CONCERNING PINEAPPLES.

Their Cultivation For Profit In Flor
ida and Cuba.
OF the man who gets big crops of
anything it is often said that he works
his land like a f1orist-that is, he gives
it the extraordinary labor and atten-
ton supposed to be necessary to flow
ers, but foolish and wasteful when
applied to farm crops. The florist
style is correct, however. 1t is not
acreage we are after; it is dollars.
Yield and quality make dollars, not
the quantity of land planted. If ten
acres are more than one can handle
like a flower garden, take one acre and
work it as fine and soft as leaf mold.
1t must be rich and must have humus
enough to hold moisture we'll. Leave
the poor, thirsty land for those who
like that kind.
If there is natural or artificial moiS-
ture, pineapple plants may be set any
time in the year. A two inch sucker
should fruit in a year to IA months
and crown or a slip in several months
longer. Lay off the field in Glands" or
long beds, plant about IS inches apart
each way, leaving a sufficient path be-
tween the beds, say % inches to 3
feet, which allows easy cultivation
without danger of wounds from the
sharp spikes of the leaf points. Shall
low work with the scuffie hoe to keep
down the weeds is about all that is re-
quired where fertilization is omitted.
The close planting has the double
advantage of soon shading the ground
with the leaves and of to some eX-
tent holding up the fruit, though it is
often requisite to brace up the big ap-
pies with forked stakes or stake tying
to keep them off the ground till ripe
enough to cut The setting should be
deep as possible without covering the
bud with the soil.
The foregoing occurs in an extended
article in American Gardening. The
author also has this to say about prof
it's: Florida enthusiasts claim a profit
per acre of as high as $500 and 5000,
Notwithstanding the expense of buying
and applying one or two tons of fer
tilizer. While these figures are posi-
BILE and have no doubt been realized
under exceptionally favorable condi-
tons and even exceeded they may,
from a commercial standpoint, be set
aside. Two hundred dollars per acre
is a good enough business in pineap-
pies. The average northern farmer
thinks he is doing very well if he
clears $25 to $50, with something be-
tween for an average. But let it be as
sumed that an acre will pay 5000, all
expenses out, including loss of a crop
now and again by freeze, how much
better may be averaged in Cuba minus
cold and minus fertilizer either in
pounds or tons?
