The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-23

An account Of one made the past sea-
son in Michigan as reported in the
Sugar Planter, will be quite convincing.
The test was made at sugar factory
in Michigan to show the effect Of COM
mercial fertilizers in growing beets on
very poor, sandy soil Three large to-
bacco pals were filled with very poor
sandy soil and planted with sugar beet
seed. The first was left without fertil-
izer, to the second potash and phos-
phate were added, while the third re-
ceived all three food elements, nitro
gen being added to the potash and
phosphate. The pals were kept on the
roof Of the factory, where they were
more exposed to the wind than plants
in the fields.
The three pals received practically
no care except that they were watered
every evening as the season was ur1-
usually dry.
The result was that while the two
elements, potash and phosphate pro-
duced great effect, the beets in the
pail which received complete fertilizer
were fully double the size Of those
which were not fertilized, and much
more healthy looking. This will not be
news to most Of you. But it may be
that some of you need this information
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-23
The American Seed Industry.

A voluminous writer for the agricul-
tural press, furnished to the Farmers
Home Journal, a long article on the
subject Of seeds, seed growing, buying,
selling and the whole BUSINESS Most
Of it is not new, but there are some
parts Of it. which contains information
which may surprise you. He emphasiz-
es the fact which is we'll known to all
experienced market gardeners, that it
is poor economy to buy cheap Seeds
He mentions some Of the old tricks Of
the seed trade, such as buying up poor
seed, and killing it so that it will not
grow, and mixing it with good SEED
He says that on one occasion he was
inspecting the famous Rocky Ford
cantaloupe fields in Colorado. It was
late in the season, after the shipping
season was over, and the fields we're
covered with thousands of frosted and
immature melons. Seed dealers
agents were going around collecting
the seeds from these melons. They
could guarantee them to be genuine
Rocky Ford melon seed, but who would
want to buy them?
He comes to two conclusions which
we endorse, that is buy only from a
we'll known dealer whose guarantee is
worth something, and second, get your
seed early enough to give them a test
before planting time.
He winds up by calling attention to
the Free Seed fraud, by which millions
Of packages Of the most common seeds
are sent out to people all over the
country. This is wrong which should
be righted as soon as congress meets.
1t will when the members realize that
the people are tired of this small graft

Motor Power ON the Farm.

This is the title Of an article in the
American Agriculturist written by Rev.
J. D. DIETRICH, the man who kept 20
head Of cattle and two horses on a
fifteen acre farm, but who sold it at
fabulous price and then took charge
Of $40 acre farm to see if his theory
of farming could be worked out on a
large scale No report has ever been
printed, so that the public do not know
how we'll or i'll he is succeeding. How
ever, he speaks in the article mentioned
as though everything was all right.
He says that it has been his motto
for years, never to allow a man to do
anything which horse or machine can
do. With that end in view, he planned
the barn on the new farm so that as
much of the work as possible should be
done by machinery. The barn is 225
feet long and SO feet high from the
barn floor to the hay track, so that
something more than the ordinary
power was needed to raise the rough
age into the mows.
He has an electric power installed on
the farm and has a motor to cut all
the hay, fodder, straw, etc., which is
used. The motor is also used to unload
the hay from the wagons and put it
into the mows. He uses something
which he calls sings on the wagons,
two of them holding load for a two
horse wagon. When driven into the
barn, the motor is connected with set

WEDNESDAY,. OCT. p, 1907.
The Florida Citrus Crop.

The citrus fruit crop Of this year has
been variously estimated at from two
to four million boxes. For some
weeks now the usual figures have been
about two million boxes.
The Packer of October II, just re-
ceived, devOteS large amount Of space
to an estimate of the crop. They claim
to have reports from 1900 growers and
shippers in different parts of the state.
Their figures are 100000 boxes. The
general report is that oranges are sell
ing at $I.5o per box, on the trees.
Grapefruit is said to be a short crop,
more so than oranges. If SO, prices
will be higher, if the crop is not rushed
off while too green to be good. lhe
orange crop in some sections is larger
than last year, this is on account Of
new trees coming into bearing.
Everything points to good prices for
Florida fruit, if the mar ket is not
ruined by a glut of green fruit which
cannot be sold.
Although not connected with the
citrus crop, we will mention the fact
that the same paper says that reports
from the vegetable sections Of this
state indicate that the vegetable crop
planted will be much larger than ever
before This is especially true Of
those places where irrigation plants
have been installed.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-23
Answer to Correspondent.

I read an article in your excellent
paper of September II, on the Paspa-
lum grass. Can you tell me or all Of
your readers, through the Agriculturist,
where the seed can be obtained?
C. H. N.
(This must have been written before
the paper Of October was received.
The question is answered in our notice
of the catalogue of T. w. Wood &
Son Still for fear some of you may
overlook said notice, we will repeal
that the seed is offered in their cata-
logue, at 90 cents pound, or large
package for rs cents by mail.-Ed)
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-23

he did not mean to go to gardening or
truck farming, but in ordinary farm
crops.
Often it happens that not only farm
ers but also market gardeners try to
cultivate more land than they can pro-
perly fertilize and care for. Let your
motto be not how much but how we'll.
That is, not how many acres you can
plant, but how many can you fertilize
thoroughly? How many can you at
tend to as it should be done? How
many can you made do the very best
that it is possible for them to do under
my circumstances?

Who Makes Orange Sizers.

Reasoner Brothers have received
and forwarded to us an inquiry about
orange sizers, from the Government
Horticulturist, at Pretoria, Transvaal,
South Africa Makers Of such sizers
would Go we'll to advertise them in This
paper. They should at once send their
catalogues to the writer of the letter,
which we give below:
Will you be kind enough to favor
me with the names Of makers Of orange
grading machines, or better still, hand
me, if possible, price lists. [ want the
small ones which a grower can use on
his own place, worked by hand or

Fewer Acres But Better Crops.

We we're reminded that this should
be the aim of every farmer, by reading
an obituary of Waldo F. Brown, OF
Ohio, who died few weeks ago, aged
nearly "A years. He had made the
remark to friend, only short time
ago, that if he were but twenty years
old and knew as much as he did at
his present age, he would not want
more than twenty acres of land well
located and improved, and that from
it he could make more than the aver
age farmer does from 100 acres. And
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-23
Poor, Sandy Soil and Fertilizers.

Many gardeners and truck growers
in this state know from experience,
that good crops can be raised on very
light soil by the use Of commercial
fertilizers. Yet there are no doubt,
some among our readers who still
believe the old fallacy that commercial
fertilizers are like alcohol, not food
but a stimulant That is a mistake,
they really furnish nourishment as has
been proved by repeated experiments.

first one sling and unload it and then
the other, so that the whole load is
taken from the wagon at two trips of
the carrier and in almost as short
time as it takes to describe it the whole
load is in the mows.
The writer asserts that the hay is no,
dropped in a lump in the center, as is
The case when a harpOOn fork is used,
but is spread out over the surface OF
the mow He says that the motor has
! been run all the season by fourteen
year old boy, and handling the levers
was so much like play for the boy, that
he was always ready for the job.
1t is not probable that many, perhaps
none, Of our readers will ever need
such a motor for slowing hay, but we
give the description that you may see
what wonderful progress has been
made i'll Tightening the labor OF the
farmer. We feel that in these days Of
scarcity of hands and high wages for
laEOrers, it becomes necessary for all
farmers and gardeners to use macnin
cry as much as possible. And more
than that to have machines by which
one man can use two or more horses
instead Of having a man to each horse
as is SO often the case.
4O +hn oh
ike to tell you Of another new IN
vention for helping along with farm
work. 1t was described in Farm Press,
and is called farmobile, a compound
of farm and automobile It is design
ed to do the work Of a steam p1Ow, or
rather Of a traction engine which can
Lc used for plowing, narrowing, seed
ing, etc. Such engines are SO heavy
than they camel be used on some
farms to advantage because they will
not ruin on soft ground without sinking
in too deep. Attempts to adapt the
automobile to plowing have not been
very successful because the wheels
would not grip the soil enough to pull
the plOws unless the machine was made
too heavy for other purposes. In the
farmObile this has been remedled by
having the car pulled by cable which
passes around drum on the car and IS
wound around other drums at each
end Of the field which are ODerated bv
four cylinder gasoline engine. Al
though the machine only weighs about
$500 pounds, yet owing to the unique
method of propulsion, it is capable OF
pulling two gang ploWs which can turn
over twenty acres day, and will also
seed and harrow it at the same time
Such implements make it possible for
farmers to cultivate large farms with
much less help than was necessary
few years ago.
AS we said before, it is not likely
that such tools will be in demand in
Florida, yet it is certain that many
more labor saving implements will be
bought by farmers in this state than
ever before. AS sample of what is
being done, we will mention some
thing which we have seen advertised,
that is a hand potato digger, which
the inventor claims will dig the crop
much more rapidly and more eco
