The State to Live In.

Florida is passing through a period
of hard times, but the end is in sight.
Never were the people more hopeful.
1t is now evident that the crop of or
anges this year will be larger than
we expected a few months ago, and
that the orange-growing industry will
be fully restored at much earlier
date than was at first supposed. There
is little room to doubt, however, that
tobacco will soon be our largest and
most valuable crop. Oranges will be
as plentiful, and, as crop, as valua-
BILE as ever, and our people will have
tobacco as an added resource, for very
little of it was grown prior to the
freeze, and very little of it is grown
now compared with what will be in
the near future.
We believe that Florida is the best
state in the Union, and that in the re-
distribution of population our state
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-04-07

will be rapidly settled. In Florida
there are only about eight persons to
the square mile. The state could
easily sustain twenty-five times as
many. Of course, with a larger pop
ulation greater diversity of crops
would have to be grown. This could
easily be done, however Our people
should never again glut the orange
markets, while paying SO little atten-
ton to pineapples, bananas, lemons,
lines, guavas, grapefruit, and other
tropical products. In addition to
these they could grow peaches, plums,
pears, figs, Strawberries, and other
berries, watermelons, cantalOupes and
grapes. There is no reason why Flor
ida should produce an oversupply of
fruits of any kind. The state can pro-
duce fruits of every kind.
And it can produce sugar, syrup,
rice, tobacco, sea island cotton, ramie,
and other products in addition to
those grown in states further north.
There is no limit to the agricultural
and horticultural possibilities of the
state.
This is only a slight reference to
one branch of industry. There are
fine opportunities for profit in fish
cries, in timber, in phosphate and in
manufacturing. He who is looking
about for home or contemplating a
change of residence will make a great
mistake if he does not consider the
advantages Florida offers. He will
make no mistake by coming here and
going to work.-Times-Un Union.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-04-07

notes that killing frosts last week
damaged the fruit crop greatly.
Prunes and apples are not sufficiently
advanced to receive so much harm as
apricots and almonds, which in many
places have been destroyed. Peach
trees and grape vines have also been
injured, but in less degree.

Tt is frequently the case that the
stranger expresses surprise that the
soil of South Florida will produce
anything in the way of vegetation.
To all appearances the soil is dry
sand, devoid either of moisture or fer
tility. On closer examination, how
ever, the stranger will find on remov-
ing an inch or so of the top soil that
there is moisture even during the dri-
est season.
Certainly no one will claim that
moisture is the only requisite to plant
growth, but no one will deny that it
is one of the essential elements to sue
cess in soil tilling. The fact that the
otherwise unpromising looking sand
of Florida has the power of retaining
moisture, and drawing it from great
depths by capillary attraction, ac-
counts very largely for it's productive
ness.
Our valued contemporary, the Mir
ror and Farmer, in an interesting dis
cussion on soil moistures, says that
the action of water in the soil is one
of interest and Importance, and of the
various forms in which this action is
exerted none is of more Importance
than the capillary action by which it
simply rises Or falls. Which direction
it takes depends upon which is the
drier, the surface or subsoil, and the
condition of the soil. If the soil is
coarse and cloddy the particles are
not compact and the water cannot
rise. If, however, the soil is fine, we'll
pulverized and the particles finely
pressed together the water rises free
ly and continuously to the surface
This establishes capillary relations
between it's particles and enables the
moisture to rise to the surface and
aid the growth of plants. By con-
stantly stirring this finely pulverized
surface of the soil the capillary con-
nections will be broken sufficiently to
prevent the escape of moisture into
the atmosphere which is needed in
the soil.
If the soil is made fine and well pull
verified to a good depth, moisture
