Room For the Best.

We saw in an exchange, an article
about eliminating competition. There
is only one way in which this can be
accomplished. That is by producing
something which is SO much better
than anything else of the kind in
market that it will be in demand at
an advanced price. 1t is done every
day, in all branches of agriculture.
There are diaries, whose butter is sold
at one dollar or more per pound every
week, the year through, regardless OF
the market price for the common
stock There are groves in this state
whose oranges net the owner more per
box, after all expenses are paid, than
the average market price Of oranges.
There are poultry yards whose eggs
are in demand at nearly double the
market price, we do not mean high
priced pure bred eggs for Matching,
but eggs sold solely for domestic use.
AS some eminent statesman once said,
"There is room at the top" What
ever you produce, make it the best
possible and you will have no diff
Guilty in disposing of it at something
above the usual price. 1t pays to take
pains to make your vegetables or fruit
look we'll, before shipping, looks go a
long way in the market.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-09-18

the tops die down, do not disturb
them until you want the bed to grow
up again. Then NOV off the tops,
clean off the mulch and begin cultivat
ing. We should be very glad to have
some one test this method thoroughly,
and report the result. We should not
be satisfied with one years trial, but
would try again, there are so many
circumstances which might cause the
first one to end disasterously that we
should, if at first we don't succeed,
try, try again.
AS to buying the plants, we should
not hesitate to buy from any reputable
scotsman the large seed houses at the
North all offer the plants.
AS to using commercial fertilizer,
if we had plenty of we'll rotted stable
manure, we should not use any at
first, but later if the growth of the
stalks was not satisfactory, we should
trv the stimulating effect of nitrate
of soda.
We think that almost any crop
would prove more profitable if irri-
gated, but asparagus is not so abso-
lutely dependent on an abundant
water supply as celery. We have no
doubt that it can be grown, if at all,
on soil which will grow other vegeta-
b1es without irrigation.-Ed.)

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. Is, 1907.
New Orange Boxes.

Elsewhere you will find, this week,
an item from the Dever Field and
Farm in regard to a new box for
packing oranges, apples, etc. Since
that was prepared for the paper, we
have found, in the Fruit Trade Jour
nal, an account of this box and the
company which is introducing it to the
Trade. The ends have a frame of
wood, the rest being made from wood
paper pulp. The sides and ends are
perforated to give ventilation The
box is much stronger than the old one
of wood, and being made waterproof
will be much better in several ways.
1t is also from two to three pounds
lighter, which ought to lower the
freight rate.
The factory has at present a ca
pacity of 5000 boxes per day, but is
to be enlarged soon to 10000 per day.
The scarcity of material is causing
an advance in the cost of wooden
orange boxes, the manufacturers claim
that they can furnish the improved
box at lower price than is asked for
wood.

A Correction.

Elsewhere you will find, this week,
a note from Rev. J. H. White making
some corrections in regard to his ar
ticle printed in the Agriculturist of
August 28. You all know the per-
versity of types, probably it will never
be known how the mistakes were
made We noticed, as soon as the
paper came to hand, that his article
had been cut in two, but did not notice
the other error We certainly regret
it, but if you will take the present
note and look up the article in the
paper of August 28, you can get the
matter straight

Celery in Louisiana.

A dispatch from New Orleans to
the Fruit Trade Journal announces
that prominent celery grower, of
Kalamazoo, Mich, has given orders
for the building of several houses on
a tract of land in Louisiana.
The land is reclaimed swamp, and
is believed by the owners to be suited
to celery, in fact that both soil and
climate are ideal for the purpose
They propose to have a colony of ten
families at work on the plantation this
fall and it's growth will depend upon
the adaptability of the soil to the
growth of celery.

Labor Troubles in Mexico.
Fruitland Park.

From all parts of this country the
crv is, give us more laborers. From
an article in the Louisiana Planter,
it seems that we are not the only
ones who need laborers. Mexico has
troubles of her own. The Planter
says:
While Mexico has been held up as
the paradise of cheap labor, the recent
experiences of those engaged IN de-
veloping sugar planting and railroad
interests in Mexico have been quite
unsatisfactory, so far as the labor sup
Div is concerned This led to large
importations of Japanese who ap-
parently only came into Mexico for
the purpose of crossing the border
and getting into the United States. In
fact, all of the Mexican laborers with
in easy range seem to have crossed
the border and got over into the land
Of the free, helping to build American
railroads, irrigation canals and all
such work at American prices, in pref
erence to what they could get in Mex
leo.
All this seems now to have led to
certain legislation in Mexico prevent
ing the transportation of men, even
from one Mexican state to another
The last issue of the Tampico Post
refers to the matter and states that
the contractors for the short line rail-
road at that place were finding it ex-
tremely difficult to get an adequate la
Dor supply, because they can't cross
over into the next state, San Luis
Potosi, where the laborers, they say,
get but rs cents per day, while they
could get SIPS working on the rail
road in Tampico. The Potosi labor
ers, however, are too poor to pay their
own transportation to Tampico and
the law doesn't allow any one to go
over and take them away and pay
their fare to another state. 1t would
seem that the immediate cause of this
law was the desire to protect the
planters from the railroad contractors,
the latter hiring all the plantation
hands in order to expedite the COM
pletion of their contracts, leaving the
plantations with insufficient labor to
carry on the work.

can grow a crop while they cannot
do anything on their Michigan lands.
This being the case, we do not see
why they have not turned their eyes
toward this state. The shipments
from Florida have been large enough
to show that the business has long
since passed the experimental stage.

paper, and read1ng your culLOIldl OH
Asparagus Culture for Florida, [ write
to ask you for some information.
I have some land, light sandy soil,
which is too high and dry for celery,
and would like to try small patch
of asparagus. Would it be too great
risk to undertake its culture without
irrigation? What time to plant? A
reliable house from which to order
plants?
The land is rich in humus and [
have a sufficient supply of stable ma
nure, would l need commercial fertil-
izer in addition?
Any Information would be greatly
appreciated xxx.
(In this weeks paper will be found
letter, from a correspondent, in
which the opinion is expressed that
asparagus cannot be successfully
grown in this state on account of the
warm winters Possibly he is correct,
but we still believe that it will yet be
prohtably cultivated in Florida. Per-
haps not in South Florida, but at least
in the northern part of the state.
But in face of all the adverse opln
ions published, we should not advise
an experiment on a large scale. A few
square rods will demonstrate the pos
sibilities of the soil as we'll as an acre.
In preparing the soil we should use
as much rotted stable manure as pos
sible That means three or four times
as much as you ever saw put on the
same space, remember that you cam
not make the soil too rich for aspara
gus. But you must not put on lot
Of only half rotted stable manure
and expect good results from it. 1t
must be thoroughly rotted, and then it
must be put down much deeper in the
soil than is usual. We should want
the land plowed not less than six or
eight inches deep, ten or twelve would
be still better, and the manure should
be spread evenly over the surface and
as each furrow is plowed some one
should follow the plow and rake all
the manure from the next slice into
the furrow already made, thus cover
ing the manure as deeply as possible.
| This may seem to be lot of unneces-
sary work but we followed this meth
cd in preparing land for vegetable
crops at the North, which would only
occupy the soil one year, while an
asparagus bed we'll made will last for
years If you can have jointer plow,
that is a small pillow on the beam
which will turn a small furrow into
the furrow of the large plow, it will
save much of this hand labor.
The plants should be, by all means,
set in the fall. Set nothing but we'll
grown one-year-old plants, we should
prefer One-year-old plants to two
year-Old ones, even if the latter were
offered at the same price. When setting
be sure that the crowns are not less
than three to four inches below the
surface 1t would be we'll to mulch
the surface Of the bed, to prevent its
becoming too much packed by the
winter rains. In the spring keep the
| bed we'll cultivated until the tops are
we'll grown, then another mulch. If
