The Result Promising.

following from the Tampa Times shoulo
certainly give courage to the tobacco
experimenters:
A package of leaf tobacco grown at
Fort Meade, Polk county, was on exhibit
ton yesterday afternoon in one of the
prominent cigar factories of this city
that seems to definitely settle the ques-
tion of supply so far as tie manufacture
of high grade cigars is concerned. Inc
samples were in two grades. The first
was cured and superintendent by native
Floridians and was not fully up to the
standard of Havana leaf, but was pro-
nounced to be a good grade Of domestic
leaf which will probably turn out as
good cigars as the average Connecticut
tobacco. The other grade was cured by
q Cuban expert and was thoroughly
examined by prominent leaf dealer OF
twenty-five years experience, who had
no hesitancy in saying the tobacco, both
the wrapper and the filler samples, was
of very fine quality. OF course,
tobacco and cigar men will readily I'M
derstand that this early after cutting
and curing tobacco it is very difficult to
establish exactly to what class Of goods
q bulk Of tobacco belongs, bnt in gen
eral way it's value is easily determined
by those fami lar with the staple.
'tThis tobacco" says the expert, has
SIS fce color as | ever saw. 1t is nei-
jhef too light nor too dark, but has that
particular shade that characterizes the
a3et Havana leaf. It's texture is fine
eoaY,siiky, being easily free from any
good ness that so often mars otherwise
whv t3o nestle leaf. | see no reason

should AXE turn to limit the importa-
ton 81 tobacco from that island, it

Gent to meet the demand.
The crop at Fort Meade from which
these samples were taken consisted of
200 acres, and so completely satisfied
with the growth of this crop were the
promoter that they are now engaged in
planting second crop. The advantage
Of growing two crops year on the same
land is not apt to be over-estimated.
This can be done nowhere else in the
world. Only one crop per annum is
grown in Cuba and the growers of
domestic leaf in the northern and mid
die states congratulate themselves if
they can have one crop before the au.
tumn frosts come:
Without becoming excited or unduly
sanguine, it does look as if the peninsula
had great things in store for her in the
future in the way of growing leaf to-
bacco, both wrappers and filler, for the
manufacture Of fine cigars.

Mr.. John Jacobs, of Chuluota, was in
the city Tuesday. He states that the
farmers and fruit growers of his portion
of the county are in good circumstances.
They have had fine crops, and have real
lied good prices for all the produce they
have had to sell. They will now raise a
crop OF sweet potatoes and grass for for
age and hay on the same land on which
they had vegetables. Corn in that local.
ity, as we'll as in other parts of the
county, will prove a much better crop
than was looked for a short time since.
The cattle and hogs are in good con-
dition and he finds ready sale for all he
can raise at good prices.
The Eustis Correspondence of the
Times Union says: The truckers of this
district have not done much. A few
have made little over expenses, some
came out even, and the majority are
heavy loosers; so that it is quite prob
able that next year there will not be
nearly so many in the business as in the
past. They say the work is too hard for
the meagre returns, as it is pick all day,
pack all night, in order to get the stuff
to the railroad before 7 a. M, for the
only train that runs, and then to get
returns OF rs cents crate for tomatoes
and pay 81 for expenses is putting the
profit on the wrong side of the ledger.

SEED POTATOES.
The South Can and Must Grow Her Own
Seed Potatoes.

AS sure as turnips, rye, barley, etc.,
sown on the return Of the dewy nights
of August and September will come, so
will the potato, if we have prepared our
seed right and got our land rich and in
proper condition. A writer in The
Southern Cultivator sums it all up in a
nutshell. He says:
Get the earliest potato, dig before the
vines die, place them where they will
get light and air, but where no water
will stand about them Or the direct rays
of the midday sun will strike them,
such place as under outhouses where
dry, light and airy, or under shade trees
or canvas. In from six to eight weeks
they will look rusty and greenish and
the eyes will show green sprouts start
ing. Soon as cool nights and showers
come and your land is ready, cut just as
we do for spring planting. I have all
quartered, splitting from bloom to stem
end
Why is this fall corp seed better than
northern seed? Just for the same reason
| that the farther north our seed potatoes
are grown, the earlier they will come II
only spring crop seed is grown, because,
| as above stated, the farther north the
shorter the time between planting time
and growing weather. If we plant with
return CT cool, dewy nights, we plant
in growing weather. and if our seed are
well cured and greenel, they will come
ND quicker and grow off faster than any
spring crop. To illustrate, if we plant
the 18th Of February, our crop will be
matured in about 1870 days. II we plant
the 1st of April, our crop will mature
in about 90 days If we plant with the
return of cool nights in August Cor Sep
TENDER farther south) in rich, we'll pre-
pared land, they will mature i'll 60 to
70 days. This of course is the secret OF
this earliness, and not their immature
state, so often alleged.
Why is it they are all marketable
while the spring grown seed bring sc
nanv small tnhers?- Recapset this f t91e
north, has very few rains; consequently
they set very full CT tubers, and they are
all set at one time. After once set, rains
add to their size instead of setting new
tubers, if the plants are not stinted in
grow tn or checked in some way. This is
why this crop beats all others for mar
ketable potatoes; 90 times in 100 the po-
tato that does the best in the north will
prove failure in the south. The south
| can and must grow her own seed pota-
| toes.

returns come from all parts of the
State and are representative of the
general political sentiment. The larg-
est gains are in the agricultural sec

ry it by majority of $4,000. / re-
gard it as absolutely certain for
Bryan. Comparing our poll with the
result obtained from figuring on the

is only a difference of 1000 votes in

accuracy of our poll"
