Planting.
The cost of planting is only small

that one planting Will continue to pro
GUce good yields for fifteen or twenty
years, if properly handled. The ground
should be thoroughly plOwed TO a
depth of six inches. Then harrow
with tooth harrow, and mark off the
rows with 4 marker. The rows should
he not less than six feet apart. When
planted At this distance it will be only
eight or ten years until the entire
ground will be COVeTeC as the canes
rattCOn very rapidly. After the
ground is pIowed and narrowed the
rows can he thrown out with a disc
ped by hand in a double line. The
disc CUltivatOr can again be used to
good advantage IN covering the canes,
the discs being reversed and set as
wide apart az possible. If the discs
are not set wide apart they viii throw
a large percentage Of the canes out on
top of the ground. 1t Will be found
advisable to cut the canes into short
pieces containing about four eyes.
The top immature parts of the canes
should he discarded, as Lney will not
produce strong plants. If care IS
taken in selecting only good healthy
seed canes, 1000 to 5000 whole canes
will be sufficient to plant an acre of
ground. The canes can be planted at
any ume from November to April I.
Spring planting is advised for North
and West Florida. If planting is post
pOned until late in the season the
seed canes must be protected from
cold by banking. as a heavy frost Will
kill tne buds.
We know very little as to the best
fertilizer for this crop. However,
good results have been secured by the
use OF the same formula as 1OT corn,
applying from 400 to 600 pounds per
acre.

JAPANESE SUGAR ~
II CANE FOR FORAGE
By John M. Scott

The Japanese sugar-cane is one OF
the best forage crops for the farmers
Of Florida to grow 1t is easy to
propagate, requires only a minimum
amount of cultivation, and the yield
that can be secured is very large. 4
good crop will yield from 20 10 80
IONS Of feed per acre. This yield,
Iuder ordinary conditions, is two to
three times as much as We can ex-
Ject from sorghum or corn. Not only
is the yield in tons more than from
almost any other crop, but japanese
'ane is much richer in carbohydrates
han corn or sorghum, and for that
reason IS a more valuable forage
crop. It does not produces it's maxi
mum yield until about the third year
after planting.
Feeding Value.
The CHEZ feeding value of Japan
csc cane lies in the large amount of
carbohydrates that it contains. In
combination with velvet Deans, it
gives an almost ideal Patton for either
beef or milk production. 1t furnishes
the necessary carbohydrates (fat-prO-
ducing materially, while the velvet
beans supply a large amount of pro
TEN tbOne and muscleproducing ma
tertaI). By growing these two crops
Florida farmers can have an abun
dance of good winter feed, for fatten-
ing cattle or feeding dairy cows. In
the sIeerfeeding experiment, conduct
ed during the winter of 19OS-9, it was
found that when Japanese cane was
Fed with light ration of corn, velvet
beans, and sweet potatoes. an average
daily gain of 312 pounds was OBJ
tanned. Hogs are also fond Of Japan
csc cane. They readily eat the hard
canes rejected by cattle and horses.
A number of farmers are now using
Japanese cane for fattening their
hogs.
SiIage, Pasture, and Hay.
Japanese sugar-cane may be used
as pasture or for soiIing, during No
yembeT, December, and January Or
it may be cut and cured as hay, to be
used during the winter and spring
seasons. Perhaps the best method of
preparing this crop for feed is to put
It in the silo. Silage is undoubtedly
the cheapest form of roughage that
We can provide for our cattle and
horses. Because Japanese sugar-cane
gives us such a heavy yield of forage
per acre, it is without doubt one of
the cheapest, If not the cheapest, of
the crops We can grow for silage.

VIZ HEN the council meets Monday
w morning to select mayor to
w take the place of former Mayor
A. C.. Harper, the lobby anC corridors
will be as crowded as they were last
Friday, when the council met to accept
the resignation of the mayor.
1t is almost certain the name OF
George A. Smith again Will be pre-
sented to the council.
The push expects five votes for
Smith. These five are Blanchard,
Healy, Lyon, Yonkin and Clampitt.
Four members of the council Will not
vote for Smith. These four are Drom-
gold, Pease, Wallace and Wren. Five
votes are necessary to appoint.
Lyon is in Sacramento. where he Is
supposed to be furthering the inter-
ests of the park bill, but where he is
also said to be looking after the
plumbers bill, which the council has
condemned in resolutions. 1t is ex-
pected he will be on hand Monday
morning. If he is not the council will
adjourn until some time when he can
arrive.
IT is probable Dromgold will en-
deavor to have the council adopt his
idea that no interests will be hurt. by
leaving the position of mayor vacant
until after the recall election. Several
councilmen who are opposed to Smith
believe as Mr.. Dromgold does. +
But some of the city departments
fear the effect of not having an exeeu-
tive. While no great harm has been
done, a little inconvenience has been
experienced in some of the depart
ments because of the lack of a mayor.
Auditor Mushet has refused to- recog-
nize the signature. of Niles Pease-
president of the council to emergency
warrants. Charles L. Wilde, chief
deputy to the city clerk, attempted 10
get an emergency warrant for $500 to
pay postage on the sample ballots that
the law requires must be sent to each
voter. These ballots are for the recall
election. and under the law must be in
the malls at least three days before
the election.
A city ordinance provides that in
the event of the absence of the mayor
or his refusal to sign warrants, the
president of the council may do SO.
Mr.. Wilde had Mr.. Pease sign the
emergency warrant for the postage,
but Mr.. Mushet would not recognize
the signature.
An emergency warrant also was
drawn by the, city clerk and signed by
Mr.. Pease to get some freight out OF
the railroad yards yesterday, in order
to avoid payment of storage fees. Mr..
Mushet refused to honor this warrant.
The city attorneys department will
have IL file several suits within the
next few days, in which time is an inn
portant factor. These attorneys will
have to reach into their own pockets
to get the funds for fling fees and
other features that require money.
Should there be no mayor there car
be no ordinances or contracts passed
by the council, and the Owens river
construction might be delayed, as it is
necessary for the mayor to sign papers
pertaining to contracts the board of
public works makes.
