A regular contributor to the Far
mer's Home Journal, has been in Flor
ida, writing from Tampa, he relates
some Of his experience and expresses
his opinions as to some of the things
which he has seen:
This is winter time, but no winter
here, for it is farming time when
crops are planted and harvests are
gathered. The "gold and the green
mark beauty on the orange groves,
and we are quite ready to say that a
section of the first garden planted by
God had escaped the bite of the ser
pent of Sin, and dropped down in a
new world where, as it were, two
seasons meet, and flowers bloom and
fruit r1pens every month in the year
The Fountain of Youth was a de-
luslve myth, but a climate of health
and everblooming flowers that gave
the christening name, Florida, to the
land. Tradition, if not true history.

reau of Chemistry, u. S. Department
of Agriculture, in speaking Of the
utilization of waste material, or by
products, for the manufacture of in
dustria1 alcohol, mentions the stalks
and cobs of sweet corn, the waste
products of canneries, wood pulp and
waste wood as possible materials for
this purpose.
Should the actual manufacturing
operations show that palmetto roots
can be successfully and prohtably
converted into denatured alcohol, the
industry should prove an important
one in Florida, for the supply of
material is we'll nigh inexhaustible.
Further Investigations will be re-
ported later
In explanation it may be stated
that industrial alcohol is domestic
alcohol that has been rendered unfit
for use as a beverage or as a liquid
medicine, by having mixed with it a
small amount of denaturing or pois-
onous material, and may be with
drawn from bond, tax free. The de-
maturing materials do not render it
unfit for use in the arts and indus
tries and for heat, light and fuel.

This is big country and Godblest
one. At one end of it the polar bear
makes his home inside of the eter-
nal iceberg, and at the other end
the alligator makes his wallow and
fish and mosquitoes bite at the same
time. But enough of this skyscrap-
ing and sand digging talk.
Florida is a growing country now.
The first discovered and proclaimed,
yet the most tardy to be occupied
and appreciated Florida for long
time stood at the foot of the list in
Congress, but in the last census she
got one more for company, and the
next time she will double her pre-
sent representation. Mark what I
say: This land is getting her proper
place at the family board of her sis

Barring Out Suspected Stock.


The Citrograph publishes an arti-
Gle on this subject, written, by the
horticultural commissioner of San
Bernardino county, California, and
read at the Fruit Growers Conven-
ton at Hanford, December 5th
AS all we'll posted horticulturists
know, all Of our very numerous bad
fruit tree pests have been shipped
into our state on nursery stock of
all kinds.
We, of California, are noted for be-
ing in the front rank in the matter
of inspection and quarantine. And
yet it should be apparent to all that
something has been awry with Our
methods else we would not today be
taxed with such a long list of bad
fruit pests. -
The white scale, Icerya PURCHASE,
was introduced into California from
Australia on acacia plants in 1868
by Mr.. George Gorden of Menlo
Park. From there it spread all over
the state and cost an immense
amount of money to fight it prior to
the introduction of it's natural en-
emy, Vedalia Cardinals.
The red scale, Aspidiotus Aurantii,
was first introduced into California
on six lemon trees from Australia by
Don Mateo Keller of Los Angeles
When we contemplate the immense
amount of damage done by this pest
to our citrus groves and the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars that
have been spent in fighting it, surely
we realize what a great thing it
would have been if those little lemon
trees had been dropped into the
ocean or burned or at least quaran-
tined until the trees were proven
to be perfectly clean.
Mytilaspis Citricola, the purple
scale, was first introduced into the
United States on some lemons ship
ped into Jacksonville, Florida, from
Bermuda, in 1855. This was so long
ago, and the damage so great in
Florida that it would seem to the
average person that every care would
have been taken to keep it out of our
state. 1t would seem as if the nursery
men interested in Florida stock
would wish not to have it spread.
The facts are that certain nursery
men who raise and budded citrus
trees in Florida shipped great
many carloads into this state. Many
OF the trees were covered with the
purple scale. When our Inspector
quarantined the infested trees, burned

Palmetto Roots for Industrial de-
natured) Alcohol.


natured) Alcohol.
Believing that the large roots OF
the saw palmetto (Serenoa serrulata)
commonly known as scrub palmetto,
might contain enough starch to make
them Of some value, I recently made
an analysis of sample collected a
few weeks ago in the vicinity of the
Experiment Station, with the result
that [ found about 7 1-3 per cent
of starch.
Another sample, collected few
years ago, and taken almost entirely
from the corky part of the root,
showed still higher percentage.
The samples examined were of the
air-dried, not the green material
So far as [ can learn, the amount
of starch in the root of this plant
has not before been determined
DR.. E. R. Flint has reported a sam
pie (Seventh annual report of the
Mass. Experiment StatioD that con-
tanned oo.o5 per cent, of non-nitro-
genous extract Carbohydrates and
2I.25 per cent cellulose.
In some recent unpublished notes
on Saw Palmetto he further says
There is also a certain amount of
starch in the root as shown by the
iodine test"
Should other samples, taken at diff
ferent seasons of the year, and from
other sections of the State, show a
percentage of starch as high or high
er than those | have examined, it
seems quite possible that it might
be utilized as source of denatured
alcohol, either the alcohol being man
ufactured as an independent industry,
or as by-product from the extrac-
ton Of tannic acid, Of which there
is considerable present.
In addition to the starch, there is
present some cellulose, and a gummy
substance (not yet studied), and no
doubt portion of these could be con-
verted into fermentable sugar.
The weight of alcohol that may be
produced from a given material, is
estimated at little less than one
half Of the fermentable substance pre-
sent, it being understood that the
fermentable substance is expressed in
terms Of sugar, and since all the
starch present can be converted into
sugar, the amount of alcohol that
could be produced would be equal
to about one-half the starch present,
or 3 2-3 pounds per hundred pounds
of root
The weight of gallon of o5 per
cent alcohol is given as nearly seven
pounds, hence a ton of the dry roots
should produce about ten gallons of
o5 per cent alcohol, if the starch only
is available.
