The Tobacco Industry.

Major Sidney Herbert, writing from
Tallahassee to the Atlanta Journal, says:
"Gadsden county, which adjoins Leon,
in which Tallahassee is situated, is the
great tobacco county Of the state, and the
growers have had very good success up
to the present time. There is a large
warehouse at Quincy and one is also to be
established in this city. The tobacco
growers have a strong organization,
which not only covers several counties
here in Florida, but also embraces two or
three across The line in Georgia. They
fully realize that this new industry is not
one that will establish itself or win it's
own pecuniary benefits. Hard work and
careful study Of seed, plants, harvesting
crops, preparing for market, selling to
best advantage, e'c, are required OF every
farmer who expects to make tobacco cul-
ture remunerative IS money crop.
Florida is full of cigar factories, some OF
immense proportions, and yet the selling
OF the moderate crop now raised here Is
no trifing matter. The Tobacco Grow
ers' Association has just held meeting
at Salem in Gadsden county, and arranged
for Judge III. F. Sharon to go North with
some samples to advertise the tobacco
grown by the members of the association.
Two other suitable persons are to take
samples 10 jacksonville, Tampa and such
places as seem desirable markets. men
ton these facts to show the Georgia
farmers who propose to raise tobacco that
the mere growing of the crop is the
smallest part. Next comes the preparing
of the leaf for commerce, the proper
packing and the profitable selling. Al
ready more rigid rules are being enforced
n the buying of tobacco and farmers are
learning that it does not pay to grow in
ferior tobacco, nor to improperly cure or
carelessly pack good tobacco. The whoie
work must be well done to be made
profitable"
