Fine Sugar Cane

A specimen of superb sugar
cane of the ribbon variety was
brought up from the Marlboro
homestead section the other day
by G. M. Carrier and left at The
Herald office. The stalk consisted
of twenty-four matured joints
and stood over twelve feet high,
top and all. 1t was grown by
Jos. G. Falcon, who had a varied
experience in the cane fields and
sugar refineries of Louisiana, and
he brought the seed from that
state when coming to Florida to
locate. Mr.. Falcon has used but
little fertilizer and the fine growth
attained by this cane attests the
fertility of the soil of that sec
ton, as does also a patch of okra
that has grown luxuriantly. Some
of the okra stands over fourteen
feet high.

The farmer who plants his seed

cultivation is like the business
man who buys stock of goods,
opens his doors and is satisfied
with what trade naturally drifts
in. But the advertising firm is
like the progressive farmer who
works in his field day after day
and is rewarded with a big crop.
True, the shiftless farmer gets as
much per bushel for his grain as
the farmer who spends all summer
in the field-but he does not have
