A. w. Poe arrived in Jacksonville one
day last week in covered wagon accom-
panied by three negroes. They drove
the entire distance from Chattanooga,
and were bound for Palm Beach, where
they intend to locate. The wagon is
one of the old time covered farm wagons,
and attracted considerable attention as
it was driven along Bay street. Mr.. Poe
stated that he represented party of
settlers that intended to come to Florida
to locate, if he found the ountry favor
able and reported IN that manner. The
wagon was drawn by five mules when
the start was made, but two of the
mules died while on the way, and the
renal ming three appeared to be n, arly
used up.

Don't Forget the Tobacco.


1t is of paramount Importance to keep
constantly before the people the neces-
sity of diversified farming. We must
not depend entirely on the growing of
fruits or vegetables for the markets of
the North. First a supply sufficiently
large for home consumption Of the sta
pie crops must be grown, which will
place our home farmers on an independ-
ent footing, then-the money crops.
We have for the past three years urged
the farmers of Clay county to go largely
into the cultivation of tobacco, and at no
time have we ever lost faith, though we
plead guilty to failure of having con-
WINGED the farmers themselves OF the
correctness of our theory to that extent
that they were induced to adopt the
crop to any great degree. But In other
aud less favored sections of the State the
crop has been grown, and with the most
abundant success. We read that the
crop of cigar leaf in the State last year
was about 100000 pounds, which
brought $500, 900 to the planters, the
average being about $3.50 per acre on the
crop throughout the State. There are
few crops in any of the states that pay
better for the labor expended or the out
lay IN cultivation, for it is conceded that
the cost of cultivation and handling a to-
baccO crop does not in many instances
exceed S25 per acre, after having once
prepared for it.
It is generally admitted that Florida
must become the rival, or the successor
would probably be the more correct fact,
Of Cuba in the production Of the finer
grades Of cigar tobacco. 1t is well
known fact, as an exchange puts it that
tobacco will grow iuxuriantly all over
the State, that both climate and soil are
finely adapted to it's cultivation, and the
character of the lands will enable the
planters TO grow several different grades,
ranging from heavy plug filler up to a
fine Havana cigar wrapper. The low
lands are Suitab BILE for the cOarser grades,
the sandy upIands for the light, fine
wrappers" So not only will Florida at
tract the attention OF the cigar tobacco
mist, but the plugmen will also find a
field here. The opening is one of the
best any state ever had and should be
taken advantage of to the full measure.
Do not neglect the food crops or the
fruit, but give the cultivation of tobacco
all The attention its merits deserve

Tobacco Growing in Florida.

Archie James, Il tobacco expert who
has charge of the extensive tobacco in
terests Of g. w. Saxton of Tallahassee,
arrived in the city yesterday on his way
to North Carolina and Virginia, where
he will go for the purpose of interesting
the tobacco growers Of that section in
tobacco culture in Florida.
Mr.. James, when seen by Citizen re-
porter, spoke Of the first crop of tobacco
that was raised in Florida for plug pur-
poses. The crop was grown at ITALIA
hassee, on the plantation Of Mr.. Saxton,
under the supervision Of Mr., James.
'"This first crop of plug tobacco, :"
said Mr.. James, consisted of about 3d.
600 pounds, and it was raised on thirty
acres of land. The crop was cut, cured,
and ready for stripping in exactly three
months from the time that it was planted.
We expect TO sell the crop for an aver
age of at least 25 cents per pound.
"The tobacco was cured by. the 'fiued'
process, which is very simple, and pre-
vents the curing barn from becoming
filled with smoke. / cured this last
crop in small barn 20x2O feet. In each
of the two corners near the entrance is q
small brick furnace about eighteen
inches high and eighteen inches wide.

Packing Fruit.

The attention of fruit-growers has
been frequently directed by the Times
to the fact that nowadays, when the pro-
duction is so large and the competition
so keen, the only chance of realizing top
prices in the market is for the growers
to exercise the greatest care and taste in
packing the fruit. 1t does not matter
how we'll stocked the market may be
and how low prices, there will always be
good demand for thoroughly first class
selected fruit, which is packed In an at
tractive manner. In spite of the great
progress that has been made in this
direction during the past few years,
California growers who cater to fine
retail trade still have much to learn.
AS showing what an intelligent fruit
grower may do in obtaining top. prices,
the following from the Santa Rosa Far.
mer is of interest:
&c. E. Simonton has realized hand
some profits for peaches this year, pack.
ing them in crates which hold four
small baskets, each cont aiming about
four and one-half pounds of fruit, or
eighteen pounds to the crate. Fresh
leaves are neatly laid in the bottom Of
each basket, between the layers and on
top, showing that thu y are freshly picked
and packed In the orchard. 1t is no
wonder that such an attractive fruit
readily brings IS and rs cents per crate
Some of his Crawfords, too large for two
layers in baskets, were shipped in boxes,
but only realized 0cents for two pounds
more fruit, averaging less in size. The
baskets cost cent apiece, but the two
pounds of fruit more than cover the cost,
leaving handsome margin for the extra
labor and the largest net profit for choice
fruit of average size, finely colored and
absolutely fresh. Mr.. SimOnton works
upon the theory that first class fruit
will always find ready sale when care
fully handled in a nearly ripe state and
packed so as to catch the eye Of the man

The Scuppernong Family.


A Bulletin of the Alabama experiment
station contains the following in regard
to the old familiar Scuppernong and its
less familiar improved varieties:
The Scuppernong is the only variety
Of this type usually planted, very few
farmers being aware of the fact that
there are others much it's superior.
In 1886 eight varieties were plaDte
twenty feet apart, in rows, along the
margin of branch, and trained upon q
trellis of three wires The vines have
been annually pruned by squirting back
the canes of the growth Of the previous
season to six inches
This type must be pruned in autumn,
Just after the leaves fall. If pruned la.
ter, there is danger Of destructive bleed
ing. This method Of training places the
crop of fruit in easy reach, increases the
SIZE of the berries and punches, and in
sures a larger yield of grapes of better
quality.
The Thomas com mences to ripen Au-
gust Is, thus continuing the supply from
the vineyard of the other types. Other
varieties ripen in succession until the
middle of September, and furnish fruit
till October.
The Memory and Mish are especially
desirable, combining the good qualities
of vigorous growth, hardness, produc-
tiveness and very superior quality.
Desiring to secure the verdict of as
large jury as possible, very many visi-
tors were taken through the vineyard for
the purpose of comparing the varieties.
Without exception the Memory and Mish
were pronounced superior to the Soup
pernong. OF the ten varieties compared,
the Memory is by far the most vigorous
grower.
All are free from disease except an Oc-
cssional very slight attack of black rot.
The proximity Of diseased vines of other
types may have furnished the spores for
the disease.
To propagate this type, use long cut
tings, taken in October or early in No
vember, or layer the vines at any time
from October to March.
The Scuppernong, James and Jeter
drop so readily from the bunch as to
cause great waste in gathering. The
