Bryan's Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
q great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time? 1t is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
pie can learn whole lot ahOnt silver
and the effect of cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years. They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them To- know during the four shora
months Of the last campaign. 1t is no.
ticeable that in the states where the quesN
ton was most discussed the majori-
ties against Bryan were, heavy or his
majorities were Unexpectedly small,
If the silverites will think of the great
amount of work done in the states west
of Pennsylvania, east Of Colorado and
north of Tennessee and reflect upon the
result of the election, they will, if they
are wise and want to win in 1900, con-
clude to drop educational work and to
proceed ON some less dangerous line If
Bryan and his friends would stop talk
ing about silver for three years, it would
be difficult for the ''goldbugs" to get
people to listen to their convincing argu-
ments. If our hard times should unfor-
tunately continue, Bryan might step out
few days before the 1900 election and
say, II told you SO, and majority c.
the voters, without having given the
matter much thought, might conclude
that perhaps the "crime Of 1878" was
responsible for the lack of prosperity.
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity to any
country, though they have often brought
hard times. The wage earners will un
derstand that 16 to is an underhande6
scheme to lower wages and the farmers
that they cannot, by juggling with CHEAP
money, get any advantage of the rest Of
the world in the matter of prices of farm
products. This educational work mus
be stopped short, or the cause Of fret
silver is lost.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-12-01
Value of Humus.

recent bulletin of the Minnesota
Experiment Station discusses humus,
and draws the following conclusions:
The animal and vegetable substance
in the soil in varying degrees of decay
or decomposition are collectively spo-
ken of as humus, or organic matter.
These substances, when they reach
the proper stage of decay, unite,
CHEMICALLY, with the potash, phosphor-
ic acid and lime of the soil, forming
compounds called humates.
Humus has been found to be valua-
BILE in the following ways:
1. 1t absorbs or fixes" nitrogen,
thus preventing the loss of this, the
most valuable of all fertilizing ele-
ments.
2. It absorbs water, thus enabling
the soil to better withstand drouths.
3. 1t renders potash and phosphoric
acid soluble, so that they can be taken
into the sap of plants through the
roots.
For these reasons farm manures
possess an advantage and value over
and above the market price of the nj
trogen, potash and phosphoric acid
they contain. Their bulk is mostly
humus, valuable material which ex-
lists in very small quantities in COM
mercial fertilizers.
For the same reason clover, peas
and other green crops-even weeds
turned under, are largely beneficial to
land, aside from the nitrogen they
have gathered from the air and the
phosphoric acid and potash their long
roots may have brought up from the
subsoil.

Moisture in the Soil.

Everybody knows that water in The
soil is essential to plant growth. All
farmers know that there is a great
difference in the power of soils to
hold water under similar climatic
conditions. Scientific men seek to
make our knowledge more definite by
ascertaining exactly how much water
different classes of soil will retain,
and how this water-retaining power
may be modified by mans action in
cropping, fertilization and cultivation.
In what we term extensive cultiva
ton, where large areas are devoted to
a single crop the main value of this
information will be in the purchase of
land. The intending buyer may take
samples of soil to the desired depth
and by submitting them to an expert
may know in advance almost the eX-
act behavior of the soil under differ
ent rainfalls. This is most important

Essential Crops.


occasionally individuals in support of
the tobacco and vegetable interest of
our beloved county, there is scarcely
ever a line written in support OF what
should be the main products, that, to
mind, every farmer can and should
raise, to-wit: Corn, cane, rice, sweet
potatoes, oats, chufas, etc. These
crops, to my mind, as well as to my
own experiences, are the only safe
guard to our farmers in South Flor
ida, and l believe one of the prime
causes of the regular farm crops be-
ing neglected is that so much has
been said by newspapers, corporations
and the like, in favor of the growing
of luxuries, and how abundantly they
paw; and SO little said in favor of reg
ular farm products and whether or
not they will pay. I remember having
said in the years gone by, and when
nv groves flourished, that it was
cheaper to buy corn, bacon, etc., than
to raise it; but that was when [ was
in the orange boom. But after a while
there came a time when [ was sorry
that [ had said any such thing, being
a farmer and stock raiser. [ think
that I have sufficiently repented for
such saying as never to say it again,
and in this communication [ don't
wish to down any industry of our
county, but wish them all success so
far as success can possibly attend.
Many of our farmers have failed for
the last few years, and it is a fact
that some of our best citizens have
lost their homes by mortgaging, or
otherwise, and [ have tried to look
into the causes that have led to such
loss in these later days, for many OF
us old settlers lived here when no
such things were known or heard Of,
and, to my mind, the principal causes
of so many failures is that a tremend-
Gus thirst for money has crept into
the mind and hearts of our people,
hence the entire planting of money
crops something to ship that will
bring the so much desired cash. Men
who live in town and draw a salary,
will plant one-fourth or half an acre
in toma toes, tobacco, or the like, and
one perhaps out of ten will do well.
The newspapers take up that case,
and it goes to the four quarters of
the world, and our farmers, forgetting
the God-given plan of eating bread by
the sweat of their brow, think they
can neglect their farms a little and do
like the speculator or the man that
draws a regular salary from which he
lives, and not being satisfied at letting
we'll enough alone, alas! when he
comes to himself it is too late to save
his home from that iron-clad mort
gage which he gave with no idea of
ever seeing it closed, but just to get
a little money on which to speculate.
I have addressed this communication
to the farmers and stock-raisers of
our county, as I am a farmer and
stock raiser, and sympathize with
them more than any other class, not
that they are less independent or need
more sympathy than men of other
professions, but because we are less

sent living, and living at home
