Cultivating Cantaloupes.

A thorough preparation of the soil be-
fore it is planted to cantaloupes will very
much lessen the necessity for so much
cultivating afterwards, but a great deal
depends on frequent and thorough Guilt
walton during the early stages in the
growth of cantaloupes; at first it should
be deep and thorough, but not close
enough to disturb the plants; the culti-
vations should be more shallow and fur
ther from the hills as the plants develop.
The grower who cultivates deep and close
to the hill because the vines do not pre-
vent him is cutting off one source of
early cantaloupes. He should study the
growth of the roots, for they form the
counterpart of the vines on the surface,
only they ramify the soil more thorough
ly and to greater distance than the
length of the vines.

MAGNOLIA FIG GROWING.
Bv w. A. Stockwell.

We have been growing the fig in the
Alvin country for market for sixteen
years and have found that there is only
a limited demand for the fruit in the
fresh state, and this, in connection with
the poor keeping quality, makes it an
uncertain fruit to grow, unless you have
preserving plant to take care of it.
[ consider a nicely ripened fig as fine
fruit as the world can show, but it is
not widely known by the public, and may
never be, as during the hot season, when
it attains it's greatest perfection, it will
stand for only few hours, and
then become sour and worthless. If
gathered green enough to stand shipping,
it will never ripen up with it's natural
flavor. It can be handled by refriger-
ator express, but is so little known, and
the demand is so uncertain, that there
is great danger of loss by shipping in
this manner. I believe that market
can be made or developed for the fresh
fruit, by persistent shipping of high
grade fruit by refrigerator express to
some select markets in the North, but
it will take several Improbable seasons
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-03-01

to develop this market and few growers
can afford this.
AS preserved fruit it has already at
tanned first rank and is the highest priced
and most esteemed delicacy on the mar
ket.
To those who contemplate the plant
ing of fig orchards, I will say that we
have found the magnolia fig to be the
only commercial fig yet tried in this
section of real value. It has the
best qualities of all the other varie
ties, being hardy, prolific, we'll favored,
an early bearer, and the fruit of a desir
able color for preserving. But there is
no use to plant except in sufficient guam
titles to Justify the erection of pre-
serving plant. If this is done and your
orchards properly cared for, you will be-
gin to receive a revenue the second year,
and it will be from 5000 to $500 per acre
after the third year. It is sure crop;
no failure during the past fifteen years.
There are few enemies to the fig trees,
as they are attacked by none of the
scales now known, and while fungus dis
eases are sometimes present, they have
done little damage and are easily con-
trolled, disappearing in few weeks
without doing much damage.
The growing of an orchard requires an
intimate knowledge of the habits of the
tree, together with thorough and scien-
tifc cultivation. No haphazard or in
different work will succeed. The habits
of the tree are different from all others,
and a knowledge of orcharding in other
lines will be of little value in growing
your fig orchard Not only is thorough
cultivation necessary, but careful prun-
ing is absolutely essential to obtain good
yields of high grade fruit. While prun-
ing is practiced by all good orchardists,
there is no other fruit grown, not even
the grape where pruning is of so vital
Importance as the fig tree. This pruning
is usually done late in February and is
dangerous if done sooner.

and our two little folks went to her

feared undue exposure both for herself
and the children, now just four years
old Nor did she or I like the idea of
her travelling alone to Join me.
Our perplexity was ended in an unex-
pected manner. My wife's brother, who
lived with their widowed mother, had,
like myself, become tired of the constant
fights and discomforts incident to a
bleak climate, and now suddenly deter
mined to follow my example, and seek a
new home in the Land of Flowers. his

was therefore arranged that Mollie
should remain at her old home until I
had prepared the new, and that then
she and the children with her mother and
brother should travel southwark togeth-
er. This important point settled, my
preparations for departure were quickly
concluded.
''Now, Harry" said my brave Mollie,
her arms about my neck as I stood on
the doorstep, 'You are not to worry
about us at ALL Take plenty of time
to make a good selection. The more
haste the less speed you know. And
don't get down, you dear boy"
'No," said [ grimly, "I'm up!"
And then I clasped her to my heart,
and rushed for the station, not that there
was any such hurry, but because there
was g lump in my throat, and did not
want nv wife to see me choke to death
right before her eyes. That was why I
ran, and that was how my journey to-
wards the new home commenced.

There are today many such subject to

we're no offers at that price. The new
bill provides that the property may
be rented. It is also provided that if
necessary $4,000 may be expended in
repairs. The remainder Of the act

NEW REFERENDUM
ON PROHIBITION
SENATOR OTIS HAS BILL TO
SUBMIT QUESTION TO PEOPLE
It is Stated That the Prohibitionists
Will Not Give Up Fight on the
Other Measures.

What will doubtless create some sur
prise among followers Of the whiskey
legislation in this State is bill that
was introduced in the senate last
Thursday by Senator Otis, leader Of
the prohibition fight in the senate.
The measure provides for an election
to be held on the question of whiskey
or no whiskey next August.
The first question that naturally
arises in this connection is this
1Does the bill introduced by Sena-
tor OTIS indicate that the prohibi-
tionists acknowledge that they are de-
feated in the fight or are doubtful Of
the issue?" However, Senator Otis
stated yesterday that all the prohibi-
ton measures would be fought ont
and that the bill just introduced does
not indicate that there will be any
let up in the fight for Statewide pro
hibition.
The bill of Senator Otis provides as
follows:
tSection 1. That special election
in this State shall be held on the last
Tuesday in August, 1909, for the pur-
pose of determining the question OF
State prohibition or county dlspensa-
ries as now established by law.
"Sec. 2. The said election shall be
held under the provisions Of the sew
real laws: Provided, That the books
of registration shall close 30 days be-
fore the special election herein au-
thorized.
ESec. 3. That there shall be but
one ballot box at each precinct and
the electors voting for Estate prohi-
bition' shall vote ballot on which
are printed or written the words, for
State prohibition, and those opposed,
or voting for 'county dispensaries, as
now established by law" shall vote a
ballot on which are printed the words,
sfor county dispensaries as now estab-
ished by law and if majority Of
those voting at said election shall vote
sfor State prohibition then all the
dispensaries throughout the State
shall be closed on the first day Of Oc-
tober, 1909, but if a majority Of those
voting at such election shall vote Tor
county dispensaries as now establish
ed by law then all county dispensar-
les now established shall remain until
disestablished, as now provided by
law.
"Sec. 4. Nothing in this act shall
be construed to repeal any penalty or
punishment or fine for the illegal sale,
bottle exchange or handling Of contra
band liquors, and all the provisions.
duties, obligations now imposed upon
State, county and municipal officers
are hereby declared to be Of and re-
main in force and effect.
'Sec. 5. All acts and parts Of acts
inconsistent with this act be. and the
same are hereby, repealed. l."
