received during the times RECIPROCITY
and protection were in force!
Has he forgotten that our trade in all
agricultural products was extended dur

been, that. being inexperienced in the work
we would be unable to cure the weed prop
erly when grown. and in this case the
quality of the product would be very ma.
terially affected.
We are pleased to submit some direct
evidence of the quality of the Florida
grown and cured tobacco. recent issue
of the Jacksonville Citizen contains the fol-
lowing item which will be read with in
terest by those who contemplate engaging
in the cultivation of tobacco in the State
G. w. Roberts of this city has been ex-
perimenting for some time past with vari-
Gus methods for curing Florida grown to-
bacco He is confident that he has now
hit upon the right way, and that he can
cure tobacco so that it will be in every re-
spect equal to Havana grown and cured.
Mr.. Roberts exhibited yesterday samples
of tobacco that he has cured by his pro-
cess. The tobacco was grown upon the
plantation of DIR. Warren in Manatee
county, the seed having been brought from
Havana Samples were also shown of to-
bacco that was grown and cured in Havana,
and an inexperienced person could not de-
tect the difference in the two samples,
either by the eye or smell. In fact, Mr..
Roberts, who has had long experience in
the tobacco business, states that it would
be difficult for an expert to find any diff.
ference. He says that the Florida grown
and cured tobacco is fully equal to the Ha-
vana production.
Florida wrappers are now quoted at So
per pound in New York. and filters at 40
cents per pound. so that with the success
full curing of tobacco, which is as impor-
tant as the growing, a very considerable
revenue is promised to Florida farmers.

SCIPIO'S IDEA.

Scipio Craig. the editor of the Redlands
(Cal.) Citrograph who came to Florida to
attend the meeting of the National Press
Association. after giving fair and un-
biased account of the situation in Florida,
concludes as follows:
1--WE do not write these words concern
ing Floridas orange business with any
feelings of exultation. After seeing the
devastation and ruin wrought and talking
personally with those who have practically
lost their all, one would be less than hui
man did not his sympathies go out to that
stricken people. Florida is a land of
many resources and this calamity will
serve to direct their energies to many in
dustries instead of combining them to only
one We believe that, ten years from
now Florida will be far more prosperous
and wealthy than she has ever been. But
her orange exports will not cut much of a
figure for at least five years. This is our
opinion, made up from many interviews
with those who have been in the orange
growing business themselves and who
ought to be in position to know.

35 bushels per acre. No fertilizer was
used.
We have 35 acres in cats this year at
cost of SO sd per acre for blowing
planting and seed. Last year we raised
so bushels per acre; can sell it at 30
cent per bushel or five cents per bundle
in the sheaf.
Our Irish potato crop last year was
fine in quality, but owing to February
freeze our seed was chilled, and we did
not get good stand. We planted 25
barrels IN 2Oacres, we'll fertilized. We
harvested barrels to one planted and
sold them IN Boston at S. so per barrel
netting us $500 per barrel or $l60 per
bushel.
This crop was raised by horse power
almost entirely, at a cost of $108 up to
time of harvesting,or trltie over S. per
acre. One of our neighbors who had
his crop of potatoes all planted at the
time of the freeze shipped Is to one
plante d. We have 40 acres planted this
year, and hope to beat Is to l.
Cabbages we plant between 4, 900 and
5000 plants to the acre. and have filed
barrel crates with 16 and Is heads, but
the usual number is Is to SO; this gives
us yield of 1875 crates per acre; usual
net price is 81 to $1.25 per crate but
have received as high as 50 Is net. We
have 30 acres Of cabbage this year.
Sweet potatoes grow here with little
trouble. They were sold last fall In the
field for stock feeding at Is cents per
bushel. All through the winter we sold
them for 30 cents to 40 cents per bushel
and in January shipped 10 barrels to
