The pineapple growers are kicking
on the late action of the Ways and
Means committee in reducing the tar
if on pineapples from two cents per
pound six cents per cubic foot. This
change was made at the earnest solicit
tation of the Gamers of Baltimore,
who claimed that the tariff would OPP
crate greatly to their disadvantage,
and at the same time prove disastrous
to shipping interests from that port,
asa number of vessels were dependent
upon pineapples for return cargoes
from their West Indian trips.
One of our exchanges suggests that
''if the government really wants to
benefit the farmers it should have a
short manual prepared, giving the
farmers some idea of business meth
DDS. If any business man should con-
duct his affairs in the slipshOd man
ner common among farmers he would
soon fetch up in a poorhouse." This
is rather hard on that farmer. but it
is more or less true.

cents at the farm for such sugar, this
would be $50 per acre on the average
crop reported by our correspondents,
or better return than they can get
from any other staple. The prospect
now is that the price of raws will inn
prove slightly for few years under
the proposed national policy toward
this industry. Certainly the chances
are against it's going any lower
Some time ago we published copi-
Gus extracts from the excellent bulle-
tin by Prof. Stubbs, of the Louisiana
Sugar Experiment Station. This bull
letin fully demonstrated the possibil-
ity of profitable sugar culture on a
small scale, and we are surprised
that Florida farmers who have suit
able land have not paid more atten-
ton to the industry.
The Waldo farmer says that the av-
erage yield is about 1900 pounds per
acre, and if the product can be sold
at two and one-half cents per pound,
it certainly seems there would be a
fair margin of profit.
Of course cane should be planted
only on the best quality of land. Even
under the most favorable conditions
it would hardly prove profitable on
poor land, as the cost of cultivation
would be too great.
