The Care of Irish Potatoes.
Station Bulletin No. 8.

Experiment Station Bulletin No. 8.
There having been great number of
inquiries as to the keeping of Irish pota-
toes from the spring crop for fall plant
ing, it seems advisable to give the exper-
fence of the Florida Experiment station
in the form of press bulletin so that it
may reach the farmers in general Be-
fore giving the method employed at the
station with unfailing success, it does not
seem inexpedient to call attention to
some of the other methods tried and the
difficulties Uf each.
Storing potatoes in oat straw proved a
failure on account of the tendency of the
potatoes to decay.
Spreading the potatoes on a board floor
was unsuccessful as the potatoes turned
green and shriveled, being then unfit for
either shipping or planting.
On trying mixture of lime and dry
sand, in the proportion of one pint of
lime to bushel of sand, it was found
that, while the potatoes did not decay,
they were no longer viable, the lime APP
parently killing the eyes and thereby
liOlll suCCcsS-
fully. Dry sand alone produced better
results.
The method that has proved uniformly
successful at the station has been to take
a slat crate, place layer of pine straw in
the bottom, then a layer of potatoes,
covering them with layer of pine straw
and continue the process until the crate
is filled. Finally the crate is covered
with layer of pine straw and stored in
the barn without further attention. On
taking tl,e potatoes out in the fall they
have been found to he sound and fresh
in appearance and there has been no
difficulty as 70 their sprouting when
planted.
Fall planting at the station has just
been completed. The potatoes cared for
as above described were in prime condj.
ton; in fact, they were as good as, If not
better than, seed potatoes shipped from
the north. The variety of potato that
has been used with the greatest success
at the station is No. Rose, it never hav-
ing been affected with black heart here.
As regards the yield, out of sixty-seven va
rieties planted in the experiment, il
proved the most prolific.

Great Saving TO Taxpayers.

Comptroller Groom in his recent
circular has thrown a bOmbsheil
into the camp of the newspaper
men of this state. His decision
will put stop, in great measure,
to the large tax sales which have
prevailed in many of the counties
for years past, in that it will pre-
vent the further assessing, adver-
tising and selling of lands that
have already been bid in to the
state at q previous tax sale, unless
the same has been redeemed.
This practice has been going on
for years; lands bid in to the state
have been assessed and sold over
and over again, entailing great un-
necessary expense.
The last legislature provided the
remedy for this expense by order
ing that tax sale certificates of the
different counties shall be kept at
the county seat of each county,
commencing the first of the pres
ent month. By this transfer as
SCISSORS and collectors can easily in
Tform themselves as to lands that
: are held by. the state, whereas when
these records were at the state cap
itol such information could not be
had exceptIwith great trouble and
expense.
While twill be great cutoff OF
revenue to the newspapers it will
be a decidedssaving to taxpayers,
and the wonder is that such a step
was not taken by previous sessions
of our lawmakers.

ave are indebted to Mr.. George Close
for the finest cabbage and lettuce We have
ever seen grown in Florida. Mr.. Close is
a man of fine judgment and one of the
most successful truckers in the state, and
he is as generous and large hearted as he
is prosperous" Mr.. Close bought his
seed from the old reliable scotsman, j.
B. Sutton, who handles only the best
seeds to be had, especially adapted to
Florida, and makes a speciality of the
finest strains of cabbage, egg plant, let
tuce, onion and tomato seed. See dis

Buying Sugar Plantations.

American capital is being invest
ed in sugar plantations 20 very
large amount in Cuba and Porto
Rico. A recent statement in a
New York paper showed that tens
| of thousands of acres of sugar lands
were being purchased in these ISL
ands by American capitalists and
lsyndicates. At the rate at which
these lands are being purchased it
viii be only few years before all
of the best of them in either island
will be in the possession of citizens
of this country.
In answer to the question, does
not this mean that a strong effort
is to be made TO have the tariff on
raw sugar repealed? the Savannah
News says it certainly does. And
it has been stated time and time
again, and, that too, without con-
tradiction, that the sugar trust is
anxious to have the duty removed
from raw sugar. It's purpose is of
course to have a sufficient tariff re-
tanned on refined sugar to keep the
foreign article out of our market.
The trust would then have control
practically of the sugar market of
this country.
The sugar growers of Cuba
would like that arrangement be-
cause it would permit them to sell
their raw product in this country
free of duty. They would get a
much better price per pound for it
than they. do now-in fact, they
would have the most profitable
sugar plantations in the world, not
even excepting those of Hawaii.
Of course our beet sugar indus
try and our sugar cane plantations
would be ruined. That is not a
matter, however, in which the
owners of the sugar lands of Cuba
and Porto Rico and the sugar trust
are concerned. There will be
hot fight, however, one that will be
notable in the history of the tariff
battles which have been waged
from time TO time in congress, be-
fore Cuban sugar will come into
our market free of duty, unless
Cuba becomes annexed.

The Charleston Post says: "This
is the age of the young men, as
well at the head of governments as
in commercial affairs. President
Roosevelt, the ruler of the greatest
nation in the world is less than 43
years old; Kaiser Wilhelm is a year
younger; the .Czar of Russia was 81
last May; King Victor Emmanuel
will be 33 in November; Queen
Wilhelmina is only 21 years old,
and Alexander of Servia is 25."

TAMPA continues to lead a siren
uous life. Some of her people have
now upset the soup kettles of the
striking cigarmakers and informed
them that they must work or they
cannot eat. Tampa's manner of
managing the strike situation
would doubtless nave the sanction
of Mr.. John w. Mackay, who re-
calls with pleasure how well gov
erned San Francisco and Virginia
City used to be in the old days of
the vigilance committee.

IT is proposed in the Virginia
constitutional convention that the
legislative sessions shall be held
once in four years. The state now
has biennial sessions of the legis-
lature, and the opinion is growing
stronger that so much legislation
is not only useless but unneces-
sarily expensive, Virginia does
not need so much lawmaking, and
could get along better without it.
The present system, one delegate
asserted, was foisted upon the state
by aliens who cared only to create
offices for themselves and their
henchmen and nothing for the
welfare of the commonwealth.
There isn't room for a reasonable
doubt but that the legislative bus
iness of most any state could be
well attended to by quadrennial
sessions of the legislature.

THE death of Judge Jere Will
son, senior counsel for Admiral
Schley, came as a shock to the
court of inquiry and the country.
The judge was man locally fam
Gus for his legal ability, and the
people at large were interested in
him because of his connection with
a case that has had their attention
for some time. His tragic death,
coming as it does closely following
the assassination Of the President,
and in the midst of a notable trial,
will create more of an impression
than would otherwise have been
the case.

AS to a complaint that there was not
sufficient baking powder at the Settle
mcnt Mr.. Reynolds explained that sew
eral cases were ordered from r, May &
Co, and only half the quantity could
be sent. The balance was sent later
but could not be landed from the steam
er on account OF rOught weather. 1t was
transferred to a schooner with other
goods and the schooner could not land
the goods either until a short time
since. AS to the ration tickets, he said
that the complainant William Clark,
was a chronic kicker, but that the pre-
Sentation of tickets in all cases was
met with response in whatever goods
the people wanted, and that the system
was generally approved except In the
case of Clark and a few others who de-
sired to set up an opposition store to
that maintained by the Board.
Another kick coming from Clark was
that he was Disseminated against in
the shipment of articles of freight from
Honolulu to the Settlement. He said
he was refused permits for goods he
wanted. 1t was explained that Clark
was buying goods in Honolulu and SELL
ing them to the people there, and not
being personal effects, freight was re-
Quired on the packages by the Wilder
Steamship Company. The latter had
intimated to the Board that it was
breaking faith in the matter of the
shipment of theGe parcels. II Clark
wants to sell goods at tie Settlement
he can do so. II he pays the freight on
the same. The Board yesterday an
nounced its willingness to let these lep-
ers attempt to carry on a store bust
ness, but in future every package of
freight for the Settlement must be ac-
companied by a statement of the artl-
Cles within. If the lepers believe they
can compete with the Boards store the
Board is perfectly willing to let them
try II.

The Government Wlthdraws Minister
Loomis From Venezuela.

NEW YORK, April IA special to
the Herald, from Washington, says:
In order to expedite the arrival of
Minister Loomis in this country, Sec
rotary Long has instructed the Scor-
pion to convey that diplomat to San
Juan, where he will take a steamship
for New York
The report which Minister Loomls
will make to the State Department will
have much to do with the determina-
ton of the attitude of the United
States toward the South American re-
public. The administration is deeply
irritated over NeneZuelas conduct, and
has concluded that the time has ar
rived for this government to assert it
self and require respect and proper
treatment for American agents and
American citizens.
Mr.. Loomis withdrawal in itself Is
an indication of the displeasure of the
United States. and Venezuela will I'M
doubtedly so receive it.
Senior Pulido, the Venezuelan charge
d'affaires, sincerely regrets that any
differences should have arisen between
the two governments, and he is ener-
getically working to restore the friend
ly relations that have hitherto existed
