Pittsburg lawyer. He thinks Cleveland il
| the strongest man before the people, and
| he will vote for him. Ror Vice President,
he believes Roes could a. carry @ny,d & and
Boies in the second position.
&, Mr.. SPRINGER is not a delegate. He
said he never attended a convention as q
delegate He believes in dividing up the
honors. He was proud that he had been
named for Congress ten times in succession,
and that was honor enough for him. "The
Illinois delegation" he said would vote for
Palmer against the field, and they will stick
to him to the end don't believe Cleveland
will be nominated. 1 have not been carried
away by the array of votes given out by his
managers"
'.WouId Palmer accept second placer"
"Never," was the reply. "The people OF
Illinois would not permit it.. He would be
more useful on the floor of the Senate than
as its presiding officer. If Palmer is nomi-
mated he will carry Illinois, and he is about
the only Democrat in the country that can
do it. If Gle, Gland should be the nominee,
1 suppose Boies, OF Iowa, would be put on
the ticket with him. There is strong feel.
ing that Boies can win out in his State. You
ask about the platform. Well, 1 think the

To Tobacco Buyers.

As most Of the Eastern and North.
ern buyers have never visited this
new tobacco section, it is important
that we should make our locality
known.
To them we would say there are
three steamers each week from New
York to Jacksonville and two to
Fernandina, connecting with the
Florida Central and Peninsular r. r:
and four steamers each week to Saw
annah, where they can connect with
the Savannah, Florida and Western
r. r. and pass directly through the
tobacco growing sections from Pen
sacola to Lake City.

Our experience leads us to state
that more damage is done to cotton
by inexperienced ginners than in any
other way. Unless there is a great
care taken the gins will cut fibre
badly, crack the seed and even allow
whole seed to get into the lint, which
will give the cotton an appearance
that will affect the price from one to
three cents per pound.
1t will, therefore, be TO the farmers
interest to look about before con-
tracing with any one to do his
ginning, and send his cotton to the
one who does the best work.
The farmer should see that the
ginner suns his cotton and puts it
through a cleaner or whipper to ex-
tract the sand and trash before ginn-
ing it. Otherwise you will not get a
cotton that will grade frst-class in ap-
pearance and become fancy prepare
ton. When this is done and the
cotton goes to market in 6rst-class
condition we will have some claim
upon high prices.

Tobacco Matters I'm West Florida.

To enable the farmers to 90 to
the great tobacco fair at Pensacola
October 10, Col. Chipley has secured
the services of that able tobacco
educator, Professor Noodle and he
is travelling along the line of the P.
& A. Il. 4.
The meeting of tobacco growers
and other farmers here to-day was
fairly attended. Professor Noodle
addressed the meeting.
Some good specimens were exhib.
tied, but year hence the exhibition
will be an hundred fold larger. This
year the drought operated against
our farmers and made it almost i'm.
possible to get plants.
Those interested in tobacco grow
ing now, or who desire to commence
its culture, should meet Prof. Noodle
at the court house at ii o'clock Sat-
urday, September 3.
Those who have grown any tobac.
co this year should bring good sam.
pies and learn from Professor Noodle
how to case it.-Exchange.
We like to hear of just such move.
tments and only regret that the TO-
bacco farmers of Middle Florida have
not Chipley and a Noodle to visit
them.

NIr. DiSstOnss sugar.

Speaking Of his Florida enterprises
to representative of the CONNER
cial Advertiser, Mr.. Hamilton Diss.
ton said: eve took our chances
that the land was suitable for the
culture of sugar cane, and, while a
great deal of money was risked, we
now see our way clear. This year
we will make 100000 pounds of
sugar and draw bounty Of 1920, 900.
Next year we will increase this out
put, and in few years Florida will
be a rival to Louisiana in the pro-
duction of sugar cane"
ain addition to sugar cane, we
have made an experiment with rice.
We have turned 1900 acres into
rice field and are already sure of
success. We can put ten times that
area under cultivation next year.
"Ot our original holdings we have
disposed of two million acres, but
we still have four million. This
land few years ago was as abso-
lutely worthless as the same area of
the bed of the Atlantic ocean. To day
it is source of reveaue to the state
and its value will constantly in
crease"

cially the matter with Middle Florida

any they are not visible to the

Whilst it is true that agriculture
at the South is suffering depression,
as in all other sections, yet there are
advantages with US that no other
section can claim.
The amount of money necessary
for farm investment is far less than
at the North or the West. Our
lands are on the market at yerv
much less price than lands in other
sections. 1t may be argued however,
that our soil is not fertile and the
lands are much worn. This NAV be
true but they have wonderful recu.
perative power, and the means of re-
cuperation are not expensive. 1t is
well known that our poorest lands
can be brought to thrift and fertility
IN a very short time. We have
quite number. of notable instances
of the recovery of the fertility of our
soils, including the very poorest
coast land, as in the case of South
Carolina, we'll known by the readers
OF our agricultural journals.

The experience of over forty
years in the handling of tobacco in
its various stages of curing has led
me to believe that tobacco is never
injured by pole sweat unless the
weather is propitious for it's pre-
valence. The kind of weather that
causes pole sweat is warm, moist,
muggy spell, when the tobacco has
become wilted and hangs limp, the
leaves clinging around the stalk, and
not breath of air to stir the leaves
and dry off the drops Of moisture
that accumulate on the leaves. Fer
mentation results from this cause;
and If the hot, sultry, damp weather
continues, pole sweat is inevitable;
and unless checked by some cause,
pole rot is certainty as surely as
the weather that commenced it con-
tinues. If the needful weather ia
had, sweat is inevitable, and pole
rot follows as a matter Of course.
That fungi in the air tastens to de-
csying vegetation is probably true,
and unless checked by drying
wind, or some artificial means, the
rotting process will continue until
the texture of the leaf is DESTROYED,
and it rots until the leaf falls from
the stalk and is only fit for use as a
fertilizer. Where plants are hung
too closely in the shed, thus prevent
ing circulation Of the air, there will
often happen pole burn. We have
known plants to sweat badly where
hung foot away from any other, be-
cause the weather was just right to
produce it. In such cases the leaves
wrap around the stalk 80 that it re-
sembles q closed umbrella.

Stin There 1s a Chance for a Farm.

Ever since land began to get ex-
ceedingly scarce we have been
strictly opposed 70 subsidies and land
grants, no matter in what shape or
form they presented themselves, and
we are pleased to know that the
last congress made these soulless
corporations disgorge 54,323,996
acres of their ill-gotten gains. Cut
this land up into $50 acres and it
will be seen that we have over 5000
900 more farms for entry, use and
occupancy by the dear people who
want to go west and grow up with
the country.
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1892-09-24

By allowing the crop to thor
oughly ripen before it is harvested,
the chances are that less pole sweat
will occur. If cut in green and of
course succulent condition, the
chances for sweat, and rot even, are
largely increased. AS tobacco rip
ems, the leaf becomes notified with
yellow spots. This is caused by loss
of surplus juice or sap. Or this sap,
holding ingredients for growth, has
been assimilated by the leaf and it
Is in a mature condition, and in the
right condition to cure properly.

The only true way for specially
in farming is to find out what the
soil and locality of the farms is best
fitted to produce. This can be done
only by testing it. Then make this
crop the special one, but see to it
that other crops are brought in to
keep the soil from losing it's strength.
All that need be grown are such crops
necessary for a wise rotation, and
then the ideal farm is reached. In
this sense speciality in farming has
an intelligent meaning; but in any
other sense it is worse than meaning
less. 1t is misleading.-A. B. Barrett
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1892-09-24

The average home in this country
is not one-quarter supplied with the
small fruits it should have. Farmers
have no time to grow full supply
of fruit; they think they will buy all
they want for the family; but they
never do. They may get few
berries for Sunday or for a short
cake now and then, but that is all.
The best and most profitable market
for lot of fruit is the family. Plant
in long rows, use the horse and cult
vator, let the horse do the work;
plant such standard varieties as are
best for your section and you will be
all right.
