But it seems to be or- dained that in Florida a fertile soil and a salubrious atmosphere shall not often abide in company, and these devices are the price we of the piney woods pay (not unwillingly) for our perfect health. LAWTEY, Fla. CALIFORNIA'S ALKALINE SOIL. An Ever-Present and Increasing Obstacle to Farming. BY J. G. KNAPP. One scarcely passes west of the Missis- sippi and Missouri rivers before he will see tracts of land covered with a whitish substance, which has a bitter, saline taste, and the dust arising from such ground corrodes the skin and inflames the eyes, nose and mouth, and excites great thirst. Water standing on such places, though comparatively clear,is un- palatable, always sickening and some- times causing death. When the rust of the soil is broken through, it presents a dark clay, but produces only a scant vegetation of coarse grass and plants adapted to growths in a saline earth. This material is known by'the general name of "Alkali." It -is a mixture of salts, compounded largely of sulphate, carbonate and chloride of sodium(glauber salt, washing soda and common salt), all of which are poisonous to most vege- tation. In a few instances sulphate salts of potash, lime and magnesia, and oc- casionally nitrate and phosphate of soda,. occur. These last are the only fertilizing salts ever found in alkalies. All these salts of the alkali are rolub'e in water; and where pure water is abun- dant and irrigation possible, with abun- dant drainage, it is possible to wash them dut of the soil,- and fertility be gained for such lands. But such a course is often impossible from the situation of the place to be redeemed, and from the want of a sufficient supply of pure or nearly pure water. But even where the situation and water supply are all that could be desired, the irrigation will be inefficient, perhaps impossible, by such irrigation as would be productive of crops of grains, grasses or other farm products. This condition may be traced to .the ct that not only the surface of the place is charged with the poisonous salts, but the sub-soil and earth to an unknown Depth is also charged with the same salts, and these in their turn are drawn to and , deposited upon the surface, by the action of the water intended to carry then* away; and thus instead of redeeming these alkaline lands their areas-have , been enlarged, without diminution of the quantity, at the original location. ; Whether this has happened in any of a the States or territories of the United t States, or if it has happened, been ob- served and the fact recorded, I will not a undertake to say; but in Mexico and SCentral America, where irrigation has s bee in cultivation of crops during q the long droughts that prevail, such in- - stances are not uncommon; -and very striking examples are given of such in- ) crease of alkali in the districts of Oudi s and Punjaub in India by irrigation in , attempts to rear crops on alkali soils Geologists are pretty well agreed thai 6 these salts were deposited in the soil and t. subsoil during the cretaceous und early tertiary periods of the earth's existence. I. and while these lands were covered with I the seas of those periods, aid they have - ot been washed out by the immense E rains that fell east of the Mississippi dur- i ing the quarternary period, freeing this region from alkalies. A strong argu- e ment may be drawn front the alkaline s soils to the west, that since a very re- , mote period, these .regions have beei e affected by an intel continental and arid climate; although there may occur cloud e bursts, cutting out the canyons. and t melting away the adobe soils, rendered - more susceptible by the alkali contained * yet, there is no prospect of such an in * crease of rains as may render irrigation d unnecessary to cultivation, or wish the r poisonous ingredients from the soil. e Though Florida has no portion of iti s soil poisoned by alkali, and there is noth t ing to fear on that score, it may be o: - interest to Floridians to know what they t have escaped, and what they have in k herited in their sands; and what the ag riculturist of California must foreve: e encounter in the race of competition in l their cultivations. Sands may be lean , mn the elements for plant life, but ax Abundant supply of vegetable matter which these may produce in a few years With our good supply of rains, will giv Stem fatness; and Floridians should no n complain, but rather thank God for their n inheritance of sand freed from the curse e of alkali. S Some idea of effects of alkali may be 1 gleaned from the report of Prof. E. W d Hillgard of the University ef California o I have now only space to quote a fev - sentences from his report upon the "al f kali soils and irrigation waters of Cali o fornia." He says: "The immediate source of the alkali is. usually to be Sound in the soil water, which rising t from below and evaporating at the sur e face, deposits there whatever of dissolve y matter it may contain. For since th I soil, acting like a wick, draws up the y soil-water and allows it to evaporate a 1 the surface, it is therd, of coursethat al i the dissolved matters accumulate, unti the solutioU becomes so strong as to in- jure or kill all useful vegetation. The injury will usually he found to be most severe just at or near the crown of the root, where the stem emerges from the soil." The Professor sees no relief, but rather an increase, in irrigation by the waters of the rivers and artesian wells, as they all contain more or less alkali. / THE TOBACCO CROP. A Columbia County Planter's System of Management. "Just when the Georgia and Plorida farmers are ready to branch out into to- bacco culture," says the Southern Cjdti-. vator, "the tobacco-growers of Kentucky are calling a convention for the purpose of reducing the acreage in that State. The same depression is felt in Virginia,' North Carolina and Tennessee, and, few farmers have paid out the past year on their tobacco crop. In South Carolina the most of the experiments last year were unsuccessful." There are special inducements in Flor- ida to stimulate an interest in tobacco culture, and according to reports a large crop of the "weed" has been put in this spring. The result cannot be expected to be as favorable as if Virginians had, the management of it, yet there are many farmers in the central northern counties who hawv had long experienqp with this crop. One of these is David L. Geer, of Columbia county, who contrib- utes to the Lake City Reporter the fol- lowing instructions on general manage- ment : THE SEED BED. In order to finish the first crop before the rainy season, seed should be planted during the latter part of De 'ember or the first of January. Select a spot in new ground, not too wet nor too dry. A bed ten feet square is large enough for one acre,and requires a half ounce of seed. Rake perfectly cleap. Pile some logs or brush on the bed and burn them. Do not burn the land much, only enough to destroy the sourness After burning, while t.e land is yet warm, put some cotton seed on the bed and -rake them with the ashes into the ground about three inches deep, taking, out all sticks "and trash. -For every acre you intend to plant you will need to have an ounce of seed. Mix the seed with ashes and sow them over the entire bed. Sweep the ground lightly with.& broom to *cover the seed.' Then press the surface with a roller, or by walking over it. Cover, with brush to protect the young and tender plants from the rain. If you plant seed in January, you will have nearly three months to prepare the land for transplanting. THE LAND. A ny land that is not "drownedtjout" wilr make good tobacco. If you fertil- ize, let it be with material on the farm or cotton seed meal. Cotton-seed meal ia thb best, Fertilizing increases the yield of tobacco, but a satisfactory crop can be made 'without fertilizing. The land must be thoroughly cleaned up, all roots and trash taken off. A month be- Sfore transplanting about the first of March, throw two furrows together, with a turning plow. It is best to do this c so as to'allow the rain to pack the , ground. Let the rows be three or' four " feet apart, you may.check them if you desire. A little cotton seed meal or ' stable fertilizers dropped into the check I 7 l greatly increase the yield. TRANSPLANTING. TransplaAt about the first of April, or as soon as the danger of frost is over. Do Snot wait for rain to transplant, but if necessary set out the plants in the even- ing and water them, covering them with moss-or palmetto. . To set out the plant take a stick about I five-inches long and about an inch' and a quarter in diameter, the end must not t be sharp. but rounding so as to make the impression on the list Take the -stick in the right hand and the plant in the left, make a hole, fill it with water Sif the ground .be not wet enough, press w ith the stick against the rootlets of the plant. One good hand can set- out :an acre a day. i CULTIVATION APRIL 1 TO JULY 1. After danger of frost is over trans- e plant and as soon as the plants are - found to live it is best to go over* the patch with a weeding hoe, taking out d- whatever grass there may be. - ; Then take a sweep and run through d -the.rows ; if you check, you can rur 1 both wavs. ; Tobacco requires the same cultivation - as corn or cotton, onlyjt should be done 1 more lightly. S- wORMS. ABOUT MAY 1. You must look out for the budworm, It is best to kill the fly that makes the worm. Build the fires in the evening or , stumps or scaffolds throughout the _ field. TOPPING, ABOUT JUNE 15. r When the tobacco is three or four feet n high the seedpod may appear. When it n does appear, pinch it off; then watch fo] n suckers. They must-be prevented fromni , growing as the quality of the tobacco. . Leave one sucker at the bottom for s e sucker crop; keep all the others broker t off. r Keep the plants clear of worms, pici e them off and transplate on them. RIPENING FROM JUNE 15 TO JULY 1. e When the tobacco is ripe the leaf will " acquire a yellowish color in spots, and " when it is folded over between the Fingers it will break off. Some stalks . will be ripe before others. - CUTTING ABOUT JULY ,1. e When you find the stalk is ripe take g a sharp knife and split the stalk dowr - through the middle to within four inches d of the ground, and cut it off close to the e You can do both these things in twc t quick strokes, holding the stalk in the 1 downward to within a few inches o0 TI~EJ the bottom, then another stroke across the bottom and let the stalk go. Let it lie in the sun till it wilts, probably half an hour. CURING. Do not allow it to .remain in the sunshine longer than an hour at the farthest; it would sunburn and be in- jured. You will need long cords in your barn stretched across. Lay the stalks astride of these by means of split. The object. of this is to allow as fr. e circulation of air around the tobacco as possible. Do not ruin ypur tobacco. by building fires under it. Just let it hang in peace till the stalks and stems have become perfectly dry. When the rainy season sets in, and the tobacco absorbs moisture to such an- extent that it will not break, take the, whole stalks down and pile them like cord wood in heaps on the floor. Cover with any old clothes or bagging. The. longer it lies in this state the better it. becomes, but from four to six weeks will do. PICKING OFF THE LEAVES, AUGUST 1 Pick off the leaves from the stalk, laying.-aide those which are free from worm holes, as they will command a higher price. Put a dozen leaves with the stems to- gether like bundling fodder; take one of them, pass it around the others near the stem end and tie it. Then fill a white pine box with these little bundless; pack it down tightly; nail the cover on; and it is ready for the dealer. I will give further instruction in due time. - About Liquid Manure. Editor Florida Farmer and ruit--Groer: In your issue for March 23, "C. H. G" speaks of "Fquid fertilizers." He is mis- taken about them. Stable manure, or night soil does not yield any soluble plant food until decomposition is well advanced, and they can be immersed in water for five years without any danger of their decomposing. d A small amount of ammonia and min- eral salts are obtained from the urinal portions only, Ind aside from these, the results he*obseFved -were obtained by the watering alode.
