edible fruit any sean, rain or drouuh.
1t should be planted at least six feet
apart each way, given enough fertilizer
to serve for tomato plant and well
cultivated. If this is done it will fully
occupy the ground and a dozen plants
will give a good supply for Il small
family, or a couple dozen will furnish
a great abundance One singular
thing about it is that plants set out
the middle of June will mature fruit
just as soon as those planted in March.

have always been able to begin pick
ing from both plants at the same time.
The juice from either the fruit or
leaves will make a fine lemonade or
acid drink, and now that lemons are
scarce again this should receive atten,
ton, as in our climate such drinks are
very agreeable and wholesome.
From an experience of several years
L can most emphatically say that
Jamaica sorrel is all that is claimed
for it, and will give more fruit, sauce
and good things to eat for the cost and
labor expended than anything else I

The Vegetab bic Garden.

There has been for a long time de-
mand for Informal ton in rela ton to
vegetable gardening. To meet this de-
mand Farmers Bulletin No. "a, en-
titled '"The Vegetable Garden" was
compiled by Charles H. Greathouse, of
the Division of Publications. In the
preparation of this bulletin the object
in view was to give a few brief sug-
gestions as to the cultivation and care
of the most common vegetables.
The bulletin begins with a para
graph showing the Importance of the
farm garden to the farmer, both as to
the revenue to be derived from it and
also as means of supplying his home
table.
The location of the garden as to con-
venience, sun, wind, and protection
from storms, and the size, shape, soil,
and drainage are considered The ne
cessity of proper drainage is pointed
out and methods of drainage described.
LIE ueAt Step is tue preI)dLa uOu on
the soil, and this is also described.
Flowing, fertilizers, and the quantity
and quality of seed and young plants
receive due attention. A chapter is de-
voted to growing plants in hOtbeds
and how to make the hotbeds.
Suggestions as to planting, making
the rows, condition of the soil, depth
of planting, transplanting, rotation,
cultivation, time for the soil mulch, ir-
rigation, killing weeds, and insect
cides follow, and the bulletin con-
cludes with specific directions for
eight illlstra tiOns.

feet from the ground, and made of
Stats an inch and a half apart, SO that
short fbers, sticks and dirt will sift
out. In the building is nothing but q
cheap modification of a cobtOngin-a
cylinder two feet long, and of the
same diameter, with twO-inch teeth,
which beat the moss against similar
stationary teeth, taking out sticks and
rubbing off most of the adhering re-
mains of the outer covering of the
moss. The machine is cheap and very
inefficient. The resulting moss is either
"2-cent moss" or "3-cent mOss"-the
price per pound after ginning, accord
ing to the care with which the picker
delivered it.
The winter was surprised to- learn
that this is the only preparation the
moss receives. 1t is shipped in bales
direct to the wholesaler, who general
ly distributes them unopened to the
uphOlsterers.
The freeze will not interfere with
this years crop. The dead moss is
treated just as before the freeze. But
the outlook for next year is bad. The
crop will be small. Usually where a
tree has been picked clean plenty of
small bits are left, $50 THAT in favora-
BILE locality the tree will be full again
in two or three years. This was
Shown by the practice in moss locali-
ties of cleaning it from the orange
trees every two years. But when the
temperature fell to degrees in the CEN
ter of the State last February, the msso
was quite generally killed, and it's de-
velOpment so checked that the yield
will be smaller for several years.

Florida as a Sugar Producer

Florida as State has advantages
and resources that are peculiar to
Florida. Having travelled in most of
the States north and east of the Rocky
Mountains, and having lived in quite a

that none of the States compare with
Florida in the diversity of her pro-

the hour. Il
The Pacific coast is strewed with
mining wrecks, representing expendi-

Jamaica ,Sorrel.

FLORIDA people are great for trying
new fruits and vegetables, and while
they thus try many things that have
no value they do frequently hit upon
something of much merit
One of these successful things is the
so-called jamaica sorrel Indeed every
good thing that has been said OF it is
wholly true. For jellies, sauce, jams,
preserves, pies and for cranberries
with your Thanksgiving turkey it is a
most complete success. 1t is a rank
vigorous grower, and will mature its

Almost any light, sandy soil will
make good peanuts, provided there is
a little lime in it, and there are many
sections in Florida where there is moth
ing lacking to produce them perfectly.
There are several varieties, but the
small Georgia peanut seems best
adapted to Florida. The Spanish va
riety is also a valuable kind. 1t ma
lures much earlier than the other vari-
cites, and is a good variety to plant on
land that has raised a vegetable crop.
1t grows upright and the nuts are
borne in cluster around the tap root.
1t can be planted much closer than the
other varieties. The Spanish may be
planted in rows two and half or
three feet apart and ten to twelve
inches in row. 1t will probably do
better ON rich land than the others.
1t is also excellent stock feed.

Peanuts on suitable soil are one of
the most profitable field crops that can
be grown in Florida. Mr.. DuPree

his personal experience in growing
peanuts.

When Florida Has Oranges Again


There is no sentiment in business.
Florida oranges once supplanted the
Mediterranean. They in turn disap-
peared from the market It's and California
took possession. Delaware and Mary
land peaches have largely displaced
New Jersey peaches. Since her freeze,
Florida's vegetables have crowded out
CALIFORNIA; vegetables to- the extent Of
five or six thousand carloads per an
mum. There is constant change in the
worlds markets. The West Indies
have lost their supremacy in sugar
and fallen into decay in consequence.
They will recoup themselves to some
extent with early vegetables and
fruits. But they are becoming Afri-
canized, and as the years go by they
will count for less in the production
of eXportable luXuries.
There is no reason why Florida
should not regain the markets when
she again has oranges to offer. Ev-

raises up new competitors. A strong
firm in a large city of the North sent
out an agent last fall to investigate
the orange outlook in Florida and
Mexico. He reported to his house i'm
mense possibilities of development in
Mexico, but, in view of a probable
crop in Florida of million and a
quarter boxes this year, he advised
that nothing should be done for the
present Then occurred the freeze of
February 18th, and now the proba-
bility is that the firm Will proceed
with it's plans in Mexico. After they
have built packeries and established
modern systems of transportation,
they will naturally struggle hard to
retain them. Every year makes it
more difficult for Florida to recover
her supremacy. But she will do 1t.

Rice Mills All Over the County.

When we began agitating the plant
ing of rice in Manatee county, our
dream of the Importance and extent to
which the business would attain was
great but, we have to confess, that
already there is promise of greater
magnitude in acreage to be planted
this year than we expected for TWO or
three years. One firm whose name
appears in our rice list for ten acres
has decided to plant sixty, and many
others will enlarge their acreage pro
portionately.
Another evidence of the great pop
u4arity of rice culture among the farm
ers, comes in the shape of a statement
from a prominent citizen of the upper
end of the county, to the effect that
nearly every farmer in that section
will plant rice extensively, but have
not sent in their names for publication
in our list, for the reason that they
thought to do SO, would, in measure,
pledge them to bring their rice to the
mill of Mr.. Jasper Harris, at Braiden.
town, thereby lessening their chance
to secure mills in their own cOmmuni-
ties.
Putting all the information which
we have been able to gather on the
Subject together, we are fully con-
WINGED that there will be Mo less than
five hundred acres planted I'M the
county this year, with probability
of it's reaching one thousand acres.
This is indeed gratifying to is, and
all who are truly interested in the
welfare of the farmers and the gen
eral prosperity of the county, which
can alone be advanced by the intro
ductiOn of new industries which can
be made profitable.
In this connection we are pleased
to call attention to the announcement
in another column of Mr.. Harris, in
which he states that he will have
rice mill in every section of the coun-
ty for cleaning the present CROP

Obituary and Resolutions of Respect

John H.. youngest son of John A. and Sarah M. Gatlin. was born in Gyles county, Tenn, August l, 1879, and died in Polk county, Ark, August 4, 1890. Johnnie was not religious boy vet he was full of life aud was highly respected by ali who knew him. He was member of the Olive Sunday school, was always in his class at roll prominently home boy, rarely ever going to parties or places of revelry. He seemed to have a presentiment of his death at the beginning of his sick ness which lasted eleven days. A few nights before his death he made pro- fession of religion, sang two or three songs then asked his friends to meet him in heaven. He had had excellent religious training, his entire family being devoutly religious They sorrow not as those who have no hope. May Gcd bless the bereaved family.
