YOUNG SANTA ANA PIANIST
ACHIEVES FAME IN EUROPE
Word Received from Berlin That Prof.
C. A. GustIin Is Making Repu-
tatlon Abroad

SANTA ANA, Oct. 12-Word has
been reteived here that Prof. c. A.
Gustlin, a young Santa Ana pianist
who has been studying in Berlin under
great masters for the past two years,
is already coming into prominence in
Europe, where he has been booked for
a winter and spring tour. He has
planned to tour the United States in
1910.
Santa Ana is immensely interested in
the success of Prof. Gustlin, whose
wonderful playing promised him bril-
liant future even before going abroad.
For seven years Prof. Gustlin was
pupil of Herr Becker. and his success
will reflect credit on Southern Califor-
MIA, of which he is virtually a product
although a native of Iowa.

a rule, he gets only freight bills, or at
best the returns will barely cover the
cost of picking and packing. [ am now
arranging with several other farmers
near by to plant enough of one variety
to ship in car lots, and get what advan-
tage may come from lower rates and
quicker service. When we have not
enough of one vegetable to fill car, we
can make up a mixed car.
On a part of the land we SOW cowpeas
or beggarweed in June, to furnish sup
ply of hay instead of pulling fodder from
the corn, as the value of the fodder is
less than the injury to the corn.
[ do not claim that this is an ideal plan
for managing a small farm, but [ am
satisfied that by studying conditions,
watching results carefully, and keeping
a succession of crops, one can make from
$4OO up from an acre of this land. There
is a large body of good land near mine
for sale at reasonable price, and little
of this sub-irrigated muck can be had at
from $35 to $50 per acre. Some of this
land produces celery equal to that grown
on the $500 land at Sanford, and the sea-
son can be extended into May and even
June.
We want more neighbors, and [ will
be glad to give any further information
to parties really interested.

Tobacco Experiments in Bermuda.

Hopes have been entertained of estab-
fishing tobacco industry in the Ber-
mudas, but as will be seen from the ac
companying extract from a report on
the colony for the immediate prospects
are not very hopeful
During the year the Legislature placed
a sum of f7OO at the disposal of. the
Board of Agriculture to enable the latter
BODY to continue the experiments in the
cultivation of Sumatra wrapper tobacco
on larger scale than in the previous
wear. Owing to an unusually long
drought the experiment had to be aban
doned after more than half the amount
had been expended.
There is little doubt that wrapper to-
bacco can be grown in Bermuda, and
cured successfully, but unless the process
of curing it undertaken by a syndicate
with sufficient capital. and the tobacco
leaf be purchased by the syndicate, from
the growers, there is small chance of es-
tablishing an industry in this produce.

FIG CULTURE.
Manner of Planting, Packing and Ship
ping-Most Popular Varieties.
Bv a. "TeXan Grower"


For many years the Southern farmer
has cultivated figs in a limited way
has cultivated fge in a limited way
around door yards; in fact, many grow
ers believe that figs cannot be success
fully grown in orchards. AS an old
farmer remarked recently, ''The fig tree
has got to smell your breath to do WELL"
This, however, is all erroneous. Figs are
now successfully grown in large orchards
in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas with
good results. The fig tree is a ravenous
feeder and delights more in liberal appli-
cation of all kinds of manures than fire.
auent cultivation, in fact, deep cultiya-
tion around the trees is rather more
harmful than good. The demand for
figs is steadily increasing, as the fruit
is gradually introduced in Northern mar
kets; its peculiar sweetness and laxative
properties make it a healthy, desirable
fruit to all who once have acquired
taste for figs.
Besides being delicious fruit in it's
ripe stage, it is peculiarly adapted for
preserving, and there is hardly any pre-
serve higher in price or more in demand
than preserved figs, when properly
treated
Planting Figs do best on sandy, we'll
drained loam; the figs can be easily and
cheaply propagated from cuttings. and
it is not unusual to see cuttings planted
in the spring mature figs in limited
way the same year. Fig suttings, or
trees, should be planted fifteen feet
apart each way, or they may be planted
in rows fifteen feet apart and eight feet
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01

in the row; it is not bad idea to plant
figs along fences, outhouses, barns and
chicken yards. Chickens do we'll under
fig trees and so do the trees in conse-
quence.
Varieties-There are many excellent
varieties, such as:
Celeste or Sugar Fig, the best for all
purposes.
White Adriatic very large juicy fruit,
very thin skinned good bearer.
Brown Turkey, medium size, color
brown, very prolific.
Large Blue Ischia, dark blue, very
large and of fine taste. i.
Lemon Fig, peculiar lemon favored
fig.
In the coast country there is a local
fig called the Magnolia Fig, which is
very desirable on account of it's sizer
sweetness and prolific bearing qualities
It can be procured from any coast cottn~
try nursery or grower. Fig trees have
been known to yield 1000 pounds of fruit
to the tree in one season.
Fertilizers-A heavy application of
good strong barnyard manure each year
is desirable; Even liquid manures are
keenly appreciated by fig trees. Where
pdIHydIU UlduuIc is nOU dVdlldUlO Ill sui
fcient quantities, we would advise to
use monthly on small trees three pounds
of fertilizer containing: Nitrogen, 5 per
cent; actual potash per cent; available
phosphoric acid, 9 per cent for each tree
When the trees are young cultivation
should be frequent and very shallow,
especially close to the tree. Other light
crops may be grown between the rows.
AS the orchard grows larger very little,
if any, cultivation is required, or just
sufficient to keep down excessive weeds
and grass and assist in applying fertil
iZers.
It is quite frequent that fig trees,
during January, put on an early growth
and late freeze in February and March
kills all of the tops. This is, however,
not very serious, as the roots are seldom
killed, and the figs, being such spontan-
eous growers, will establish them
selves in short order, even bearing good
crop during the following summer.
Packing and shipping During the rip
ening season figs must be picked every
day; as soon as one shows a large in
creased size and color, it must be picked
and packed for market. Figs thould be
carefully and nicely packed in straw
berry boxes and in crates holding TWEEN
ty-four of the quart boxes.

THE TEN ACRE FARM
How Successful Lake County Man Would Plant and
Cultivate Such Tract i'm Florida
By John Heaton.

To a Northern or Western farmer q
ten-acre farm seems very small; but
after few years of experimenting, he is
compelled to admit that it is quite suf
ficient, in Florida. Whether one starves
to death on such farm or makes good
profit depends largely on the quality of
the land as we'll as on the use of good
Judgment. A stranger to conditions here
would do well to consult with his neigh
bors, and follow the advice of success
full farmers who are acquainted with the
soil, climate and general conditions.
It d farm is selected where one can
have good hammock or muck land, with
artesian water for irrigation, or, better
still, land that requires no irrigation,
and goes about it in the right way, he
stands pretty good chance to succeed.
AS we have no law in this State re-
Giiiring stockmen to take care of their
stock. the first thing necessary is to have
your land surrounded with good strong
fence. Now build an inexpensive house,
or better one if you can afford It, and
clear up an acre or two of your land.
Some of the best garden land in Florida
is covered with dense growth of alder,
which can be removed at cost of about
SIS per acre,
Make haste slowly, and do lot of
experimenting the first year in small
way. Plant garden any time from
September to March, so as to have plenty
of vegetables for home use. Devote
sufficient area to a home orchard, with
a variety of fruits, covering as long
time as possible. When you have learned
the adaptability of the soil to certain
crops, grow them in succession keeping
something always in the ground, as it
costs no more to grow crops than weeds.
On my little 10-acre farm, start my
seed beds early in September and have
lettuce, celery and cabbage ready for set
ting early in November This is all out
of the way by February, except the eel
cry. In January plant Irish potatoes
between the rows of cabbage and as the
cabbage is taken out the potatoes are
worked, so but little special cultivation
is necessary.
Plant corn between potatoes not later
than April l. By May the potatoes
are dug; the corn is worked and requires
little more attention. The fourth crop
on this land is Irish potatoes, planted
about September l, when the corn is
gathered. I husk the corn from the stalk
throwing it into the wagon, and it is all
out of the way with one handling.
I have made many mistakes, but am
beginning to succeed, having this year
harvested potato crop of over 100
bushels per acre. On this I used about $50
pounds of fertilizer per acre. There is
no use trying to ignore the fertilizer
question; it must be met. But on this
Apopka muck land very little is required,
a larger quantity being rather harmful
than otherwise
The question of marketing our produce
is of no less Importance than that of
growing it. There is little use in every
small farmer shipping his two or three
crates of beans, and half dozen of cab
