Bermuda and st. Lucie.
r Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agricuturist
Herewith find lnclosed sample of
grass received by me from Indian
river, purporting to be ST. Lucie
grass, which I believe to be Bermuda.
1t certainly is not what is known as
st. Lucie grass should any one
receive it as such they would be sadly
disappointed. The increasing demand
duced persons to offer it for sale by
advertising slips or cuttings, which
are in no manner as satisfactory as
the original roots for securing start,
and for this reason I agreed to send
a few ounces. Many of the roots can
be divided into several pieces and the
hard jointed cuttings will take root
if separated, much more readily than
the new tender slips that are gener-
ally sent for a stated price per 1O0
In order to prevent disappointment
to those who have sent for samples
their order free of charge, if they
have not succeeded in getting the
roots to grow from any cause what
ever. I have kept list of all whom
I have received letters from. I spec
tally request that stamps only be sent
with an order for grass, as [ desire to
distribute as widely as possible this
valuable grass and encourage it's Gull
tivation and not to make anything
by the sale. If those who -.esire it in
larger quantities will send their ad-
dress on a stamped envelope [ may
in future be able to fill their order
with the genuine grass. At present
it is not posslD4e to give the time nee
essary in that direction, but will con-
tinue to fill any order as per ad. in
the present number of the Florida Ag
riculturist. John Y. Detwiler.

Travelerswho have visited the DeLeOn
Spring in Volusia Co., will remembe
the "old field" in it's vicinity the fol-
lowing description of which is taken
from an exchanges: The land in the
"Old Field near the spring is said to
be the best in the State, and it GER
tainly has turned out splendid crops,
without fertilizer for the past TWEEN
ty years, when farmers from nearby
points have gone there to raise their
crops. During the past year 200
acres of corn have been planted, the
yield of which will be about $500
bushels. This "Old Field" as it is IA
miliarly called has a history, which
antedates the history of Florida.
When the Spaniards first came to
Florida they found this field
in cultivation by the Indians. The
Spaniards afterward took possession
of it, and cultivated it for a number
of years, and erected mill, the cast
ings for which were brought from
Spain, and which are now on the
ground near the spring. Colonel
Starke bought the plantation and cul-
tivated it up to the war, when the mill
was burned by the Union soldiers,

Sold Their Tobacco.

Messrs. I. n. Steele and Jim Harms
returned Monday from Tampa, hav-
ing been over to sell their tobacco.
They carried their crop of sixteen
hundred pounds by wagon, and real
lied thirty cents per pound for the
entire lot, including suckers and all.
Mr.. Steele says that he had in the
lot four hundred pounds for which
the buyers told him that they would
gladly pay seventy-ive cents per
pound for all they could get like it.
Mr.. Steele is more firmly convinced
than ever that there is good money
in growing tobacco, but he says his
advice to all would be to plant
smaller acreage and take special care
of it, thus making as much as posi-

The Disk in Agriculture.

The application of the disk in soil
culture may be sa4~- to mark an era
in agricultural implements. It APP
peared first we believe, in the rolling
coulter, and is now used in blowing,
pulverizing, seeding and cultivating,
and is far in advance of the old meth
DDS employed. The mouldboard plows,
with all their modern improvements,
still work on the same principle that
the old wooden mouldboard plows OF
our grandfathers' days did. Likewise
the tooth harrow, slightly modified,
scratches and tears the ground as did
the old wooden-tooth, butterfly drag
of former centuries. The steel disk
harrow works on a different principle.
it cuts instead of tearing, making the
draft lighter, besides it's peculiar mo-
ton moves all the soil to the depth
that it runs.
AS pillow the disk has not had an
extensive trial, but reports from the
pest authorities are uluCu Ill llS
praise. lie friction ON the bottom of
the plow, as well as that on the
mouldboard and Landslide, is done
away with in the disk. Another point
of much Importance is the fact that
the bottom of the furrow in heavy
land is left in much letter condition
by the disk (that breaks the bottom
of the furrow slice) than by the old
method, which often packs the moist
land so close and smooth as to close
all the pores of the soil, thus prevent
ing the moisture rising and falling
according to the needs of the land.
In the sulky cultivator nothing
equals disks. Ridges can be thrown
together or leveled with them; the
soil can be worked to or from the
crop, and they can be adjusted to the
angle of any ridge or to level land.

Sicilian Fruit Industry.

AT first glance, the island of Sicily
vored places endowed with all that
would seem ample to make it one OF
the most prosperous countries on
earth. The climate is mild and salu-
brious, even during the two or three
months of hot weather in summer
It's soil is so productive that if it is
cultivated in proper manner which
is not done everywhere on the island,
it rewards labor with rich crops of
nearly everything planted. Especially
is this the case, lava beds excepted,
around the base of the giant volcano
Etna, which is nearly 100 miles in cir
conference. The land is constantly
enriched by the washings of the ashes
and lava rocks decomposing from age,
from the great mountain and it's sur
rounding, numerous foothills, which
gated by the melting snow which is
seen on the peak of Etna until late in
summer.
Everywhere in that fertile belt, ex-
cept where interrupted by lava
streams or rocky hills and along the
seashOre from Messina to Catania, the
eye meets luxurious orchards of Or
anges and lemon trees, laden with
their golden fruit and blossoms; nu-
merous groves of almond trees, which
in full bloom appear to be covered
with snow; the gnarled olive and the
fig trees vie with each other even in
rocky spots; along declivities, where
it seems nothing could find root, the
edible pricl<ly pear, there called In
dian fig, grows to immense size and
supplies a cheap, refreshing and popu-
lar food for the masses and is also an
important article of export to neigh
boring countries and to Upper Italy.
When one sees the abundant crop
and watches the many ships of vari-
GUS nations, but none of the United
States, which leave the ports laden
with the products of the soil and Of
the mines, one would conclude, says
Consul Louis I'll. Bruhl, that the in
habitants of this island must certain>
ly be in a prosperous condition. Yet
the very contrary is the case in re-
gard to the masses. Sicily has suffer-
ed much during the past ages from
the constant invasions and conQuests
by the various bellicose and covetous
nations and from their misgovern-
ment. The unequal distribution or
landed property, the lack of energy,
enterprise and business tact among
the we'll to do and large landholders,
and the failure to properly cultivate
idle lands, thereby giving more en-
ployment and producing more mar
ketable commodities are further rea-
sons; also the lack of education and
the superstition among the poorer
classes California Fruit Grower.
