Grist from the Nut Growers.

We give, this week, short report
of discussion at the National Nut
Growers Association which was held
ut Dallas. Texas, as published in Farm
and Ranch. A-1ittle of it was en-
bodied in Mr.. Stringfellow's last letter.
but will bear re-reading.
During the first days session of the
National Nut Growers Association,
held at Dallas, question was drop
ped in the question box that drew
forth much discussion. "Why do
pecan trees die in the top when cul
tivated?"
Mr.. Falkner declared they did not.
The inquirer here explained that he
had three acres of trees located in a
cultivated valley which were dying
back in the tops, and he wanted to
learn the cause.
Mr.. Fall<ner then stated this trou-
BILE was due to the bud worm. and eX-
planned how the moth deposits an egg
in the bud and when this matches it

Japanese Cane.

The editor of the StOckman express
very strongly. All the evidence seems
to be in its favor, at least as stock
food. 1t undoubtedly makes excellent
syrup and does not need to be repIant-
ed every year as other cane does. If
you are interested in stock. or making
syrup. it would be the part of a wise
trial Order your seed soon or YOU
may he too late.
The more opportunity we have to
investigate the value of Japanese cane
as stock food the more we are i'm
pressed with its value For hogs and
cattle alike it is proving one of the
best things that we have ever seen
tried. and as carbohydrate. or fat pro-
ducer it bids fair to do as much for
the South as the velvet bean as a
protein producer. One dairyman with
whom we are personally acquainted
increased his milk output eleven gal
Ions week by its use and that from
Il small bunch of cows. Mr. Plank
who is one of the best authorities On
cattle feeding i'm this section cut his
the past year and set it up on end
in his barn and is feeding it now, and
says that it does not sour as would
the ordinary green or red cane under
ike conditions. and cattle eat it greedi- |
ly and thrive on it. Mr.. P. w. Smith
banked about thirty tons from an acre
and now has it practically a green |
feed. Another advantage in it is that |
when once planted it is good for all |
time. As to soils that it suits. it seems |
to thrive anywhere and under almost |
all conditions. but no crop pays better
for good cultivation.

English Peas.

Editor Florida AgricuIturist.
This winter so far, has been almost
ideal. for the fruit grower and vegeta-
BILE crOpper
The minimum temperature for the
season has been 81 degrees. No vegeta-
bleS at ClermOnt and vicinity have
been frozen and have been bringing
very fair prices, particularly, during
the past week, which in large meas
ure comes from the fact, that all of
Texas has been unfortunate in hav-
ing had severe cold week or so ago
English Peas have been going to
market for week now. and are bring

about 30 crate, land more. in some in
stances) are picked from an acre of
this pine land, and with a half ton of
cOttOn-seed to the A. it can very east
ly be seen that there is some profit in
a crop of English peas.
After trying several of the fertilizers
it appears that cotton seed meal is the
best to be used. Stable manure will
make the peas all go to pods.
There is no doubt but that COM
plete commercial fertilizer for peas,
will contain much cotton seed. Labor
in picking costs 30 cents, per crate.
one hand can on an average pick 4
crates a day. AS is generally known.
English peas do not freeze as easily
as beans,-which is also a profitable
crop to grow in this section.
About the only objection to crop
of peas. is. that they do not grow taller
than foot and that makes them hard
to harvest.

Japanese Sugar Cane a Valuable
Forage crop.

After reading the letter in your
valuable paper, taken from the Tampa
Times, sugar from Japanese sugar
cane" feel called upon to give to your
readers my experience with this valua-
bic crop.
1 have been instrumental in it's eX-
tensive cultivation for the past few
years. l first planted it in 1901 as an
experiment on high pine land on
which it was believed that no crop
could be raised at a profit except Cit
rus fruits. My success was most Won
derful the first year and at once prov
ed the fallacy of the idea that no crop
could be profitably cultivated on high
sandy land but Citrus fruits. My sue
cess was heralded so quickly all over
the state that l could not supply the
demand for seed cane to plant that
season. | was not aware at that time
that it was valuable for sugar manu-
facturers but demonstrated the first
year that it was very valuable for
syrup making and that it made very
high grade syrup. From syrup making
have been experimenting with it as
forage crop and have also demon
strated that it is | believe, at greater
value for forage crop than it is for
syrup manufacture. | commenced by
running the cane through a feed cutter
and feeding it to my horse with feed
meal | soon discovered that he kept in |
better condition with steady work |
with one half the ration of meal with |
the sugar cane than he did with a full !
ration of meal and hay. | then tested |
its feeding qualities on hogs. with such |
success that | am now in the hog rails
ing industry for keeps. l have been
feeding several hogs on the cane since
November and 1 am pleased to say
with most satisfactory results. | have

 This was first published in the Phila- delphia Times, and SO great a commo- tion did it make among the gangsters that before nightfall copies of the paper could not be purchased. Then it was printed in book form and sold on the streets by the thousands, and a second edition was illustrated by Thomas Mast, the cartoonist, whose cartoons were in- strumental in the overthrow of the Tweed ring. This publication was used as a text book by the committee of one hum dred which, after a great battle, defeated

Hers Is house that bears about 1t the spirit of the old south of freedom, of truth and of love. ''When the door latch clicks behind you, Pain and grief can never find you For all cares are left outside" Second. we thank the General Sumpter chapter for many things For being so fine as a chapter, for having such line members, for dispensing fine hosptath- ties in such fine manner; but most or all, oh sumptuous Sumptersl we thank you for that fine luncheon.

 We may live without George" for all
 heroes are posing, We may live without Paul. for we are
 not dozing,
 We may live without lavender, potpourri
 and spices,
 But club woman MUST have her salads
 and ices.
 Third, We thank Miss Annie Parker, the sweet young lady whose voice thrilled us with It's melody. for her beautiful songs, the words and music transported us from city life, club strife, and worries to glimpse of "lowland fields and fences, We seemed to see as softly rose The echoes faint and fieeting, Green hillsides sloping to vale Whose leafy shadows screen the pale Wood flowers from mondays greeting" Fourth. from an angel to ----- prin- ter Is but a step, and recognizing the truth, "Facile descensus Averno,' we turn easily towards the representatives of the press. We thank them for their constant kindness. patience and long sui ferng, but far more for the beautiful freedom even abandonment they are ca pablo of showing, when dealing with facts.
 Oh, Truth, we have no need of theel Let fancy cut her capers, We fain would be far, far from thee When they put us in the papers Fifth to the officers and our dear state regent we owe no set. form of gratitude for love is the fulfilling of all obligations.

the gang which was said to have been as bad as the Tweed ring ever had been. Reform was in the air at the time and the decent citizens wanted to down the Gashouse ring, but so firmly was it estab- lshed that it was thought a futile effort to fight, and then the committee of one hundred was named and the greatest po litical battle in the history of this city was on.
 With these conditions, the time was most opportune for the publication of his satire. When 1t did get on the street the public was amazed and the politicians trembled. The public full we'll understood that the character of Michael Mulhooly was a picture of Leader James McManus of the infamous Gas Trust com bine. Blossom Brick was a faithful de- lineation of William Elwood Rowan, the West Philadelphia leader, who died in his term as sheriff. The other characters were those of the ward heelers and retainers. So plain was 1t that the gang sters saw themselves placed before the public in satire of exceptional keenness.
 The satire reviewed the campaigns and showed how the two chief figures al- ways managed to have something to do with all municipal Improvements. and how, if any money was to be spent they or their henchmen were always on the committees. The satire ends with the election of Mulhooly against man who was for reform, but who knew nothing of practical politics.
 All over the country the satire was printed, because, while it was peculiarly adapted locally, 1t depicted bossism as it existed all over the land It was en- joyed as much by the majority of the citizens as it was cursed by the gang sters, to whom the moral was plainly too obvious. Some of Mir. Shapley's friends never forgave him for what he had writ ten and some would not speak to him for years afterward.
