tablish a complete monopoly of the
spice, They own the banda islands,
where most OF the nutmeg trees grow.
and at one time they wanted TO prevent
every one else from raising the spice.
So to keep up prices and to induce
other planters on other islands TO cut
down their plantations the Dutch at
N time burned three piles of nutmegs.

a hand in the game. A large pigeon of
the Islands, which was extremely fond
OF mace, carried the seeds to all the
surrounding lands, even to the main
land OF Asia. Nutmeg trees began to
grow wild in numerous places and all
danger OF a monopoly was removed.

FEEDING GREEN CUT BONE

Green cut bone can often be pur-
chased from the butcher. This mate
rial when produced fresh makes an
excellent substitute for beef scrap. 1t
should be purchased in small quanti-
ties, as it can not be kept fresh for
any length of time, and when spoiled
may cause severe bowel trouble 1t
IS best fed in a trough not oftencr
than every other day, allowing about
cne-half ounce per bird. Should Sc
Vere,, or continued looseness of the
bowels follow the feeding Of green cut
bone it should bc discontinued or the
quantity reduced.

What are We in For?

From one of our exchanges we
note the arrival of some belated
watermelons from one of the IS
lands off Punta Gorda, and now
comes the news of quite profus-
ion of bloom on the citrus trees on
the Pinellas Peninsula. Ii this
means all-the-year- round melons
and fruit, then we guess we are
making some history that will stir
things up some. The melons are
reported of prime quality, and we
are waiting with great interest
the time of ripening of this fruit.

is no way of getting around it.
Machinery alone will not save the
situation. There is more or less
work in using labor saving ma
chinery. Properly applied work
is the thing. Nature does the
rest, give it a chance. Work with
it.
That means the personal factor.
Environments are secondary to
the farmers skill. knowledge,
patience and other qualifications
as a producer and a seller Of farm
products are the essentials. The
greatest study of mankind is man.
The real factor in successful farm
ing is the personal qualifications
of the farmer.
The farm is factory, and when
men act in harmony with the won
derful alchemy of nature in the
building of plants then success is
possible After the plants are
grown there is the necessity Of
harvesting, grading, packing and
marketing. The production of
crops is only half. To put them
in shape and secure paying price
is the final problem.
This is where the success of or
ganization comes in. By individ-
uals working together for a pur-
pose instead of each going it a.
lone, rushing poorly graded pro-
ducts to market without knowing
all conditions, there is orderly
procedure by managers who
know.
The growing season in Florida
is longer over it's entire area than
in any other state in the Union. 1t
has more sunlight and more rain
fall than any other, both so neces-
sary to successful growth.
A careful study Of the work of
others, as well as personal investi-
cation of the soil under cultiva-
ton, of fertilization, adoption of
crops, and good seed, all these en-
ter into the propousition. The
geographical distribution of veg
citation is determined by climate,
and the principal climatic factors
to be considered in the develop
ment of plants are temperature,
rainfall and sunshine. Florida
has plenty of all these necessaries,
and it is up to man to make right
use of these gifts. Do this, and
Florida can become leader, as it
should be, in agriculture.

Bean Seed for Spring Planting

Fall grown snap beans in Flori-
ola are almost without exception
free from enthracnose, according
to Dr. c. D. Sherbakoff, associate
pathologist of the experiment sta
ton. This disease in some locali-
ties is also known as trust" AS
the planting Of anthracnose free
seed is the only sure and most
economic way of controlling this
very important bean disease in
the spring, the saving of seed in
the fall is of extreme Importance
to the bean growers. 1t would al
so mean a considerable saving in
money, which would otherwise
have to be paid for the seed.
Before storing bean seed, dry
them in the sun for a week, and
then store in weevil-tight re-
ceptacle. If there are weevils in
the seed, fumigate with carbon BIZ
sulphide. Any one wishing fur
ther details in regard to the care
and fumigation of the seed, can
get same by writing to the expert
ment station at Gainesville.

Handle Cirtus Fruits With Care

There is no use in raising good
fruit if it is not cared for at pick
ing time and during the shipping
season. The grower should not
lose interest in the fruit until it is
In the hands of the consumer.
II. E. Stevens, plant patholo-
gist of the University of Florida
experiment station calls attention
to statement issued by the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture. "1t is estimated that more
than 50 per cent of the decay of
citrus fruits after they reach mar
ket is due to fungi induced by me-
chanical injuries. Blue mold de-
cay in oranges, grapefruit, lemons
and other citrus fruits is frequent
ly so serious as to demoralize the
market. There is not only the di-
rect loss Of the fruit through de-
cay but the indirect losses due to
depreciation in prices for fruit
actually sound, to reputation for
poor keeping quality, and to the
proportionately high overhead ex-
pense of handling perishable
product which develops great
waste and spoilage in transit and
after arrival at the market"
Results of handling and ship
ping Investigations carried out by
the department will be found in
Farmers Bulletin 696, which may
be had by applying to Washing
ton. 1t was found in shipping ex-
periments carried on that blue
mold damaged only 4 per cent of
the oranges carefully picked and
packed, while that of the CONNER
clally picked and packed was 6S.1
per cent.
These figures are full of mean

of the seed canes before frost. A
heavy frost will injure the seed
canes as much as 10 to rs Der
cent or more. Poor seed canes
like poor seed results in poor
stands and unsatisfactory yields.
The seed canes should be selected,
cut and banked before there is
danger of frost so as to insure
soundness.
Almost every farmer has his
own method Of banking seed
canes. Perhaps one method is a.
bout as good as another. The i'm
portant fact to keep in mind are
that the canes should be covered
sufficiently deep to protect them
against frost, and the bank should
be situated so as to get perfect
drainage. If there should be
standing water or abundant mois-
ture the canes are likely to rot. II
the soil about the beds should be.
come dry the canes may take dry
rot, and large amount of the
seed be lost. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that we get the proper
, conditions as to moisture in thu
bank where we store our seeC
! canes.
1t will be advisable to banl
: more seed canes than you will us
: as there is always a chance of los
, from various causes.

DeSOTO COUNTY FARMER
Makes a Living on Ten Acres of
Land

| y. L.. CHM, one OF the prosper.
Gus farmers Of the Nocatee sec.
ton, was in Arcadia few days
ago, and in talking with the news.
paper man gave a very high en-
dorsement of DeSoto county soil
and the possibilities of this coun.
lty. He is of the opinion that this
is the day of opportunity for this
section. When the war is over
he says, people will rush south
ward in order to take advantage
| of this splendid climate and Of the
opportunity afforded those who
would till the soil.
Mr.. CHM operates a farm OF
about ten acres south of Nocatee,
and he was asked if a man can
take ten acres of this Florida sano
and make a living on it. "He
surely can," was the reply, "but
of course man has to stick to
his job as he does anything else to
make success of it. 1"
Mr.. CHM raises three and fous
crops on his ground each year.
For instance, he raised crop of
Irish potatoes, followed by crop
Iof corn. He then gathered tw~
crops of hay and is now about
ready for the third cutting, max
| ing really five crops in the year.
He has demonstrated satisfac-
torily that navy beans, soy bear-
and chicory can be grown here
successfully. He finds chicory an
excellent substitute of coffee. He
gathers the root, cuts it up in a
meat chopper, then browns it and
keeps it in cans. Many people
mix chicory with coffee, but Mr..
CHM says it is an excellent sub
stitute for coffee.
Mr.. CHM sets the farmers of
DeSoto county a good example.
He raises his own compost, using
but little, if any, commercial, fer
tilizer.
He is a native of Maine, but
lived in Nebraska many years,
raising a family there. He came
to this section from Oklahoma a
bout seven years ago. His regret
is that he didn't find out about
this country of wonderful oppor-
tunity earlier. r.-DeSoto County

Farming in Florida

There is no more paying Dusl
ness and none more conducive tc
health and happiness can be found
than farming, but working knowl.
edge is necessary if these essen
tials to complete life are attain
ed, says the State Marketing Bu-
reau. Farming is a business for
men who know what to do and
how to do. To leave the office or
shop and expect to conquer the
soil at once is as futile as for the
whitewasher to attempt to paint a
Madonna. The artist attains his
success after long and patient eff
fort. Mere desire does not create
the ability to master the science
of agriculture.
The opportunity to make a sue
cess of the farm is present now in
information to be had from the lit
erature of the State and Federal
Departments of Agriculture, from
farm papers, from short courses
at State Experiment Stations and
from personal advice freely and
cheerfully given by farm demon
stration agents whose services are
paid for by the public, and then
properly applying the knowledge
gained.
Success in farming comes
through the avenues of practical
knowledge practically applied.
knowledge impractically applied
will not bring success. To apply
knowledge means work and there
