Editor Daily LIGHT:
We notice in q recent issue of
your paper some false and mali
cious statements, emanating from
one O. c. Guessaz, otherwise de-
funct "Texas Field" rejecting on
the integrity of the San Antonio
Gun club.
The statements are inspired by
malice, and for the purpose of in
juring the tournament, to be held
by our club here in October. These
charges were long since refuted
and shown to be false, and we do
not deem it necessary to give either
them or their malignant author
further consideration. We regret
to be forced to have this nauseated
subject. again inflicted upon the
public, but think it a duty due to
our club and its members so gross
ly and unjustly maligned.
We beg to append statement of
two of our members which may
throw some light on the original
motive which prompted these ar
ticles-the captaincy of the club.

With Not Feat or Feature Lack

Referring recently to the Bar
mum & Bailey greatest show on
earth which Is to make its coloss al
appearance in San Antonio October
26, the managing editor Of the In
dianapolis Daily News remarked:
off everybody now associated with
the show were to retire or pass
away, 1t would keep right on just
the same, because it not only
stands for everything gigantic and
superlative in its way, but is re.
preventative public institution
with name and good will of i'm
mense, permanent and indestruct-
ible value. There would be plenty
of capitalists only too glad to run
it and to pay enormously for the
privilege" This is literally true,
every word Of land tersely de-
fines the difference between the
show in question and all others of
any name or nature anywhere. Be.
fore the Barnum era Of colossal
presentation there were a number
| of circuses and menageries first
class for their day. One by one
they fell behind the times, and
deteriorated and died. Others
have succeeded the m, and they,
too, must and will disappear. On
the contrary, since the death OF P.
T. Barnum, it is a patent, undenia-
BILE fact that the great recreative
enterprise bearing his name, has
steadily and phenomenally grown,
in both size and popular favor
and, under all circumstances, its
success is as certain as that of the
best managed railroad or bank.
1t has enlarged the scope of its
sphere and influence, and intro.
duced many notable features of
educational merit and universal
interest, entirely new in the show
business. This seasons example
of this Is to be seen in the Ethno.
logical congress Of strangest people
from every strange land = a big

business involved in attempting to
exploit any other exhibition in the

Cigar Tobacco in Florida.

awake journals of Florida is doing what
it can to help the people Of the State in
their ST arch for profitable crops. Being
located in one Of the greatest cigar manu-
featuring centers of the world, it nat
urally turns to tobacco, and publishes
the following:
By invitation a Times representa- tive
called at the coy home of A. Zendegui
in Ybor CITY yesterday to discuss the
question of cigar tobacco culture in
Florida with that gentleman and r. p
Pelota.
Mr.. Zendegui has been for several
years resident of Tampa, but Mr..
Pelota arrived in the city last Thursday.
He is a wealthy and intelligent Cuban
tobacco grower-owns several large
plantations and has been in the business
since his boyhood. He has abandoned
his Cuban plantation because of the
revolutionary troubles, finding it i'm
possible to make and market his crops
as usual.
AS an instance, he stated that recently
he was visited BY an incurqent force bv
whom a contribution Of $4,000 for their
cause was exacted Less than week
later about 200 Spanish troops took up
their quarters on his plantation and be-
sides demanding large amount of
money he was required 10 feed the men
and horses for more than a week Then.
after the Spanish troops had left, he was
notified by force Of Insurgents that if
he again gave shelter to the government
troops that his buildings would be
burned and his crops ruined. He says,
further. that the PLANTERS IN all portions
hostilitles have had experiences similar
70 his. For that reason many of'thqm
like him, who share with him the belief
that the war is destined to last q long
time, have abandoned their plantations
in Cuba and are considering the adapt
ability of the climate and lands If Flor
ida to the culture of fine cigar tobacco
J. B. Pelota, a cousin Of R. B., and
also owner of large Cuban tobacco
plantation, arrived here yesterday on the
Mascotte, and these two gentlemen and
Mr.. Zendegui will start in a few days on
a trip through South Florida, to inspect
lands and decide on loca ton for an
experimental plantation. They will 60
first to Lakeland and then to the Char
lotte Harbor country, being of the
opinion, from descriptions given them,
that in both of these sections they Will
find lands adapted to their purpose.
Mr.. Zendegui has two brothers AND
other relatives and numerous friends
who are engaged in tobacco growing ii
the best districts OF Cuba, and he hal
been in correspondence with number
of them for some time past with view
of inducing them to come to South Flor
ida and engage in tobacco culture here
He has had some experience in the bust
ness himself, and is of the opinion thai
as fine cigar tobacco can be grown II
certain portions of South Florida as Car
be produced anywhere in the world
provided, of course that the same intel
ligence and experience is brought tC
bear in it's cultivation and treatment

SGream, ana WnaC is known as sweet"
land. Being informed that he would be
able to find great deal of land of the
character he had described, Mr.. Petota
was very much gratifed He was spe-
cially pleased oleara that he would find
calCareous rock in abundance, as one of
the greatest sources of loss to the Cuban
tobacco growers are the insect pests, and
they are not found where this rock is
plentiful. This will prove a great adj
vantage as compared with Cub, as the
insect pests are the source of much loss
and worry to the planters of the island.
Mr.. Pelota owns several large planta-
tions in Cuba, and one of them is one of
the finest on the isaHd-Vista Hermosa,
in the state of San Juan Martinez. He
told of one crop he had raised on eighty
acres Of this plantation in 1879 which he
sold to the owner of factory in Havana
for 1924, 900, his net profit being about
$50, 900.
From Mr.. Pelota's talk we CLEANED the
following further interesting points:
About II, 900 plants to the acre can be
planted on the best grade Of land. :
All the skilled labor required in the
business can be brought here from Cuba
as soon as reeded as there is much dis
tress among that class now, work on
nearly all the plantations having sus
pended
On the best quality of new land the
plants will be ready for first cutting in
sixty or seventy days from planting
The second and finest cut can be made
fifteen days later. Four or five cuttings
can be made from each plant, but the
second is the best.
The leaves of the palmetto which is
so abundant in this Sc: ton are the very
thing for thatching the curing she Is.
Such covering is much preferable to a
shngle or any other kind of roof.
Sixty men can cultivate 100 acres Of
plants, and ten or twelve more won d be
required to cut and cure the leaves.
The hot sun in this climate in July,
August and September would be very
severe on the young plants, but Mr. Pc
lota has a plan for protecting them
which he thinks will be effective.
NOW IS THE TIME.
Mr.. Pelota is convinced that now is
the time to commence the cultivation of
cigar tobacco in Florida. Some of the
manufacturers have a small supply on
hand, but many of them have made no
preparation for the serious emergency
which now confronts them. The crop
/ Cuba next year will not be sufficient
to supply the trade of the island, much
less the export trade, and there is on
telling how long it will be before the
Cuban planters will be able to cultivate
their plantations He advises that do
nations of lands and other assistance be
made to induce skilled farmers to come
over Immediately and commence expert
ments, so that they will be ready to
supply the great demand which is sure
to be made when the manufacturers use
the supply now on hand.
