vOGUES IN CHIFFON WELLS.
Some Novelties Among the Many
Varieties Shown.

AS for the long chiffon wells, their
variety is infinite. They are seen in
every color, with light gray, London
smoke and champagne color leading
favorites. These wells are made up
and measure three yards long. One
very stylish veil in brown has a broad
hemstitched hem and above it a two
inch box plat hemstitched through
the middle
Some of the shorter chiffon wells
one and one-half yards long, are hem
stitched, and have large velvet dots
quite far apart. These dots are usual
ly OF contrasting color. as gray with
black velvet dots. tan with brown, and
blue or pink with black. A white
chiffon veil. with small white velvet
pin dots, is extremely popular
The most practical automobile veil
is square. IL is of chiffon cloth one
and one-half yards square, and
hemmed all around. 1t comes in every
color but the light tan, gray, lavender
and a warm red brown are specially
lovely. This veil is put entirely over
the hat, with the edges even all
around. and is pinned firmly at the
back OF the neck

with a broad border OF embroidered

mousseline veil that comes in many
.colOrs has a border OF shadow EN-.
broidery in a deeper tone of silk, with
small. self-colored silk dots.
Whether draped or worn over the
face, the veil will this season, as ever
before, be one OF the most important
accessories OF a woman's toilet.

The Mistake of His Life.

AS a sample of the good work Of the
Agriculturist we quote the following
from a correspondent:
"Will you kindly put me in communi-
cation with No. -, and accept my kind
wishes for your good work in installing
such valuable department in the Agri-
culturist? l am Floridian myself by
adoption, but since the great freeze L
gave up in despair and came North,
and now I am we'll satisfied that [ have
made the greatest mistake of my life,
but I am going to Florida again and
try it over Of course my former ex-
perience along lines which are in way
exclusively F1oridas, gives me conf
dence that success is mine in Florida,
and this ad. offers me an opening, The

peas and velvet beans, all of which can
be proftably grown, as we'll as sweet
potatoes. There are sections Of the
hatwoods pine which are superior for
berries and Irish potatoes, and large
crops of crabgrass for hay are saved
after the potatoes are dug.
Here intensive farming is the rule,
and those who are making the most
money grow three to four crops a
year in south central Florida. The
northern part Of Florida cannot grow
such rotations Of crops as does the
south and south central, except under
canvas and extra heat. In the north
ern part cucumbers and lettuce are
grown extra early by such means.
The pineapple can be grown almost
anywhere in south central Florida, but
it is grown commercially mostly on the
east coast and on the poorest lands in
the state by liberal use of fertilizers,
and vastly increased acreage is being
planted there from year to year.
Around Orlando and in De Soto cOun-
ties many fine pineries are producing
large crops. At many points, notably
at Quincy, Tallahassee and Dade City,
Havana and Sunatra leaf tobacco is
being grown successfully, and prices
are very high, averaging about 1000
pounds an acre grown under half shade
This has averaged about 65 cents a
pound this year. Some crops have
been sold and delivered in August at
over ST a pound, pole cured, unassorted
and in big bundles.
Many orange groves, grapefruit and
kumquats have been plarted since the
disastrous freeze Of 1896, and large
crops Of fruit have been and are being
gathered. Many acres of irrigated
groves this year will yield over $1,000
an acre for the fruit, as the general
crop was cut short one-ha1f and more
by the severe fall, winter and spring
drOuth, SO the orange blossoms failed
to set their fruit for want of moisture.
| know one man who for IS days put
barrel Of water around each tree
when it commenced blooming. The re-
suit is his trees are loaded with eight
boxes Of oranges to the tree, while his
nelghbors have only one to three boxes
On same aged trees.
To the stockman these lands are
very valuable as he can grow velvet
beans on them at scarcely more than
So an acre for seed and cultivation, and
they will yield feed equal to corn, and
the cattle gather them in winter. No
beef is sweeter than that fed on velvet
beans and none Of the food consumed
is for keeping up heat, but all goes to
profitable flesh making, as it does
North in September.

Facts About Florida Farming.

Z
A correspondent, of the Inland Farm
er, writing from South Florida, says:
[ came here from Kentucky ten
years ago to grow tobacco. made
that my specially and have succeeded
we'll. My son is now manager Of a
100000 tobacco plantation at a large
salary and has 20 per cent of the stock.
When we came we had but $500. Last
year and this also we sold over $1,000
worth of tobacco. My son, for the
seven months work as a tobacco grow
er, made over $1,000, the buyer Of his
tobacco advancing the means with
which to grow it at contract price Of
40 cents a pound for five years. He
was offered s. cents a pound for his
crop of $4,000 pounds this year could
he get released from his 4O-cent con-
tract. It is grown under half shade
Of course, we do not expect such a
high price likely to occur again shortly,
as both Cuba and Mexico are very
short on tobacco this year, but we do
expect frst-c1ass tobacco wrappers to
remain at 40 cents for many years.
Florida today has the smallest percent
age of land under cultivation of any
state in the Union, yet the productive
values of crops Of tobacco, celery
Irish and sweet potatoes, sugar cane
syrup, string beans, eggplant, oranges
and grapefruit per acre are not, as a
whole, equalled by any other section Of
the United States. Statistics show that
tie value per acre Of Florida products
grown under irrigation largely exceeds
those of any other state, and no state
I think can show as great ratio Of
increase in number of irrigation plants.
Nowhere in the United States that
[ have been have [ seen as magnifi-
cent growth of the peach. At I8
months from transplanting the June
budded trees [ have seen 90 trees Of
Jewel variety yield this year 3-4 bushe1
a tree and sell at home in early June
at $275 a bushel. [ have seen Peento
peach trees in the back yards Of old
settlers 10 years old still vigorous and
productive and trees from which $40 to
$34 a tree have been sold each year.
These, however, received the soapsuds,
waste and water and were manured by
the wood ashes from the stove and the
droppings from the chickens. Such
conditions could not we'll be made
general in an extensive orchard, but
| have known 4O-acre orchard OF
Jewel peaches which at four years old
yielded $4,000 worth Of fruit.
OF lands, the larger part is high
pine and flat pinewoods, perhaps seven
tenths, and then there is one-tenth OF
what we call hammock land. This is
where no pine grows, but oak, mag
nolia, hickory, dogwood, mulberry, wild
cherry and gum grape vines and wahoo.
This is Our choicest vegetable and to-
bacco land, and there are thousands of
acres of it to be had at S. to $50 an
acre, according to location, and yet
not farther than three to five miles
from railroad stations. The high pine

plums, oranges, grapefruit, kumquats

~ OLDFIELD has been in rather a precarious position this week, by reason

Atlanta, July l6.-In spite of the gen
eral belief that the House stands ready
to pass the state prohibition bill by an
overwhelming majority, there are still
those among the members of the House
who believe in the possibility of a
compromise.
Two propositions along this line will
be urged W hen the measure comes to an
issue in the House.
One of these will propose to postpone
enforcement of the law until Jan l,
1909, and the other to permit the sale OF
liquor in sealed packages in cities, but
with strict prohibition against its be-
ing shipped into any of the dry ooun-
ties of the state.
Whether there Is any hope from the
optionist standpoint along either line
remains to be seen.
"What is most needed now" said a
member of the House, lis leader.
There are one or two men in this House
who could well take the leadership in
the local option side and, perhaps, with
telling effect, but they do not seem in
