And I may be pardoned for assum- ing to write with some small meas- ure of authority, having grown the Burbank variety for.three and a half years in this State and on a scale exceeding that of any other man. Messrs. Optimism and Pess| are much in evidence in this agifa- tion. The California: enthusiast of the former class, and evil Yollows close on his hecls, bécause hov8s- sumes that Florida is as good a'fiéld for cactus culture as his home gtate. Motives are not now assailed, cerity is assumed. Aeroplane counts of immence tonnage per acre, each year—fifteen hundred tons in one instance—are narrated to the astonished listners.

One news- paper admits to its pages the state-| ment that Burbank's spineless cac- tus shows a ‘“‘greater growth in Florida than in California,” and this upon the experience of one man who has growu about seven leaves dur- ing four months. Burbank himself has an acre of cactus producing one hundred tons each year, and ‘on “any hot day in June” producing a ton of green feed. Who will believe | can do better than this in Florida, because my seven leaves, during fowr months, have made remarkable growth! Moreover, the spottiness or variableness of Floyida soil cuts no figure with many of these cactus enthusiasts who promise their hun- dreds of tons per acre each year in any old place, under any sort of con- ditions. Indeed, the ‘‘poorer the soil the better the growth,” etc. All this is unwarrantably extreme, add to be received with a good pinch ot salt. Angd, per contra, Mr. Pessimist is an unreliable leader or adviser. Truly none is so blind as those who will not see. “Can any good thing come out of cactus?” indicates their attitude. For miyhy gpnerations the cattle in Mexiog, sbuthern Arizona and Texas have beefi fed wild cac- tus by thousands of tons, the spines first being bhurnt off. Cattle dealers and dairymen in galore testify disinterestedly and make aflidavits to the effect that pigs thrive and grow fat, cows in- crease by nearly forty per cent., their milk flow, steers fatten satisfactor- ily for the best markets, chickens, turkeys, goats, Ahec'p and other her- bivorous kind, do well on cactus diet, especially when supplemented with small gquantities of more con- densed feed, yet these doubting Thomases see nothing worth while in cactus, and dog in the manger- like, strive to discourage all efforts 'to discover, by disinterested methods if.nature has indeed favored us wlhl‘ another useful product. It a local effort to grow cactus! e Lyric ‘ Tonight - Daniel Frohman Presents Bruce McRa IN i | Admission 10 and 15 Cents ; Gentle reader, let me point out to you a more excellent way. 1 plead for an attitude toward this new product of willingness to be convine- ed—from Missouri, if you please-— but an openness to all well certified data, that spineless cactus is a thing |worth while, with positive a valua- ble food propefties, a commodity every dairmany and stockman might wish to see growing in increasing acreage on his land—are indisput- able facts, patent to all who wish to know and will take the trouble to inform themselves. Study, however to read betwen the lines and be dis- criminate in your acceptation of “facts” so caled, freely set forth by the man who has something to sell. Profit by experience. Do you con- template a trial of spineless cactus? Get in touch with the man who has had the most experience and learn his impartial judgment. If certain varieties do better here than others buy those, either from California or iyrelnmhly from the nursery where they have become acclimated. 1 say this, because I know after three years' study that some vari- ties of the Burbank product do bet- ter here than others. Some are less liable to sunburn, others more re- 'uhunl of molsture, and therefore better suited to Florida, whose ex- ' cessive humidity is perhaps the greatest enemy cactus has to over- come in our state.

While convinced that spineless cactus will not be produced in Flor- ida as prolifically as in California, yet it will grow, believe, in good paying quantities and become a val- uable addition to our cattle forage supply. 1 sincerely hope 8o, for -while we have a ‘‘baker’s dozen" of most excellent grases and forage plants, no true Floridian would place a straw in the way of still another eood thing. Success to the cactus era, now upon us, may the good ship bring more honor to the world’s ' freatest plant wizard—ILu- ther Burbank, but to all prospec- | tive investors in Burbank spineless cactus, I am free to say, even though I am in the market to sell.
