JOURNAL WANTS BRING t.
THE QUICKEST RESUlT2,
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-05-22

pro6tably than in any other state, un-
less we must except California.
West Florida grows tobacco, cotton,
pears, and many ordinary farm crops,
the East Coast grows pineapples and
many tropical fruits, besides enor-
nous crops Of vegetables. The West
Coast is devoted more to citrus fruits,
but also grows large crops of all va
rieties of vegetables. Other sections
Of the state have varied crops, while
the stock business is looming up as
very important branch of agricul-
ture. If you are thinking of coming
to Florida to make home, you need
not hesitate on account of any one
saying that the orange business is
the only one which promises any
profit, and that an uncertain one.
You can come with the assurance that
if you use ordinary prudence in select
branch of farming suited to your soil
and locality, you may feel as sure Of
success as in any other state. But
Florida is no place for lazy folks, it
takes hard work to make living on
a farm in Florida as certainly as in
any other state We do not have
three months of winter cold, in which
no work can be done on the land.
There is never week in which some
crops do not need attention. Active,
energetic men, with good judgment,
are making a good living from the
soil in Florida, with as many differ
ent crops as anywhere in the United
States.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-05-22
Velvet Beans.

"A few years ago these were slow
OF sale at $I.oo per bushel. Either the
crop must be very short, or the de-
mand Unusually great, for they are
quoted at from $500 to $500 per
bushel, and evidently the supply is
scanty even at these advanced prices,
tor they are being advertised for.
Few crops that are grown in this
state can be raised with less work
Yet very few have so many good
qualities to recommend them. The
beans furnish good grain food for
stock, and the vines make excellent
hay if cut at the proper time and
we'll cured
They ought to be more commonly
planted as they are better than the
famous cow-pea to restore fertility,
and supply much larger quantity
OF humus. If you have not yet tried
them, get few beans, if only dozen,
and plant them where you can give
the vines proper support, and you
will be greatly surprised at the quanti-
ty of seed which you can grow in this
way. Planted near the house they
are quite ornamental, in fact they
were cultivated for this purpose long
before anyone thought of their value
for any other use.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-05-22

prayer by Rev. A. E. Drew This
was followed by addresses of well
come by Mayor Northrup, in behalf
of the city, and Mr.. A. F. Bartlett,
for the Pinellas Orange Growers As
sociation, which were responded to
by Prof. P. H. Rolls, president of the
society.
Many matters were considered in
the interest Of the farmers and fruit
growers of the state, such as better
shipping facilities and lower freight
rates, the gathering of reliable Stats
tics concerning the various crops
during the growing season for the
information Of the members, increas-
ed appropriations for the experiment
station and for farmers Institutes,
etc.
The old officers were all reelected,
with the addition of DR.. w. C. Rich
ardson, of Tampa, as first vice-presi-
dent; and Gainesville was selected as
the place tor the next meeting.
On Thursday the delegates were
rendered most enjoyable excursion
up the Manatee River, on the steamer
Favorite, which included a stop at
Fort Dade, and an opportunity given
the party to go ashore and inspect
this interesting place. An elegant
luncheon served by the ladies of St.
petersburg, also added to the enjoy
ment of the trip. The hospitality of
the people of this beautiful city was
manifested in various ways, and we
feel sure that every one who attended
this meeting will always remember it
as one of the pleasant and profitable
events Of his life

Florida State Horticultural Society.

The twentieth annual meeting OF
the Florida State Horticultural So
ciety was held at St. Petersburg last
week, beginning on Tuesday and end
ing Friday. On the whole, it was one
of the most successful meetings ever
held by the society, both IN point OF
attendance and in the interest mani
tested. Among those present were
many who have scarcely missed
meeting since the society was organ
lied. The enrolment this year ag-
gregated nearly 700, and the actual
attendance of members was about
300. In addition to the members, a
