Olives in Manatee County.
Editor aAgriculturist:


Answering your inquiry about
growing olives in Florida will give
you a little of my experience with
them on my sand hill. I have four
large trees, one of them about twenty
five feet high, and they have been
bearing every year for six or seven
years, but in very wet seasons they
do not mature their fruit If it is
very wet in June or July the fruit will
drop off the trees before they put
on their purple coat. Where they are
planted they get rather more than
their share of moisture, as my land
slopes toward the river and they get
a good deal of the moisture that falls
on the higher land, for they are plant
ed in the lower row. In dryer years
l have some fruit in November. |
also have four other, smaller trees,
but they are not bearing yet.
But you may ask me whether it
pays to grow them. Well, it does pay,
for they are an object of beauty, and
if any of your readers would see
them in bloom in the spring they
would say so too.
The olive is one of the oldest fruits
we have, as it comes from the other
side of the food, and if we used it in
our cooking instead of the vile pro-
duct of the hog we would be better
and healthier people

Olives.

About 1890 I planted dozen olive
trees, but the freeze of 1895 took
them all to the ground and one Of
them clean to China The other eleven
are fine, thrifty trees, with bloom on
two last year, but no fruit. Hope
may get fruit this year. If we do you
need not expect my wife to speak to
common folks when she gets all the
olives she can use. Have given about
5 pounds Simon Pure, I pound per

wet IdIlQ Ii the StanQ1ng water IN
the soil is nearer than three or four
feet below the surface, it is not safe
to SOW alfalfa But such soil is just
suited to alsike or Swedish clover.
So far common red clover has not
been sufficiently successful in Florida
to be recommended. We still hope
that way may be found to grow it
prohtably In the meantime we re-
commend experiments with a1sike.
The Farmers Home Journal has
asked it's readers for reports about
alsike. In the last number two read
ers report; number one says:
You ask that some Kentucky reader
give his experience with Alsike clover.
Some sixteen years ago the writer
became interested in Alsike and Sc
cured two bushels of seed and sowed
them. 1t was claimed that it would
thrive on low or rather wet lands,
and it does, but other than that it is
not so good as red clover. The seed
is in the first crop; it is much finer
in growth, that is, the stalk is very
much smaller than the stalk of red
clover. 1t will not yield as much,
and the second crop is ordinarily very
light. The blossom is a light pink,
and looks very much like white clo-
yer Except that it will grow better
on low land than red clover, it will
not grow where that will not. I
suspect that your readers think it will
it will not.
Number two says:
Some of your readers wanted to
know about Alsike. l will give my
experience with it. It is best adapted
to low wet land, but will grow any
place red clover will. 1t is the ideal
clover to sow in bitches where you
have land drained, as it will grow
right in standing water.
| never SOW earlier than April 5tl,
as frost will kill it. Sow with wheat,
rye, oats Or alone. Sow from ten to
twelve pounds of seed per acre It
grows like red clover, only it has a
finer straw and almost a white bios
som. 1t makes from one to two tons
per acre, and makes better feed than
red clover or alfalfa Some of nv
neighbors think it is equally as good
as timothy for horse; there is nothing
better for cattle or sheep and it makes
a good pasture for hogs.
1t ripens a little earlier than red
clover and is just as good to ferti1ize
land 1t can be harvested twice a
year, but [ do not harvest but once;
leaving the last crop for the benefit
Of the land. If more people knew the
value of it, I feel sure there would
be more Of it grown l. have been
growing it for four years. I find it
more hardy than red clover; it stands

The Gypsies Of Hungary.

Hungary is the home OF the
Tziganes in so far as they have any
home. In all other European coun-
tries they were persecuted for CEN
turies, but in the fifteenth century
the Hungarians took pity on them.
There are about 100000 Tziganes
in Hungary, and, with few e1cep-
tions, they are musicians. The typ
ical Tsiganes may best be seen near
the Croatian frontier in the district
of Nagy-Karped. Their camps are
always set up at some distance from
the town or village and if possible
near a forest. Their huts have but
one room and are devoid of furni-
ture. Tziganes take their meals
and sleep on the bare boards. Many
unsuccessful attempts have been
made to restrain the Tziganes. The
Emperor Joseph II. once allotted
land and ordered them to cultivate
their acres. They turned their
houses into stables, set up tents
near by for their own use, and to
prevent the corn given them for
seed from sprouting they boiled it.

put the bucket down hurriedly and,
selecting a handy tree, made for it
with the intention of shining up
to a nice strong limb, prepared to
stand siege. Along came the bear,
head down. 1t passed the half fill
ed berry bucket without seeing it,
passed the tree without taking no.

found that in reality he was sitting
on the ground with his arms and
legs wrapped around the tree trunk.

last she paused with a smile of sat-

book, till the sound came again.
When it was repeated an express

lures, but still she was hopeful.
