Big Crops in Florida.

Florida is not counted corn grow
ing state, yet corn crops are occa-
sionally grown which show that the
only reason that good crops are not
raised, is on account of careless prep
aration of the soil, poor seed, lack of
fertilizer, careless cultivation, etc. etc.
That is, it is proven that the soil and
climate are not to blame, but that it
is owing to poor farming. A CORE
spondent of the Southern Rualist tells
of his methods and their results as
follows:
| broke my cotton ground broad
cast the first of November. First Of
April I bedded it, bedding on 500
pounds of guano per acre, in the fur
row. made my rows E feet apart.
l planted right on the center of the
beds.
About two weeks after chopping
and drifting it, I put on 200 pounds of
guano per acre, 90 pounds on each
side of the row in the furrow [ made
after chopping.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-20

| did my blowing very shallow in
cultivating. When breaking up
plowed deep, Ito the rec" I gather
ed I6, 500 weight bales off of II acres.
On my corn ground I put all the
scrapings could get from barnyard,
COW lots, wood-pile, fence corners,
rotten logs and stumps, and rotten
leaves and straw from forest, about
$50 wagon loads in all, on 10 acres.
| broke it deep (I2 inches) the middle
of October and let it lie until March,
then l bedded my rows about 4 IL
feet apart I put 200 pounds of guano
in the water burrows, with the corn
4 feet apart in the drill. When corn
was large enough I put two burrows
to it. Second time, l put 100 pounds
of guano on each side of the row
per acre and covered with my second
two burrows. I laid it by when be-
tween waist and shoulder high.
When laid by I gave it two fur
rows, making 6 in all to make the
crop. I gathered 90 bushels of corn
per acre off of upland.
The young roots of the corn come
to the top of the earth, all over the
ground to drink in the riches Of the
air, light and rains that are good
for the plant life, and these roots
should not be broken if it is possible
to avoid it. Hence it is wise to keep
getting away from the main stalk
every time you plow it, and plow it as
shallow as possible.

The Gulf Stream.

lhe papers quite generally have
printed statements that since the
Jamaica earthquake the course of the
Gulf Stream had been considerably
changed and is now much nearer the
Florida coast than before. In order
to ascertain the truth of such state
ments we wrote to the photographic
office at New Orleans, and the follow
ing letter was received in reply, which
seems to show that editors, like those
that frequent bowling alleys, occa-
sionally set up the balls for another
fellow to knock down. At any rate
the Gulf Stream change theory seems
to be lost in the shuttle:
February 27th, 1907.
Mr.. w. E. Pabor, Avon Park, Fla
Dear Sir:-The reporter who is re-
sponsible for that article has given
me great deal of trouble. AS you
will see from the maps on the back
Of the February pilot chart which I
have forwarded to you in separate
cover there is no change whatever in
the movements of the Gulf Stream
along the Florida Coast nor are any
climatic changes probable from such
a cause. In certain seasons, the axis
Of the Stream changes while passing
the Florida Coast but the change is
immaterial as far as climatic condi-
tons are concerned. The discovery
which we have made is in the trac-
ing of the course of the Gulf Stream
in the Gulf of Mexico from the Yucca
tan channel to the straits of Florida,
and the charting Of the currents in the
Gulf of Mexico which have hitherto
been considered so vague as to be un-
worthy of notice.
Any other information which is at
hand, | will be happy to furnish you.
