Italians as Immigrants.

An article from the Louisiana
Planter shows that there are Italians
who are very different from the class
of 1aborers who are found on rail-
roads and other public works. These
might not be available as ordinary
farm hands, but as tenant farmers,
where they can be settled in colonies,
they seem to be desirable The ar
ticle is as follows:
The American Farmer, in recently
discussing the immigration question:
referred to Italians as immigrants and
especially to the Italians on the Austin
Corbin plantation at Sunnyside, Ar
kansas. On that plantation some
1900 acres Of land are under lease
and divided between ninety negro
families and an equal number of
Italians. Each family is leased as
much land as it can work and a rental
of 81 per acre is charged. An extra
tax of SIS is made for mule and a
small sum for tools. The Italians
make the best crops and pick their
cotton earlier than the negroes, and
SO much earlier that they are willing
to hire out to the latter and make
extra money. One Italian returning
to Italy recently, is said to have taken
$1,000 in cash with him, the earnings
Of his family on this plantation.
The Italians are extremely frugal
and can get more out Of the land and
at the same time build it up better
than any other agriculturist known in
Arkansas. Aside from their skill as
farmers, they are Industrious, thrifty
and generally temperate. AS truck
farmers they utilize every inch Of
ground, even cultivating the fence
corners and the banks Of streams.
They save every root for fuel and
know how to manage SO we'll that
they rarelv have to buy food Of any
kind. Their intensive style of farm
ing'is in strong contrast with the eX-
travagant system in use in the aver
age American farming community.

Improved Loquats.

When we came to Florida, the
Loquat was much more common in
cultivation than it is at the present
time. Probably y this is due to the
fact that the crop is quite uncertain
in many parts of the state, because it
blooms in the fall and the fruit is
very apt to be spoiled by severe
frCsts. Another reason, probably
has been that in the common variety,
the seeds are much too large in pro-
portion to the size of the fruit The
fruit is Of delicious flavor when it IS
thoroughly ripe, the first that we ever
ate, were only partly ripe and were
as sour as crabapple, but later when
we had some which we're really ripe,
we became quite fond Of them.
The Rural Californian recommends
some improved varieties as follows:
Hardy in all parts of California, the
loquat should be more extensively
grown, for no fruit we have has been
so much improved of late
Those who know only the Seeding
type have but faint idea of the great
superiority of the Advance, Premier,
Victor, and other we'll known STAN
ard sorts.
of these the Victor is the largest,
is red checked, with deep-colored
flesh; the Advance has a pure white
flesh and a clear yellow skin; the
Premier is the best of all in flavor,
but smaller in size All are vastly
superior to the best type Of seedlings.
1t is rather wonder that the value
of the 1oquat as a decorative tree has
not been more generally recognized;
surely when both it's fruit and orna-
mental values are considered, no small
tree we have can compare with it.
For a tree to plant in the front ward.
where the owner begrudges the space
for one purely ornamental, we urge
the use of the latest and best varieties
of budded loquats in named sorts

Asparagus in Florida.

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker asks about growing asparagus
in Florida. The editor answers wisely
So far as he knows about the state.
We still believe that it could be proflt-
ablv grown in this state. But do not
try to set out anything older than two
years plants, one year old plants are
still better The Rural article is as
fo1lows
R. H. W., Sanford, Fla.-If four
year-old asparagus plants are set IN
spring, can they by any method OF
forcing be made to yield a crop TIT
for market Immediately y after they be-
gin to grow? From we'll established
plants, what is the duration of the
cutting season? How early is it de-
sirable to put asparagus in the New
York market to obtain top prices?
What paper is published exclusively
(if any, in the truck growers inter
est?
Ans.-T know Of no method by
which asparagus can be forced tor
immediate cutting, without allowing
the roots to become established. AS
Daragus crowns are in many respects
like bulbs. 1t should have a certain
length Of time to make root growth
before any demand is made on the
product, otherwise immediate exhaus-
tion would be the result. While [
have never seen it tried, I am of the
opinion that it would be difficult
undertaking to move or set fouryear
old crowns, for at that age they
should be very large and almost at
their best in point Of yield. Two
vear-o1d crowns set closely together
in the rows would perhaps give bet
ter returns a few years hence than the
large ones The duration for cutting
asparagus is usually from six to eight
weeks, after which the crown should
have period of rest. It shOuld be
the object of asparagus growers to
have it ready for the New York
market as early as possible after
January, beginning south Of course as
far as the trucking limits extend.
gradually working north until the end
Of the asparagus season, which is
usually about July IS. The methods
Of cultivation are practically the same
in every locality, and the earliest
"grass' usually sells for the highest
price. I know of no publication de-
voted exclusively to the market

The Florida agriculturist., 1907-07-03

[ discovered that there were many
poor, small guavas not much larger
than a walnut, containing a solid
mass Of seed covered with a very
thin skin, and so I decided to take
great precaution in selecting my
stock, and accordingly procured only
the best fruits for seed.
| also learned that they were liable
to sport, and knowing this, I natural
ly concluded that they were liable to
produce poor fruit, so to overcome
having poor fruit in my grove, I set
three or four seedlings in each hill,
and when they came into fruit took
out the poorest, thus giving me a
chance to have only good fruit in the
grove.
A few years ago I found one fruit,
among some others that [ procured
from a neighbor, that was perfectly
round and had only twenty seeds in
it. These I planted and raised seven
bushes and not one is like the sample
One IN particular produces very large,
long, coarse fruit, full of seeds, and
while it is a very nice guava it is
nothing like the sample.
I have never tried to propagate the
guava from cuttings, and [ think that
budding Or grating would not be ad-
visable as the roots are very likely to
send up suckers, and while SO far as
have seen the plant trained into a
single stem bears larger fruit it is not
as prolific as when allowed to make
a cluster of trees.
Any special tree may be propagated
from by cutting the roots which will
then send up sprouts that may be
transplanted the next season and soon
make a good bearing bush.
Last spring I received from the
Department of Agriculture three new
guavas, two Of them from Brazil,
and while these are supposed to be
true to the original, they show evi-
dence Of sporting by variation in
the foliage. I also received one plant
that is a native of Argentine, and I
am looking forward with great antici-
patton to the time when [ will sample
these new fruits
I had intended writing about other
varieties of the guava family, but as
this article is already quite lengthy I
will defer until another time.

clare that bundle of letters was re-
covered and are being photographed
for presentation before the superior
court, which has the divorce case be-
fore it on appeal. for the purpose Of
reopening the case.
Friends of Mrs. Hartje are mystified
because of the search made today of

Harry Harrison, who

declares that he has q fol-

great disgust at the manner

Cornelius brands as false the state

called q meeting to organize and that
1s members Of the union responded and
repudiated the movement
The fact that some members Of the
union did go TO Harrison's home a
week ago led to a stormy scene last
Tuesday night at the regular meeting
Of the carmen's union IN Labor temple.
A report was submitted by one OF the
pickets who had learned OF the meet

tended were read Three Of them were
present at the Tuesday night meeting
and they were roughly handled before
they got out of the hall President
Cornelius said last night that the mems
