CONDENSED NOTES OF CORRESPONDENTS-BY DIVISIONS.
NORTHERN DIvISION.-Although a larger acreage was planted in cotton than last year the unfavorable cold and dry spring that followed planting served to cut down the acreage by failing of the seed to germinate, and dying out of the plant from other causes. With the exception of a few isolated localities the whole district suffered severe losses. A portion of June was favorable; giving the crops a period of warm weather followed by copious warm rains which benefited the cotton and all other crops very greatly. Not only cotton suffered from the unfavorable weather conditions, but all field and late vegetable crops; next to the cotton the most important crop to suffer damage was corn which has been reduced to a prospective yield of only about three-fourths of a crop. The cotton crop in this division is at present in poor condition compared to what it should be. The most flourishing crop grown in this section is tobacco, which under the methods of culture in use is yielding a full crop of the finest quality.
VIFSTBRN DiviSION.-The same weather condition existed in this division as in the foregoing one,; or if anything perhaps, the average is a little worse. Cotton is in worse shape and a little more backward; the corn crop is about the same as in the Northern Division; all the field crops are late and indicate short yields and the vegetable crops were also damaged, some amounting to a failure.
In both of these divisions of the State the scarcity of labor is a ver ' serious drawback to successful farming; owing to its uncertainty and no little degree of inefficiency, it has the effect of preventing the increase in acreage that otherwise would be and the proper cultivation of crops in many instances where acreages are increased. A well nigh perfect season for cotton from this on wiil be absolutely essential to anything over a medium crop, appearances at present do not indicate over 75 per cent. of a crop.
Live stock in this division as in the preceding one, is in excellent condition, with the exception of hogs, which are to some extent affected with cholera in a few localities.
NORTHEASTERN DrvisioN.-In this division the crop conditions are best, and both cotton and corn are doing well: the general average condition of crops in this division is good and if favorable weather conditions continue the general yield of crops will be fair to good; the small fruits, such as strawberries, etc., were badly damaged by the long continued drought; vegetables also suffered to a considerable extent, worse in some localities than others. Live stock is in good condition.
CENThAL DIv~sioN.-Al most the entire area embraced ia this division suffered for months from the most disastrous and prolonged drought in recent years; in some localities the field crops are fair to medium, in others, entire failures, and the vegetable crops with scattering exception can be set down as failures; it is doubtful if these crops will average over one-fourth or one-third of a crop. and the field crops not more than 70 per cent, of an average crop. The fruit is also damaged very heavily; the yield cannot be expected to reach over two-thirds of a crop. The drought has also been severe on the live stock and has entailed a very heavy loss on the cattle growers especially.
SOUTHERN DivisioN.-In this division the same conditions have obtained in even a more aggravated form. In this division the greatest part of both the fruit and vegetable crops for commerce are produced, and hardly more than half a crop of vegetables and a third of a crop of fruit has been made; the average for the orange crop in the division being only 48 per cent, of what was expected: other fruits yielded some less; the orange crop for the State as at present indicated will not exceed two-thirds of a crop. The field crops in this section are also very short and live stock, cattle especially have suffered greatly for lack of water. The latter part of this month, however, has brought good rains which will bring about an improvement speedily.

FLORIDA SECTION,
A. J. Mitchell, Section Director.
Report for May, 1907.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
'Some high winds occurred during thunderstorms that prevailed over a large territory on the Sth, 11th, 12th, and the 31st. The highest velocity recorded at a regular station was 56 miles at Jacksonville on the Sth.
The average temperature during the month was 76.2 degrees, or 0.4 degrees above the normal, and 1.0 degrees above the mean of May, 4906. There were several days during which the temperature remained below normal, but the deficiency was more than offset by the excess in temperature that obtained during most of the month. Periods of relatively cool weather occurred over portions of the northern and western counties on the 12th and 13th, the 16th to 19th, the 28th to 2,9th, and on the 30th. The midday temperatures over the western district were generally below 90 degrees; the maxima over the northern and central districts, however, were more frequently above than below 90 degrees, and occasionally maxima of 95 degrees to 98 degrees were recorded. The warmest weather occurred on the 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th, and the 30th. The highest temperature during the month was 99 degrees, and the maximum for -May since the climatological service has been established is 102 degrees.

PART 111.
Fertilizers and Feeding Stuffs
REGULATIONS GOVER-NING THE 'TAKING AND FORWARDING OF FERTILIZER OR COMMERCIAL FEEDING STUFF SAMPLES TO THE.
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE.
SECTION 15 OF THE LAWS.
Special samples of fertilizers, or commercial feedmiig stuff sent in by purchasers, under See. 9 of the laws, shaiI be drawn in the presence of two disintere, ed "-itnesses, from one or more packages, thoroughly iixed and a fair sample of the same of not less than eight ounces (one-half paund), shall be placed in a can or bottle, sealed and sent by a disinterested party to the Commissioner of Agriculture at Tallahassee. Not less than eight ounces in a tin can or bottle, will be accepted for analysis. This
rule is adopted to secure fair samples of sufficient size to make the necessary determinations, and to allow the preservation of duplicate sample in case of protest or appeal. These duplicate samples will be preserved for twG months from date of certificate of analysis.
The State Chemist is not the proper -officer to receive special samples from the purchaser. The propriety of the method of drawing and sending the samples as fixed by the law is obvious.
The drawing and sending of special samples in rare cases is in compliance with law. Samples are frequently sent in paper packages or paper boxes, badly packed, and frequently in very small quantity (less than ounce); frequently there are no marks, numbers or other means of identification. The postmark in some instances is being absent.
I would call the attention of those who desire to avail themselves of this privilege to Sections 9 and 10 of the law, which are clear and explicit.
Hereafter strict compliance with above regulations will be required. The sample must be not less than one-half ~poind. in a can or bottle, sealed -and addressed to the Commissioner of Agriculture. The sender's name awnd address must also be on the package. This rule applying to special samples of fertilizers or commercial feeding stuff.
INSTRUCTIONS TO MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS.
Each package of Commercial Fertilizer and each package of Commercial Feeding Stuff must have, securely attached thereto, a tag with the guaranteed analysis required by law, and the stamp showing the payment of the inspector's fee. This provision of the law-Section 3 of both laws-will be rigidly enforced.
Manufacturers and dealers will be required to properly tag and stamp each package of Commercial Fertilizer or Commercial Feeding Stuff under penalty as fixed in Section 6, of both laws; tags shall be attached to the top end of each bag, or head of each barrel.
INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASERS.
Purchasers are cautioned to purchase no Commercial Fertilizers or Commercial Feeding Stuff that does not bear on each package an analy sis tag with the guarantee required by law, and the stamp showing the payment of the inspector's fee. Goods not having the guarantee tag and stamp are irregular and fraudulent: the absence of the guarantee tag and stamp being evidence that the manufacturer or dealer has not complied with the law. Without the guarantee tag and stamp showing what the goods are guaranteed to contain, the purchaser has no recourse aganist the manufacturer or dealer; such goods are sold illegally and fraudulently, and are generall ' of little value. All reputable manufacturers and dealers now comply strictly with the law and regulations, by placing the guarantee tag and stamp on each package.
INSTRUCTIONS TO SHERIFFS.
The attention of sheriffs of the various counties is called to Section 3 of both laws, defining their duties, This department expects each sheriff to assist in maintaining the law and protecting the citizen- of the 'State from the imposition of fraudulent, inferior, or deficient Commercial Fertilizers or Commercial Feedina 'Stuff.
B. E. McLin.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
The following tables of average composition of Commercial Feed Stuff are compiled from the report of the Connecticut Experiment Station. They cover a large number of analyses and are fully representative of the standare composition of the various feeds in the tables. They are given for reference. Should a feed stuff vary materially from these averages, its purity may be questioned. If the "ash" content exceed to any great extent, sweepings may be suspected. If the crude fiber be excessive, oat hulls, corn cobs, rice chaff or other ligneous or fibrous materials may be suspected; while the valuable constituents, "protein," "sugar and starch," and 11fat," should not materially vary from these tables of averages, that are practically standards of comparison, for the feeds mentioned in the tables.
COPIES OF THE FERTILIZER LAW.
Citizens interested in the fertilizer and stock feed laws of the State, and desiring to avail themselves of their protection, can obtain copies free of charge by sending fl;r Fame to the Commissioncr of Agriculture.

Note-Consumers are urged 1o compare the current prices with the "Feeding Value" as shown in the tables of analysis of feed siuflT. It will be noted that Middlinas and Bran at the prices quoted are more economical than ollher feeds, which sell for more per ton and are far below the standard in value. Low grade feeds, mill offal,
38
and similar feed, are largely advertised and sell for higher prices than standards, though of much less value.
A comparison of these prices and the tables will show that price does not govern value or quality; that some of the highest priced feeds have less value than others that can be purchased for less money. The effect of the "Stock Feed Law" has already been of marked benefit to the State. A number of low grade feeds, with fancy brands, and largely advertised, have been to large extent withdrawn from the State. If consumers will carefully study the tables of analysis of various brands, and compare them with the market prices. and purchase only those that compare favorablly in quality and price, inferior feeds will soon disappear froili the State.
FACTORS FOR CONVERSION.
To convertAmmonia into nitrogen, multiply by .0.824 Ammonia into protein by. 5.15 Nitrogen into ammonia, multiply by .1.214 Nitrate of soda into nitrogen, multiply by .16.47 Nitrogen into protein by. 6.25 Bone phosphatet into phosphoric acid, multiply by 0.458 Phosphoric acid into bone phosphate, multiply by 2,184 Muriate of potash into actual potash, multiply by 0.632 Actual potash into niuriate potash, multiply by 1.5S3 Stilphate of potash into actual potash, multiply by 0.541 Actual potash into sulphate of potash, multiply by 1.85 Nitrate of potash into nitrogen, multiply by. . 0.139 Carbonate of potash into actual potash, multiply by 0.681 ActualI potash into carbonate of potash. multiply by 1.4,66; Chlorine, in "kainit," multiply potash (K20) by 2.33
For instance you buy 95 per cent, of nitrate of soda and want to know how much nitrogen is in it, multiply 95 per cent, by 16.47 you will get 15.65 per cent, nitrogen; you want to know how much ammonia this nitrogen is equivalent to, then multiply 15.65 per cent, by 1.214 and you get 18.99 per cent., the equivalent in amnnuonia.
STATE VALUES.
It is not intended by the "State valuation" to fix the price or commercial value of a given brand. The "State values" :are the market prices for the various approved chemicals and materials used in mixing or manufacturing commercial fertilizers, at the date of issuing a bulletin. or the opening of the seasonn." They may, but seldom do, vary from the market prices, and are made liberal to meet any slight advance or decline.
They are compiled from price lists and commercial rePorts by reputable dealers and journals.
The question is frequently asked: "What is 'Smith's Fruit and Vine' worth per ton?" Such a question cannot be answered categorically. By analysis, the ammonia. available phosphoric acid, and potash may lie determined. and the inquirer informed what the cost of the necessary malerial to conijound a ton of goods simila'r to ''Simitl s Friit and Vine" would be, using none but accepted and well known materials of the best qumalitv.
Stale values do not consider "trade secrets," loss on bad bills, cost of advertisements, and expenses of colleclections. The "State value" is simply that price al which the various ingredients necessary lo use in componnding a fertilizer can le po'chascd for cash in ton lots at i'lo id( scl ports.
These prite lists in one, live and ten lots, are published in this report, wvith he "Slate values'" for 19117 dedimmel therefrom.
STATE VALUATIONS.
For Available and Insoluble Phosphoric Acid. Ammonia
and Potash for the Season of 1907.
Available Phosphoric Acid . 5 cents a pound Insoluble Phosphoric Acid . 1 cent a pound Ammnonia (or its equivalent in nitrogen)16J- cents a pound Potash (as actual potash. K20) . 5,1 cents a pound
If calculated by unitsAvailable Phosphoric Acid . $1.00 per unit Insoluble Phosphoric Acid . 20 cents per unit Ammonia. (or its equivalent in nitrogen) . .$3.30 per unit Polash . $1.10 per unit
With a uniform allowance of $1.50 per ton for mixing and bagging.
A unit is twenty pounds, or 1 per cent. in a ton. We find this to be the easiest and quickest method for calculating the value of fertilizer. To illustrate this take for example a fertilizer which analyzes as follows: Available Phosphoric Acid . .6.22 per cent.x$1.00- 6.22 Insoluble Phosphoric Acid . .1.50 per cent.x .20- .30 Ammonia . 3.42 per cent.x 3.30-11.28 l'olsh . 7.23 per cent.xl.10- 7.95 M ixing , and oo ing . - 1.50
Commercial value at sea ports . 27.25
Or a fertilizer analyzing as follows:
Available Phosphoric Acid . 8 per cent.x$t.00-$8.00 Ammonia . 2 per cent.x 3.30- 6.6i0 Potash . 2 per cent.x 1.10- 2.20 Mixing and bagging . 1.50
'ommercial value at sea ports . 18.30
The above valuations are for cash for materials delivered at Florida seaports, and they can be bought in one ton lots at these prices at the date of issuing this Bulle lin. Where fertilizers are bought at interior points, the additional freight to that point must be added.
If purchased in car load lots for cash, a reduction of (en per cent. can be made in above valuations, i. e. Available Phosphoric Acid . 90 cents per unit I' tash (K20) . 99 cents per unit 'Amnonia (or equivalent in nitrogen). $2.97 per unit
The valuations and market prices in succeeding illustIrations, are based on market prices for one ton lots.
SPECIAL SAMPLES.
It is shown by the number of "Special Samples" i(those sent in direct by the purchaser of fertilizersl that tfn law is 1becomiug more generaoliv understood hiy the farmer. fruit and vegetable grower. PIurchasers who have anr reason to doubt the co'rectness of the guarantee on the goods furnished them, do not hesitate to send in samples for analysis.
This right to have a sample of the goods iurchaseit anal yzed by the State ('hemist. under S,tion 9 of the law
-without charge lIe inspection fees covering time 'i ,st of analysis, as well as inspection has doulitless had a di rect influence upon the increased qimlit.v of tho goods sioll in the State. "'hen property drawn, sealed, witnessed and transmitted, the "Special Sample" has proved a safe guard to the customer, legitimate dealer, and uianufac turer, and a check upon the careless, ignorant, or fraud lent vendor or manufacturer.
It furnishes the eoisume cilr iih I.l ,,' prol(.ti0in dicnanded by the manufacturer, who buys h is materials on 1y upon the guarantee, and pays for Ilc(n according! to analysis.
By far the largest amount of commercial fertilizers used in Florida, are manufactured or mixed by factories iu the State. Large amounts of fertilizing materials are imported direct by factories and (lea lers lo'aliid al our seaport cities; cargoes of potash salts direct from Germany are now frequently received by Florida importers, while large amounts of acid phosphate are nanufactcured at and exported from time various Gulf and Aflantic ports.
Florida consumers may now purchase their fertilizers and chemicals at Florida seaports as cheaply as at any of the seaports of the country.
On a preceding page a table of the "Average Comosi lion of Commercial Feed Stuffs" will be found. The consumer should study this table, select the foods best suited to his demands-price of course considered-see that the "Guarantee" on the package he purchases compares favorably with the average in the table, and if doubtful of the truth of the statement on the "Guarantee" send at once a sample of the suspected material to the Commissioner of Agriculture at Tallahassee. Send one-half pound in a "tin can, sealed," as provided by law.
LIGHT WEIGHT-FALSE STATEMENTS.
Some complaint has been made recently as to failure to furnish full weight as guaranteed.
In one case of light weight cotton seed meal, discovered by the Inspector, the goods were sold by the sheriff, as provided by law.
Other cases have been reported, particularly "kainits."
The public, dealers and consumers, are cautioned to examine their purchases, and in case of doubt, have the casks weighed at the railroad station, or at the ware house-reporting deficiencies in weight if found to exist, with names of sellers, manufacturers and witnesses to the weigh1i(g and other facts and circumstances. This applies to fertilizers and feeding stuff-(also to grain and other articles).
The department is desirous of maintaining the standard of both quality and quantity as expressed in the guarantee, and to this end requests the active co-operation of all citizens.
A false saleient of weight on grain or feed is a misdeuieanor, and subjects the seller to fine or imprisonment, or both, under Chapter 4967 (No. 92) Acts of 1901. Also the sale of light weight fertilizer and feed stuff subjects the seller to a fine and forfeiture of the goods, under the Fertilizer and Feed Stuff Laws.

For values see heading "State Values."
NoTE.-This department is not aware of the source of the goods, or the names of manufacturers of "Special Samples" sent in by purchasers. Dealers frequently send in samples of goods for examination before purchasing. A "Special Sample" sent in by a dealer or manufacturer hence is not an evidence that the goods are offered by him for sale. The "Official Sanples" taklen by the State Chemist, or his assistant, on following pages, state the name of the goods and the manufacturers, the guaranteed analysis, and the amount of fertilizing ingredients found by the State Chemist.
Mositure not determined in samples sent in paper or wood boxes.
Tobacco stems and tobacco dust contain some phosphoric acid, but it is bought for the potash and ammonia content. Cotton seed meal contains some phosphoric acid and some potash, but is bought for the ammonia content.
Where only the insoluble phosFhoric acid is given in the table, it has been determined as total phosphoric acid.
Not less than eight ounces (I pound) is required for a "Special Sample."
Special attention is called to the "Caution to Purchasers of Cotton Seed Meal" on another page. This adulterated meal is sold as bright or prim, meal--though the guarantee is but 4 per cent. of Ammonia-it is evidently adulterated with rice hulls, its value is but little more than half that of prime meal.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, DIVISION OF CHEMISTRY. R. E. Rose, State Chemist, ANALYSIS OF FERTILIZERS, 1905, L. Heimburger, Assistant Chemist.
Samples taken by State Chemist under Section 1, Act approved May 22, 1901.

SPECIAL NOTICE-The attention of dealers and consumers, is called to the table of "average composition of Feed Stuffs" on a preceding page. This table shows approximately the composition of the various feed stuffs sold throughout the country. Any material variation, from these averages, is presumptive evidence of impurity or adulteration.
A careful examination of the foregoing tables is recommended to both dealers and consumers. The guarantee of the manufacturer, should not vary materially from this table of average while the "official analysis" should show practically the same composition as the guarantee. Dealers and consumers, are requested in all cases of suspected inferiority, or adulteration to send a sample at once to the Commissioner of Agriculture for analysis.
Miscellaneous
The following address by Prof. P. 11. Rolf, Director of "The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station and President of the Florida Horticultural Society, should be read by every Farmer and Fruit Grower of Florida. In addition to his eminent scientific knowledge, Professor Rolfs possesses in a high degree the practical knowledge of Agriculture and Horticulture, so necessary for one who teaches. This address needs no explanation from me and no excuse for its reproduction in the Florida Agricultural Bulletin.
While it was delivered to a Horticultural Socity,it is equally applicable to an Agricultural audience, Horticulture being only the elder daughter of agriculture, with a few more "frills and furbelows" of a modern youngg lady," still she is of the rugged old stock of tillers of the soil, and is able to teach many of the "farmers" of the State important lessons. Every tiller of the soil, farmer, or agriculturist, if you please, "cotton grower, "tobacco grower," "stock grower, potatoo grower, "pineapple" or "orange grower," should become a member of the "Florida Horticultural Society." If for no other reason than to receive a copy of the Annual Report of the Society, a report now acknowledged to be one of the most valuable, practical, as well as scientific works now published. It is to be hoped that more formers or horticulturists--all agriculturists- will join this organization for mutual benefit and for the unbuilding of the profession.
R. E. ROSE.
Tallahassee, June, 1907.
Address of President P. H. Rolfs, to the Twentieth Annual Meeting of this Organization, May 14, 1907.
Before presenting the address to the twentieth meeting of the Florida State Horticultural Society, allow me to congratulate the people of St. Petersburg on the splendid
success they have attained in building this beautiful city. It is only the periodic visitor to Your city that notes the improvement and progress. Those wxho call for the first time never know it to be different, and those who are here always see the changes go on so gr adually that it is rather a development than a mnetamorphosis. 1 wish also to congratulate the Pinellas Orange Growers' Association on the frequent and instructive meetings they have held. This young association will make its presence knoim and felt before the State Society adjourns.
Amid all of these congratulations, we feel deep down in our hearts the absence of our genial president, whose invaluable advice has guided us. Always ready as a peacemaker; foremost among the progressive: just entering upon a wider and more useful life for his county and State. Personally, it is a loss of a kind friend and an able counsellor. To the society it is an irreparable loss. In this hour, when the shadow is over us. we cannot see the design. We can only bow our heads in meek submission, and meekly say, "Thy will be done." I would urge every member of the society to read again his masterly address which came to us as a parting advice. Let me quote one paragraph fro this address, which sums up the whole thought in a rounded expression:
"I have felt strongly impelled at this meeting to press upon your attention these important matters. To give vent to the thought that has been growing in my mind for some years, that the most vital and far-reaching questions now calling for solution by Florida producers were not cultural questions, but commercial; not planting, but marketing; not fertilizing, but transportation. Let us think about these things, talk about these. study them. conquer them. If this thought, talk and study take not the form of action then we have labored in vain."
Those of the Florida Horticultural Society who are favored with information on the commercial side of horticulture, especially with marketing and transportation,
-should come forward' and discuss these problems. just as our chemists have come forward Year by tear and given us the best their laboratories and brains afforded. The botanists, the entomologists, and the plant breeders, all have placed before us information that required years of
toil and untold disappointments, until our reports are quoted and looked up to as standards, even in far-off India and New Zealand. What we need is a careful, concise and methodical study of this subject from the commercial point of view. Professor Tenny will present to us a paper dealing with some scientific features connected with transportation. Why can we not have an equally able paper discussing this from a commercial point of viewv?
I have confidence in the ability of this society to study and master all problems connected with successful fruit growing. Almost from its birth has it taken up problems for discussion and study that would have been ,onsidered heretical by the old school horticulturists. The society has certainly shown its adaptability to new conditions as they arose.
Chemistry, one of the oldest sciences, was among Ike first to be laid under tribute by the advanced horticulturist. At one time it was thought that all causes for crop failure, excepting those arising from climatic conditions, could be discovered by an analysis of the soil. Hence we were taught that a chemical analysis of the soil would tell us exactly what elements were lacking, and what elements were present in too great abundance. The small amount of truth upon which these assertions were based gave sufficient grounds for volumnious articles to be written in a most lucid language. Unfortunately, the most voluminous writers were deficient in scientific training, and roficient in literary work. These men were unable to understand the restricting langnage in which the scientists had stated their proposition. Conseqently, they builded up wonderful theories and hypotheses, all of which had to fall befause their major premise was only partially correct. Unfortunately for the true scientist and the receptive reader, it is frequently impossible for the lay reader to distinguish between sc ientific fact and scientific fancy. The whole structure, the scientific as well as the fanciful, fell into disrepute. This condition led to such terms as "Book Farmers," "Theoretical Farmers," "Newsp-aper Farmers."
"Truth crushed to earth shall rise again. The eternal years of God are hers."
After clearing away the debris, the foundation of truth stood there firm and immovable. We have learned not to trust in the flimsy paper structure that some still try to erect. The basis truths founded in the science of chemistry are so much a part of our knowledge now that there is no horticulturist in my hearing but would rise in just indignation should any legislator introduce a bill to the abolitition of the office of State Chemist. There are still many discourses written which are purported to be founded on facts from the science of chemistry. Usually these discourses imperfectly veil their advertising nature. In addition to advertising essays, we have the pseudochemical and pseudo-horticultural essays constantly thrust upon us. These are often a serious menace to our progress. They usually contain a few grains of truth in a stack of chaff.
One of the most recent departures from the old school horticulture is the study of soil physics, or the study of the soil from the standpoint of a physicist. At first thought it would seem difficult to form any connection between pure physics and horticulture, but chemistry as a science coneerns itself with the composition and materials that make up the soils, while physics concerns itself about the make up and conditions under which these various materials are found. The border land of these two sciences overlay one another from the realm of chemistry on the one hand, and from the realm of physics on the other hand and find savants from both kingdoms rightfully encamped on the same ground. Battles for the mastery of these overlapping fields sometimes occur, resulting in loss of time, and sometimes loss of temper; all of which is a loss to horticulture and should not be tolerated. There is really no harm in exploring a field from as many points of view as possible, and frequently a very great gain to all concerned. The able address before this society last year by Professor Blair shows how little wre actually know about what goes on in the soil from a physical point of view. We had all along felt that there was a considerable loss of fetilizer from the soil, due to leaching, but had been told repeatedly by trustwvorthy witnesses that potash and phosphoric acid became fixed in the soil. It is now demonstrated from a physicist's point of view that a considerable amount of fertilizer is
actually washed out and carried into the static water in thesoil, from which it is impossible to reclaim any considerable portion.
The chemist has told us faithfully what he found inhis crucible. The physicist is likewise telling us how differently natural and inert materials behave in the soil. How the water moves; what effect different elements produce in the soil when applied; but all of this still leaves us in the dark as to what role different living subjects play in the economy of plant growth.
For the solution of these problems we shall have to look to the soil bacteriologist and botanist. I need here only to mention the rather recent work that has been done on the nitrifying organism, or the organisms which enable leguminous plants to make use of the atmospheric nitrogen.
We have here three distinct sciences-chemistry, phvsics and botany-which are each laboring actively to subdue the same realm, the soil. These threehowever much they may discover, will not complete the work for us. What we shall need when these three have secured the vast store of scientific information locked up in the soil, is the psychological botanist to tell us what effect a variation of iliese factories has on our cultivated crops. Of what use is it to raise an orange that turns even the stomach of an insect, or to raise a variety of celery that has such a thick epidermis that even a fungus cannot rAerce it ?
There probably never has been a meeting of this society during which the question of fertilizers was not discussed, and it is to be hoped that thissociety will not let the question rest until all superstition and misconceptions have been cleared away. This ideal state will not be reached, however, until we know more about our soil; until we know more about the needs of our plants. What we believe as true of certain elements today, may tomorrow be proven to be a fallacy; and our beliefs of tomorrow may likewise on the following day be shown to be incorrect. Let me cite a single illustration. uring the early history of our 'society, we found earnest and eloquent advocates of the use if ground rock phosphates as a fertilizer for citrus trees. These advocates have either been
converted to the use of soluble phosphates, or have been silenced. Ground rock is no longer being actively advocated by anyone. Now comes Prof. H. J. Patterson, director of the Maryland Experiment Station. He used nine different chemical fertilizers as sources of phosphoric acid-all that are ordinarily found on the markets. Included in this list is acid lhosphate, dissolved bone black, bone black, raw bone meal, and Florida soft phosphate. The plots were laid off in the regular form as is usual for such work. The same chemical being applied year after year since 1895 to each plot, making eleven years of continuous use of the same chemical on each particular plot. Now comes the most startling part, his conclusions. rwo of them are of special interest to us. The third of his conclusions is that, "Insoluble phosphates produce a slightly higher total average yield than soluble phosphates, and at about one-half the cost." The sixth of his conclusions is that "Florida soft phosphate produced the best yield of corn." Let us not, however, conclude that the use of insoluble phosphates is the best for us. In these experiments annual plants alone were used, and the soil upon which the fertilizer was applied was clayey, and for the most part contained considerable humnus. The conditions, therefore, are not exactly the same as ours; but these experiments do show us the necessity for careful scientific work, even on subjects that we regard as closed questions. Wheeler and Adams. of the Rhode Island Experiment Station. working under different conditions, find that ground rock, on floats. are the best form of phosphates for squash and better than any of the soluble or treated phosphates for corn.
The question of combating insects and of controlling diseases is as old as the fertilizer question, and both are older than our society. We have published valuable contributions on both of these subjects annually. Whatever we have attempted has been carried to a full and creditable consummation. Every year we have advanced slowly but surely. Sometimes our speakers have been a little too far ahead of the average, but the foremost have usually been abreast with the leaders. One of the leaders has not had a spraying machine in his grove for years. Last year there was a large exodus from the camp of sprayers to the camp of those who use the natural enemies
for combatting scale insects. We must look upon the use of spraying materials for controlling insects and fungus enemies as temporary expedients, which for the most part under our present knowledge are avoidable. in certain cases it is absolutely necessary to spray in order that we may avert certain failure, but we are gradually learning how to keep our groves and vegetable fields from getting into such distressing conditions.
The natural method of combatting scale insects is meeting with the most flattering success, and can be economically applied. It is far cheaper to keep, a grove from becoming affected with dieback than to cure the disease. Many diseases and insects cannot be treated in a similar way economically, because we have not Yet learned enough about them. The cottony cushion scale, which at one time seriously threatened the sub-peninsula, has been reduced to a negligible quantity by introducing the Vedalia cardinalis, an Austrian lady bird. California spent thousands of dollars in attempting to subdue this pest by artificial means.
It is our province as a society to teach every member of this association what to grow and how to produce the best of everything. The old adage that, "There's plenty of room at the top," was never more true than it is in horticulture today. The man who markets the best prodoct never has to complain of poor prices. It takes brains to do this, and brains will count whenever they are correctly applied. Some time ago we had a call from a gentleman from Michigan who controlled capital, according to his representations. He. was in Florida with a view of investing and had visited every vegetable growing and fruit growin- section, and closed his visit to the State by calling at the Experiment Station. We discussed the various crops. Citrus growing, in his opinion, was Dot desirable, since it took a long time to get returns from the investment, and then he was also told that the white fly attacked the trees. Peach growing was also discussed, but that was given up because the peach trees had to be fertilized. One crop after another was passed in review, every one having some weak point. Celery growing lie considered to be remunerative, but he had seen some field., destroyed by blight. Finally lie said what he wanted
was to learn of some crop that would not be frozen out; that did not need to be fertilized; that was free from insect attack and fungus infection. He was very confident that this information could be given him at the Experiment Station, and so came to get it. The director told him that this was a very easy proposition and advised the man to plant saw palmettoes. I do not want any vegegatable or fruit that is not relished even by a bug, or one too tough to be attacked by fungus, or loo hard to freeze. Give me the pineapple that has to be packed in excelsior to keep, it from being squashed in transit; give me the orange that has to be scraped with a woodenbladed knife to keep from injuring the peel; give me the cauliflower that has to be wrapped in tissue paper.
Horticulture is affected more or less by nearly every science, and by nearly every art. Every walk in life is affected by the horticulture of the country, and in turn as we are able to take the advantage of & best of everything, we will be able to prosper. During some periods, our greatest needs lie in the direction of better methods for controlling insects. At other times, information on disease is needed most urgently. At one time we were in great need of information on fertilizers. It seems to me that what we are now needing most of all is information that will enable us to put our crop s into the hands of the consumer at the least possible cost. We need a sort of horticultural political economy.
