed nothing. The people have
been true to themselves and are celebrat.
ing their victory all over this broad coun-
ny of ours. They hauled Mrs. Gala
han, in a robe of white, with silver
background and an appetite for office all
over town last night. They hauled the
deceased and decomposing corpse of
Marcus A. Hanna all over the fair fields
of Ohio yesternight; Mckinley Republi-
canlsm was hauled over the Brooklyn
bridge half way and buried indecently in
the element olltely designated as water;
Mayor Harrison of Chicago was render
ed happy by advices from Democratic
precincts in states loyal to silver, though
not producing an ounce of that metal,
and Tom Watson, reading the proof of
his weekly paper whose issue is due
next week, pinched his off thigh and ran
his ringers through his auburn curl in
very glee because his prophecy of the
decease of the Peoples party had failed
by the triumphant election OF Joe Bailey
for constable IN Boulder. Joe's victory
is regarded in a national sense as the
very elimination of Mckinley hope. He
had but one hand with which 10 grasp
the McKinley-P opulist paw, but that
absent hand was eloquent. And it
grasped. All eyes were turned toward
ooulder county and "she done her duty"
She and Hamilton county, Ohio, The

buke to McKinIeyism and she is here for
that purpose. The tiger and the ele

IDENTITY owes himself a srudge, as is ap-

We are sitting up nights contrlv!ng some
sort of scheme to reconcile Boulder and

Hon. Frank Downer and Frank Stickney
that lead us to the conclusion that some
time in the next century Longmont will
vote for a Boulder man. Such a con.
summation would be worth all our travail
and worriment over the Ohio situation.
Conclusive proof of this determination

ticket in Arapahoe county, Hannas de-
feat, Van Wyck's triumphant election,
the discovery of the residence of Strad-
ley, our next surveyor, added to the fact
that Prof. Harding of Longmont was in
