GRoWING CAssAvA pLANT.

cassava root has been cultivated
throughout the state in small patches.
Cassava is Il root or beet. something
on the order of Il carrot, and grows in
tropical and subtrOpical countries. In
South America casSava is the natural
food staple. The root is there ground,
washed and dried and then pulveriZed
into Il meal. from which bread and u
kind Of griddlecake are made.
The CassaVa plant has Il stalk from
three To seven feet high. The root is
long and thick and grows close to the
surface. From five To ten plants are
grown in Il hill, the number varying
with the condition and cultivation of
the soil. The hills are laid out in rows
NJ intervals of four tcct Oh ali sides.
The yield of ten tuns per acre requires
un average weight of each root of eight
pounds. Some roots have been exhibit
ell. however. weighing 90 pounds. The
diameter of the C:ISSaVa root 1T the
widest point reaches from TWO To four
inches.
The lands best adapted 10 casSava
are the ruined citrus fields. From 2JU
To 1000 pounds of fertilizer are re-
Quircd for each acre Of cISSava. The
planting is done in February. and the
harvesting takes place the following
fall and winter. Tie plants are dug 10y
hand and the stalks preserved for the
next years planting. The roots are
then carted - IL factory. where they
are pulveriZcd AMI the starch is extract
cd. The pulp remaining iS sold for eat
tie fodder. willie the starch il shipped
To eastern cotton mills AMI used in
bleaching op rationS.
Florida has Ut present two factories
for treating caSSaVa root. One is lnrat-
eel AT Drland ami the other at Lake
Mary. The plant at the latter place
cost Sluu.0uo AMI the company owning
il will soon erect another factory at
Macintosh.
The people Of Florida are alive to tie
advantages of the t;IS>aVa root. Orange
land is not adapted tu ordinary farm
Ing. AMI what was useless can now hc
made Ia yield a gross income of so an
acre ami a net result of S:;u an acre.
The C;IS>aVa plant appeals Ia cultiva-
tors for many REASONS. Ii has no insect
enemy ~ far aS known AMI possesses
tO an extraordinary degree the power
of resisting drought. When rain did
not fall in Florida for six months dur.
Ing the usual rainy season of 1888. the
caSSava crop WAS the only one which
withStuod the extreme condition Be

STATE AUTHORITY
To be Exercised Over County Asy.
Iums for the Insane,

The state board of control will begin
work Immediately, says the Des Moines
Register, upon the formulation of rules
and regulations governing county insti.
tutes in which insane persons are main
tanned. The last legislature passed a
measure giving the board the power to
make rules and regulations, and to en-.
force them, their violation being suffi.
Gent to give the board power to remove
the patients in the county institutions
to the state hospitals, provided, how
ever, that the matter could be taken to
the courts by interested persons and
there adiudicated.
A systematic examination of the
county asylums has been made by the
members of the board. This work has
just been completed. The information
obtained will be classified and the
work of making the rules undertaken
this week. The work may consume con.
siderable time. The board anticipates
no particular difficulty in inducing the
county arrangements to conform to
their recommendation. 1t is learned
incidentally, that the principal COM
plant against the county institutions as
they are managed now, is the paucity
of attendants. More attendants will
cost more in salaries. A move in this
direction will work both ways. The
counties largely took patients from the
state hospitals to save money; the hir-
ing of new attendants will increase the
expenditure on account of the county
insane; but it will afford more salaried
places.

Ewonder why it is that so many men
spent their days working hard on rent

along, with no great prospect ahead of
owning their own homes, when within q
few hour journey is a land of plenty
Nebraska-where all kinds of grain and
fruit can be raised with the least
amount Of labor; where cattle and hogs
fed on corn bring handsome profit:
where the climate is healthful and
churches and schools abound; where
land is cheap and can be bought ON
very easy terms.
