Manatee County Rice.-Home-
grown rice is becoming SO popular in
the local markets that the merchants
are unable to sell any other brands
when the home production can be had.
1t is pleasure to us to note this, as it
corroborates the opinion expressed by
us last spring when advocating rice cul-
ture. The consumption of rice is much
greater than one would think, and a
nice little sum of money which has
heretofore gone out of the county, will
be diverted into the pockets of Our
armers.-Manatee Journal.

Guava Jelly.-The Seminole Canning

guava jelly during the past two
months. Mr.. Gardner is this week

Fine Seed Beds.-The farmers
throughout the trucking district around
Miami are busy blowing their land pre-
paratory to planting. 1t is said that
the seed beds have never looked better
than now. The water has run off the
prairies so that the land is in fine con-
dition to cultivate.
Demand for Guavas.-Around Miami
the guava growers are rejoicing over
the great demand for this fruit. The
supply is far too small. Dealers are
constantly receiving orders from pri-
vate families in the state, which cannot
be supplied. Some of the truckers
have begun planting egg plants and to-
matoes for an early crop, and the Ctr
