which he tested his syrup and proved
it to be several points in quality above
the standard.
Instances of this kind familiar
to old residents of this region, but this
one is given with some dc all to show
people abroad that any man blessed
with energy and intelligence can make
a living here.
Besides sugar cane, which is as easy
as grass to raise, sweet potatoes are
almost indigenous to this region. They
grow with the least cultivation, yield
about 300 bushels per acre, retail here
now at $1,OO per bushel, never less
than 75c, and wholesale all the year
round at soc. to 75c
Since the above was prepared, we
have found an article, i'm the Southern
CultivatOr, written from Tampa, prais
ing Japanese cane. If you have not
already tried it, it will pay you to
look over our advertising columns and
secure seed for a trial this spring
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-04-04

We have never been very enthusiaS-
tic about the canning business in Flo
rida. Yet it is possible that fruit
growers might find it profitable to can
the surplus and any fruit that was too
ripe for long shipment There is an
other fact that is forcing itself on the
growers, which is that frequently the
markets are glutted and prices so de-
pressed that it would be better to
dump the fruit overheard before it
starts. If in such cases the owner
could put it all into cans and hold for
a later market there might still be
some profit in fruit growing. A cor
respondent of the Southern Agricultu-
rist tells what he has been doing, i'm
,his case vegetables were also included.
4 1 cheerfully accept your kind invi-
tation to give your readers some points
on starting small canning plant. The
first move is to securean outfit and
proper Instructions These are ad-
vertised i'm all farm papers, and like
most other things, some are good and
relldDle anu some are not worth gully
dirt. My advise is to purchase such
as can prove that they have done the
work successfully, and not such as
claim that they can do it.
Next Re wants to get his cans. sol
der, labels, etc. as cheap as possible
| have tOund Baltimore, Md, the best
place. The sizes of cans mostly in use
are No. 3 and No. 2. then there are
half gallons, gallons, etc. The No 8
can holds just quart. and they are
packed in crates holding 500 each.
No. = cans hold twO-thirdS of a quart.
and are packed in the same way. So
less than 500 of a size cannot be
bought at wholesale prices. The No. 3
cans cost from $1.6O to $500 per hun
dred, and the No. 2 from 81 80 to 81 20.
They are always higher in summer, as
there is then greater demand. The
crates cost 10 to S5 cents each: solder
16 to IS cents per pound, and very
nice labels with name and address

Sugar Cane Pays.

There is no doubt about it. And the
stock farmer who does not plant some
Japanese cane this spring is making
a mistake However, this article was
not intended to boom Japanese cane
1t is for the benefit of our Northern
South to find new home. The Punta
Gorda Herald tells what has been
done near that place this last year
The prices quoted Sre much higher
than those which prevail in northern
and eastern parts of the state. AS
that part of the country fills up with
settlers more produce will be grown
and prices will necessarily go down.
Still there is no doubt that cane can
be profitably grown even at a much
lower price than is quoted
Mr.. w. C. Hayman, who is in charge
of an orange grove on Alligator creek
just north of town, presented to The
Herald last Saturday some samples of
excellent sugar and fine syrup of his
own making. The sugar is golden in
color and equal in flavor and sweeten-

This syrup retails here at Toe. a gal

Now add to this $3.50 worth of ''chew-

from the same acre to town people
who like to masticate it. and you be-
gin to realize what an acre in sugar
cane is worth. Nor is this all. for seed
enough was saved from this acre to
plant an additional acre, so that Mr..
Hayman this year has patch of two
acres.
We should have stated that Mr.
Hayman has a saccharometer, with
