imported. 1t is just as fine and silky
and yielding and spotted-it pleases
the eye as we'll, and the taste much
better. 1t has already created revo-
luton in tobacco culture in Florida
and a popular craze for it is "on"
hand now. In one county in Florida
a million pounds was grown this sea-
son and it will all be bought by spec
ulatOrs before frost. Since I received
your letter have had three inquiries
for Sumatra and Cuban leaf from
large dealers and manufacturers.
Two months ago a telegram from
Chicago: 'Send samples by express
at once. Will pay highest cash mar
ket price for Florida Sumatra." Mr.
Henry Curtis, agent of the F. G. & P.

him an average sample. My forth
coming bulletin will be largely devot-
ed to the advent and treatment of
Sumatra, and the promising future
the state now enjoys therefrom.

during the past decade leads us to
hope that there will be no retrogres-
sion but a continual advance.
The first great thing to impress
upon the people is the fact that the
vegetables can be grown, and the
next is to induce them to count the
cost of the canned goods they buy.
We think if the average Floridian
will keep a little book and enter in it
the amount of his vegetable bills-or
bills that would not necessarily be
incurred if his table was supplied
with fresh vegetables-he will soon
be impressed with the profits and ad-
vantages of family garden.

plants that give any promise of be-
ing of service inthis state. Anyone
who has tried new forage plant
would confer a favor on the station
by corresponding with Prof. Persons
at Lake City.
After all we have come to the con-
clusion that there is something
wrong with cassave as a Florida pro-
duct. What this wrong" is we are
unable to say. The plant is a great
producer. The product can be used
in it's raw state or manufactured in
to commercial articles. The cultiva-
ton of the plant is simple and mex
pensive, yet Notwithstanding this it
in almost entirely neglected. Will
some one tell us what the trouble is?

CAMPHOR
Lake City, Fla.

Camphor culture may in time prove
a profitable industry in Florida
Since the interesting paper of Mr.. I'll.
G. Hubbard was read before the State
Horticultural Society at it's last an
nual meeting, many of our South
Florida orange growers have planted
a few camphor trees with which to
experiment. Of course it will take
time to determine whether or not
the tree can be grown with profit in
Florida. We believe there is no ques-
ton but that the tree will grow all
right, but the point yet to be deter
mined is, will it pay to distil the pro-
ducts.
In a recent issue the San Mateo
Item discussing the matter says:
Several articles on the subject of
camphor production as profitable
industry for our orange growers,
have appeared in the state press dur
ing the past spring; while an address
was delivered by Mr.. Henry G. Hub
bard, of a somewhat practical ma
ture, before the Fruit Growers Asso-
citation.
That there is a large percentage
of camphor in both leaves and bark
can not be doubted. Whether the. av-
erage Florida farmer or fruit grower
can make it a profitable product is
the question; and in the light of past
experiments we are very hopeful
that it may prove to be so. The
practical question to be settled is the
cost of distilling or expressing the
camphor gum. We understand that
a machine can be built at a cost so
low as to place it in the hands Of
larger producers; while several
smaller ones could combine to pro-
cure one. Mesrs. Williams & Hub
bard have several thousand of young
trees planted at Crescent City, and
are conducting a series of expert
ments that will practically settle the
question. Successful results will es-
tablish an industry of the greatest
value to the state and one which will
not be destroyed by any degree of
cold. AS the tree will grow and
flourish in any variety of soil, our
pine lands once covered with produce
tive orange groves will once again be
clothed in green and provide a more
stable income without the danger of
a partial or total loss from cold. 1t

COUNTING THE COST.


The average Floridian may think
that family garden is terribly trou-
blesome, expensive and after all I'M
profitable, but if he will pause long
enough to count the cost of the cans
and packages of vegetables he buys
from the grocery in the course of a
year, we imagine his view on the sub
Ject will be radically changed.
The gardener without irrigating
facilities, we admit, operates under
great disadvantage, and it should be
his aim to install some kind of an ir-
rigating plant. The first cost of
this will be considerable, but after
all the first cost is practically the
only cost, and the plant started on a
small scale can be added to and i'm
proved as the means of the owner
will permit.
But even without artificial irriga-
ton something may be done in ordi-
nary seasons in the way of supply
ing the family table with fresh veg
etables, and in unusual seasons of
abundant rain fine gardens can be
made without artificial irrigation.
Of course we are now referring to
gardens on the ordinary high pine
lands of South Florida. Where the
gardener is so fortunate as to have a
bay head or piece of low hammock
land conditions are entirely different
and the need of artificial irrigation is
not near so great.
Even during the season when rain
fall is below the normal many vege-
tables can be grown with a greater
or less degree of success. It should
be the business of the gardener to
determine what these are and how
best to grow them.
The increase in the number and
extent of family gardens in South
has been most gratifying and encour-
aging. Tt was only short time ago
that no effort whatever was made Nv
the average orange grower in the
production of fresh vegetables. He
had an idea that gardens could not
be made on the pine lands of Florida,
and this idea was so firmly fixed with
him that he made no effort to con-
vince himself to the contrary. In
the case of new corners they OF
course followed in the footsteps of
their predecessors. They were told
that it was time and money lost to
attempt the growing of vegetables
on pine land. If they were somewhat
incredulous, and attempted the max
ing of a garden their results as rule
were not encouraging for the reason
that they were strangers to the coun-
try and were ignorant as to the needs
of the soil, the proper methods of
cultivation and the varieties best
adapted to soil and climate.
The progress made along this line

ABOUT DISPOTING OF TOBACCO.


doubtless prove of interest to many
tobacco growers in Florida who are
situated like Mr.. Shepherd. The peo-
pie of South Florida are congratu-
lating themselves that they have
practically solved the tobacco ques-
ton as far as the production of the
weed is concerned, but there are 9TH
er problems CONNECTED with the
question of equal Importance that re-
main unsolved-the curing and mar
keting of the product. These are the
matters discussed in the following
correspondence:
Mr.. f. B. Noodle:
[ have cured about rs pounds of
Sumatra leaf tobacco. Yesterday [
took it down and put it in hands and
packed it in a box, leaving one inch
space on the sides. [ would like to
know how long [ ought to keep it
in the box? I never handled any be-
fore and want advice I heard you
lecture in Orlando, where you advis-
ed us to sell when we got this far
along, but we made such small crop
that no buyers have come around
here, and so we all want to know
what to do next, or from now on. If
you would be so kind as to give us
hi in 10
Agriculturist next week, you will ben
eft a lot of us. We are not much en-
couraged about tobacco.
S. p. Shepherd.

[ would not paya buyert to come from
New York or Chicago to see a crop of
75pounds- hence you should endeav-
orto sell to some local or neigh boring
manufacturer. Tampa will buy all
the good merchantable wrapper to-

duce. If the article is not merchant
able you should find out where the
fault is, and go to work to remedy it
next time. This is probably your
maiden effort'-don't be discourage
ed but TRY, try again and again. for
I'm sure that there are lands in Or

tivation and fertilizing produce as
fine leaf as any in the state. On
many sections there are apt to be
some spots not so we'll suited as 9th

a great demand for Florida Sumatra
ten times greater than the possible
supply, and this demand will in
crease from year to year, and no
doubt there will be a foreign demand
in few years for this par excellent
leaf. Florida grown Sumatra (not
all of it) is superior in quality to the
