STANDING OF TEAMS,

Planting Pecans in Florida
BY A. C. BERRY

Each represents tree, the trees
40 feet apart every way.
By this method you have a sym
metr1cal grove that the trees dre in
line any direction you may look and
can be plowed any way you want be-
ing SO arranged that each yearly
blowing can be in different directions
or across the previous plOWing, which
is best. If you prefer to planr the
nut, the same plan can be followed
by using small stakes and with
post hole digger make a hole I8 in
ches deep, fill with manure and top
soil or rich earth. Plant two nuts
one inch below top Of ground and
cover. After one year, it two come,
take one out; if desired you may bud
or graft the other with a we'll known
variety, thereby improving the nuts.
This may bring you tew nuts in six
to seven years. There are other meth
OdS-if any choose to adopt them. If
trees are to be set trim the roots in
this manner. Cut the slope smooth
from the underside Of roots, not the
top, then the young roots will put
ont deeper in the ground.
The tap root should be about IS
inches long, Pack the dirt firmly
around the roots, keeping them as
near as possible to the same position
as they would or did grow; set one
or two inches deeper in the ground
than it originally grew; when the
hole is full hold top Of tree in hand
and tramp the earth we'll around it.
1t will need nothing else but trim
ming as it grows; best method of
trimming is to rub the sprout off
where small, retaining only two or
three at top till it is as tall as you
want the lower limbs to put out.

the vegetables usually planted in the
commercial garden there is chapter
devoted to the home garden, formulas
for insecticides and a number of useful
tables. Altogether it is a useful little
book, not only for the newcomer in
Florida, but for all who grow veg
etables for market. We are not ad-
vlsed as to the price, but presume
it is ST.
Truck Farming in the Everglades,
by Walter Waldin, is still another
book that should be in the hands Of
the truck grower, especially in South
Florida. While it deals most directly
with the methods practiced in the
Everglades, the cultural directions
will prove helpful to the truck farmer
anywhere in the state In addition
to the vegetable crops several chap
ters are devoted to the fruits that
are particularly adapted to the Ever

130 pages and sells for ST.

GRIFFING BROS. EXPAND

The many patrons and friends of
the Grlffling Bros. Co. will be glad to
learn Of their deserved success and
that their rapidly growing business
makes 1t necessary to greatly enlarge
their plant. The following letter to
the National Nurseryman shows the
additions they have recently made
to their nursery facilities:
Editor National Nurservman-W
have increased Our nursery business,
taking on nurseries at Port Arthur
and McAllen, Texas, also at Miami.
Fla. 1t is Our intention to grow one
OF the most complete lines of stock
ever offered the South, covering the
entire South from extreme South
Florida to the Rio Grande River
Our line Of trees is peculiar to the
South, and such as many nurseries
doing some business in the South have
occasion to need every season. We
have built a fine line of business in
the wholesale way, furnishing trees to
nurseries in the Central North and
North West, to meet the requirement
OF their Southern orders.
The general sales office of the
Company will remain at Jacksonville.
Fla, but branch sales Offices will be
maintained at McAllen and Port Ar
thur, Texas, also Miami, Fla.

JAPANESE FARMING.

People in Florida may learn some val
liable lessons from the Japanese as to
what can be done with small lots of
ground if farmed for all that they can
be made to produce. Japan supports
population of 48,642,726 on 2I, ,32I square
miles of arabic land. This is 2,2z7 peo-
pie to the square mile. According to the
statistics there is an average of I42 peo-
pie and seven horses and cattle to each
40 acres of cultivated ground One old
japanese farmer reports that he has
been cu1tivating all his life IS NOW of
land, which is two and one-ha1f acres,
and that beside his team a cow and a
small donkey, he fed two pigs. This is
at the rate of 1872 people, 16 COWS, 16
donkeys and 81 pigs on a 4o-acre farm.
More than this is possible in Florida,
where three crops can be raised in a
year-St. Cloud Tribune

THREE NEW BOOKS

The Agricu1turist desires to call
attention to three small books which
have recently been issued from the
press, all Of them Of inestimab1e value
to those who are engaged in fruit
and vegetable growing in Florida.
Citrus Culture for Profit is an at
tractive little book Of "a pages, filled
with just such practical facts as the
citrus grower needs. 1t deals with
the selection and preparation of the
land, description Of the most popular
varieties, planting the trees, cultiva-
ton, fertilization, picking, packing and
shipping, together with directions for
combating the disease and enemies
of the citrus tree. In fact it is a most
interesting and instructive handbook
that should be in the library of every
person in the state who owns even
but few citrus trees. 1t is published
by the Wilson & TOomer Fertilizer
Co., at the nominal price of 50 cents
for the cloth bound edition, or Is
cents in paper covers.
Facts and Figures, or the A B C of
Florida Trucking is another valuable
little volume of I37 pages, by c. H.
Kennerly. It contains thirty-one
chapters, and as it's name indicates,
covers every phase of the trucking
industry in Florida, from the selec-
ton and preparation of the soil to
the marketing Of the crops. In ad-
dition to directions for growing all
