true II the fault was in the soil the
climate, or the general conditions that
prevail here. The fact that these peo-
pie are succeeding would indicate that
the trouble in the case mentioned was
with the man, rather than with the
state.
How are the schools and churches in
Florida?
This state has a splendid school
system and Our public schools are be-
ing steadily improved In addition
the state supports two good universi-
ties and there are a number Of fine
educational institutions under the con-
troll Of different religious bodies.
Churches of the various denomina-
tlons are located in nearly every
ne ghbOrhOOd.
we want to repeat here what we have
SAID before regarding the land companies
that are exploiting the state. There are
some honest and some dishonest, some
that are offering good land and some
not so good, but we cannot undertake
to answer through these columns the
many inquiries concerning them. We
will, however, try to give such unbiased
information by letter as we are able to
obtain, to Our subscribers only who en-
close postage for a reply
we are reserv:ng a number of cues
t1OnS for another time and request
those who have asked them to be
patient and we will reach them in the
near future.

SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE.

In this issue of the Agricu1turist we
present the first inStallment of work
under the above title that will be of
great value to every cu1tivator of the
soil, and these articles will be continued
in each successive number for several
months. The work is copyrighted, but
other publications will be privileged to
copy, giving due credit for same. DR..
Gunner, the author, in his preface and
introduction explains the scope of his
work, and we believe he will, in this
effort fill a much-needed want. We be-
speak for it careful study by our read
erS.
DR.. Gunner advises us that where
stamps are inclosed he will cheerfully
answer such questions as may be asked
in respect to the text in order to
better understanding of the work, the
same also to be printed in the Agricu1-
turiSt, thus making this a "Correspond-
ence Course in Agriculture"

DEATH OF DIR. KNAPP.

In the death of DR.. S. A. Knapp,
which occurred on the ISt of April, the
entire country, and especially the South,
has lost most valued friend. For
several years he has been in charge of
the demonstration work of the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington, and
largely to his work may be credited the
great advance that the South has made
along agricultural lines. The burden of
his efforts was to extend diversified
farming and make the South self-sus-
tanning and independent of other sec
tiOns.
In organizing the boys of the South
and inspiring them with an ambition
to do better farming than their fathers,
DR.. Knapp has been especially success
full. In fact, it is stated that the boys
of the South grew the largest prize corn
crops that were grown last year in the

What kind Of lands are best adapted
for vegetables and general farming
and what are best for fruit?
For vegetables we would suggest,
in the order named, muck, hammock,
fiat woods or low pine land with clay
subsoil, or prairie. Any of these will
produce good vegetables with a reas-
enable amount Of fertilizers, provided
they can be thoroughly drained and
the hardpan is not too near the sur-
face. These lands are also we'll suit
ed for growing most kinds of fruits
except oranges and grapefruit. The
citrus fruits do best on the high pine
land, as they have long tap roots
that require greater depth Of soil.
Is it true that the titles to most Of
the land in Florida are defective?
Why IS this so?
No. not most of it, However, it is
true of quite a good deal of it. Until the
last few years the fatwoods which
comprises a large percentage of the
lands in this state, were not consider
ed of much value except for timber
and for grazing purposes, hence the
same care was not exercised to see
that descriptions were accurate, that
deeds were properly recorded, taxes

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

AS promised last month we will ans
wer as best we can some of the many
questions that come to us from people
who seem anxious to learn more
about Florida and conditions here.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-05-01

ONNA1J CN1AN'
How are the roads in Florida? AS !
understand it the country is gener-
ally flat and level. Can one go most
anywhere in an automobile?
We are sorry to say that the state is
sadly deficient in good roads IN most
sections. Some of the counties have
hard surfaced roads in various direc.
tlons, and there is a growing senti-
ment throughout the state for better
roads, SO that we are hoping for
better things in the near future,
Can a man with a family of three
children make a living on five acres
in Florida?
If he is Industrious and experienced
in growing the higher priced vege-
tables, or IS willing to learn, he ought
to be able 10 live comfortably on five
acres, after the first year, and with
ordinarily favorable seasons. How
ever, we have more faith in diversi-
fed farming on forty acres more than
we do in trucking on small plat. On
liz 1c11 81 IL at. Will ( 1C OdII nave Il
few COWS, pigs and chickens, with a
few acres each of corn, cotton and
sweet potatoes, d small patch Of sugar
cane and good garden, an industri-
GUS farmer ought to be independent
and we do not believe there is a state
iii the Union where such a man can
live easier than in Florida.
I have heard of man who paid 5000
for a small place in Florida, sold it
for $50 and considered he was do
ing an injustice to The purchaser.
Why was this?
We do not know the "why' in this
particular case, but we could suggest
number Of possible reasons. In the
first place the man who would pay
5000 for place that was not worth
more than $50, or who would sell a
place for $50 that was worth 5000
lacks the business qualifications that
would enable him to succeed any
where. Then he might have been mis-
led as to the crops that could be
grown on this piece of land, and be-
ing disappointed in this respect was
not satisfied to remain and grow what
was suited to it. Florida is large
state and has wide range of climate
and products. Or, he may have been
raised in a Northern city, without any
experience whatever in farming or
gardening, and come here, as hundreds
have done, under the de1usion that
just anybody could come to Florida
buy a few acres Of raw land and get
rich in a year without much effort.
Again many people fail to realize
that Florida is not settled up and i'm
proved like the older sections of the
country, and this man, or his family,
may have lacked the pioneering e1e-
ments in their makeup that would
prompt them to make a home in a
new country. We might suggest
other reasons but these are probably
enough. We would like, however, to
emphasize one fact in this connect
ion, to-wit: Thousands of people are
not only making a good living but

abstract of title showing just what the

ONE ON FARM

IN TOWN
THREE FAMILIES TO EACH FARM
WRITES w. C. PALMER OF
THE A c. EDITOR,

Three families to each rarm is the
case in the United States today. One
on the farm and two in town, but all
dependent on the farm. Two genera
tons ago nearly everybody lived on
the land and it was the lookout Of
each family how they worked the
land. Now with two-thirds of the
people in town, it not only concerns
the man on the farm whether the crop
is good or not but also the man in
town who is dependent on the produce
Of the land for his living. Whether
the crop be poor or good aerlly affects
the city man more than it does the
Trainer who can keep out enough for
himself. If there is no surplus it is
not hard to see who will suffer most.
AS industry develops we get more
and more dependent on each other.
The farmer, however, remains the
most independent, and again the way
he carries on his work is Of the most
vital importance to us all. The soil
is the source Of everything that calls
forth the efforts OF industry. The peo-

pie who till the soil have charge of
the source Of supply and the rest have
to go accordingly. Do we want more
to do with; then the farmer must pro-
duce more. To do that he must have
more knowledge and skill in his work.
long as the land was virgin it would
produce with any kind of outstanding.
Much of the farming is hardly on a
permanent basis yet: witness the
abandoned farms in the east the de-
creasing land values in the state of
New York, in the face of increasing
markets.
AS long as the farmer can only make
the soil produce one-third Of what it is
capable. so long must our manufact-
uring, transportation, merchandising
and banking remain at approximately
one-third Of what it could be, and lar
gely for lack Of special training for his
work on the part Of the farmer. Who
Is most interested In the man who tills
the soil being trained for his work?
Without doubt it 8 the man the
city. He is the one who should be the
most insistent on agriculture being
taught in the public schools, and that
the Agricultural colleges be given lib.
eral support. The railroads are do
Ing a great deal in encouraging the
teaching Of agriculture. Many have
placed trains at the services OF the
Agricultural colleges that they might
equip it with apparatus, appliances and
instructors and thus carry the teach
ings Of better farming to q great
many people In a short time. Bank
ers are also active in encouraging the
spread Of better farming.
There are no more northwestern
states to open up SO that the only way
to make material increase In produc-
ton is by making each acre, now under
cultivation, produce more. Three fam.
