SOWING ALFALFA.

Mr.. Coburn, in his book on Alfalfa,
states that quantities all the way from
six to sixty pounds per acre are
recommended. He calculates that ii
fifteen pounds be used, and all the
seed germinate, it would give us forty
four plants to the square foot. This, Of
course, would be altogether too many
plants AS we would not expect every
seed to make plant, it will probably
be best to SOW the seed fairly thickly.
How to Sow.-The most usual way
of sowing alfalfa is to sow it broad
cast. For experimental work it would
probably be better to sow it in drills,
especially if one were sowing only a
fraction of an acre. With drills it is
a great deal easier to keep down
weeds that might come up to choke
out the seedlings. Ordinarily there is
very little trouble from this source,
however, and it will be found that
broadcast sowing does fairly WE'LL
Time to Sow-The best time to SOW
alfalfa in Florida is during the fall of
the year. Just what time in the fall
is best will depend upon climatic con-
ditions. If the soil is moist, and the
time during October and the early
part of November will be proper
This will give the plants sufficient
time to make a considerable root
growth before the winter arrives.
During the winter the young plants
will make only a small top growth, but
the roots will penetrate more deeply
into the soil and produce a good sys-
tenn before spring. When the early
rains begin it will be necessary TO re-
move any large weeds or grass COM
ing up in the field, either by moving
them off, or by having them hoed out.
Under favorable conditions, two or
three tons of hay may be made from
an acre. This hay, when we'll cured,
is worth at least $50 ton. Consider
ing the value of alfalfa hay, it will pay
to sow fresh seed every year, even if
the plants should all die out the
second fall, as has been the case.

half ounces Of permanganate to pint
of formaline. Time of exposure, four
hours.
In the mater of markets, Mr.. Hig
gins seems to recognize the tact that
Florida is a competitor for the PACING
Coast trade and | cannot conclude this
article in better way than by quoting
one paragraph given under the head
ing of market conditions. "The study
Of the markets from Fresno, California,
to Vancouver, B. c., reveals the unm1s-
taxable fact that there is an exceedingly
inefficient distribution Of p1neapple>.
1t was found that even some whole
sale fruit houses were quite unacquaint-
ed with the pineapple and unfamiliar
with the methods Of using it for food.
In one case it was asked whether it was
necessary to cook pineapples before eat
ing them. There is no permanent and
reliable supply Of pineapples in the
large markets throughout Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia, dur
ing the season. The fruits come in
spasmodically and the consumer or
even the retail dealer never knows
when they are available. This is also
true, only to less degree, in Califor-
MIA. These markets are supplied with
fruits in this Indifferent way from
Florida and Hawaii. The fruits from
Florida come by rail and are packed in
crates of smaller size than the standard
large sized Hawaiian crate. The pine
apples are much smaller than the
Hawaiian fruit and are less juicy and
therefore less subject to decay. They
range from two and half to four
pounds. The Hawaiian fruit ranges
from four to nine pounds, has abun-
dant juice and is more subject to de-
cay. The Florida fruits have been in
the market for a long time and the
customers have become accustomed to
buying by the price (single?) or by the
dozen at prices which would be quite
low for the much larger sized Hawaiian
fruit"
Taken altogether this Bulletin is
valuable addition to Our pineapple
literature, and should be issued as
Farmers Bulletin for free distribution.

REPORTS OF SUCCESS.

Repeated reports of complete sue
cess with alfalfa have been seen in the
various papers OF the State Officers
Of the Experiment Station have made
it point to investigate all of these
carefully. In some cases it was found
that these reports were circulated be-
fore the alfalfa field was one year old.
Success up to this point is no unusual
occurrence
Other reports of success have been
investigated and were found to be
based on erroneous identification.
Frequently people have mistaken
sweet clover (Melilotus) for alfalfa.
This crop, of course, can be grown,
and the plant occurs in many portions
Of the State as weed. 1t is, however,
very much inferior to alfalfa for
forage, and also as a soil-renovator.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-23
KIND OF LAND TO USE.

Alfalfa should be planted upon land
that is rated at least as frst-class
farming land The field should be
prepared as thoroughly as would be
the case for either grain or corn.
The land should have perfect drain
age, but should not be Of loose,
sandy character. Alfalfa planted on
sandy land under1aid with clay has
been most nearly successful.
Still an riment.-Hundreds of
attempts have been made to secure
a good stand of alfalfa, and to make
the field productive. In number Of
cases the experiment has been so
nearly successful that people have de-
clared that they had reached the sue
cessful point. Up to the present, how
ever, no field of alfalfa has yet Sue
ceeded in growing through the second
winter and producing a crop of hay
during the ensuing year. Numerous
plots have been sown and have pro-
duced an abundant crop of fine alfalfa
hay, but these plots failed completely
either during the late fall or early
winter; so that we can say that the
experiment has reached the point
where it has been almost successful,
and yet not quite. Good fields of al
falfa have been produced near Dade
City, Leesburg, Monticello, and De
Funiak. Probably the most nearly

The fact that Florida needs winter
forage plant is so we'll known to every
one who has attempted to keep live
stock here, that no arguments in this
line need be produced. We have an
abundance of summer and fall forage,
which stock may secure either by
grazing or by having it fed to them.
The one thing we lack, however, is
green forage or pasture crop for the
winter. Rye and oats have been used
for any years, but are expensive and

Mr.. C. K. McQuarrie at De Funiak.
From this field Mr.. McQuarrie secur-

tons to the acre.

SOIL NEGOTIATIONS.

For time it was thought that in
oculating the soil with the nitrogen
fixing organisms would overcome the
difficulty of alfalfa failures. A great
many experiments have been made
with the commercial cultures, with
cultures from the Department of
Agriculture, and with soil taken from
alfalfa fields. Most of the expert
ments with cultures have proven COM
plete failures, and where they have
been successful they have given results
inferior to those obtained by the use
of soil from alfalfa fields.
The soap trees are yielding heavy
crop this year. The press for some
time past has been silent about the
virtues of this tree, but DR.. Moule says
it is destined to cut a very important
figure in the industrial development of
the state. Besides making soap, the
berries yield an oil superior to olive
oil. The soap tree will be heard from.
