THE wOoL-GRowERs.

Hon. Columbus Delano, president OF the
Wool-Growers' Convention, delivered his
annual address at its meeting to-day, urging
protection 10 the wool industry OF the coun-
try by legislation, which will secure control
of the home market 10 American producers.
Let the nation, he said, give to wool-grow-
ers little of the aid already given to manu-.
featuring industries, and all the wool used
in this country would soon be produced
here. Without protection, he insisted,
wool-growing in the United states
must soon be abandoned, because
of its competition with foreign WOODS.
Free woods simply meant death 10
the wool industry in the United States, ana
none who prefer the interests OF this nation
10 those of foreign nations would iail 10 re.
gret so serious u blow TO our wool-growers
as free wool would inhict.

to cure the leaf, and would continue to

died and cured right afterwards to be of
value for cigar wrappers or filters. Avast
field is open to our trade. Our yearly in
crease of population gives us a steadily
increasing demand for the leaf.
Florida has only limited quantity of
land suited for tobacco, and the first par
ties to locate there will get the crt am of
the land. She will never be a competitor
of Northern seed leaf or Havana seed,
but will compete with Sumatra and Cuba.
The acreage and development OF tobacco
culture in Florida will necessarily be slow
compared to the wants and needs of the
market, and it is a question if she ever
produces enough to seriously affect the
market prices Of either Sumatra or Cuba
leaf and if such should prove to be fact
then Florida would rule high in price,
making it still more remunerative to the
growers of it. There is no good reason
why Florida should not furnish us with
all the wrappers for allthe ''clear Havana"
cigars made in this country, and by
proper development of the finer qualities,
we could become exporters of fine cigars.

Lemons May be Made Profitable.

Some time since, hearing through q
private letter from Mr.. VIM. P. Cole, of
Palatka, that he had derived very Salts
factory results from his shipments of
demonstrating on an average $5 per
box for them-we requested him to give
us his modus operandi. Inreply he sends
us the following, and although it is not
intended for publication, we take the
liberty of presenting it to our readers.
The letter is as follows:
Editor Florida AgriculturiSt:
Your favor of the 18th received this
morning, and would say in answer to
your questions: First, that | shipped my
lemons the first and second weeks in Oc-
tOber, as you know the quotations for
lemons are higher in September and Oc-
tober than at any other time, as there is
at that time less foreign competition.
The past season had ninety eight boxes,
part of which | sold in Pittsburg, Pa,
and the remainder to wholesale grocery
house in Brooklyn, n Y. Do not confuse
what said to youin my last as to prices.
l said they sold for S. per box (aver-
aged), of course when you deduct the
freight, drayage and commission the net
price was about 81. You know it is use
less to raise lemons unless we try and OBJ
tain the best markets for the same
| think We orange growers have long
trusted too much to commission mer-
chants, letting them be almost, you might
say, our bankers; and hope some of the
schemes we now hear of, of forming a
stock company to buy our fruit on the
trees, may have reliable foundation.
| do not write this as an article, but
merely to make it clear to you how, if
your lemons are free from rust, scale, and
are smooth you may, if you ship to
good market and reliable house or per-
son, easily realize the prices that have
The best sizes are 1913 and $50 to the box.

Florida Tobacco.


future. It's soil and climate adapt it to
the growing of the finest leaf known, and
being SO near Cuba the quality should be
as good if the right kind of seed be used.
The profits from growing tobacco in Flor
ida should be much greater than in Su-
matra, from the fact that the leaf which
is grown from the Cuba seed (Vuelta
Abajo), which will not make fine wrappers,
will, when cured produce a high class
filler which will sell at high profit per acre,
even If no wrappers are produced; but it
has been shown beyond doubt that the
yield of wrappers will be fully as large as
in any country, running from 30 to Is
per cent, according to the care given the
leaf during and after it's growth. 1t is a
well known ctthat only the finest wrap
pers from a crop of Sumatra are useful or
valuable in our market, as the peculiar
quality of the leaf will not allow of it's
use for filler purposes, and the growing
of Sumatra cannot beso profitableas the
Cuba leaf
The success of Florida tobacco depends
entirely on it's care after it is grown. If it
is handled and cured right there is not
land enough in the whole State to cause
over-production. The natives have no
knowledge of the proper curing process
necessary to fit the tobacco for this mar
ket. 1t seems to us that the time is now
ripe for our people here in the trade to
show little enterprise and secure fort
unes that await the asking.
There certainly must be brains and
money enough right here among us to
properly develop this matter, and from
our standpoint all that is needed is a
leader who possesses the proper knowl-
edge and executive ability. We could
name one person who would fill the bill
completely who has given years of time
to the scientific study of both the growing
and curing of the leaf, one whose name is
so familiar to the tobacco trade OF the
world that it is hardly necessary to men
ton it, Mr.. Chas S. Phillips, of 1873 Pearl
street, New York. If he could be induced
to take the management OF Florida en-
terprise there could be no question about
the success of it, and the dividends should
be rolled up higher than the best paying
Dutch or Sumatra Company. He is SELF
made, successful business man, many years
familiar with the handling OF labor, with
proved executive abilities, inventor OF the
most valuable patents known for curing
tobacco, and parties investing their
money in any company under his man
agement could feel certain of big profits.
Everyone at all familiar with the subject
knows that tobacco is the best paying
crop in the world. Florida tobacco will
sell for at least three times the price OF
Connecticut or any Northern or Western
tobacco; and yet it is an unusual thing
for our Eastern farmers to make less than
100 per cent. on their tobacco crop. Ii
they did not they would not continue
to make it a special crop year after year
as they have.
With such good prospects for making
money, it ought MOTTO be difficult to raise
all the capital needed for growing theleaf
on large scale and supplying our mar
ket with fine goods superior to Sumatra

SWEPT BY a TIDAL WAVE,
Eight Hundred Lives Lost on the
Japanese Coast

A tidal wave has occurred in Japan in
which nearly 500 persons lost their lives and
about 1000 houses were washed away. At
Ckudo all the houses, twenty three in num-
ber were washed away, and out of ninety
inhabitants fifty-four lost their lives. At
-Jitsuroku forty houses were washed away,
and about fifty out of the population of $50
were killed At Ikuta- Mura 120 houses were
washed away, about twenty broken up and
about forty of the inhabitants killed. At
Yoshida-Mura $50 out of the $50 houses were
washed away, and CPS of the population of
1850 were killed At Toba-Mura, containing
22O houses and a population of 113O, ten
houses were broken up and ten persons per-
ished.
In addition to those already enumerated,
800 bodies have been found and there are
