the very best you can afford, and then
be downright stingy in the use of it.

Proof That Apples Will Grow Well
in Florida.

1t is not uncommon for an apple
tree to grow and bear one or two
crops Of fruit in Florida. Some nur-
serymen claim thar certain varieties
will do we'll in this State Yet the
fact remains that no apple orchard has
ever proved to be financial success.
We greatly regret this, and should be
very glad to hear of some one making
such an orchard profitable. Zone
swallow does not make a summer,
neither does one apple tree make an
orchard The Tampa Tribune says:
Proving that Florida soil and eli
mate is able to produce apples of
quality and size rivaling those raised
in Michigan or Delaware, S. S. Fletch-
er, of Magdalene, yesterday brought
to the Tribune office an apple raised
or, his land. The fruit was we'll
formed, Of large size and splendid ap-
pearance and, though hardly ripe,
showed by the skin that it would ma
ture into beautiful specimen of the
apple family. 1t was of variety ex-
cellent for cooking purposes. Mr.
Fletcher stated that there were many
more on the tree which he planted as
an experiment, and he probably will
plant more OF the same variety

Truck Farming in Nassau County.

The editor Of the Fernandina Rec
ord is very earnest in advocating the
establishment Of a truck growing in
dustry in Nassau county. He is very
positive that the soil of that county
is quite as we'll adapted to vegetable
growing as any in the State. 1t is
so far north that they have more frost
than is usual in South Florida, yet
SO near the ocean, the climate is not
SO liable to frost as inland counties.
Of course, any part Of this State is
milder than South Carolina, where
SO many make truck farming their
chief occupation. The Record says:
Since the Record has been advo-
eating the development Of the truck
growing industry on Amelia Island
there have been several plans sug-
gested to us by business men of Fer
nandina
The most practical plan, however,
for fitting demonstration of what
Amelia Island can do has been sug-
gested by one of the most prominent
merchants of Fernandina He sug-
gests that the business men of Fer
nandina get together and form a COM
pany for the establishment Of a mod
ern truck farm on Amelia Island.
His suggestion was made in earn
est and he followed it with the state
ment that he would himself move
among the business men of the city
at some future date and endeavor to
interest them in company, which
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-07-24

would have as it's objects the develop
ment Of the truck growing interests
Of the island.
His plan appears to be a practical
one and would require but a small
outlay. 1t is to sell common stock
and just enough Of it to realize a
sufficient sum of money with which
to arrange for the growing Of early
vegetables on a scale which would at
least demonstrate that this is an ex-
cellent place for growing all Of the
early vegetables for market.
A company of this character could
easily be organized and there is no
doubt that there would be good
profit realized from the proceeds of
such farm. If the company is organ
lied and an experienced truck grower
employed, there is but little doubt
that the industry will develop into
something which will bring great
deal Of money to this city.
Owing to the interest that has been
aroused in this industry there is every
reason to believe that the company
will be organized and that it will be
ready to begin operations this fall.

munity as much good in your pocket
as in that Of the merchant? Every way
that you look at it, the present system
is unjust to the farming class.
Did you ever figure out what it costs
to send parcels by mail? At 10 cents
per pound it is three hundred and
twenty dollars per ton, or three thou
sand two hundred dollars a car load.
If reduced to 5 cents per pound it
would still cast one hundred dollars
per ton, or one thousand dollars a
car load Does it not seem to you
that the postOffice department might
manage to carry the mails at that rate,
if it's affairs were managed as a bust
ness proposition?
Study this question we'll, and then,
if convinced Of the justice of the cause
write to your congressman and both
senators from your state Become a
knight of the postage stamp and plaS-
ter them on we'll. These men are
public servants, elected to do the will
of the people. The farmers of the
country have given some strong OBJ
ject lessons as to their ability to carry
their point at the ballot box if their
wishes are ignored in Congress, and
members are becoming sensitive to all
suggestions which have votes behind
them.

Editor Agriculturist:

dering on the vicissitudes of life, the

shadow, the dark and bright spots in
life, the ups and downs of man, as
it were, my mind naturally reverts to

lude to. There couldn't be but one
like that, in one year at least. But
many of the genial faces were not
there that | was wont to see of old.
When we gathered together to break
the bread and taste the salt with our
fellow growers from all over fair Flor
ida, and then when it was all over
and each was vending his way home
ward from whence he came, how truth
fully could he repeat the lines of Kip
ling, and how appropriate:

Manatee County.

Florida in general, as winter re-
sort, is we'll known, but as a desirable
place to make ones home it is little
understood, and the advantages of the
different counties have been less
brought to the notice of home seekers.
One Of the finest counties in the
State is Manatee, which lies just south
Of HillsbOrough county, on the Gulf
Of Mexico and Tampa Bay, SO that
the Gulf stream touches its shores,
bringing the warm air and tempering
the north wind in winter and pro-
ducing the torpical rain in summer.
Owing to the peninsuar shape Of
the state there is never wanting a sea
breeze at night.
In speaking Of the Manatee River
section, the following cities and towns
situated on or near the Manatee River,
are included: BradentOwn, the county
seat and metropolis; Manatee, Palmet-
to, Manavista, EllentOn, and ten miles
south the thriving town of Sarasota.
The soil and the climate are par
ticularly adapted to the raising Of CT
trus fruits and some of the finest or
from this county, At Manavista is a
grapefruit grove consisting OF $4,000
trees.
The Manatee River is a beautiful
stream one mile wide and about twelve
miles long, and it's shores are lined
with live oak, PALM hickory and pines
It's waters are a mingling Of the blue
and the green salt water from the
Gulf. 1t is most desirable county
for home seekers and tourists. The
people are hospitable and kind, and
will gladly welcome desirable citizens,
home seekers and tourists.

Grooming is as necessary to keep
horse in good condition as feeding
If the horses skin is coated and his
hair filled with dust, dirt and dandruff,
the pores Of the skin which form out
lets for the sweat glands are clogged,
and matter that should pass off thus
is thrown back into the animals sys-
tenn, often creating diseased conditions.

and sorrows; for we learn to have
sympathy for one another. And then
we go there to learn, and do learn
too, despite some of Our WOuld-be
critics from the land of the fading
SUN.
After looking it all over I have
taken new courage, and | don't think
we are as non-progressive as some
would have us believe. Yes, we are
gaining forward and some of us are
even inclined to put on airs.
Now there's that staunch old wheel
horse from River View, our genial old
friend Bill Neeld Why, a few years
ago everybody knew him as "Bill,' and
he called himself Bill, too. | don't
believe he knew there was anything
else to it and the rest of us never
thought of it. But now he signs him
self as William P, and it was oranges
and cassava that did it, too. And I
am bound to say it is a good COM
binatiOn, if some of us would follow
along these lines. 1t wouldn't be long
till some more us could write Our
names with capitals and flourish at
the end Of them.
Oh, yes, we all grow oranges, and
good ones tOO-When ripe none better,
and doubtful if any as good. But cas-
sava, the crop that will some day bring
Florida to the front; there is where
we lack; there is where we are not
up-tO-date. Not but what we know, but
we just simply don't do. And right here
let me say to the young men of Flor
ida, and to those of middle life, plant
out your groves by all means; beautify
your homes with these monuments Of
beauty, of everything green, and then
see to it that they are protected from
the rude blasts Of winter that may
sweep down on you, or from the
CALL Don't make your grove too
large. Leave some Of your land for
cassava, mind. And then if anything
goes wrong you have your beef and
pork Don't be afraid that the bottom
for first let me tell you right here,
that is better, for milk, beef or pork,
than the much neglected cassava, to
say nothing about your chickens and
yourselves. Whew 1t makes my
mouth water, those hot cassava griddle
cakes with butter and Japanese cane
syrup.
Well, I am we'll on towards the
sunset OF life. But am just clearing
land for a new grove, a small one,
mind. The old one has OutgroWn me,
and so I leave it to younger hands.
But just as soon as the trees are
planted out will go the foundation for
those griddle cakes And the COW and
pig, the chickens and eggs will all come
on apace, and cassava will do it too.
Trusting these few hints may be like

not be entirely lost, I am sincerely
