Florida for Hogs.

Probably the hogs mentioned in the
item from the Zolfo Advertiser were
common native hogs. If they can be
made so profitable, a better breed
would be much more so. The follow
ing is an editorial from the Tampa
Times:
The following little local item from
the ZOlfO Advertiser of the Sd instant
IS the sort of stuff which shows the
progress being made by south Florida
farmers i'm the direction which the
Times has been for years earnestly
.alling their attention:
Fritz Williams. of Crewsville. had
bout 80 head of hogs loaded here
for shipment to Tampa yesterday.
They were furnished by stock rails
ers in the Crewsville section and
brought four cents per pound, live
weight. in the stock pen here"
Four cents per pound, live weight,
delivered at the station, is a very
fair price for hogs. and is twice the
money they cost the producer. AS
this paper has continually insisted.
Florida can produce as good hogs.
and do it as cheaply, as the great rec
Ognized hog producing section of the
west. Our farmers have only to turn
their attention to this branch of in
dustry to become us wealthy and
influential as the same class of people
in any section of the country.
Those farmers in the vicinity of
Crewsville will not have to borrow
money to pay their taxes, nor for any
other purpose. They are on the right
track. and when things get to that
stage when every farmer i'm south
Florida will market from ten to two
hundred head of fat porkers every
year the problem of wealth and pros
perity from this part of the state will
be fully solved for all time.
1t is almost needless to add that
there is fully as much. probably more,
money in cattle than in hogs. Look
about, over every country in this
section. and see who are the richest
men. With scarcely an exception they
are the men who have for years been
engaged i'm raising cattle. Look about
the vicinitieS of the various cities and
towns and list the people who are
well-tO-dO, who have enough to live
on with more than comfort. and it
will be found that they are those who
have diversified their work, who have
had few hogs to sell, who have mar
keted milk and butter and chickens
and eggs.
This entire section of the state is
more adapted to successful farming
along these varied lines than any other
spot on which the sun shines Not
only is the work simpler and easier,
but the market is constant the year
round. the returns are sure, the prices
are good, and there is a demand for
everything produced on the farm.

to find out something about the cost
of growing oranges and lemons l could
get nothing on the subject that sound
ed right. One man said if your Or
anges sell for less than 81 box net
you are the loser. Another said you
can grow the fruit and deliver it to
the packing house for 80 cents a box.
another 10. another 30, and so on. l
am sure this state of affairs does not
arise from ignorance. but from a gen.
eraI desire to keep it dark, as many of
the growers are shrewd, capable men.
and know to cent the cost of their
product. During the present year
there have been raised in round num-
bers perhaps $4,000 cars of oranges
and lemons from $4,000 acres, or an
average of 100 packed boxes to the
acre. This includes all sorts and con-
ditiOns Of orange and lemon groves,
from six to twenty years old.
Many of them are on ground that
is totally unfit for the purpose the
sooner uprOOted the better, but all
going to make up the average. So 100
packed boxes is too low The best
crop of navels i'm this vicinity was
slightly above 700 packed boxes to the
acre. The poorest yield on land fit
for this fruit. fairly well treated. not
fortified, and trees ten years old, was
30 packed boxes to the acre, so
think any person raising oranges who
cannot grow $50 boxes per acre has
failed of even mediocre results and
had better attempt something else.
Lemons can be made to produce
slightly more and Valencia oranges
ahOVn
There is a point that is often over
looked, and that is that orange and
lemon trees properly cared for will in
crease in production fully ten per cent
per year until twenty-five years old,
and probably great deal longer.
Water is figured on the basis of two
and the amount allowed per tree is
six hour inches per year. This price
is based upon the cost of pumped
water in this vicinity. Fertilizer is
figured upon the basis of seven and
One-half pounds standard commercial
goods per tree each year at $50 per
ton. This item can be reduced more
than half by green manuring. The
cost of labor, picking, hauling. etc. is
from actual experience.
The figures given below are Based
upon twenty acres. as one man and
team can do all the work except pick
ing, which is figured separately The
item of interest on the value of the
ranch is not included, as UP to the
present time and for many years to
come the increase in productiveness
will more than offset the interest
The average amount received by the
grower this season in this vicinity was
slightly over so cents per packed box
from the Exchange, which handled
over 10 per cent of the fruit grown
