little applause, he sat down early.
Then the band played Hail to the
Chief" and the governor aroSe. The
presence OF a real live governor in
the piney woods set the crowd a yel,-
ing vociferousIy and his speech was
considered the great event of the oc-
casion.
While the next speaker was endeav-
oring to explain his vote in the senate
on a certain bird law, two dogs got
to fighting under a wagon near by. It
seems that a brindle dog from Florida
jumped on yellow cur from Conecun
county, Alabama, and was chewing of
his ear. The confusion was intense
and Squire Lawson, chairman Of the
meeting, ordered one Of the executive
committee to go out and stop the fuss.
The executive committeeman kicked
the dog from Florida, then the owner
of the dog knocked down the commit
teeman, and the band had to strike up
a popular air to stop the confusion.
The fight went on until Il was decided
to announce dinner In order to restore
peace. The meeting was called off IN
til o'clock, at which hour the United
States senator was to speak and he
was TO be followed by the spell
binder.
After dinner the United States SEN

ceived much applause. The band

Sugar Cane as a Florida Staple Crop
BY c. Nfcquarr

Every farmer in Florida sheuld see
to It that he plants some sugar cane,
because 1t is a well-recognized fact
that as a staple crop 1t is one OF the
most most profitable that the general
farmer can grow. And 1t has the par
ticular distinction Of being suitable for
the different soils prevailing over the
whole state. There is therefore no
reason why every farmer should not
have patch of sugar cane to pro-
vide his family with the necessary
syrup for table use and supply the
home market and If any surplus re-
mains after these are supplied. ship
1t to other markets as high grade
Florida syrup is in demand in all the
markets of the country.
Preparation of Soil.
To the end Of getting a good crop,
the soil must be well prepared by early
breaking with a ploW that will turn
under all the vegetable materials on
the land.
The practice of some farmers of
burning the trash left from previous
crops to facilitate blowing is to be
condemned in the strongest terms. be-
cause in doing this the farmer is de-
stroying the source OF humus that is
SO necessary in all crop production. Tt
is the humus to hold moisture, fer
tility and the necessary oxygen that
determines to large extent the
amount of crops produced.
The matter is inseparabIy connected
with the question Of humus and the
facts concerning the real relation of
hunus to crop production is not con-
sidered or understood by the general
farmer as it should be, hence the prac-
tice or burning the very materials that
they should strain every effort to pre-
serve and use as 1t should be used
The breaking of the land for all
spring planted crops should be done
before the first of January so as to
give time for the plowed-under vege-
tatfon to become humus and allow the
soil to settle back to its normal con-
dition before planting time.
Should any rains occur between the
breaking Of the land and planting time
a crust will form on top Of the soil
II this crust is allowed to remain un-
broken considerable loss of moisture
viii occur from evaporation. It il
therefore advisable to use some tool
such as harrow or weeder to break
this crust after every rain, thus in
surfing the retention Of the moisture
in the soil as well as the soii-aeration
secured in the process.
Fertilizing the Crop.
Sugar cane is gross feeder of soil
fertility and to get satisfactory yields
we must be liberal with out fertilizer
The amount applied should, however
be determined by the depth Of break

"REMINISCENCES OF
SANTA ROSA COUNTY

am not writing this article for
the purpose of saying unkind things
bout Santa Rosa county; let some
one who has not been treated so kind
ly by her people do this. I have been
going to Santa Rosa county for over
thirty years and have had my foot
on nearly every section of land in the
county, and have been in over half
of the homes of the people who have
lived there for quarter of a CEN
fury back Some of the best friends
have ever had in the past are dead
and gone ard some of the best l have
today are living in this county now
Santa Rosa has always been a pa
triotic county and in proportion to
population sent more men into the
Confederate army than any other
county in the state of Florida. Many
of these volunteers enlisted in Ala
bama regiments and are not properly
credited to the state of Florida. There
fore, the statistics do not necessarily
show the true facts.
Santa Rosa has always taken a great
interest in the politics of the state.
twenty-five years ago were Judge
Chain, George McWhorter, Charlie
Perrenot and Jack Adams. All these
are dead except Jack Adams, and
he has been away from the county
for several years. McWhorter was one
of the brightest men In Florida a fin
ished orator and an accomplished law
yer, who afterwards was judge of the
supreme court of the state. Charlie
Perrenot was one of the most unique
characters 1 have ever known. No
man ever lived in the county who ex-
ercised his influence. He was brave
and Uncompromising and the most
loyal man to his friends / have ever
known. Jack Adams was a business
man pure and simple, but a born leader
of men.
The old time barbecue was an in
stitution Of the South that has long
since passed away I attended one in
Santa Rosa county many years ago,
up near the Alabama line at an old
mill site, which has since passed away.
Florida was Just beginning to emerge
from the reconstruction period and
the white man beginning to assume
his rights. A general election was in
progress and this barbecue was given
near the line of two states and was
given to draw the crowd from both
communities.
Preparations to feed the crowd had
been going on for several days, and
beeves, lambs, goats and pigs had
been slaughtered the day before An
experienced barbecuer from an adjoin-
ing county had been cooking for
twenty-four hours over the live Goals
in long trench, and savory doors
filed the air. Huge piles of bread,
pies, and cakes piled up on the long
tables in the hollow squares under

be recommended, because the vitality
Of this class fseed is low, and while
the general superstition is that the
short-jointed type of this seed gives
better stand, this is more than set
off by poor quality. In selecting seed
we should see to it that it is of the
very best available Joints should be

the most thrifty and vigorous spot in

How to Plant.
When ready to plant, lay off burrows
six feet apart and opened up about
as deep as the land was broken. Cut
the cane into three or four joint
lengths and lay in the furrow, and if
plenty Of seed is available. lap them
a few inches at ends. Cover slightly
at first, just enough to insure sufficient
moisture for germanation of the bud
and as the young canes get to growing
IN this furrow keep working the soil
towards them until the furrow is filed
ana the land is level, and every time
any cultivation is done be sure and
work the middles as well as the rows,
SO as to preserve moisture. This deep
planting insures a strong, vigorous,
and abundant root system of the crop
which is a main essential towards
large yield. 1t also prevents ten
dency to being blown down during
the high winds of September and Oc-
tober In that the roots are well an
chored in the soil The deep furrow
and shallow covering enables the soil
to get warmed earlier than under the
cd method of shallow furrow and
deep covering and as sugar cane is
tropical crop, the early warming or
the soil gives a good send-off at the
very beginning.
Only shallow working tools should
be used in the cultivation of the crop
as the roots tend towards the surface
of. the soil and any tool that runs
more than a coupl eof inches deep Is
apt to destroy a large number of roots.
A weeder of the adjustable type is the
best tool to use. Failing a weeder,
sweeps on a cultivator set to run shall
low is the next best.
Cultivation of the Crop.
Cultivation of the crop should be
systematic, and continued after every
rain until cool nights begin. The gen.
Of so many workings and then laying
by the crop does not belond to modern
agricultural practice, for as long as
one knows the cultivation of the crop
is going to insure its yield, so long
should 1t be continued. The aeration Of
the soil from the stirring If gets in
stimulates it's bacterial life, which is
so necessary for the production of
plant food for the growing crop roots.

Soil well prepared and with con-
siderable humus in it's composition
should get at the rate of at least one
hundred pounds per acre for every
inch the land has been broken. For in
stance, If plowed six inches deep, use
six hundred pounds per acre, and so
on. This fertilizer should analyze five
per cent ammonia, six percent phos-
phoric acid. and ten per cent potash.
Apply this fertilizer broadcast on fresh
, worked soil about one week before
planting the crop. mixing 1t well in the
soil at time Of application. Three per
cent of the ammonia in the raw ma
terials of this fertilizer should be from
some organic source. Cotton seed meal
is best because of its slow availability
and the other two per cent should be
applied of nitrate of soda as top
dressing about the first of August or
at the time the crop begins jointing.
The source of the potash used should
be sulphate of potash, as the chlofin
in the nitrate or in kainit tends to
give dark colored syrup and of poor
flavor
Seed an Important Matter.

important matter towards getting

a great many farmers of using last
