Resignation of Prof Hume.

Our people will all remember Prof.
Hume, who left the State University
two years ago, to take a position with
the State Board of Agriculture of
North Carolina. We find an item
about him i'll the last Progressive
Farmer:
Prof H. Harold Hume, HOrticultur-
list of the North Carolina Department
of Agriculture, has accepted the posi-
ton of Professor of Horticulture in
Mcdonald College, near Montreal, Can
ada. and will leave North Carolina
September 1st. This announcement
is not only matter of personal sorrow
to the many friends to whom Prof.
Hume has endeared himself, but will
be regretted by thousands who have
heard him at our Farmers Institutes
Or who know in other ways of the
remarkably faithful and efficient serv-
ice he has rendered the agricultural
interests of the state. We are grieved
to lose him.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-04-11

the industry has really begun to look
up, and it seems as though there
were Il chance of making it a real
commercial success.
The mango is tropical fruit Flo
rida, below the latitude of Palm Beach,
Porto Rico. Hawaii and the Philip
pines, are all good spots, and it is eX-
pected that within few years the
mango industry will be worth reckon
ing with.
The fruit grows wild in Cuba. In
fact. if it had not been for the mango
Spain might have been still i'm pos
session of the island, for insurgents
were able to live on mangOs when
there was nothing else to live on.
Probably every one of the $1,000
American soldiers who poured into
Cuba ate mangOS. There is a spicy,
aromatic flavor to it that is found in
no other fruit.
The Department of Agriculture has
collected mangOs from all over the
world. and Mr.. Oliver who is in charge
of the tropical fruit work and is him
self a mango enthusiast, says that
there are many varieties. two especial
ly that can be eaten in polite society.
They are the MulgOba and the AlphO-
nos. and they are the chief sorts that
the department is trying to implant
in the Southern regions of this country.

was valued at almost any big price.
The dam of the Percheron was a Mon
tana bred grade shire that cost the
writer siXty-five dollars when five
years old.
Money in Draft HOrSeS.-It ought
not to take a very wise man to deter
mine which class Of animal would be
the most profitable for the Southern
farmer to grow. There seems to be
a strong prejudice in the South against
the draft horse, and the reason for
this the writer has not been able to
ascertain, but believes it to be simply
from lack of knowledge of this great
branch Of the noble equine race.
Certain it is that there is no ami
NAL on the farm today-save the hog
that will pay a more handsome profit
on the cost of production than will a
first-class draft horse. And the pre-
sent profit not only seems assured,
but the constant upward tendency of
prices for frst-class animals would
lead us to believe that still greater
profits await the successful breeder of
the big draft gelding. The idea
seems to prevail with a great many
of our people that the drafter must
necessarily be a great hulking, awk
ward. big-headed lump of fat. If some
of my readers would visit one of the
great horse markets of our country
and see some Of the great ton beauties
as they come into the sale ring,
grand combination of power, style,
symmetry, action and nerve, my belief
is that their opinion of this, the nOblest
work of the animal breeder, would
undergo a rapid change. And when
from the sale ring they heard the
prices bid they might conclude that
few of those four to five thousand
dollar carloads of horses would not be
any detriment to the farms of the
South were they grown here.

Culture of MangOs.

The editor of Green's Fruit Grower
writes briefly about this fruit as fol-
lows:
The Department of Agriculture
wants to teach the American public
to appreciate mangOs, and thereby
add another tropical or sub tropical
fruit to the American market, says
the Washington Star. The depart
ment has been working at mango
culture for about fourteen years and
has one of the most complete cOllec
tiOns of mango plants i'm the world
But it is only in the past year that

Crosses in Carload Lots


Water cress grows readily in FlOri-
da, and if there is such demand for
it. we think that some one should try
it Oh a large scale. We know of its
being grown and sold in Jacksonville
this is sufficient evidence that it will
do well.
We found the following account in
an exchange, credited to Exchanges:
''That fellow over there is the Water
cress CrOesus," said the clerk in an
uptown hotel. nOdding in the direction
of the theatre ticket stand, where
big, fine-lOOking man of forty, well
dressed and apparently accustomed to
New York hotel surroundings, was
buying tickets for party of friends.
Fifteen years ago." continued the
clerk, 'he was a poor devil down in
the mountains of West Virginia, with
nothing but what he could earn as =
labOrer and no prospects. One day he
went to Baltimore as a caretaker with
a load of cattle
There he dropped into a barrOOm
and saw a plateful of water-cress on
the bar. He made some inquiries
about where it came from, what it
cost etc. and went back to the West
Virginia mountains thinking.
HE knew piece of sunny ground
where watercress grew abundantly,
and he figured that there might be
money in shipping it to Baltimore.
He made inquiries and found that he
could buy the ground for $500 an
acre. 1t was only a few hundred feet
from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
but the nearest shipping point was
four miles away.
HE talked the venture over with
the cattle man for whom he worked
and got his promise to help him. On
his next trip to Baltimore a deal was
closed with a commission merchant, to
handle shipments of watercreSS, and
the cattle mans influence with the
railroad people was sufficient to eX-
act a promise to put in a siding long
enough to hold four freight cars
''On returning home the cattle man
advanced 500 and the whole swamp
was bought Within a month the rail
way siding was in and the watercress
CrOesus was gathering and shipping
a carload a week.
''CrOeSus repaid the cattle man be-
fore six months. The next year he
put up little shop where his crates
were made. He soon cleared out all
the other growth in the swamp, plant
ed more watercress and in another
year had a solid bed of twenty acres.
He found that by building dam he
could extend the swamp over nearly
one hundred acres further down the
valley, but he didn't build it till he
had got the ground.
"Watercress requires no cultivation
and no replanting- nothing but water
and harvesting. 1t produces through
out the year, and costs nothing but
the wages of the men who gather it,
"CrOesus soon extended his market
to Philadelphia, New York and other
cities and his fortune was made. Now
he has nothing to do but spend his |
income and let the watercress grow.
NO, he is not the only watercress |
producer, but l guess he's the only one |
who ships it in carload lots and to all
parts of the country" !
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-04-11
Money in Draft Horses.


which we have before now expressed
our opinion. We have the best climate
in the United States, and the soil to
produce the feed, why should not our
farmers get a share of the large sums
spent for horses and mules.
If the money paid by the farmers
of the Southeast each year, to Western
and Northern growers of horses and
mules could be aScertained; the
amount would be an eye-Opener to us.
Ii each county in the state uses as
many ill proportion as does the writer's
home county, the sum total sent out
of our state would be around nine
hundred thousand dollars; and if our
sister states use as many as do we,
the money sent to Western farmers in
payment for draft animals to use in
the growing of our crops of corn and
cotton would amount to over eight
million dollars.
$S,O0O,OOO Annually for Western
Horses and Mules.-This sum means
the gross receipts from One-siXtieth of
the SOuth's entire cotton crop each
year.
Now why do we donate this vast
sum of money each year to enrich the
Western farmers?
If for charitable purposes, we
should remember that charity should
begin at home.
If because we think we cannot grow
these animals prOftably in our sec
ton, we are simply laboring under a
mistaken idea.
If because we do not want to exert
ourselves along other lines than those
our fathers followed, we need some
thing to stir us up.
Big Profits on S1OO Land: our $40
Land will Make as Much FOrage-The
majority of horses that are sent South
are bred and raised on land worth
from fifty to one hundred and fifty
dollars per acre, while good farms all
over the South can be bought at one
fifth of these prices, and farms, too,
that can be made to produce as much
Gf not mOre) hay and other forage per
acre as the farms in any of the West
ern states. The writer knows of a
farm in his own country which sold
fifteen years ago at ten dollars per
acre that is producing more feed per
acre than any farm in the West of
which he has knowledge.
1t would seem to me that now,
when every effort is geing made to
keep down the acreage to be planted
in cotton, would be a good time to
