Values are the market prices for the

ing commercial fertilizers, at the date

of the season" They may, but sell

and are made liberal to meet any
slight advance or decline
They are compiled from price lists
and commercial reports by reputable
dealers and journals.
The question is frequently asked:
"What is Smiths Fruit and Vine
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-02-21
The Eradication of Pear Blight.

The California Fruit Grower devotes
most of its space in the last number
to this subject.
If it is successfully accomplished in
that state, it will be good news to
our pear growers in Florida The
blight has become serious matter,
some years i'm some localities it has
| almOs or quite, destroyed the crop.
The following is the editors intro
duction of the subject:
Pear blight, the disease which has
| already done so much damage to the
pear orchards of the state and which
short time ago appeared liable to
wipe out entirely the commercial pear
growing industry of California, ap-
pears now to be i'm fair way to be
controlled, if not entirely eradicated.
This result has been accomplished only
after careful and energetic work on
the art of those who have had the
in charge-the experts of the
I States Department of Agri
culture, of the State University Elk
pertinent Station and of the Horti-
cultural Commissioners Office The
wOl has been arduOus and at times
discOuraging, but persistence has done
a great DEAL and conditions now are
such as to justify the belief that, with
a continuance of the same earnestness
that has characterized the work
hitherto-and with the hearty co-ope-
artion of the growers themselves
blight will soon cease to be menace
to the pear growing industry of Cali
fOrnia
The cooperation of the growers is
absolutely essential to the success of
the undertaking. The few men in
charge of the work i'm the different dis
tricts cannot do everything themselves.
They should only have to instruct and
direct. The actual work should be
done by those in whose interest it is
being carried on. The eradication of
pear blight from orchards of CaIifOr-
mia will not greatly benefit the experts
and those who are assisting them.
The grower is the one to profit, and he
should be the one most eager to do
all possible to assist in Kidding the
state of this menace to the future of
one of her great industries.
Much credit is due Professor NJ. B.
Waite the expert of the Department
of Agriculture for the interest he has
taken i'm this work and for his untir-
ing efforts to bring it to a successful
conclusion. Professor Waite has
Srent much of his time in California
during the past year, and he has just
returned to assume charge of the cam
paign. He brings with him four other
experts of the Department, who will
cooperate with Professor Smith and
state experts.
Professor Smith has sseenS ork5slk
assiduously during the Fast np1fh4
directing the growers and the snen
under him in their fEtss against Ne
blight, and final success, IL ft tofnes,
will be largely through his efforts.

worth per tOn?' Such question can
not be answered categOrically. BY an
alysis, the ammonia, available phos-
phoric acid, and potash may be de-
termined, and the inquirer Informed
what the cost of the necessary ma
terial to compound a ton of goods
similar to Smiths Fruit and Vine
would be, using none but accepted and
well known materials of the best
quality.
State values do not consider "trade
secrets,'' loss on bad bills, cost of adj
vertisements, and expenses of cOllec-
tons. The estate value'' is simply
that price at which the various in
gradients necessary to use in COM
pounding a fertilizer can be purchased
for Gosh in ton lots at Florida seaports
These price lists, in one, five and
ten lots, are published i'm this report,
with the Estate values for 1906 de-
Quoted therefrOm.
The valuation for 1906 being the
same as for 1905.

unit is twenty pounds, or 1 per
cent. i'm ton. We find this to be the
easiest and quickest method for calcu-
lating the value of fertilizer. To Illus
trate this takes for example fertilizer
which analizes as follows:
Available phOSphOric acid, 60 per
cent. X$1.OO-6.22; insoluable phospho-
ric acid, 1.5O per cent. X.20-.3O; am
monia, 3.42 per cent. x$3.
potash, 7.23 per cent. x$1.1O-7.95;
mixing and bagging, $3.50.
Commercial value at sea ports, 1851,
or a fertilizer analysis as follows:
ANdlldDle pHOSpHOElC dCIu. pei
cent. X$1 500; ammonia, per
cent. X$3. 1920; potash, 2 per cent.
x$1 1920; Mixing and bagging,
$1.5O.
Commercial value at sea ports,
$3.50.
The above valuations are for cash
for materials delivered at Florida sea-
ports, and they can be bought in one
ton lots at these prices at the date of
issuing this Bulletin. Where fertili-
Zers are bought at interior points, the
additional freight to that point must
be added
If purchased in carload lots for cash,
Il reduction of ten per cent. can be
made in above valuations, l. e.:
Available phOsphOric acid. 90 cents
per unit; potash K2O), 90 cents per

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

FARM
The necessity for and value of, the
Farmers Institute, has been practical
ly illustrated by the results of those
held throughout the state during 1903
and 1904. The practical work of the
various lecturers, and personal eX-
plantations given the consumer of fer
tiliZerS, and commercial stock feed, is
of more direct benefit and value to
our farmers and fruit growers than
the bulletins, and pamphlets dis
tributed. The discontinuance of these
institutes failure to appropriate
the necessary funds, to carry them on
has been a step backward i'm the
agricultural development of the state
That the people of the state value
and appreciate these institutes is evil
denced by the numerous requests for
lecturers to meet various farmers
club and associations. When practi-
cal such demands are complied with.
A liberal appropriation should be made
to meet this demand, and system
provided by which at least one insti-
tute should be held in each county
during each year, where those Ques-
tons of greatest interest to the 10
cality can be discussed, and the best
and most economical methods of
modern agriculture explained direct to
the people most interested.
In conclusion 1 desire to commend
the careful, scientific work, industry,
and accuracy of Mr.. NJ. G. DOnk, re-
Gently the Assistant State Chemist,
NOW an assistant in the Chemical
Bureau of the United States Agri-
cultural Department.; also to the
ability. care and industry of the pre-
sent Assistant State Chemists, Mr.. l..
Hamburger, and DIR. c.. G.. Hellman.
To their careful and accurate work.
the present high standing of the
''FlOrida State Laboratory is largely
attributable. In every instance, when
an appeal from the results of the
State LabOratory's analysis, has been
taken, the correctness of the State
Laboratory work has been shown.
To the Hon. b. E. McLin, Commits
SiOner of Agriculture, l am under
many obligations for his uniform
courtesy. prOmptness in decision,
heary support and cordial cooperation
in maintaining and executing the Fer
tiliZer and Stock Food Laws of the
State.
