Live at Home.

The soil and climate of the different
parts Of this state are SO varied that
we could much more easily live at
home than almost any other state.
In fact, we can prohtably grow al
most everything needed by Our pop
ulation with the possible exception Of
bread stuffs. 1t is absolutely certain
that we could raise Our own meat,
much cheaper than we can import it.
Beef, mutton, pork and poultry can
be grown in this state cheaper than
in any other state in the Union We
already furnish a large part of the
fruit and vegetables used by Our peo-
pie, and a very little effort would en-
able us to produce full supply. What
we need most is to raise more stock
and make Our own meat.
Since the panic there has been a
scarcity of currency throughout the
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-12-04
According to the

entire country. According to the
Progressive Farmer, the Western
packing houses have been taking ad-
vantage Of the fact that we are OBJ
liged to import Our meat, to sweep
the currency from the South into their
own section. This was done by giving
their agents strict orders to sell only
for cash, or where checks were taken,
to cash them at once and send the
currency by express to the home Of
flee The editor Of the Progressive
Farmer took this as a text to preach
a short but earnest sermon on the
folly of sending Our money to north
ern dealers for things which we could
as we'll produce at home. This is in
exact accordance with what we have
always urged At times it seems al
most useless to talk, but it is the only
way that anything is accomplished,
that is by line upon line. When will
Our people learn that the only way
to get ahead in the world is to pro-
duce all that we can and spend as
little as possible?

the passage Of laws which would do
away with gambling in futures, it
would be great benefit to the whole
country. We hope that the time is
not far distant when the prices Of farm
products will be regulated by supply
and demand instead of by the gam
blers and spectators in the necessaries
of life.
It is surprising how many thousands
of men in this country have no honest
means of support, but make their liv
ing by preying upon the accumulations
of others, by various tricks and gam
bling Devices An era Of honesty is
greatly needed in this country.

The Panic.

The newspapers TEEN with attempt
ed explanations of the cause Of the
panic Probably there never was a
more causeless one in the history OF
the United States. This country never
was in a more prosperous condition
than at the present time. The long
continued prosperity has brought on
an era of initiation which has caused
an unjusti6able rise in prices. Pro-
badly it may result in lasting benefit
to the country generally, if prices are
somewhat reduced.
1t is universally acknowledged that
the panic was caused by speculation
and gambling. # it should result in

The Bureau of Plant Industry.

In the National Plant Introduction
Garden at Chico, in Southern Cali
fornia, the Department of Plant In
dustry at Washington, is conducting
experimental work on a scale that
may surprise many not familiar with
this kind of work going on by the
General Government in the interest of
the people of the whole country, but
probably the South and its climatic
conditions predominates from the fact
that the garden is in section of the
Golden State where the weather is
similar to that of our own.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-12-04
Agriculture in High Schools.


It is becoming very evident that if we
wish to keep up Our farming interests
we must educate the children to stay
on the farm. Of course, it will be a
difficult matter to get teachers that
are competent to teach agriculture
1t reminds us Of squlb which we
saw in an exchange, to the effect that
while it might be possible for teach
er who had never lived in the country
to teach agriculture, they could not
teach farming. Really this is a dis
tinction without a difference. We feel
confident that way will be found to
insure competent instruction in agrl
culture in country schools. But that
is not enough. We need educated
farmers, and the country schools can
not carry the course far enough.
There is need for higher education
in these branches, just as is given to
those who intend to enter business
life. To secure this, system Of agr1-
cultural high schools is greatly need
ed. We have agricultural colleges,
but they are SO expensive, even though
tuition is free, that few Of the farmer
Boys get any beneht from them. A
bill has been Introduced into Congress
to provide for such a system Of agri
cultural high schools. The plan pro-
poses that sum equal to 10 cents
per head Of the population be
given to each state for t h c
support OF the schools, which it is
planned shall be limited to one for
each ten counties. One of Our eXchan
ges has figured that Massachusetts
would have but one school and Texas
"a, and that the hrst-named state
would have about 100000 for her one
school, while Texas will get only
about the same amount for her tWen
ty-four This hardly seems equitable,
and we hope that if the bill becomes
law, it will be so amended as to
make it's provisions more impartial.
We approve Of the idea and should
be glad to see something of the kind
enacted into law.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-12-04
Forest or Farm.

The editor of the Times-Union
wrote an article entitled Exit the
Forest-Enter the Farm We do not
agree with all his conclusions. AS
fast as the land can be used for farm
ing purposes, it will be right that it
should be cleared. But we do not
like to see the forests cut away reck-
lessly. 1t is said by some to be a
fad to plan for timber planting. But
the capitalists of western Pennsyl-
vania, who are making their plans to
spend many thousands Of dollars (and
the sum may run into millions before
they get through) in retorestlng the
mountains of that state would not do
it unless they were fully convinced
that denuding those slopes had been
an injury to the country.
AS we said, we shall welcome the
extension Of the farms over much
more OF this state than is now occupl-
ed, but we should be very sorry to
see all the timber land cleared. In
furious insects will flourish wherever
crops are grown, but their natural
enemies, the BIRDS, need trees. On
prairies but few birds are found. If
the time ever comes when the forests
are all cut down, we hope that the
farmers will be wise enough to plant
numerous trees, for they are needed
as windbreaks as we'll as shelter for
the birds.
1t is true that substitutes for the
various uses Of wood may be found.
For many purposes cement is much
better than lumber, and other sub
stances may be used for fuel instead
Of wood, but nothing can take the
place of trees for shade or for shelter
for the birds. A country that is desti-
tute Of timber has it's advantages in
some respects, but if you have ever
travelled over treeless prairie you
know how refreshing to the eye the
sight Of a belt Of trees becomes.

gathered from every habitable part of
the world. Special agents in the far
East, especially, are constantly seek
ing new fruits, grains, grasses, etc.,
that are being, or are to be, tested
at Chico. Grasses, especially, are
being given particular attention. Who
would think that there are ffty-fve
varieties of alfalfa? Yet such is the
number now under propagation, and
it is sincerely to be hoped that some
one or two may be found we'll adapted
to Florida soil and climate. Of Glow
ers nearly one hundred varieties have
been obtained. There is also species
of mating grass, obtained in Japan,
now growing in the open field there,
specimens of which will be sent to
various parts of the country to be
tested as to adaptability to local con-
ditions. AS Texas and the Carolinas
are mentioned as special points to
which this grass is to be sent, it may
be assumed that it is expected to do
we'll in all the Gulf states.
Experiments with a certain kind Of
Para grass, obtained from Africa, are
going on, with view to it's introduc-
ton through overflow sections Of
California; and, by the way, if on the
Pacific, why not on the Gulf and
Atlantic Coast. where there are large
areas of overflow lands? This grass
is said to be raised in some foreign
countries in preference to alfalfa, as
being Of much harder growth and
fully as profitable. Ii it lacks the
"crumbling" defect of alfalfa hay i'll
the bale, it would surely come into
general favor.
While mentioning Africa, a few
words may be said regarding new
variety of pineapple introduced from
South Africa and now being tested
at the Subtropical Garden at Miami.
These plants probably first found their
way to Chico from the Ozark Con-
tinent." Mr.. w. E. Pabor has been
fortunate enough to secure a number
of "sucker," which he now has safely
domiciled in the sand hill country in
South Florida, and in a year Or SO
may be able to say something regard
ing it's qualities; but as to new varl-
eties likely to take the place Of the
two so we'll and favorably known as
the Red Spanish for open field cul-
ture and the smooth Cayenne for
shielded pineries there is serious
doubt.
A new "cherry" from China is pro-
missed fruit growers in a few years.
A single scion was sent to the Chico
garden by Explorer Frank Myers a
few years ago. Grated on another
cherry tree, it sent up healthy and
vigorous shoot and, when at fru1t1ng
age, was found to be an earlier bearer
than any variety grown IN California.
But it may not succeed in Florida,
which pins its faith only on the
Surinam in the cherry line.
In thinking over the work that has
been done by the Bureau Of Plant
Industry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, of which B. T.
