Our Totaooo % 60. v0Tl9ss ME-
This Il the year we must raiss the
samples we send there and If possible
| we should save mp some fine samples
from last year also.
As to space we csnnotget separ-
ate building. Our display will be
made in the agricultural building,
really where it properly belongs.
There ample space will be allotted
to each state for all the tobacco sam
pies they send.
Every section of the known world
will be there with tobacco samples
and we do not know of country or
state that could make as attractive
display as Florida if she only will.
Now the question naturally ARISES,
will we do it? About the first thing
to do at the state tobacco convention
next month is to give this matter
prompt and undivided attention.
Such an opportunity will not again
present itself to the average Florida
grower during his lifetime and he
ought to grasp the golden opportu-
nifty to advertise his crop and his
state This is the great and only
method we see in sight for 1893.
Our manufacturers, leaf dealers
and ware-housemen, each and every
one ought to unite with the farmers
in this enterprise.
Yes, they ought to go still farther
and offer a suitable prize for the best
samples grown in the state, then
select from them those that are to go
to the Worlds Fair. These samples
should be from the crops Of '9l.92.
This method will bring out the
choicest wrappers, binders and filters
and if these samples are sent there
we will know that we will rank right
along side of the best wrapper pro-
ducing states in the country. We
intend to do our level best to more
thoroughly awaken an interest among
our growers in this all important
matter. The offering Of prize or
two will provoke friendly rivalry
among ourselves besides advertising
Florida to the world at the fair.
AS we have said before, we would
like to see a building on the fair
ground in which Florldians were
making our leaves into cigars, then
adjacent thereto Cubans doing the
same thing with their crop. We are
to be their future rivals, there is no
question about that In the future
we will grow and sell a substitute
for their Havana goods. During the
war the substitutes were general y
better than the original persons.
