BROWNSVILLE STATION
The Government Satisfied With All
Phases of Development

Messrs. P. H. Dorsett and Peter
Bissett, expert plant introducers,
chiefs of the United States plant in
dustry extension, recently visited
Brooksville and gave the government
experiment station in this county a.
thorough inspection, as required by
the department at Washington. They
found everything in good condition
and being satisfactorily conducted.
They highly commended Mr.. CONNIE
for the faithful and intelligent man
agement of this station.
So well pleased is the government
with the experiment station so far
that the acreage for experiment has
been extended from twenty to sixty
acres. Mr.. CONNIE has been instruct
ed to proceed at the earliest possible
moment to fence the entire sixty
acres and erect permanent buildings
thereon. He is only waiting the pass
age of the necessary appropriation by
congress.
Messrs. Dorsett and Bissett were so
well pleased with our soil, climate
and prospects that they made a pri-
vate investment in the purchase of
sixty acres of Hernandos rich ham
mock land. When it is remembered
that these men have been examining
lands all over the Union, the impor-
lance of their deciding to purchase
here is apparent-Brooksvi Argus.

VELVET BEANS FOR FEED AND
FERTILITY

Many Florida people regard velvet
beans as worth more to Florida than
all the citrus fruits combined. Hav-
ing been first used as an ornamental
shade for sunny verandas, it became
known as a stock feed by accident
and began to be cultivated in large
fields. Some farms in this county
grow annually several hundred acres
each. 1t is soil renovator and mon
ey maker in all stages of growth and
decay. In early spring it's tender
roots load themselves with bacteria
filled nodules, which enable the luxu-
rious vines to take from the air and
fix in the soil from $12 to SIS worth
OF nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen is
the most costly element of fertilizers.
The complete shade of the soil fur
nished by the great growth of vine
and leaf is a decided benefit. In late
summer the beautiful punches of pur-
pie flowers please the eye. They are
soon followed by the velvet-covered
pods which hold the beans. After
the vines ripen the seeds are picked,
shelled and sold for an average price
of 81 per bushel. The bulls or empty
pods are insufficient to fill the de-
mand for them at $40 per ton as a
TO IO Tt0 H.
hidden in the mass of vines escap-
ing the pickers (rich in protein, the
costliest element in feeds) fatten
steers, or winter the stock cattle, hogs
and sheep, which in turn re-deposit
the rich ammonia in the soil.
BY this time the golden hoofs of
the live stock have cut and the rains
and sun have rotted more than 10
tons per acre of humus, which is now
ready to be turned with the pillow into
mother earth to act as sponge for
storing water to be given back SLOW
ly as needed to succeeding crops. One
pound of humus will absorb eight
times as much moisture as pound of
sand, and land on which beans have
grown will produce better, whether
the season be wet or dry. If wet, be-
cause it takes care of surplus water
il dry, because it has winter rains in
storage to be hunted out by rootlets
in drouth.
With all these things to the credit
of velvet beans. there is yet a better
quality: they grow best on light sandy
soil and are made without cost Tex
cept seed as a by-product after wa
termelons, cantaloupes, or other ear
ly crops. This statement anticipates
general farming and live stock COM
bined, each helping to produce the
other.
For several years past they have
been sent from here for seed in car
lots as far north as Richmond, Va,
and Louisville, Ky. to be used solely
in growing fertilizers. without the
hope of either feed or seed values.
1ney grow moderately well any
where corn natures, and make heavy
vines wherever cotton grows, but they
mature seed only in the extreme
south, SO the seed monopoly belongs
to central Florida, with the great
county of Marion leading in produc-

FLORIDA'S OLDEST CROP

The sugar cane is one of the oldest
farm crops in this state of which we
have any record. 1t dates from the
earliest settlement of the country on
the east coast. The Jesuit Fathers
imported the seed cane from the
West Indies, where it had been ex-
tensively grown as early as the year
1918. 1t was first brought over by
Columbus on his second voyage in
1893. But the methods of growing
the crop and the extraction of the
juice for syrup-making have not been
much improved upon by the general
farmer in all the years since then.
This explains the lack of popularity
of this crop as money-maker. With
proper cultural methods and the use
of improved mills and evaporators,
sugar cane can be made one of the
most profitable crops that any of our
farmers can grow. 1t is suitable for
all sections of our state, as it thrives
under proper treatment on all kinds
of soil, from our thin blackjack lands
to our heavy hammocks. After
of years of practical expert
ence with this crop, our preference is
for high pine lands with red clay

FLORIDA THE LAND OF PROMISE

a boom is on in the south, says the
National Tribune Of Washington. Not
the kind of a boom whose picturesque
and ofttimes Objectionable features
associate the term with the rapid
growth of the west, but boom none
the less, that is attracting popula-
ton and new enterprises, stimulating
the development of natural resources
and encouraging the investment of
millions by far-sighted corporations
as we'll as by shrewd individual in
Yestors. The visions revealed a gen.
Grafton ago to Flagler and Plant are
now being realized. The ignorance Of
that day that looked upon those pio-
neer builders as wild enthusiasts has
given way to the general knowledge
OF the natural beauty, the fertile soil,
the countless resources and the ire
mendOus commercial advantages
which in the pastt en- years have
made Florida the fastest growing
state in the fastest growing section of
the country.
