several days finished its laborS last night
and adjourned to meet subject to call. The
federationists We're jubilant over the de-

another convention will be called inside the

Cane Excitement Continues.

l find, says S. w. Carson of Frost Proof,
Fla, in an article in the Florida Agricul-
turist, that in some way an inaccuracy
appeared in my last article in reference to
Crooked Lake lands. Just where your
scribe stuck in his wonderful prophesy
that two railroads would cross Crooked
Lake at some future day, l aimed to tell
the readers just there, that there was a
large amount of land in the Crooked Lake
marsh and around it as we'll as about Lake
Hancock, suitable for cane with drainage
now almost completed. wish to say fur
Their, as there is much unfounded skept-
cism in regard to our high sand hill lands
in South Florida for cane production, that
under such fertilization as is employed in
the production of profitable cane crops in
any other country there is not the slight
est ground for fear. Those who are fog
tunate enough to read the Louisiana Plan
ter 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 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 willing
to lose the benefit to be derived from this
highly important quantity of nitrogen
which is added to their lands by the pea
vines when imbedded in the soil. [ saw an
account of a planter blowing them in in
his stubble cane patch and l wondered
how he raised them. Fertilizer even lightly
used on our sandy lands and especially
where the clay is at a desirable depth,
gives results almost phenomenal. Yes sand
hill hammock, flatwoods or muck soils are
all suited to sweet cane in South Florida,
and, in my judgment, the sand hill soil is
preferable on several accounts and espe-
cially as both the quality and quantity of
cane produced are found to be superior.
