Systm Bulletin.
The following are extracts from advance
sheets, monthly bulletin of the Plant Sys-
TENS Industrial Commission:
FLORIDA, Alabama and Georgia sugar
cane growers may find ready markets for
syrups at remunerative prices for high
grade goods in Eastern. Middle and West
ern states markets, where the demand is
practically unlimited for a pure hrst-class
article. To secure and build up liberal
business in domestic eyrups the present
oid-time soap kettle method of manufac-
ture must be abandoned for the modern,
Yet inexpensive grinders. steam plants OF
evaporators. which VIII insure uniformity
OF product not possible with the soap ket-
tie mode of manufacture. Uniformity and
frst-class goods alone are wanted in the
great trade centers. Grinders that will
turn out 80 per cent. more juice than many
antiquated ones now used by farmers and
steam boilers of evaporators, which may
be purchased al moderate prices should
be secured. | suggest TO sugar cane grow
ers the advisabLity of organizing local as
sociations for purchasing above plants,
and haul cane to same for manufacture.
This will insure a uniform grade Of syrup
and save the now tedious and unsatisfac-
tory work attending the present soap ket-
tie methods. Western farmers remote
from cities and milk markets organize
creameries, to which they deliver milk 10
be manufactured into butter and cheese.
So far as / can learn these farmer cream
cries paid good dividends. Why not the
sugar cane growers organize local syrup
manufactures on the same plan and in
crease their acreage of cane to five, ten
or twenty acres where now but one acre
is planted?
We desire to call the attention of farm
the "a convention xtthf NIL
assemble at Sanford on the 18th day of
January. The United States agricultural
department will be represented at this con
vention and men of practical experience
in casava culture will also be present to
participate in the deliberations Of the con-
vention Aside from the value of casava
as a stock food the United States import
articles of human food such as sage, tap
ioca. gums, etc, to the extent of millions 4
of dollars yearly, all of which nre manu-
featured from casava. The South Atlantic
and Gulf states may and should furnish
every pound of these products for home
consumption, and largely for export trade.
A large plant for the manufacture of cas-
ava is now under construction at Lake
Mary, Florida. Practical Boston parties
control this mandatory. Another plant
is erected at DeLand and others, we learn,
are projected for the East coast of Florida.
We are gratifed to learn of the remark
able success attending the German farm
ers of Florida. who, as a rule, cultivate
five to ten-acre farms As an object les
son, It may be proper to state the secret
of their prosperity. Untring industry and
honesty. These patient workers pay cash
for their purchases. They avoid distract
ing political gatherings, and never muddle
their brain with currency or tariff prob
lens. Result. content, full meal bags and
money in bank. This German method for
securing prosperity is open for every able
bodied man In Florida.
