Soil Stirring and Moisture.

Orange growers and others who
have had experience in the cultivation
on sandy soil, recognize the advan-
tages of the cultivation during dry
seasons. In the absence of an irrigat-
ing plant they depend upon constant
stirring of the soil to conserve moist
ure and minimize the injury from
drouth.
Prof. Duggor, of the Alabama Ex-
pertinent Station, writes as follows on
the subject:
In dry season the smoothing or tooth
harrow, which is always needed on the
farm becomes an implement of the first
Importance.
It's use between the time of breaking
the land and the coming up of the crop,
and even later with corn, affords the
most economical method of preventing
the too rapid evaporation of water from
the soil. Time spent in breaking the
crust is we'll spent before the seed is up,
as we'll as during this growth of the crop.
deficient stand in periods of drouth
is frequently due to the presence of a
crust which causes moisture to evaporate
so rapidly from the land that not enough
is left to allow the seed to sprout.
The use of the smoothing harrow

checks evaporation from the soil packed
by rain since breaking and thus crusted,
and it is of benefit in retaining water for
seed and young plants just in the same
way that cultivation of growing crops is
beneficial
With farm work delayed by rains, much
land will be bedded this year too late to
be partially settled by rains between the
time of bedding and planting and much
seed will doubtless be planted on soil so
loose as to be extremely dry and even
cloddy and open.
In such cases the slight compacting
action of a harrow with standing teeth is
beneficial. 1t tends to check evaporation,
which is very rapid not only in crusted
soils but also in soils which are extreme
ly loose as deep as the turn pillow has en-
tered. A still better preparation for such
SOILS would be to use the roller and then
follow with the harrow. However this is
scarcely practicable in a season when
farm work is already far behind. The
rolling or narrowing should follow close
upon blowing, preferably the same day.

Drainage.-All low and fiat lands
must be thoroughly drained. Cane
will grow in moist but not in wet
lands Low hammocks, swamps and
sawgrass marshes, thoroughly drain
ed, make the best of cane. If not
drained thoroughly a failure will re-
suit. The permanent ''water Table
should not be less than three feet be-
low the surface of the soil.

part of the immature tops can be

Early ground cane makes the best
syrup, late or mature cane the most

Mills.-Small mills are wasteful and
are not advised; better sell the cane
to a custom mill. A we'll built, hori-

Capt. Rose discusses the subject fur
Their in the Citizen of the 9th inst.
He writes:

on the subject of sugar growing and
manufacture than was contained in
my recent letter | am always ready

We more satisfactory. l will be brief
and cover most of the points raised.
First, as to Climate.-In all of the
counties of this state, and in Southern
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and
Louisiana, good crops of sugar cane
are raised. Wherever the orange tree
will grow, sugar can be profitably
made from cane. Barring the great
freezes of 1886 and 1S94-95, no frost to
materially damage cane has occurred
in this state.
Frost--A white frost does not in
iure sugar cane; on the contrary, 1t
causes it to ripen it's juices and make
better sugar. A killing frost destroys
the ''bud' and Injuries the cane for
seed only. If properly wind-rowed
Immediately after freezing and before
fermenting such cane will make good
sugar for some sixty days after wind
rowing. The freezes of 1896, 1094-95
did not kill stubble or rattoOns on
well drained lands in Florida.
Seed Cane-In the northern coun-
ties if seed is desired for spring plant
ing the cane should be ''banked,'' or
mat laid in November. In South
Florida wind-rowing will answer the
purpose. The best portion of the cane
for seed is the immature top, with
the leading eye or ''bud.' Fall plant
ing is preferable in Florida, adding
three months to growing season of
the crop.
Rattoon.-In cutting the cane it
should be cut low, at or below the sur
face of the soil. Stubble projecting
above the soil is apt to be injured by
frost. Allow the trash or cane fodder
to remain on the rows until spring
comes. Well cared for stubble will
ration for three years in most parts
of this state, longer in the southern
portion. Much depends upon the
quality of the soil and the method of
culture.
Varieties.-There are several popular
kinds of cane The Otahite or large
green is a favorite for use on small
mills 1t is easily crushed and yields
well, and is the best for chewing. 1t
is tender and requires a long season.
Red ribbon is a favorite all round cane
for small mills. 1t rattoOns well and
makes a fine yield of syrup. Burbon
or red cane is hardy, grows quickly,
natures early, and for the northern
sections is the favorite. 1t is very
hard and requires a powerful mill to
extract it's juices. For South Florida
the Crystalline is probably the best.
1t is a rank grower, fairly early, a
first class stubble cane and makes a
good stand year after year.
