The Peacherine.

The American Nut Journal copies an
item from the Herald of Lodi, Cali

many wonderful things have been &C
complished in crossing various FRUITS,
but the statements of this item seem
to us utterly increditable. We should
be glad to hear from any reader who
has any knowledge of any similar ex-
periments and results.
J. w. Philippi, who lives in Acampo,
has, through years of experimenting,
obtained THE result for which he has
striven He has produced fruit which
he calls the ''Peaoherin'e," obtained by
crossing the nectarine and peach.
The peacherine is large, juicy fruit

and this latter was secured in a novel
way. When the tree was in the pro-

condition to be easily influenced by
surrounding colors, and thus it came

Irrigation in a Humid State.

1t takes long time for a new idea
to get a lOdgnent in farmers minds
No class Of American citizens are so
set in their ways, $50 hard ito induce
to try a new method different from
that which they have always used. But
the Unusual dro11th of the past few
months has opened the eyes of many
TO the need of irri CATION even in this
state, A California paper, The Citro-
graph, has found an item in Florida
paper, and copies it with comments
For many years those who have lived
in a l111r1id state-orle which had forty
to sixty inches of rainfall-laughed and
jibed at the poor fellows who were
compelled Ito irrigate to keep from
starving. When the National Irriga-
tion Congress, at one of it's meetings,
swung out the banner, Irrigation is
howl of derision heard all over the
east and the south. And they con-
tinued to pity the poor devils that had
to 1rrlgate.
However, the irrigation propaganda
was spread all over the land by news
paper and magazine articles, telling of
the vast benefits ito be derived from
irrigation. How it was a complete
and absolute insurance against drouth.
Still the people did not believe what
they were told. But the persistency
of the educational propaganda began
to set some who had more brains
and more energy than THE ordinary
run to thinking and investigating.

Is 1t Worth While to Fool
With Alfalfa in Florida !?

THE six cuttings was AIT the rate OF
a little over six toms per acre. A
great many people saw the crop grow
ing, and the most of them expressed
their satisfaction AIT results.
Prof. S. M. Tracy, of Washington,
D. c., inspected it on behalf OF the
Department of Agriculture, and pro-
nounced it quite a success, making
the remark, that ''this adds ONE more
crop Ito Florida's already numerous
Ones"
Our county (WaltohD exhibited a
bale of it ait tine Tampa Fair, and |
was informed, it was the only alfalfa
bale there. Butt THAT is NO reason why
other counties should mot exhibit al
falfa at future fairs; because what Wal
ITO County can produce, THE most ot
THE other counties can also, if they
only TRY along THE right lines. There
is NO doubt in my mind but what al
falfa can be grown in every county
i'm the state. BUT the land most suit
able for it must be selected by the
grower. 1t will NOT do well on OUR
flat woods, because it wants more
drainage than THE flat woods cam give,
particularly i'm the rainy season, but
L
too thin for lit, provided THE proper
preparations are made before planting.
There are a good many disappoint-
nlents in STORE for those who try 1t
ait first, but by perseverance all diff
cult1es can be overcome. | have known
OF cases where the fourth and fifth
planting was necessary before stand
could be had, but when once "a stand
is secured and THE first seaoon of lit
passed successfully, There is very little
trouble with it after wards. After the
first cutting is made every year, it
will oltgroW crabgrass and weeds, and
every succeeding year sees it stronger
established than the previous year.
One thing is certain, THAT Ito get a
good START of it, THE soil must be: put
in THE best shape possible by enther
growing preparatory crop or ploWlntg
under heavy application of high grade
Stable manure Another fact nm this
connection is THAT inoculated soil must
be introduced ito give best Results.
Burr clover is an excellent preparatory
crop, because There lis an affinity be-
tween the burr clover bacteria and the
alfalfa bacteria The same cam bic said
of COW peas, but mot to- the same ex-
TENT as THE clover.
In conclusion I will say THAT if we
cam make a success of the crop in
Florida it's Importance exceeds all the
other industries of the state combined.
Turpentiring, sawrnilling, etc., will pass
away after "a time, but alfalfa will bic
be here to stay.
