A 7O-FOOt Bamboo.

Possibly the tallest bamboo in
America grows in Arcadia, Fla, and
is about seventy feet high. The
clump has spread of fifty feet and
the diameter at the ground is twelve
feet. The specimen is only eight
years old.
This is the common bamboo Of
India, probably brought to South
Florida from the West Indies. In ia
maica it has become naturalized and
is popularly supposed to be indigo
nous.
This bamboo makes an astonishing
growth during our rainy season, the
canes often attaining their full height
in six weeks, after which they begin
to put on leaves. The canes are from
four to five inches in diameter at
their base.
Unfortunately this species cannot
stand low temperatures and the spec
linen in Arcadia has frequently been
damaged by cold.-Garden Magazine.

FARM NOTES.
Some Instructive Paragraphs From
the Pen of a Florida Farmer.
BY Samuel Shaw.

Please allow me room in your val
liable paper to express some views on
farming in Florida.
In the first place we are liable to
get too many plants on the ground
for the fertility of the land and
moisture therein.
Soil preparation is the first step
in successful farming. We should
have moderately deep soil, say
eight or ten inches. If our soil is
thin we should deepen it. If three
plow four inches in the fall and win
ter when land is not too wet. If your
land will not grow weeds and grass
to turn under plant some kind of
crop to furnish humus, and fertilize
it and turn it in early. Plow one
inch deeper every year until you have
the depth you wish.
Never burn trash or stalks OF any
kind that will rot quickly.
Just before you are ready to plant
harrow your land with some good

Fertilize When Planting.

At practically, all the Experiment
Stations, where accurate tests are
made and no guess work as to yields
INDUCED in, it has not paid to divide
the commercial fertilizer into two Or
three parts and make two or three
applications. The net profit has been
greater where all the fertilizer has
been put in before planting. Where
increased yields resulted from two
or more applications the increase
was not usually sufficient to pay for
the extra work.
If the soil be loose sandy one,
and the nitrogen in the fertilizer is
nitrate of soda, possibly two appli-
cations might pay, but as a general
rule the cost of two applications
over the cost Of one is just that
much lost.
