Making Syrup.

Tampa Times: --Anothe chance
is to be given to the people of
Florida to make syrup out of the
most excellent sugar cane which
they can SO easily produce. An
establishment is to be fixed and
fitted up in Jacksonville for the
treatment of the native syrups in
which they will be blended and
treated and refined into q first
class article. 1t is presumed the
concern will buy at fair price
all that is offered, and the ques.
ton is whether it will get enough
raw material to keep it running.
Let us hope the small farmers of
The state who car raise nm acre or
two or more of cane will get busy
and produce the stuff. II would
DO easy for couple of thousand
farmers to supply two to five
thousand gallons each, which
would make u very large output
and bring in much money to the
state.
AS is done in the sugar beet
districts of the north, it ought to
be easy to secure from the rail
roads a cheap commodity rate
for the raw syrup, so that it
could be collected from every
farmer within Il radius of a hun
bred miles and the exeriment full
ly tried. If it is successful, as IL
may well be, it will be easy
enough to put up other establish
ments in suitable locations and
make of Florida the most success
ful syrup producing state in the
Union. If a standing price is
offered for unlimited quantities of
the produce direct from the farms,
there is little doubt it will be
forthcoming.
