HON. CHAS. B. KENNEDY
Returns from Pierre-Talks About the
Normal School Appropriation-Thinks
It Will Be Landed Safely.

Questioned by a DAILY LEADER re-
porter Hon. Chas. B. Kennedy who has
been at Pierre working in the interests
Of the Madison State Normal school and
returned home this morning, says that a
very favorable feeling has all along been
manifested by the members Of the legs
lature towards the appropriations for
our Normal school, and the reverse that
arose on the special appropriation OF
S2o,OOOfor the new dormitory two days
ago was owing more to the fact that
the bill was being crowded forward
out OF it's order a little too fast
than to any disposition to kill the
bill. Many members have similar bills
and are sensitive as to others getting be-
yond danger before their own. The
Redfield appropriation of $4,000 had
just passed the house when this one too
was called up for tinal passage. so some,
even friendly to this bill, felt like pre-
venting a rush OF this kind just then and
withheld their support at that time, but
when the bill oame up yesterday we're
ready to lend their approval and the bill
passed with for OF five votes to spare.
In the senate, he thinks the sentiment
even more favorable to it and he looks
for it to pass that body IN a week or ten
days without trouble. The bill provid.
ing for setting aside permanently
8.tenths OF a mill state tax Of which
Madison Normal is to get II per cent.
annually, for maintenance, has been
favorably reported in both houses and he
thinks will pass without any doubt,
settles the matter Of maintenance in the
future on q liberal basis, and the two or
three thousand dollars required
for repairs on the old buildings
will come in the general appropriation
bill. Asked as to the feeling IN the leg
islature on the governors appointees
and bills OF q pasttzan character, he says
there 10 considerable u~ndercurrent at
work and such matters will come up
more pronounced as the end OF the session
draws near. The majority are at q loss
ia the senate however to get two-thirds
to carry any measure over the governors
veto and though they have brought
heavy pressure upon Senator Fitzgerald
OF this county to 60 over to them, he
stands pat for q square deal. On the
whole, however, Mr.. Kennedy gives the
members OF the legislature generally q
very creditable send off.

The Sugar in Florida Cane.

\ prominent business man of Chi
cago who has of ate been looking care
fully into the possibilities of sugar cul-
ture in Florida, has written to the sec
'ntar" CT agrl.lli1n e. and the doubt g
submit tied to us for solution, says the
Tines Union and Citizen. If Secretary
Wilson or his Chicago correspondent
has any reason ito believe that "Flor-
ida cane lacks sucrOse, or her lands
lack silica for it's production" they
have not been watching the columns
of the Times Union and Citizen. Sec
rotary Wilson was convinced by his
own eyesight long ago, and Others only
ned investiga ton to reach SIN ar
conclusion. Last year we published
the Following in answer to similar
questions, and the figures were fur.
nished by Capt r. e. Rose, whose
practical experience in cane making in
Louisiana has been rich and varied:
The facts are that under intelligent
and practical farming With perfect
drainage, Florida muck lands have
produced, and do produce. unusually
large crops of particularly rich sugar
cane
In 1884-S5 crop of cane was pro-
duced at Southport, hmm ediately after
the lands were drained of siXty-five
tons per acre, average. This cane
showed an average of ten degrees
Beaume and II per cent sucrose. The
harvest was begun April Is and finish
ed May Is, 1885, This field was con-
tinued for several years with equally
good results.
In 1SS7-SS "a field of 40 acres was
made ait St. Cloud, averaging forty
seven tons of cane, with 8h to 10 de-
grees Beaume and 16 per cent sucrose.
In 1888-89 a field of $40 acres at st.
Cloud averaged 81a degrees Beaume,
and produced 1850, 900 pounds of first
class yellow clarified sugar, or 1866
pounds per acre.
LII I009-9O @IrOIH o94 deIeS 81. Olouu
produced 1,442, 965 pounds of sugar, or
4,O37 pounds per acre, with an average
of 9h degrees Beaume.
This statement of swami of silica" in
Florida muck lands was first made by
the eXperm enters, and though large
sums were spent in placing three to
five inches of sand (silica) ON the ex-
