lishedg A good cannery is insur
ance against loss through bao
markets. There can hardly bt
lany surplus to leave to rot in the
fields if there is a cannery to sell
lit to after prices for Florida fresh
vegetables and fruits have fallen
below the level of remuneration,
The trucker can bettor afford to
make an attractive pack such as
will make more sure the sale of
his shipments if he can sell all but
the best looking of his fruits and
vegetables to a cannery. Fresh
vegetables must have immediate
market.
There is talk of establishing a
denatured alcohol distillery at
Jacksonville to use up the refuse
of Florida fields. Alcohol can be
made from any vegetable matter
which contains starch or sugar.
lhere IS a growing demand for
denatured alcohol for mechanical
uses and, to a small extent in med
icines-for external uses. Event
ually, there will be a market for
everything that grows on Florida
soil. Even weeds make a good
compost to enrich the soil so that
valuable crops may grow. After
all of crop that the markets and
the canneries will purchase has
been gathered there may be some
thing left suitable for the making
of denatured alcohol. In that day
the raising of truck crops in Flor
ida will cease to be what it has Of
ten been said to be-"a gamble
with the markets. +" 1t will have
no uncertainties except those con-
nected with the weather.-The

Future Of Florida Trucking

The Fort Meade Leader says
the farmers of that section are
finding the cannery there their
next best friend to a good market.
Green beans had brought satisfac-
tory prices and the bean raisers
would have had to pocket a loss
had it not been for the cannery
which paid fair prices for what
remained of their crop and enab-
led them to make something of

for the heat to penetr9te. In oul
loose, sandy soil we grow mag
nificent root system and the trees
can be transplanted with naked
roots. In California their soil is
richer and heavier, so that the
young plant does not require such
large amount of feeding roots
and the result is that if they try
to take up a tree and plant it
with naked roots they lose a
large proportion of them and the
only way in which they can sue
cessfully make a tree live is to
! dig around it and put a sack un-
der the roots, bringing it up a
round the trunk Of the tree and
tying it there so as to hold the
earth around the roots. | think

Tampa, who recently returned

In California the man who has
accumulated money enough to in
vest in any amount of land can
well afford to place it in some
thing that will give quicker and
better results than fruit growing.
In Florida you can get good land
for about half what you would
have to pay in California and the
water question, since | have been
here, does not seem to be so
much as to how to get it, as how
to dispose of it. Geo. B. Dun
