By JAMES WADDELL After spending a few days with pleasure and profit at Palm Beach, -we continued our trip by way of Miami. Fort Launerdale being about half way, we stopped for a few hours to call on a party who has relatives in Port Perry. The town is situated on the mouth of the New River about two miles from the ocean, This river is about ninety feet deep at Fauderdale and is thé outlet of one of the great canals which are run up to Lake Qkeechobee, : I might here state the reason why the Government is dredging those canals. This lake is the second largest in the United States, and if I i pm informed rightly, it is fifty-three feet higher than the.ocean. ~ In the season it overflows and deluges millions of acres of land--part of what is calfed the Everglades of Florida, The canals are made for the purpose-of lowering the water ini the lake and letting it down to the ocean. Three of the canals have tapped the lake already, and another is being dredged. ' They have lowered the water eighteen: feet, and have ~made thousands of acres fit for cultivation--formerly covered with water. 'This is the best land in Florida, being a black mold from 5: to. 20 feet deep, 1 would have liked to have bought a few 3 of it, but it is not for sale except to actual settlers. However, I did not feel like taking up my sesidence in the Everglades as yo. We atrived at Miami in-dve time: It is called the White City-- everything in it is white, even' the streets, which are covered with a white clay. It is seventeen years since the first train entered, Miami; and the population is 17,000. Here the land of Florida takes on a different formation, being a porous rock with white clay on top. The section is famed for its fine grapefruit--said to be the best in the world. In planting out a grape- fruit grove, they stake off the land in squares, same as we would stake out an orchard. Next they blast a hole in the rock with dynamite. Then they pick out the loose rock, and fill the hole with clay which they bave scraped from the 'top of the part surrounding the hole. The little tree planted; and as it grows it sends its fine rootlets down into the porous rock, and flourishes abundantly. Some of the finest groves we saw were planted in this kind of soil. Miami is situated on the Miami River and the Biscayne Bay. This Bay 1s a lovely sheet of water, and a good and safe harbor for ocean steamers. It is a great place for boating with gasoline launches and ferry boats. The bay seems to be alive with boat craft the whole day long. This water is several miles wide opposite the city, but about a mile above the city it narrows down to two and a half miles, and is spanned by a wooden bridge built on piles. We crossed over on the ferry boat to the Ocean Beach, but it is not to be compared to Palm Beach. The city itself is much finer--better buildings and better streets. In road making there are great natural advantages. There is a kind of marl clay, which makes first-class road material. It is dug out of the ground like gravel. When it is spread on the road, after the first rain, it dries out and sets like cement. Roads constructed in this man- ner are splendid for automobile traffic, and as the country is perfectly level, travelling in this manner is very pleasant. Miami Fair was in progress while we were in the city, and there was a splendid display of the products of the soil. We enjoyed the exhibit very much, although building was so small that the exhibits could not be well arranged. All kinds of tropical fruit and vegetation were to be seen, including a bunch of dates as big as a bushel basket. In a large jardiniere there was an eighteen months old grapefuit tree, bearing a grapefuit as big as a five-inch bowl, and perfectly mature. It would take: far too much space to describe all we saw of the products of the Everglades. One day a party of us engaged a sight-seeing car and a guide, and were taken out into the country a distance of some thirty miles. We 'enjoyed the trip so well that we engaged the same car and guide next day to take us'just as far in the opposite direction. On this second ¥ trip we saw a nine hundred acre pineapple plantation, 'With another 100 acres in preparation which would bring it up to 1000. Pineapple plantations are set out in the following manner. First . the land must be cleared of pine trees, stumps and palmetto hummocks. Then 'it is broken and sown with a crop of velvet beans, which are allowed to grow to a height of two feet, and then ploughed in together with an arificial fertilizer, the total cost of 'preparation being about $80: plant are set out, and each plant will produce one pinapple per year for "without further fertilizing. Wien the pineapples are first set.
