the crop raised If you use lime, get
the air-slacked, applying about 1900
pounds to the acre, if you use ashes,
to the acre. Both are applied broad
cast and narrowed, not plOWed in. Do
not use the lime or ashes on land
you wish to plant in Irish potatoes,
as the acidity in the soil seems to
keep the fungus in check that causes
potato sCab. In a week or two after
you have applied either the lime or
ashes, you are ready to put on the
fertilizer, using the kind suited to the
particular crop you wish to plant,
either brOadcasting or drilling it in
burrows, as advised in directions for
growing the crop you are planting.
Always harrow fertilizer in the
ground. when it is broadcdsted, in
so deep the plants roots or feeders can
not find it. If the land is we'll drain
ed and can be planted on the level, it
is a good idea to go over it with
board drag to level and pack it be-
fore planting. If you are planting on
beds or ridges do not use the drag,
unless they are three feet or more
wide, but level as best you can with
rakes, and use a roller on the seed
drill to pack the soil as the seed
are planted. These rollers come on
the Planet Jr. seed drills.
If you will prepare your land as
directed here, blowing it as much as
possible-it will be impossible to
ploW and harrow new land too much
have it irrigated, give the plants
what work and careful treatment
they require, you will not have any
trouble in making excellent crops.

GROW PECAN TREES.

A farmer in Georgia who has pecan
grove of 100 acres, says: "No invest
ment can be made that will prove more
profitable than pecan grove that has
proper attention, and the attention re-
quired is nothing more than that which
is required in other lines of horticu1-
ture. Any farmer of ordinary intelli-
gence can, after a little reading, inquiry
and observation, make a good selection
of pecan trees and plant them in
proper manner. A man who has sense
enough to look after a peach orchard
is fully capable of looking after
pecan grove. The only mystery connect
ed with the pecan growing business is
why more people do not get into it. I
would not advise every farmer in the
south to quit raising cotton and plant
all bis land in pecan trees, but I do
confidently advise the planting of small
groves to be added to as the planter
acquires experience. The pecan sue
ceedS in the cotton belt and in consider
able adjacent territory, on almost any
kind of land that will produce other
crops"

TO KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM.

If the boy is to be kept on the farm
and become trained farmer he must
be shown that there are Just as great
opportunities financially, socially and
otherwise on the farm as elsewhere.
There should be an atmosphere in the
public school, in the high school, and in
the college that will attract the boys
to the farm and lead them to see that
individual success and the opportuni-
ties for social service are unsurpassed
in a career on the farm.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-05-01
Prepare New Ground For Fall Crops

all you have to supply will be the
potash and phOsphoric acid that the
crops will need. One thing | want to
impress upon you is that no matter
how rich your land is, if you keep
planting it without putting back the
elements the plants are drawing out
you will soon exhaust it.
The pine land, you might say, is
too acid to produce we'll, but if you
will pick pine land with a good bot
tom as described above, remove this
acid;ty, as directed in the chapter on
preparation Of land, irrigate, fertilize
and work it, you can raise excellent
crops. [ am speaking from personal
experience, as my own farm is all
pine land, underlaid with hard pan,
and not select pine land at that, and
[ have raised as good vegetables ao
were ever shipped from Florida. An
other matter that it might be well to
speak Of here, is that in lot of Flor
-da pine land you find spots where the
hardpan is very close to the surface,
and on this class Of land it will be
impossible to raise any crops until
you build up the top layer This can
be done in different ways; You can
haul muck Or hammock soil and put
on it, Or you can cover it with stable
manure, putting it on from two to
four inches thick, and p1oughing in,
but you will have to be careful not
to plOW deep enough to turn up the
hardpan. Another good method to
follow is to plant the land in cOwpeas
or velvet beans and turn them under
After you get this class Of land built
up, the chances are It will be the
best piece you have.
Preparation of the Soil.
This, I consider, the most important
subject for the truck farmer, as every
thing depends on having the land in
perfect condition. You can have it
irrigated, use all the high grade
fertilizer your crops can take up, have
fine healthy plants, but if the land is
not in proper shape your time,
labor, and fertilizer will be lost.
The first thing to do after you have
looked up the title to your land is to
put UP a good hog and cattle-proof
fence; the American Steel and wire
Co., make an excellent one. If the
land has trees on it you will have to
cut theSe down, saving the best to
make posts for the fence. Next. re-
move the stumps, either by pulling
them Out with stump puller. blowing
them out with dynamite, or burning
them out. After you have these re-
moved take out all the roots, as it is
from them, particularly the palmetto
roots, that the land is kept acid. When
you have all the roots removed, it is
time to put in the tile for sub-irri-
cation, that is if you wish to use this
system. Next, plow the land several
times, both ways as deeply as the stil
will allow without turning up the sub
soil. Now give the land an app1ica-
ton Of lime or Canadian hardwood
ashes, to remove the acidity Either
one will answer, but I prefer the
ashes, as they seem to give better
results, making up for the difference
in price in the quality and yield Of
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-05-01


vate it the year before | plant the
seed," which, of course, was simply
advocating a thorough preparation Of
the seed bed. In no Other section
does systematic preliminary work
in field or garden pay better than III
Florida, and while little more planting
for market will be done in Florida
until late summer and early fall, we
feel that no apology is needed for
presenting this time some very val
liable advice given by Mr.. C. Fl. Ken
nerly, of Palatka, Fla, in his excel
lent little book entitled 'Facts and
Figures, or A B C Of Florida truck
ing" We wish to especially impress
these truths upon the thousands Of
people who during the past few
months have purchased land in Flor
ida with the expectation of coming III
the fall and planting their first crop.
Our advice is most emphat;cally to
get the ground thoroughly prepared
as soon as possible and not wait until
you are ready to plant.
Regarding the opportunities for
truck growing in Floridl AMI the
selection and preparation Of the land
Mr.. Kennerly says:
The greatest opportunity in F1ori-
da is offered in the line of agriculture
or vegetable raising. You will find
other occupations filled to the limit.
There is hardly a day during the ell
tire year that the Florida farmers
can not be growing or harvesting
some crop AS to the markets for
this produce, there are hundreds, yes,
thousands of cities throughout the
country that never see Florida pro-
duce on the markets. The reason iO-
this is that the larger markets con
sumo the entire output. The grow
ers will find that as the supply Of
Florida vegetables increase, new
markets will open up for them. The
newcomer into Florida must reqiize
that the methods Of planting and cul-
tivatiOn differ in this State from any
other section of the country, and to
make a success of trucking in Florida
you will have to farm according to
the methods in vogue here.
To grow good vegetables, field
crops or fruit in Florida or anywhere
else, you must have good soil, but it is
not a hard matter to find this in all
parts Of the state.
[ an going to divide Florida .and
suitable for successful truck growing
into three classes-the pine land, the
prairie or muck land and the hammock
land. The principal thing to watch
in selecting your tract is to see that
it is underlaid with clay, mari or hard
pan; clay or mari is preferred, but if
the hard pan is down about fourteen
or eighteen inches, it will work to
perfection. The value of this bottom
to the land is to hold the moisture and
keep the fertilizer from washing down
too deep out of reach of the plants
roots or feeders.
The prairie and hammock land are
best, as they contain some ferti1izing
elements, particularly nitrogen or
ammonia from decayed vegetable
matter. You will find some hammock
