Florida Sugar Cane.

Interest in the cultivation of sugar
the country at large, and all authori
ties are receiving more than the us
ual number Of inquiries about the
matter. This is to some extent ac-
counted for by Governor Broward's
ment of this great region within the
campaign for the reclamation OF the
Everglades, which must be splendidly
adapted to the cultivation Of cane, if
good for anything at all. The place
ment of this great region within the
domain of arabic land would give to
Florida as large territory of sugar
producing land as possessed by Louis
lana and Texas, in both of which it is
paying proposition.
The glades are further south than
either and presumably of an order of
either Of those states. Manatee coun-
ty has in a small way shown the very
best of sugar yielding cane ever seen
in the world. The. peculiarities of
soil and climate combine to produce
a cane that is most easily treated and
makes the best and largest returns.
On the face Of the general PROPOSE
ton the entire area of the Ever
glades would be equally adapted to
the profitable production of cane, and
after allowing for all reasonable dis
counts there would seem to be a pref
ty fair proportion of merit in the prop
osition.
The Times has all along contended
that the lands in South Florida are
generally adapted to the profitable
production of sugar and are only I'M
available for lack of organization and
capital. 1t has no doubt that the
laid itself is suitable, that the cane
can be grown and converted into
sugar at profit, and that the only
things lacking are the money and the
directing power. If the farmers would
only allow themselves to be induced
to contract to supply the cane in suf-
ficient quantities, if somebody would
only contract to take the cane and
make sugar out of it-then the thing
would be done. But in the absence

of this conjunction we limp along,
dsregarding one of the best money

any community in the world-Tampa

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-03

We can agree with most of the
article under the above title which
was published in the Reporter Star.
We have no doubt that the best way
for Florida farmers to improve their
stock of hogs is to use the best native
soWs and a good pure bred male and
raise grade pigs. But if you wish
the Improvement to continue, do not
breed from one Of the grade males.
Pigs from full blooded male will
he better than the native sow, but
with a grade male there will soon be
a reverting to the original breed.
wish to correct the mistaken i'm
preston that has been conveyed to
me- that l am raising hogs on the
range at the expense and annoyance
Of neighboring farmers. My first
move in the hog industry was to en-
close part of my grove with a hog
proof fence, and planting a crop in the
enclosure suitable for pasture, at the
proper time l turned in my stock. 1
then made other enclosures and by
planting them alternately, 1 have a
green pasture for them all of the time,
and but very little other feed is
required to keep them in a fine grow
ing condition.
I find the Japanese sugar cane the
most valuable crop to cultivate for
that purpose. l have supplied it to
them daily since last November and
will continue through the entire year.
After my experience with the Japan
csc sugar cane, / think that | could
hardly raise hogs profitably and sue
cessfully without it, as the principal
feed. | sold a pair of my grade pigs,
when two months old, to Mr. Neim-
eyer, of Longwood, four months ago.
Yesterday I saw them, and they will
tip the scales at $50 pounds, six
months old.
i believe that I have the best
grade of pigs adapted to Florida.
While pure blooded stock may COM
mand a higher fancy price among
those who clamor for nothing but pure
blooded stock, [ have never seen any
that would surpass my graded stock
for general profit. The benefit de-
rived from hogs pastured in an orange
grove, is a revelation to me. The
benefit to the grove will more than
pay for the extra fencing and looking
after the stock, and as most of the
fattening feed consists of crops that
are not suitable for shipment to dis
tant markets. the amount of the check
received for your bunch of hogs at
killing time is nearly all clear gain.
While on the other hand those who
raise hogs to feed off the labor of the
neighboring farmers and who, in
many cases lose fifty or more per
cent Of their stock and all of the bene-
fits of their fertilizer, will find at
killing time, that there is not much
gain on the right side of their ledger.
I wish to go on record as being

New Hardy Orange.

ell, to many of the Northern agricul-
tural papers. Quite frequently the
same article will appear in two or
more of them at the same time. This |
week we found an account Of the |
Morton citrange in the Indiana Farm
er and also in the American Cultivat-
or. 1t is as follows:
''What is the new citrange?' '"Why, |
the citrange," replied Professor Web |
Der, head plant breeder of the Depart |
ment of Agriculture, els the new
hardy orange-that is, this is the name |
we have given tit is the hybrid or |
| cross between the little hardy, orna- |
mental Japanese orange and the Flo
rida sweet orange. How good is it to
eat; how far north will it grow? 1t |
| is sweet enough and Of good enough |
flavor and big enough so that the
| average orange eater will think he has |
gotten hold of an average orange, and !
it will grow far enough north to add
an empire to the orange producing
area In Georgia and Alabama eight |
degrees above zero left the citrange |
unhurt and saucy."
These results are not bad, when DIT |
| is remembered that this work of
transformation began only seven or
eight years ago, that the Florida or
| aDOn iS co tnD1n,. that 6nO~rnn or fwO
below freezing frequently kills whole
groves and that the fruit of the hardy
japanese orange is only miniature
affair of an inch or so in diameter,
damned full of seeds, and as bitter
as gall.
The new citrange has been named
the Morton, in honor of former Secre-
tary ]. Sterling Morton, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Most of the
fruits of the Morton citrange which
have been produced UP to the present
time have proved seedless. 1t is prob
able that it will prove to be a practi-
cally seedless orange.

prophet as we'll as that he "has made
good is shown by a conversation 1
had with him on the probable outcome
of this hybridization, in February,
1899, printed in the New York Sun,
in which he said cit is almost i'm
possible that it can fail. It is not
matter of chance From the seedlings
we now have it is evident that we
have mingled the blood of the two
species and it is not possible that
some of these plants will not prove
more hardy than the sweet orange.
Suppose we find that we have secured
a tree that will withstand the frOsts
| Of Georgia but which bears a fruit |
that is between the worthless fruit of
the Japanese trifoliate and the orange. |
Decidedly we have progressed. We
have not yet attained our full desire, |
but we have made progress, for then
we can begin to work from hybrids |
between the hybrid and the parents |
There are any number of different
strains possible. Suppose on the other |
hand, that we should obtain cross |
sufficiently hardy, but bearing fruit
only slight Improvement on the fruit |
