Florida Sugar Making.

The New York Sun of July 30 says:
''For the calendar year 1893, from the
data collected by Willett IL Gray, of
New York, it appears there were con-
sumed in the United States 2,O47, Al
long tons of 2,24O pounds.
'This sugar was produced in 1897
for the most part, and it is interest
ing to see where it came from. The
statistics of home production for that
year must be consulted to show our
sources of supply within our own Dor
ders.
The output of sugar cane in LOuisi-
ana in 1897 was 7O7, 95S,S7S pounds.
The nine beet sugar factories in the
country produced 9O,491, $50 pounds,
making the aggregate of -produc-
ed sugar that year, exclusive of the
small output of sorghum aud maple
sugar, 79S 443 ,54S pounds" or 1856, 444
long tons produced, against 2,O47, AZ
long tons consumed in the United
States in 1898.
For years the Agricultural Depart
ment expended immense sums in try
ing to produce sugar economically Gas
compared to cane sugar., from beets
and sorghum. Kansas, Nebraska,
New York, New Jersey, aud other
States have paid bounties and premi-
ums to beet and sorghum sugar grow
ers; while millions of Northern and
Western capital have been invested in
the vain attempt to produce sugar in
competition with the sugar cane of the
South. Costly machinery, expensive
irrigating plants, skilled labor, scien-
tific fertilizing and chemical knowledge
backed by the influence of the United
States Agricultural Department and
the bounties of various wealthy States
have utterly failed to produce sugar at
a cost to compete with the crude Ia
Dor and the inefficient apparatus gen
orally used in the sugar belt of the
South. Had but a 1.-THE of the intelli-
gent effort, skill, and capital eXpend-

10 denying that they give a very low

TO denying that they give a very low
acre yield.
Low acre yields on rich soils is prac-
tically invariably due to inequalities
in the supply of fertilizers or manures.
A soil rich in organic matter is likely
to be rich in fertilizer nitrogen, but
may be relatively deficient in fertilizer
potash and phosphOric acid. I'm nat
ural state the potash and phOsphates
have been used over and over again
in making crops of grasses, more or
less of which belong to the legume
family. Thus, there has been con-
slant increase in the supply of fertil-
izer nitrogen, but no corresponding in
crease in the supply of potash and
phosphate. The result is that the soil
becomes charged with vegetable mat
ter moderately rich in nitrogen, but
low in the mineral fertilizers.
Under these conditions, fair crops of
stalks of straw may result, but the
grain will be low in quantity. Potash
and phosphate are the determining fer
tilizer ingredients in producing the
seeds of plants; if there is present in
the soil relatively more available nj
trOgen than available potash and phOS-
plate to properly accompany same, the
yield of grain (seed) is controlled ny
the deficient mineral fertilizer. Tne
strength of the chain is the strength of
it's weakest link. Even the yield of
straw and stalks cannot go beyond
certain limit with a deficient supply of
potash and phosphate, though the nj
trOgen be abundant.
Though such soils are called rich,
they are rich chiefly as regards nitro
gen only, and too much nitrogen is on
ly trife less harmful than too little,
especially in grain farming. These
rich soils will amply repay manuring
with mineral fertilizers. They do not
require heavy manuring, or fertiliZing
rather, as do the more exhausted soils
of the Atlantic coast line but the small
quantity needed is just as important as
the larger applications found necessary
in the east. One hundred pounds of
acid phosphate and SO pounds of mu-
riate of potash per acre will make a
great showing, though doubtless twice
as much would still show handsome
margin of profit.
Any kind of chemical fertilizer sup
plying potash and phOsphOric acid may
be used. Finely ground bone meal is
very useful as source of supply of
the latter, while muriate of potash
would be cheaper per actual pound of
potash than kainit, on account of the
high freight rate. The combination
would show up wells. Cox, in Elk

plants, been expended in the culture
and manufacture of cane sugar in the
South, the nations supply would now
be grown within her own borders, say
ing more than $2OO,OOO,OOO to our peo-
pie annually.
That beet sugar cannot be produced
in competition with cane sugar, even
under the best conditions of labor and
climate, is evidenced by the fact that
all beet sugar countries pay a bounty,
direct or indirect. Cane sugar can be
and is made at profit for sum less
than the cost of beet sugar. LOuisi-
ana produced 81 per cent. of the home
grown sugar in 1893, leaving but -
per cent. to the beet-grOwn.
Not so per cent. of the available sug-
ar land of Louisiana is occupied,
while Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and Texas, have millions of acres of
sugar land that will average easily
one ton of pure sugar per acre-in
many cases, much more.
Florida has enough unoccupied land
to produce, not only the American sup
ply, but more; this, without using one
acre of her rich drained area, or the
Everglade basin, a territory that alone
could supply the whole world. Much
has been recently said about Cuba, her
wonderful climate and rich soil. Much
stress has been laid on the fact that
cane rattoons for years, etc. Much of
this is exaggerated. Seldom do canes
grow more than six years profitably
in Cuba; while frequently cane rat
ICONS in Florida profitably for four
years OF more. In the lower part Of
the State (Dade County, cane is now
growing which has not been replanted
for eighteen years. g.
0 don't pretend this is a good
stand" and would have dug it up and
replanted it years ago, had it been
mine. l imagine it is, however, as good
as the Cuban rattOOns of same age.)
Recent analysis of Florida cane from
different sections of the State, from
Grand Ridge, Quincy, Lake City, Jack
sonville, ST. Augustine, Sanford, Ocala.
Tampa, Miami-some twenty different
lOcalities-shOW a sugar content and
purify superior to either Cuba OF
Louisiana cane. 1t will be said that
our ''cold snaps" will prevent the
profitable culture and manufacture Of
sugar in the northern part of the state.
The recent blizzard apparently did nc
damage There is as fine a crop of
cane along the northern belt of cOun-
ties and in South Georgia as has ever
been made; there are crops of cane
that will run twenty-five tons per acre

thousand pounds of granulated sugar

Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Pot
ash.

SureS good crops, says Prof. James S.
DOty in Massachusetts Plowman. Ma
ture does not always place them in the
right places for all plants, but Occa-
siOnally we find some nook where the
fertilizing ingredients are properly
distributed Some plants need more Of
potash than others, and again others
| need and demand an excess of nitro
gen. 1t has taken years to analyze
the plants so that we can tell about the
| needs of each class, and it will be
| many more years before their needs
will be so popularity known that every
cultivator of the soil will mix his fer
tilizing ingredients just right for the
various economic plants. In general
way, however, the needs of the plants
can be understood so that one can in
diligently apply our scientific knowl-
edge about potash, phosphOric acid,
and nitrogen.
Potash forms the starchy part of the
plants, and contributes toward the
growth of the woody part of the
stems and tieshy portions of the fruit.
Plants that have woody stems and
plenty of starch either in the fruit or
leaves require plenty of potash in the
soil for them to do their best. Those
that are naturally deficient in these
particulars get along without so much
| potash. There is no other substance
that can quite take the place of potash
| for performing these functions.
PhOsphoric acid enters less into the
vital constituents of the plants than
either of the other ingredients. 1t
might be said to supply the salts and
minerals to the plants-the iron to the
system. 1t is tonic in it's action, and
when applied it stimulates plants to
quicker maturity. 1t does this as most
good tonics do to the human system,
by helping the plants to aSSimilate the
food proper Phosphoric acid applied
to the soil enables the plants to take
up plant food that might otherwise
remain unassimilable for a consider
able time.
Nitrogen has been said to form the
prime constituent of all plant growth,
and without it nothing could grow. 1t
gives color to the foliage, vitality to
the stalk and stem, and food to the
whole plant. 1t enters actively into
the very life of all plants, and very
few fail to respond to it's quickening
and benefcient action. 1t is the nitro
gen in the barnyard manure that
makes the plants respond so quickly
to it, 1t is found in the air, soil, and
decaying plants. 1t is best applied to
the soil in the shape of green manure,
such as clover, cow peas, or beans, but
it can be added to it in an artificial
way by applying nitrate of soda and
>ulphate of ammonia.
Manuring Soils Naturally Rich.--it
may seem absurd to talk of manuring
soils naturally rich, yet the evidence of
our official statistics tends to prove
these naturally rich soils have very
low productive power. The low aver
age yields per acre of wheat and corn
on our rich prairie soils is often quoted
as kind of national reproach. There
seems to be no doubt of the fact that
these soils are rich: there is certainly
