| WHAT FLORIDA NEEDS, AND WHAT SHE CAN
OFFER.
! To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: have been residing few months in
Florida and convinced that what this portion Of the
South most needs is capital and weldireeted enterprise
TO develop it, This State is quite parsely populated If
Florida contained thirty times the population she has at
present she would be crowded she needs therefore,
industrious and enerprsng emgrants IN order that her
may be developed. The planting Of the black
seed cotton to the attention Of most
IN this State and although crops unusually light
the mat vear owing 10 the heavy fall OF rains In the Sum-
mer and the rayages Of the caterpillar In the Fall, yet
the planters not dsprted for many OF them purpose
natn more largely of cotton than they have formerly
done The sugarcane is successfully raised in any
ton Of the State and 1t is the opinion OF some who have
planting more profitable than that OF cotton Tobacco
may DO cultivated successfully in Florida. Tho soil Is
better adapted to the Spanish tobacco than any other
portion Of the country In addition to these tropical
fruits flourish here Many OF the cotton planters, on
account OF the difficulty OF obtaining labor turning
their attention to the raising OF these tropical fruits
