Propagation of Sweet Potatoes.

In order to demonstrate the advisa-
bility of occasionally having recourse to
the tuber in the propagation of sweet
potatoes, and the bad economy of con-
tinuing. year after year, to plant vine
cuttings from crops which have been
themselves grown from vine cuttings,
some trials were in 1905, and again i'll
1906, carried out at one of the Cuban
experiment stations.
In these tests, sweet potatoes of the
same variety were grown on adjacent
plots which received identical treatment
in all respects. In one case, however,
the crop was grown from vine cuttings
which had been raised in this way con-
tinuously for many generations, while
in the second case planting was made
with slips grown directly from potatoes
themselves The plots planted with
slips returned crop three and half
times as great as the plots planted with
cuttings. 1t is evident that the gain of
$50 per cent fully repaid the extra ex-
pense and trouble involved.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-02-01

Not so with the products of the soap
berry tree and the tallow berry tree,
because, first, the production costs prac-
tically nothing, and at the worst the tim
Der from both these trees is Of great
value, since both are excellent for furn1-
ture and fancy articles.
The climate of this state, principally,
is so favorable that the fruitage period
is in advance at least one year OF the
other countries where these trees are
raised.
An instance which has been witnessed
by scores of people from this city is
proof irrefutable at least concerning the
tallow tree The official data furnished
me states that the tallow tree begins to
bear fruit when three years old, and at
my nursery seeding trees only nine
months old were in bloom and are nine
feet tall their foliage thick and beauti-
full is an ornament for any place, and
none of those who have taken the trou-
bic to come and see them has regret
ted it.
The industry Of the soap tree shall in
a very short time rank among the most
important in this country. The market is
open and ready at any time to take all
the fruit of these trees that can be pro-
duced, to say nothing of their usefulness
in other directions and for family use.
In demonstrating the adaptability and
great value of the tallow tree and soap
nut tree, Mr. Moulie has paved the way
for what may become in the not distant
future most important industry to this
State Mr. Moulie is native of France,
but has spent the larger part Of his life
in Florida, and most of that time in
testing and developing plants especially
for essential oils and perfumery. The
thoroughness of his work and his ability
as a chemist are not only we'll known
to the people of Jacksonville, but have
also earned for him the recognition Of
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, and experts in the country gen
orally.

A Garden Marker.

If you have garden and do not use
a seed drill, you will need a marker.
A common garden rake can be used as
a marker, simply by putting corn cob
on two or more teeth as may be needed.
on Florida farms, but every house con-
talns a good substitute. An empty spool
with one end sharpened and then stuck
on the teeth will answer just as we'll

Very few people realize the beauty of
the talloW tree and much less of its
economic value
Those who have seen my nursery can
testify to the beauty, but the economic
value is yet under study SO far as the
full scope of that value can be defined;
and when that stage of experimentation
is reached, wonderful and agreeable
surprise is in store for the enterprlSlng
people who have grasped the Opportun1
ty. My experimental work, so far, con-
sists in the extraction of the tal1ow from
the fruit (Which is also the seed(, the
bleaching of that tallow and splendid
toilet soap made from both the crude
and bleached tallow, respectively All
these products Of my experiments are on
record at the bureau of plant industry,
United States Department Of AgrlCul
ture, Washington, D. C. AS an illustra-
ton of the future that awaits the pro-
the visit Of the representative of one
this country. That firm is anxious to
secure the tallow from the fruit Of the
talow tree and they have taken steps
toward importing it from China and
would be very glad to be able to pro-
cure it in this country
1t is a secret for nobody interested in
the industry of soap manufacture, that
the cotton seed oil is nearly beyond
reach of the soap manufacturers on ac
count of the hourly rise in the price of
that material; therefore, the prediction
[ made when | inaugurated the move
ment of the soap berry tree industry
that the time would soon come when the
soap berry would be in demand for the
soap industry That prediction has come
true much sooner than [ expected as
Mr. J. H. Livingston of Ocala, Fla, has
received several inquiries and quotation
of the soap berry in car load lots, to
say nothing of the inquiries [ have been
myself the recipient.
The prediction holds good for the tai
low tree and it's fruit The latter, be-
sides furnishing all the elements neces-
sary for the soap maker, will furnish
material for the arts in which bees-wax
is used The transformation by lime
saponi6cation of it's stearine and o1eine,
into stearic and oleic acids will supply
great felt want and enhance the value
of the fruit as a raw material.
The cost of production of these raw
materials is nil outside of the few cares
to take to have the trees we'll started.
The raw materials while produced at
an enormous profit, will be on the mar
ket, purcllasable at as low and even
lower prices than the cotton seed OIL
The growing of cotton is expensive
and the production has to be restrained
to a certain limit in order to preserve
the commercial equilibrium of the laws
Of supply and demand; over production
of cotton means low prices and conse-
quently heavy losses and Encouragement
for the producers.

A Year AGO Last Fall (1oO8)

- V0I HSO GoSS 0II I0OO(
The Department of Agriculture of the
United States government sent to me
large supply of seed of the tallow tree
imported from the Flowery Kingdom,
China, for propagation in this country.
[ was left to use my own Judgment as
to the way Of investigating the economic
value of that seed (Which is at the same
time the fruit) and of propagating the
cultivation of same.
It is hardly necessary to point out that
the government has not imported these
seed without knowing their economic
value and the satisfactory results Of my
experiments in that line need not be de-
Scribed in detail to assure the public
that the development of that new indus
try, closely connected with the soap tree
and perfumery industries, now progress
sing admirably under the official work of
the government, will, in very relatively
short time, be very profitable source of
revenue for those who will have had the
wisdom of availing themselves of an Op
portunity that entails no expense outside
of little care at the start.
Tree and Seed Fruit.
1t is a native of China it is beautiful
and ornamental; it begins to bear fruit
when three years old. Between twelve
to fifteen years it reaches a height of
twenty-four to perhaps thirty feet, with
corresponding spread at the top. 1t bears
large crops Of a waX-like white berry
about the size Of a large coffee bean.
The fruit is at the same time the pro-
pagating seed The pulpy part of that
fruit contains a fatty substance used in
China for candles which burns with a
white brilliant flame and is OdorlesS.
That fatty substance has all the charac-
ter1stics of tallow in its chemical con-
stituents and furnishes to various indus
tries elements of incontestable value.
The raising of that tree is easy and
while when possible rich loanly upland
soil known as hammock is preferable [
can say out Of my own experience, that
it can be raised in any soil.
How He Raised Trees.
planted the seeds on the open
grounds The soil was thoroughly
cleaned and prepared just as good as
for the sowing of the finest seed.
TO the top soil, about six inches thick,
I mixed a liberal supply of we'll decayed
stable manure. I then made burrows
one inch deep and planted the seeds one
by one, five inches apart, covered the
seed, pressing the soil gently; mulched
with Spanish moss, watered the mulch
ing literally the first time and took care
to keep the ground moist until the seeds
had terminated and the plants had
grown up to the surface, at which time
[ removed the mulching in proportion
that the finV n1antS made their aOOear-

Judge of Superior Court.
A Judge of the superior court is
to be elected at the spring election.
Judge Charles Smith holds that po-
sition at present, and his services
in the past have proven so satisfac-
tory that he has no opposition for
reelection. What the Telegram may
saw with reference to his reelection
will therefore have no effect as far
as his candidacy is concerned, but
we feel that Judge is entitled to the
compliment of a public recognition
of the satisfactory character of his
services. The members of the bar
and the general public place the
seal of their approval on Judge
Smiths excellent qualificati n S.
The Judge possesses in a high de-
gree both the judicial instinct and
that deep sympathy with humanity
which some judges seem not to
reach to any noteworthy degree.
No man is so low as not to be
sharer in Judge Smiths good will
and helpful interest, and no man so
high as to make him forget a Just
and legal Interpretation of the law.

Smiths popularity Superior Tele-
