Neither is it the place for the vegeta,

of plant growth, pineapples; and

persimmons can be grown on an acre

For the Florida AgriculturIst.
Five Years in Florida.

The sentiments in this brief paper
are based upon an experience of five
years in the central part of South
Florida; in the section known as the
Lake Region, about midway between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf OF
Mexico, and on the highest elevation
nowhere above two hundred feet
above level-in the State; section
covered with pine, oak, palmetto;
with yellow soil that needs fereili-
Zers to some considerable extent;
amid hundreds of lakes of the purest
water in the world, clear, sweet, deep;
with a yellow soil that needs fertili-
hence with no areas subject to over
flow, to stagnant water, to trouble
some insects, to malaria.
Twenty-Five years of residence in
various parts of Colorado, with more
or less of pioneering and town build
ing work mixed with newspaper ex-
perience, finally brought on so general
a disturbance of the nervous system
with a loss of physical energy so seri-
GUS that [ was advised to seek lower
altitude where the tension of the rare
atmosphere upon the system would
not be so great. So, after a month OF
California, | came to Florida in the
middle of the summer OF 1892, and al
ter a careful examination of sea coast
and gulf coast country, decided to set
county, securing about one thousand
acres of land bordered by half dozen
lakes; with the idea in my mind that,
if climate favored recovery of health
to some extent, I could gather about
me a little settlement i'm the woods Of
those who, like myself, broken down
in health or fortune, could here, per-
haps, recover both. [ selected July as
the month to begin my experience in
order to find out in the start how true
the stories were that had been told
of the FlOridian summer.
I found that the range of the ther-
mometer ran from 80 to 96, the latter
but twice that first summer and, as l
had sweltered for weeks in Grand
Valley in western Colorado when ia
in the shade was common thing in
July and August found the compar-
ison very favorable. That it is hot
and unwise to expose ones self long
to the heat of the middle of the day,
is true; but the early hours from 5
to a. M, and from p. M, to sun,
set are the hours for out door work
from April to September and the
noon-day rest is good for both man
and beast. Then the showers that
were of almost daily occurrence cool

blew from coast to gulf made the

month renewed vegetation was ram,
pant; then in February, '95, came the
climatic convulsion that moved the Or
ange belt section one hundred miles
further south in the State and de-
stroyed all hopes of pineapple crop
for the year.
Even then, in the pineapple dis
trcts, it was found that the plants
were not killed; only laid PROSTATE to
the ground. The warm, dry sand held
no moisture for an inch or so below
the surface and so the frost had no.
thing to feed on. By April the tiny
green leaves were shooting up and
since then have been growing in a
way so encouraging that firmer faith
than ever has been established in a
tropical industry that will stand a test
of ten degrees of freezing weather in
one winter and survive
So we lost two years by the freeze
but we learned that the pineapple was
safer than the orange. lesson prob
ably worth all that it has cost us to
learn and one that the new conner has
the benefit of. And so partial success
followed by failure from phenome-
nal cause beyond human control and
one that may not occur again in TWEEN
ty or more years, is the story [ have
to tell of the last five years in Florida.
But the present and future outlook
is so good that | have no reason to
complain. There are drawbacks and
discoura gements; but these are to be
found everywhere.
The main point with me was that OF
health and for the last four years it
has seemed to me as if [ had, in some
measure, renewed my youth. For
nervous prostra ton there is panacea
in Florida piney woods as I know
from actual experience. SO that On
this point I have no hesitation when
asked for an opinion. [ site my own
case and say come and be cured.
But, is Florida good place to come
to? That depends. [ have been asked
the question by hundreds of corre-
spondents-ca a poor man succeed?
Can he make a home and a living?
These questions are hard ones to an.
swer; so much depends on the man.
In the section that I am in no man
with a family could establish himself
and support his family until his pine
apple crop came to it's first ripening,
unless he has money enough on hand
to pay his living expenses for two
wears. How much would be required
is gagged by the measure of his neces-
stiles; on general principles I would
say $500 would be the least sum,
while 81 900 would comfortably estab>
lish him. The first two years are the
critical years.

nights as comfortable as one could de-
sire.
Within three months | found my
sixty years dropping away from me,
my nervous system beginning to re-
cover it's normal tone and a study Of
the problem how to make living had
led to the belief that certain fruits
would succeed and be profitable as a
crop. The orange industry in that
wear seemed overdone and, in any
event would take five or seven years
before returns would come in; but
the pineapple was fruit that would
ing and all the figures [ had observed
gave net profit of from $500 to $500
per acre: so that if one had five acres
he might reasonably expect to be able
to live comfortably, provided he had
no very expensive tastes and no very
large family, of graded ages. So the
pineapple was taken Up as the special
industry to develop; assin the past the
peach in western Colorado had been
and woud still have been, had not the
doctors words of warning sent me
awav from the land of sunshine and
SHOWS to the land of sunshine and
flowers.
Five years have passed. Five years
of partial success and partial failure,
the first because all climatic condi-
tions that properly may be expected
of Florida were as hoped for. The soil,
that seemed but sea of sand that lay
yellow in the moonlight and warm in
the sunshine, responded quickly to
the plant food given it; tree and bush
and vine grew luXuriantly; two win
ters with no touch of frost and two
summers that ripened to the fruiting
a few hundred pineapples planted in
the fall of 1892, gave proof that lands
selling for SIS to $25 per acre were
capable of producing 10000 pineapples
on each acre and in the fall of 1894
there were nearly $4,000 pineapples
growing in the little colony settle
ment at Pabor Lake, which soon had
it's postoffice and monthly newspaper
and all interested felt that in one
year more the problem of success OF
failure would be demonstrated.
Then, in December, there came an
icy blast from Dakota and the land
of flowers was as a mother mourning
for her children and refusing to Dt
comforted. 1t was but for night but
apparent desolation followed the path
of the lev visitor. Yet, had there been
no more of it, all would have been
well with Florida, for it soon was ap-
parent that the heart of pineapple and
guava, mango and other tropical
fruits had not been injured and the
citrus trees soon showed that no vital
spot had been reached. Within a
