tact that before draining the ground
was a pond in which fish sported.
The rice is making a splendid growth
and if it's present appearance is all
indication of the crop the yield will
be most gratifying. On a strip Of un-
fertilized ground tomatoes were plant
ed, but the natural fertility of the soil
was more than sufficient to force them
into a rapid. growth and they are
tangled in a regular jungle. They are
covered with fruit, but the vines have
been dragged down by crowding and
the returns will not be as satisfactory
as could be desired. On this same
strip pumpkins push their way over
the clearing into the woods.
The kaffir corn is making a fine
crop and will prove very profitable
Okra and cabbage are among the
vegetables grown on the farm, but
there are SO many varieties Of vege-
tables that it is difficult to note all.
Live stock forms one of the assets
of the farm. Mr. Corbett has large
pasture for beef cattle and another
large enclosure for porkers. The
barnyard is enlivened by turkeys,
guineas, ducks and chickens. The
poultry are not confined to a barn
yard, however, but have the run of the
farm. Some forty turkeys take care
Of themselves, rushing away early in
the morning and returning at night
to the barn.
MIR. McSwain is in charge Of the
farm and with his family occupies a
very comfortable dwelling which Mr..
Corbett erected when he commenced
operations. A large and convenient
barn is but a short distance from the
house and is very serviceable for
many purposes. Men are engaged
clearing up new tracts and many acres
will be added to the cultivated area
this fall. Next year Mr. Corbett will
plant field to celery, which is expen-
s1ve to cultivate, but yields huge re-
turns.
1he land on which this farm stands
was practically swamp when Mr..
Corbett purchased it. He drained it
by d1tchlng and found it to be of the
richest character. The soil is black
and fertile and crowns thick black
clay. This clay holds the fertilizer
and the moisture. The soil is very
rich and even without fertilizer gives
good crops. The clay is abundant,
underlying the entire farm. Mr.. Cor
bett is testing it's qualities for brick
ana has sent samples away to be test
ed If the report is favorable he will
build a brick plant and furnish St.
Augustine with homemade brick.
Against the advice of many farm.
erS MIR. Corbett exercised his own
Judgment in establishing the farm on
swamp land His drainage scheme
was a complete success and weeks of
rain would not food the land. He has
demonstrated that good land exists
near town and will yield abundant
crops if lntelligently cultivated. His
venture has proven a success and the
results have vindicated his Judgment.
His success may have the effect of
stimulating others to farm the lands
In the vicinity Of St. Augustine.

quests from some readers, whose inter

the announcement that at the banquet
given by the st. George society Of New
York the other day the members and
their guests had worn bottonieres Of
red roses in honor Of the fact that their
principal guest, ambassador Bryce, had
been on two occasions chancellor of the

the flower spread throughout France,
and by reason Of its' having come from

Before Count Tribalt died he gave
his daughter as wife 10 Edmund, duke

duke of Lancaster had to fight for his

the red roses, known then as the rose
