For the Florida Agriculturist.
Cane Excitement Continues

| find that in some way an mac
curacy appeared in my last article in
reference to Crooked lake lands.
Just where your scribe stuck in his
wonderful prophesy that two rail
roads would cross Crooked lake at
some future day, [ aimed to tell the
readers just there, that there was a
large amount of land in the Crooked
lake marsh and around it as well as
about Lake Hancock, suitable for cane
with drainage now almost completed.
I wish to say further, as there is
much unfounded skepticism in regard
to our high sand hill lands in South
Florida for cane production, that un--
der such fertiliza ton as is employed
in the production of profitable cane
crops in any other country there is
not the slightest ground for fear.
Those who are fortunate enough to
read the Louisiana Planter, know that
large amount of the once virgin
soil of that state cannot longer be
farmed successfully in sweet cane
minus fertilizer of some character
and it is now the practice largely to
plant peas thick on their prospective
cane land early enough in the season
to insure a dense mat of vines which
they turn under in the fall with
heavy teams and big plows after the
crop is well matured. They are not
