Guinea Grass (?)

In our Introductory remarks, at the
beginning Of an article on guinea
grass, we expressed doubt whether the
grass grown near Gainesville, and,
which withstood the cold Of last winter,
could be the true guinea grass. This
opinion is based upon the following
facts. The grass is very tender and
former intrOductiOns Winter-killed so
badly that it's cultivation in that sec-
ton was abandoned. But the princi-
pal reason for doubling it's being true
to name is that it is said to have been
grown from seed.
Prof. Spillman, in his Grasses of the
United States, devotes over a page to
this grass. 1t is no doubt remarka-
bly, valuable grass for pasture or feed
where it can be grown, but Prof Spill
man quotes Prof. Frank S. Earle, of
the Cuban Department of Agriculture,
as follows: "As to Guinea grass, it
is the best pasture and hay grass in
the world. do not know how it
will do in Florida sands, as I have
only seen it in rich lands. It is u.s.
ually planted by slips. I have never
seen the seed, nor heard of it's being
planted.' This is strong evidence
that 1t IS not grown from seed.
AS to Para grass the same writer
says: "The Para grass is not as nu-
trltlous as guinea grass, and it grows
best in wet, half-swampy places. 1t is
as hard to kill as Johnson grass, and
regard it as rather bad weed. Still
like Johnson grass, it is fine thing in
It's place, and yields enormously on
lands too wet for anything else"

Winter Canta1oupes.

Some weeks ago Mrs. Townsend de-
scribed a variety of cantaloupe which
is being grown in California, which
will keep for weeks, and if grown in
the fall may be kept into cold weather.
The last number of the Fruit Trade
Journal reports that a crate of them
has been received in New York. Six
Of the melons, packed in sufficient straw
to insure safe carriage, filled a crate
which would hold IS Rocky Ford can
taloupes. The charges were $3.50 for
the crate Of 6 melons, SO that they
must sell for at least 81. each to allow
the grower any profit. If there is a
demand to justify, they can be shipped
by freight much cheaper.
The new fruit is said to have the COL
or Of cross between watermelon,
Hubbard squash and a summer crook
neck squash. The taste is pleasantly
sWeetlsh, blending Of cantaloupe and
watermelon. We hope that our grow
ers will get seed and test this melon
next year. Being SO much nearer mar
ket would give us great advantage.

Record California Orange Sale.

Orange growing in this state is a
profitable business, especially to those
who take pans to have their fruit clean,
smooth and then put it up in the best
possible manner. Yet it is impossible
Tor us to compete with California
growers, IN making money, until we
can lind variety which we can hold
until October and have them OF first
class quality at that time The last
number OF the Fruit Trade Journal
tells OF the sale OF a car load OF Or
anges from California at prices which
are surprising. There were 384 boxes
IN the car and the footing OF the total
sales was $2,o48. The fancy sold for
from $3.50 to 5000, averaging 1888.
choice sold tor from $500 to $S.83, av-
eraglng 1884, Standards sold from
$3.50 to $40, averaging $6.83. The
average tor the car was $7.67 and a
traction.
1t certainly seems that here is a
held Tor experiment, the production of
variety that could be kept and sold
at this season Of the year, would be
wonderful boom to the orange grow
ers, OF this state.

National Rivers and Harbors
CONGRESS-
Congress-.

That is long name but it refers to
an important body. We have just re-
ceived a circular from the department
Of publicity, stating that the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress will con-
vene in the city of Washington, on
Wednesday, December 4. That it will
continue in session through the next
two days.
The claim is made in this circular
that this body is second only to the
Congress Of the United States in i'm
portance. This may be true Certain
ly we are in full sympathy with it's
proposed work, which, as we under
stand it, is to advocate better system
Of inland waterways.
The waterways of this country do
need improvement. The railroads con-
less that they need to enlarge their
facilities. Moreover the farmers of
the country need tile competition of
waterways to keep down the freight
1ateS, 1t being we'll known tact that
railroads which have the competition OF
some water route carry freight at a
much lower rate than those which
lave no such competition. 1t is OUT
OF the question for the state govern
lnents to do the required work prompt
ly and efficiently. Moreover the COM
1nerce over these routes will necessari-
~ come under the control of Con-
greSs as interstate business and the
work should be done by the general
government. The object OF the circu-
!ar was to interest the people OF all
me states, SO that all would be repre-
5enteu at the coming meeting. We
nope that FLORIDA will be properly rep
eSented.

"Catjang."

Have you seen any advertisements OF
CatJang as wonderful new forage
plant? Ii SO, DO not be in hurry to
invest in seed, for if you do you will
find that you have only your old
friend the COW pea. Our attention was
trst called to this by an editorial note
III Farm and Ranch, which said that
they were receiving inquiries about
"CatJang' as new forage plant, and
calling attention to an exposure Of the
facts IN the case. These are, briefly,
that a subscriber asks about an adver-
tlsement which he had. found in
Texas paper. The Farm and Ranch
reprints the entire advertisement
which sets forth in glowing colors the
great advantages Of the new forage

A Personal Request.

It is our purpose to devote the is
sue OF the Agrlculturist for November
Goth largely to the best methods OF
gathering, packing and marketing the
various fruit and vegetable crops
grown in Florida. We hope to cover
every phase Of the subject, and have
the promise Of special articles from
some Of the most experienced growers
and shippers in the state, but IN order
that it may be as complete as possible,
we would be especially pleased to have
the experience Of our readers generally,
even though it may deal with only
single detail. No one man knows 1t
all, but ii each reader will contribute
something on this subject, this partlcu-
lar number Of the Agr1Cultur1st alone
will be worth more than a whole years
subscription. We therefore appeal to
every one to give us something from
his experience along this line, and to
do it as soon as he reads this.
We expect to print large number OF
extra copies OF this issue, to place in
the hands Of our subscription agents,
and this will presenhan unusual oppor-
tunity for advertisers to reach the
growers and shippers Of the entire
state Exceedingly reasonable rates
will be made for the service rendered,
which will be cheerfully furnished on
request.

Estimate Of Orange Crop.

We have published some of the va
rlous. estimates as given by different
papers. The latest, made by the cor
respondents Of the New York Packer,
is that the crop will be nearly or quite
100000 boxes. This does not vary
very much from the estimates Of those
who have probably the best opportunity
to know the real conditions OF the
crop in all parts of the state. Prices are
SAID by the Packer be rising, being
held now at $I.5o per box on the tree.
Buyers are inclined to hold back.
They have been paying from $I.25 to
YI.4o, but grumble at the extra dime.

it is simply the COW pea offered under
it's botanical name, which is seldom
or never seen or heard. AS soon as
we read this we looked up the botan-
ical name of the COW pea.
Since then we have been somewhat
amused to find, in the Denver Field
and Farm, an item about this very
plant The editor evidently had but
little faith in it's value, but did not
take the trouble to look it up. He
makes no mention of the facts in the
case, but says; eve will bet our good
old alfalfa will skunk it at every twist
in the pike, so what is the use of put
tering with such things with incom-
prehensible names?"

fruit is cut open. You all know how
the presence of one larva Of the cur

that is multiplied by five or six, as is
often the case with this fruit fly, you
can readily imagine that the result is

We wish to call attention to an ar

doubt that they will be profitable wher-
ever they can be protected from the

goats would have the advantage, as
they are much better able to take care
OF themselves. Still the kids must be
watched or dogs or hogs will destroy
them.

Pittsburg, Pa.-G0vernof Albert b.
Cummins. Of Iowa delivered the princi.
pal address Monday night ct . meet
ing Of the Pittsburg board Of trade.
Governor Cummins spoke on 'Rect.
procity," and william R. Corwin. sec.
retary Of the New York committee Of
the American Reciprocal Tariff league
also made an address.
Governor Cummins characterized
the placing Of duties upon many things
as IN American habit and said:
II stand just as firmly and as per
sistently for . reduction In some Of tie
duties In order that the home buyer
may be protected a. do for recipro
cal arrangements that will enlarge
our sales abroad.
"The course Of trade conclusively
establishes that the duties are exces-
sive. II the iron and steel manufac-
turer of the United States can sell his
products In the markets Of other
countries in open competition with all
the manufacturers of the earth. and IL
in SO doing he makes fair profit upon
his sales. the man who still holds that
our manufacturers need the high du-
ties In order to enable them to COM
pete successfully n their own markets
with foreign producers has surren-
dered his good sense in his idolatry at
the shrine of that miserable maxim
filched from the language Of the great
American game.
Il am not astonished to witness the
progress that these manufacturers are
making abroad. but it fills me with
amazement when I hear it proclaimed
that they need protective duty of
from s. to 500 per ton to enable them
to hold the markets of their own coun-
try against the ilroads of their rivals
from other lands.
Il am for tariff revision and for
tariff reduction as a measure of JUS
tfce to the buyers of protected COM
modities. 1t seems to me that we
have gone mad in our zeal for the
seller and have abandoned the buyer
to the mercy Of monopoly, combina-
tion and greed.
"The people have borne excessive
tariff with marvellous patience but
they will not bear it in silence. and
little by little they are coming nearer
to their own. The way is beset by
many dificulties, but they will be
overcome and 1t will not be long be-
fore a congress will convene that will
be as swift to give them the relief
to which they are united as the con-
crosses of the last few years have
been resolute in denying"
