Plenty of Rorax and Soda.

Near Ashcroft. in British Columbia,
are a number of small lakes, whose
shores and bottoms are covered with
a crust containing borax and soda In
such quantities and proportions that
whom cut out it serves as a washing
compound. The crust is cut into
blocks and handled in the same man
ner as ice, and 1t is estimated that
one of the lakes contains 10000 tons

Modern Methods Of Planting Citrus
Trees.
By N. O. Penny.

freezes is one reason for planting close.
Another is, they will better protect
themselves from damage to fruit as
we'll as to the trees by high or heavy
Winds Also we are enabled to get
better fruit on these closely planted
trees by not having them exposed SO
much to the sun, as we'll as the wind,
where the trees are thick. Now, sum-
ming all up, the trees are much better
enabled to withstand the ravages of
all the elements, they will bear just as
we'll, bring finer fruit, grow lower to
the ground, cost less to gather the
fruit, take less cultivation, and for the
first ten years bear twice as much fruit
as if they we're planted twice as far
apart in the rows, as is common prac-
tice, hence, be twice as profitable for
the first ten years. If at the end Of
that time it should be decided that they
are too thick to be profitable, every
other tree can be transplanted into a
new grove, and if we'll and carefully
and bring nearly half as large a crop
as it did on it's old stand
A good many years ago [ had my at
tention first called to this matter of
close setting trees Near where [ lived
were several small groves, and in each
of those I have in mind, was small
body of trees that had been budded on
their natural roots and never were
moved, and these trees were very
thick, standing very close to one an
other I have watched them year after
year, and they never failed to bear
good crops. No matter what the sur-
rounding grove did, they did their
duty, and not only so, but the fruit
was a larger per cent fancy and not as
subject to rust.
On the grove I now have, a portion
is set close and it far .outstrips that
which is set the usual distance. All
the groves that [ set are planted as
above described, and there is no ques-
ton that as the prejudice against it is
overcome it will be the modern method
of planting.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-11-20


year is now approaching for the setting
out of orange and grapefruit trees, and
a few words at this time will, [ think,
not be amiss, and may possibly be of
service to some that have in mind the
setting of young trees or groves.
In a former article I had something
to say in regard to size Of trees, now [
will confne myself to other details.
We will now assume that we have
piece of hatwoOds pine land that is Of
good quality, that we have it we'll
drained with bitches Of sufficient size
to carry off the surplus water quickly;
that we also have this land p1owed into
beds, say rs feet from center to center,
and the ground nicely shaped or grad
ed down to the water burrows, SO that
we can run the point of a moving
machine right down to the bottom;
that the bottom of these burrows is
about eighteen inches below the top Of
the beds; that this ground has been in
cultivation to some crop for one or two
years; that it has had sufficient time
since being plowed last for the soil to
knit we'll together (this is important
in setting trees), and that this land is
capable Of growing good crop of grass
without further fertilization We then
assume that body of timber is on the
west or north side, at no great dis
tance, that it is likely to remain for
some time, or, better still, that we own
it and thus assure its permanency Hav-
ing all these things we have an ideal
place and condition Of ground and To-
cation if not too far north.
Now to setting these trees, we will
take into consideration the most impor-
tant of all things, the distance apart
they should be set. Some will say
thirty feet, others twenty, and still
others different distances, from fifteen
to forty. have already said we had
our land p1Owed into beds of twenty
five feet should prefer to have these
run north and south if possible, but if
not it don't make great deal of differ
ence If they run east and west. This
indicates that the trees are to be set
twenty-five feet one way, this puts the
rows sufficiently wide apart that we
can use a moving machine convenient
ly, and no grove Of any size should be
managed without one Now having
Our rows twenty-five feet apart, we will
set our trees about twelve feet apart
in the rows. I know there will be lots
Of dissenters from this in the old
school of orange growing, and accord
ingly I will go into detail as to why
they should be set close. First no one
will dispute the fact that there is no
place in this great state of ours that is
free or exempt from severe cold. I
think the supreme architect of the uni
verse has demonstrated this pretty
thoroughly in the last few years. Also
it is a we'll known fact that an orange
grove like body of timber, will retain
it's own heat, and the thicker the tim
Der or trees, the better it will do this,
therefore to better protect them from

CLEAN CULTURE.

you wills have to excuse me, especially
regarding what [ know about picking

of fertilizing and cultivating Our
groves. This is a Swedish settlement,
with about dozen hve-acre groves.
Different brands of fertilizer are used
by the growers and the applications in
time and quantity differ ALSO All of
the growers practice complete clean
culture Some of the groves have not
had a pound per tree, of vegetation
p1owed under for five years, and the
result is good crops of fine fruit and

made three applications in my
grove last season of II pounds each
time of brand that analysed 5-I5-8,
first in December, then in May and
August I believe in applying the fer
t11izer about two months before the
trees start a new growth. [ finished cul-
tivation for the season the last days Of
October. I will not fertilize till jan
uary, because I will. not find the time,
will be busy shipping oranges till
Christmas. I think clean culture was
the only practical thing this last dry
season. The year before was very wet
and I let the grass grow till there
was some to plow under.
I will give a comparison of the prac-
tical clean culture and the theoretical
grass and weed growing culture be-
gan, after the freeze, to work a grove
of 500 trees on the theorist line-clean
culture-till the rainy season set in,
about July Ist, then let the beggar
and other weeds grow all that they
would. The grove had plenty of ferti1-
izer to make good bearing trees with
clean culture, but not half enough to
grow weeds and trees half of the grow
ing season, at the same time See the
result! My $50 trees have had good
crops several years, under the clean
culture plan.
Those 500 trees under the theorist
plan, have had only very few boxes.
My trees had, three years ago, 1000
boxes; two years ago, 500 boxes; last
year, 1900, and will have this season,
300.
The trees suffered from last sum-
mer's drouth so that the crop is about
half of the last crop. Now the 500
trees, under the weed growing plan
had, three years ago, $50 boxes; two
years ago, $50 boxes; last year, 184
boxes; this years crop, rs boxes.
The land is medium grade pine1and

Orange County Sugar Cane.

Orange county is the banner county
for raising everything, and there seems
to be no limit to the diversity of
crops. This morning Dr. w. C. Per-
sons came in from trip to the
southeastern portion of the county
and in his hand carried what at first
glance seemed to be two trees from
the woods. Upon closer inspection
they resolved themselves in stalks of
sugar cane over eight feet high, and
Of the best quality. The doctor stated
that the cane was raised upon the farm

pected to have all of 1000 gallons

diversity. Cane is good staple crop

there is nothing to compare with good

ROSELLE.
The "Cranberry'' of South Florida.

The CRANBERRY OF South FIor1da.
If a rose by any other name will
smell as sweet, then Roselle by its
common name with us, Jamaica Sor-
re11, will taste as good and remind us
by it's tart excellence of the cranberry
of the North.
I do not know why the latter name
was given to it. I became acquainted
with it fifteen years ago, aid it was
then known by that name. But the
true sorre1, is not fruit andsdoes not
grow on a bush, but is a running vine,
whose leaves are used as a spinach.
So let us all get accustomed to using
the right name, and call it Rose1le,
for it's blossom, save in color, resembles
that of the wild rose. A careful
study of the plant has been made by
Mr.. P. J. Wester, special agent of the
Sub-Tropical Laboratory and Garden,
at Manu. and the U. S. Agricultural
Department at Washington, has issued
it as a Farmers Bulletin, No. 3o7,

any reader of the Florida Agricu1turist;

ton, D. c.
Rosel1e will only grow successfully
in the extreme southern portions of
Florida and California. Of course, in
the tropical islands of the United
States and in the canal zone the con-
ditions of culture are far more favor
able, as the season of growth is longer
Through the northern half of Florida
it is doubtful if the season is long
enough to mature the fruit; even in
lower Polk county and northern De-
Soto, it is not always certain crop, as
the writer knows from his own ex-
perience. This year the blossoms did
not appear until the last week in Oc-
tober and it takes a month or six
weeks to perfect the fruit; longer still,
as it is an annual, to mature the seed
for next years planting.
Mr. Wester, in his Introductory re-
marks, thinks the plant is of recent
origin, as it is not named by De Can
| dole, in his book, published in 1885,
on the "Origin of Cultivated Plants"

BARRYMORE Is Ill.
Greatly Excited by References to Him
by Mrs Thaw.

BOSTON, February 11.-Ethel Barrymore
yesterday denounced as malicious lies the
published statements that her brother, Johr
Barrymore, subpoenaed as witness in the
Thaw trial. had been attempting to hide
from Mr.. Jerome's detectives and keep out
of New York state until the close of the
trial.
She also declared that the testimony
given by Mrs. Thaw on the witness stand
last Friday, referring to insanity in the
Barrymore family, had so worked on her
brothers mind that he is in a-serious con-
dition of nervous breakdown.
While In Boston, she explained, her
brother was stricken with a chill and, be-
coming very i'll. was placed in DIR. Brooks
private sanitarium on Bay State road.
When the Friday evening newspapers an
nounced that Barrymore had been charac-
terized by Mrs. Holman as "a little pup, -
who was sure to be in the insane asylum
within year." the young actor left the
sanitarium. Miss Barrymore learned later
that he had gone to Rockland, Me-, and
thence to Poland Springs.
Late last night" she said, "he called
me on the phone, and his voice sounded Sc
strange and he was evidently SO excited
that was sure he was in very bad shape.
This morning l have heard that he Is on
the verge of complete nervous break
down, and l shall hurry to him if his con-
dition is not improved by night"
