to boast). There is nothing in the
heat and moisture. A great many men
have invented different kinds of
liquids to fix the taste and smell, but
if you have good tobacco you need
nothing but heat and moisture. In
Cuba they raise tobacco in the winter,
and take it down and pack it into
bales about the middle of March, and
then they have the hot weather on it
until the last of August. 1t is a great
deal hotter there than here, and be-
ing surrounded by the ocean the at
mosphere is a great deal more moist.
In from sixty to ninety days after
baling their tobacco is cured all right.
Here our tobacco is taken down in
July and August, and when it goes
into boxes we are short of heat, con-
sequently the curing is stopped until
the following May, when it commen-
ces again, and by fall the curing is
y
that long, you can complete the cur
ing in from ninety to one hundred
days after putting in boxes by using
artificial heat and moisture The
temperature should stand between 90
and 100 degrees, and the barometer
should stand at moist You will I'M
derstand that the object in curing
tobacco is to eliminate all of what
you might term as weedy material
from the leaf. If you get all of this
weedy substance out of the leaf your
tobacco will burn we'll, taste and
smell all right, but if you do not, it
will not be fit for use as cigar tobac-

was. Mr.. Schroeder then said he
would come himself and look at it,
but he sent his agent, who examined
it very carefully and then asked what
I wanted for it. L said $1,000, and he
gave me check for that amount. 1t
cost me $500 to raise this tobacco.
Now, think you will see clearly why
the man using imported seed can sell
when a man using home grown cam
not. [ wish to impress this upon you,
so that you can start right, more es-
pecially so since [ find, to my great
surprise, some men who should have
known better have this year been
growing tobacco from the home seed,
and when they 60 to sell it [ can say
to you positively that they will not
get much for it.
Profits.-'T have told you the i'm
portance of using the right kind of
seed, and [ will now say something
about the profits. [ have grown to-
bacco for many years in Wisconsin
and have made four crops in Florida.
The profits in Florida on land about
like this, you raise from five to six
hundred pounds to the acre. [ never
knew of any one raising any less than
500, and in Lakeland a man grew 500
pounds on three-quarters of an acre.
If the grower will use ordinary care,
he will have one-third wrapper and
| twO-thirds filler Now, if you raise
600 pounds to the acre, you would
have 200 pounds wrapper, and when I
raised it we got 81 per pound and had
to compete with Cuba; but now, ow-
ing to the war in Cuba, they are get
ting $3.50 per pound. But [ will be
conservative and call it 81; this would
make $500. Then you would have 400
pounds filler worth IS cents per
pound, which would be $500, making
a total of $500. consider these prices
| just as certain as a merchant does
when he buys goods at one price and
expects to sell at another. The high
est [ ever paid for growing an acre of
tobacco was $32. The reason I only re-
ceived IS cents per pound for the 1000
pounds was because [ had not cured
or sorted it. If I had sorted and cured
| it, [ would have received a much bet
ter price; but as I received a thou
sand dollars for what only cost me
one hundred, was satisfied.
The Curing Process.-''In regard to
the curing of tobacco, I think I know
great deal about it q think I have
a right to say this without appearing

might look at this leaf, and say, what
a fine leaf that u.s. but that would not
be any criterion of it's quality. There
is nothing scarcely in the growing
leaf that will give you an idea of
what the tobacco will be like. The
test of cigar tobacco is the aroma,
burning qualities, taste, etc. How is
the growing leaf to tell you anything
about these three tests? Now, in re-
gard to this departure from the origi
nal plant, [ will call your attention to
this sample here; that is home grown
seed of Florida, the leaf looks fine,
but it is of very little value, as any
expert will tell you. Here is a sam
and 1 told the parties who grew it
they had better put it on the manure
pile. [ showed it to Mr.. Gonzalez to-
day and, and he studied awhile, and
then said it must have been grown in
Pennsylvania. Then he said Wiscon-
sin, and when [ told him it was
grown from Abajo seed grown in
Florida, he would hardly believe it,
You can see difference in each year of
the home grown seed, and if you
brought such tobacco to the buyers
they would tell you that we know
hi fo1
not handle it. Now, I think it is very
clear why the buyers did not want
the Middle Florida tobacco. 1t was
because it was raised from home
grown seed; the farmers were told
they could grow just as good from
that kind of seed as from the import
ed. The year the buyers refused to
handle the Quincy tobacco, the Owl
Tobacco Company grew 600 acres,
they used imported seed, and grew
fine tobacco, and made big profits.
used imported seed in Wisconsin I'M
til our Agricultural Associa ton exper-
imented until they got seed which
would produce well when raised in
Wisconsin, then i used that. This to-
bacco [ have here is known as Cuban
tobacco, but if you grow it in Florida
from any other than imported seed,
you will have Florida tobacco. Now,
[ do not want anyone contemplating
raising tobacco to try any other ex-
cept imported Abajo seed, as
am firmly convinced there is no man
living who can dispute the facts that
[ have just stated.
Cigar Tobacco.-Now cigar tobac-
co, to be a success, must be all of one
kind. The cigar maker, in order to
get out a new line of goods, must get
new boxes, labels, get his workmen
accustomed to the new size of cigar,
and, taking it altogether, he has to go
to a great deal of expense. If he
makes a good cigar, and the quality
of the tobacco is regular, and his pat
rons know just what to expect, he
will make money; ON the other hand,
| if he fails, he will lose considerably.

| tobacco dealers in New York, told me

A Lecture on Tobacco.

livered an address Oh tobacco culture
as follows:
81 would like this evening to go
over the entire subject of tobacco
growing, from the planting of the
seed to the making of the cigar, but
as l believe the majority of you do
not work in the fields yourselves, l
will only take up such portions of the
subject as [ think will interest you
most, and reserve the other for those
that do the work in the fields.
about ten years ago the industry
of growing tobacco was start
ed in Middle Florida with Mad
ison county about the center. The
first year we used imported Aba
10 seed, and raised good tobacco.
Buyers came from New York, Chica-
go, Cincinnati and many other places.
All of the tobacco grown averaged
about the same price of from 25 to 80
cents per pound. This was considered
good profits, as the growers made
about 500 over and above all eXpen-
ses per acre. We were happy, and the
buyers were pleased, and told us that
if we would only exercise little
more care they would give us better
prices. About this time the report
got out that the farmers could grow
their own seed, which would do just
as well, or little better, than the i'm
ported. The following year a good
many of them did so, and when grown
took the product of their home grown
seed to the buyers they were asked
where it was raised, they saying, we
have never seen tobacco like this
grown here before, and know nothing
about it. However, they took the best
of it. The third year the same thing
occurred, although the buyers took
some of the best, and all that grown
from the imported seed. The fourth
year they came and examined the to-
bacco, and said, we will take none of
it except that grown from imported
seed The tobacco was stored in a
warehouse, about 100000 pounds, and
it remained there three years, and
then the warehouse burned. My OBJ
ject in stating this is to show you
why the industry failed.
''The industry, owing to the war in
Cuba, has been revived, and much to
my establishment, they are starting
right where they left off and are
growing this same tobacco which the
buyers refused. The profit of raising
tobacco is in growing the right kind,
and this is why I am so earnest.
The Test of Good Tobacco.-When
the seed of a plant is transplanted
well known fact that the first year it
is planted it produces almost the
identical plant the original seed was
grown upon; the next year the differ
ence is little greater and
it keeps on departing from the
original until it becomes acclimated,
then it will not change any further.
This is especially true of tobacco; the
seed that we imported from the Aba
jo district in Cuba grew this tobacco
