THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT ITS
ADAPTABILITY TO SOIL OF
SOUTH GEORGIA.
WOULD BE A PAYING CROP
Cassava is another important product
®. I that can , be profitably raised in . South
I Georgia. Professor Stoekbridge of the
I Florida Experiment Station says that
I this plant, furnishes an excellent feed
t for stock as well as for man. There.are
g two species of the plant—-one known as
the sweet, the other as the bitter cassava.
The former is the one so highly recom
mended by Professor Stoekbridge.
The sweet cassava, which is already
cultivated to a considerable extent in
Florida, has this supreme advantage
I over the other species (the bitter): that
it can be fed to stock in its natural state
' L without risk of harm, but with, great
advantage. It is also a very palatable
table vegetable. : It has five-parted
leaves and longer roots, but generally
much lighter in weight than those of the
bitter cassava, which is such an impor-
tant article of commerce in Brazil and
other South American countries.
The bitter cassava should never be
used for stock, because its sap contains
the highly poisonous hydrocyanic acid.
But this plant is also a very important,
one in South America. Heat dissipates
the poisonous principle, and the concen
trated juice is used as the basis of cassa-
veep and other sauces, while from the
sliced and dried roots are produced sev
eral food preparations, as Brazilian ar
rowroot, tapioca, eta
Let it be remembered that it is the
sweet cassava that is so highly recom
mended for South Georgia. Mr. L G.
Wade of the Southern Railway com
pany, who has been to considerable
pains in investigating the adaptability
of this plant to South Georgia soil, is sat-
I isfied that it will grow as well in Geor
gia as in Florida. In oompanson with
other starch vegetables one acre of South
Georgia land will produce 4,000 pounds
of starch, while the best corn or potato
land in Illinois or Michigan can produce
only 1,200 pounds of starch to the acre
from these vegetables.
Whenever a sufficient amount of
cassava has been planted, starch facto
ries will be started, and it has been esti
mated that these will pay five dollars a
ton loaded on the cars at any station
within 100 miles of their factory. Cas-
sara is easily propagated by cuttings of «
the stem and is of rapid growth, attain
ing maturity in six months. The pro
duction is at least sixteen times that of
wheat. '
Caue and Cassava Convention.
On April 9th there will be held at f
| Brunswick, Ga., a convention of those
interested in the introduction of cassava
i cultivation into Georgia. They will
also disenss the advantages to Georgia
of a very large increase in the acreage
of sugar cane. It is their purpose to
make South Georgia a center of agri
cultural development and to promote
the locating of factories for refining su
gar and syrup, and others for making
starch and stock food.
The introduction of these new indus
tries will greatly add to the population
and wealth of Georgia.—State Agri-
Department.
