WHERE COTTON IS STILL Ming OF ALL CROPS

Ell PASO, Tex, Oct. 17.-All
Texas is busy gathering the great
cotton crop, the biggest in the his
tory of the biggest of states, and
people needing labor in other
branches of business are compelled
to wait until the great white har-
vest is over.
During this season, as Glands"
become in greater demand, the
price for pickers gradually rises
from about 40 cents to as high as a
dollar a hundred pounds, and this
brings pickers from the railroads,
the cities and the docks until prac-
tically every other business is for
saken. Whole families so to the
fields and everybody works. A
good picker can gather nearly 400
pounds of cotton day, so quite a
comfortable sum can be laid aside
for the winter.
Texas is the banner cotton state

Fig Culture

The Peach Grower publishes an in
teresting article on this subject:
For many years the Southern farm
er has cultivated figs in a limited
way around door yards; in fact many
growers believe that figs cannot be
successfully grown in orchards. As
an old farmer remarked to us, '|The

rOneOus. Figs are now grown in very
large orchards in Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Texas. with good results

of all kinds of manureS than frequent
cultivation, in fact deep cultiva ton

so my trees were not seriously hurt
by the scales.
All groves that get a start of the
fungi by the time the flies become
thick, escape the severe visitation of
the scales. And yet the white fly is
a great plague and should be ''kept
OUT as long as possible. In sum-
mertime they breed on many annual
weeds, rose bushes, and ornamental
plants, so there is but little chance
but what ultimately they will beevery-

is possible to make a culture of the
Brown Fungus, that we can spray on
our trees in dry weather and get it
actively to work; also fungus will

white fly. Prof. Gossard was working
on the culture problem when he left
Lake City, and now Prof. Berger is
looking after a fungus that will at
tack the fly and destroy it as the
Brown and Red Fungus destroy the
pupae. Then we may see the last of
the white fly. At present the Brown
and Red Fungi will enable us to pro
duce profitable crops of oranges and
peaches, and no person should be
seriously discouraged.

the sake of brevity this article will be
somewhat didactic, but every state
ment here can easily be proven true
by everyone who will investigate.
One of the first places infested by
white flies was Manatee county, in
, mile from my nursery. By closing my
grounds to the passage of persons in
teams and thoroughly spraying every
tree on which / could find a pupae or
a fly, l kept them from becoming
numerous, for several years. Within
three or four years the 'Red Fungus
appeared, and gave US hope, but the
fungus could not cope with the flies
as it only increased by spores. About
this time planting of citrus trees al
most ceased here. Two or three years
after this, while Prof. H. J. Webber
was here on a visit he found some of
the Brown Fungus, and gave us more
hope. The Red Fungus is quite a
help, but it cannot increase as fast as
the flies. But with favorable condi-
tiOns cheat and plenty of rain), the
Brown Fungus can increase many
thousand times faster than the white
fly
On the second of August, 1902, [
carefully looked all over my nursery
trees to find for shipment, some Fun
gus trees that had been ordered. II
found no good ripe fungus, but did
find from 400 to 1000 live pupae on
each leaf. One week later, August
9th, l examined again, and on ten
leaves there were only five live pu-
pae, so in one week the Brown Fun
gus had destroyed more than 80 per
cent of the pupae
Since both these fungi became fair
ly well scattered and we have learned
what they could do for us, tree plant |
ing commenced again. Florida statis-
tics will show that this county has
raised and shipped more oranges per
capita, than any other county; also |
the acres of new groves here show |
that we have been planting as many |
trees annually, as other counties |
When conditions are not favorable to |
the development of the Fungus the |
flies will increase and do DANA ge |
something's. or sometimes they will |
almost prevent any crop, but since the
fungi got well spread, only once have
the fIes reduced our crop about %

about 10 per cent. but most seasons |
our groves bear all they can on the

Besides being a delightful fruit i'm

ly any preserve higher in price or
more in demand than preserved figs,
when properly treated
Planting-Figs do best on sandy,
we'll drained loan; the figs can be easi-
ly and cheaply prOpagated from cut
tngs, and it is not unusual to see cut
tings planted in the spring mature
figs in a limited way the same year.
Fig cuttings or trees, should be plant
ed fifteen feet apart each way, or they
may be planted in rows fifteen feet
apart and eight feet in the row; it is
not bad idea to plant figs along
fences, Out-hOuses, barns and chicken
yards. Chickens do well under fig
trees, and so do the trees in conse-
quence.
Varieties-There are many excel
lent varieties such as: Celeste or
sugar Fig, the best for all purposes.

Coast country nursery or grower. Fig
trees have been known to yield 1000
pounds of fruit to the tree in one sea-

Fertilzers.-tA heavy application of
good strong barnyard manure each
year is desirable. even liquid manures
are keenly appreciated by fig trees.
Where barnyard manure is not avail
able in sufficient quantities, we would
advise to use monthly on small trees
three pounds of fertilizer containing:
Nitrogen, ) per cent; actual potash
