Every nickel; yes, every penny
sent out of Middle Florida by the
farmers and others for articles they
can grow land ought to by all means
as this is mixed crops Year, makes
the circulation of money of all kinds
that much the less. Make circu-
lating medium Of the greenbacks
right in your own neighborhood.
"Home first, the world afterwards"
is a most excellent principle to ad-
here to strictly.
When you send your money to the
Kankakee swamps for hay or your
pork barrel to Chicago to be filled,
that money hardly ever gets back
and the people IN general are the
sufferers in consequence.
We know full we'll that there is too
much Of this sort of work going on
and this is the reason why we have
been engaged year after year urging
the farmers to make the farm self
sustaining. Raising victuals crops is
one of the methods and very
strong, forcible and powerful one.
We shall continue from time to time
TO urge that the old and erroneous
ideas Of economy be obliterated
never more to return. We know, and
all the arguments this side of .Hala-
fax could not induce US to believe
that the sending off for things that
can be grown or bought at home is
not wrong, radically wrong. There
fore we say; put a stop to all such
work.

The overproduction of cotton and
the underproduction of almost every
thing for the farmers table and sta
bic are the two causes that have
brought about the state of affairs
that now stare us in the face, and un-

Therefore we once more urge one
and all to buy, beg or borrow more
seed and plant them during the
coming planting time, and when
next fall comes plant still more.

To the new tobacco beginner: Let
us make an illustration in your case.
Would you think it wise or prudent
for a lot of farmers to move into
Middle Florida from England and
with one 'sfell swoop" go into
tobacco growing in wholesale
manner? Of course you will not.
This is the reason why we are con-
stantly arguing that too many are
not sufficiently familiar with the
methods of planting, culture and
curing to "dip in" the first year on a
large scale.

We know just % well - many o.
the farmers of Middle Florida know
that there is too much poor land
under cultivation each year I'VE have
our portion of the same) and a
"change of base" is early needed.
We see it every year and have RENE
died it to great extent by frequent
planting of cow peas; more this year.
Having tested buckwheat and
barley we know that they will grow
in our climate and next fall we intend
to SOW barley, because it will make
growth on poor land, therefore we
intend to grow it in the fall, in the
spring pillow it under, then SOW buck
wheat, turn it under when in bloom,
then we believe the soil will be in
good shape for most Of the fall crops.
Why? says one, because the rotten
barley has fed the buckwheat and
the rotted buckwheat stands ready
to feed any seed planted. This
method we claim will furnish lots of
nitrogen and returns more to the
soil than is taken away. Try it.

Tobacco farmers, you are located
on the right spot, many of you at
least. Director DePass is back from
Cuba and he travelled about all over
the faithful isle and writes"as far as l
know, which approximates that on
which they grew their fine tobacco,
the nearest, SO far as mere color is
concerned, is in Leon, Gadsden and
Jackson counties-but the consis-
tency is entirely different from that
of these counties. It is more of a
clayey-alluvia and is very rocky.

and also secured entire plants, root
and stalk, for the same purpose, both
of which will be carefully compared
with those of Florida and the results
be published in the bulletins"

letters from the best-informed to-

says: 81 know that you can grow
a leaf that will, and has, from my CT
gar cases taken the place of the best
Cuban goods I ever worked up in
my back shop. Let the motto OF
your farmers be-'We have come to

II OW to Farm.

Get up a reputation with the
merchants and business men of the
town where you do your trading.
Have them point you out to the
stranger and say: There goes a
farmer that never comes to town
without having something to sell
that brings him money and he re.
turns to his farm richer than when
he left it. He is always to be found
up and doing.
Convert yourself into one Of this
class of farmers and all will be well.
A big advertisement for our to-
bacco leaves.
If every other interest in Florida
falters, don't let that of tobacco lay
at the Worlds Fair. Keep your to-
bacco crop foremost in the mind
when the fair is alluded to, and be
sure to raise some choice samples and
we will see that they are sent there
free of charge. Director DePass
makes an excellent suggestion and it
is this. 81 suggest that tobacco
factory be established on the exposi-
ton grounds at the Worlds Fair in
Chicago next year, in which Florida
tobacco shall be made into cigars by
first-class experts and sold to the
people of the world who will assemble
there, and in this way to give to it a
fuller and more extended notorieUy
in shorter space of time than posi-
BILE in any other way This would
at once set Oh foot an industry Of
untold value to Florida people"

That Luscious Fruit-Strawbe


This is strawberry time and we
love to talk and write about them as
we'll as to masticate them between
two layers Of short cake.
Right here Josh Billings old chest
nut fits in: "God Almighty might
have made a better berry but he
never did"
We are fruiting the Nunan, Mobile,
Hoffman and testing quit a number of
unknowns to us, all have been highly
fertilized and the dark green foliage
along the matted rows with an occa.
sional white plumed bunch Of
blossoms here and there is sight
worth looking at.
That freeze a few days ago did the
first crop great harm, but the second
setting is coming on rapidly and we
have them for dinner and supper
every day. In fact the day has yet
to arrive when we will wish that the
rows will cease to bear.
1t is strange, passing strange, that
so few farmers grow this luscious
berry, especially when it can be
grown so easily and furnish the table
so speedily.
We venture the assertion that
within FIVE miles of our trial ground
all the tame strawberries that are
growing to-day could be planted on
a quarter of an acre Of ground. This
lis not as it should be and there is no
reasonable excuse for any farmer to
offer for such state of affairs.
The negro says he "won't gro
dem, case it amt my land" If he
would pause and think for moment
he would see that when be has to
move he could dig them up and take
them along; but no, he is not built
that way, and consequently has nc
strawberries and in too many in
stances not much Of anything else.
We always shall contend that M
farm is complete without strawberrie'
and urge every farmer that is with
out them to put out bed this fall
The cost is but trifie. Will you
