Collector.

Collector.
Washington, Nov. 8 Yandell's res
ignation as Internal Revenue Collec-
tor of the Second District was placed
in the Presidents hands by Senator
Deboe this morning, and it has been
accepted.
Senator Deboe, DIR. Hunter and e.
t. Franks, Yandel's present Chief
Deputy Collector, called at the White
House, and when they emerged from
the Presidents room Franks face
wore pleasing smile.

Senator Deboe does not know
whether Yandell will be willing or not
to serve as Franks deputy, but SAYS
that he may have it if he wants it.

REPUBLICANS HAVE IT
But There's Talk of Defeating Hanna Up
in Ohio.

In Ohio.
Columbus, o., Nov. 6.-The con.
test for control of the Ohio Legisla-
ture is considered ended today. The
official counting in some counties will
continue next week, but there has
been such close watching that no
material changes are expected. The
indications are that the senate WIZ
stand l9 Democrats and IL Repub-
licans, and the House 81 Democrats
and So Republicans, with a majority
of five Republicans on joint ballot.
There may be several contested seats,
but these cannot be considered till
the Legislature meets, the first Mon
day in January next. Since it seems
to be settled that the Republicans.
have small majority on joint ballot,
the rumors are revived about a COM
bine of certain Republican members
with the seventy Democratic members
for the election of some other than
Senator Hanna on the Joint ballot.

Seat.
Mr.. John g. Duffy, the Democratic
candidate for Representative from
Christian county, will contest the
election of DR.. Andrew Sargent, his
Republican opponent, whose majority
is 456. The grounds of contest will
be that the election officers were not
divided as required by law in many
precincts, and frauds of various kinds
in the election. In two heavy Re-
publican precincts assistant clerks
were provided who were not sworn.
In one Crofton precinct 100 ballots
voted on colored sample ballots were
counted for Sargent. A strong case
will be made out.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-09-15

Mr.. j. C. Tilson of the same neigh
borhood was along with Mr.. Voyles
with 200 pounds of very indifferently
handled tobacco for which he received
$500 or 271a cents per pound. Both
of these gentlemen were well pleased
with their receipts, and although they
had been skeptical before, they were
ready to admit that G.. /. had been
presenting the tobacco question fair
ly, and in their opinion had not over
colored the prof bleness of the crop
one bit.
These gentlemen expressed the hope
that Barlow would become the central
market for the county by the time
the next crop was ready for sale SO
they would not have so far to haul.
This must be the case and here is a
work for our people to do. Let our
business men take up the subject in
time and see that we have buyers here
who will pay the highest price for the
crop.-Courier-I Informant.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-09-15

Two of the large buyers and hes,
known resident dealers of the Connec-
ticut valley have examined the crop
closely and declare the cure to be as
near perfect as it is possible to be Sc
cured and much better than the nat
ural cure. Artificial heat is used only
when natural conditions are poor.
The leaf must lose 40 to 60 per cent OF
4S hours. Tt is better to take the wa
ter out at once. If the leaf begins to
turn yellow, heat is stopped and cur
ing goes on of itself and the temper
allure in the barn is not allowed to
get higher than it would on a hot
summer day with the temperature
outside at IS degrees. Thus, the cur
ing is completely under the control of
the grower. If conditions become too
dry, water is thrown on the floor and
evaporation changes the trouble,
while if too wet, dry heat may be put
in. Man is thus made independent of
outside weather. Not unfrequent1y
much difficulty is experienced in cur
ing the midrib. In the case, a rotten
stem spoils leaf. It also contains less
water, thus making the weight less
for the seller This experiment in
curing leaf is regarded as the first
real advance ever made in the process
of curing Connecticut leaf. Already,
Mr.. J. A. DuBon, on whose farm the
experiments are being. made, is con-
sidering the curing of his Is acre crop
hereafter by this Professionalism
Agriculturist.

illustra ton herewith portrays a por-
ton of leaf as taken from the barn
of Mr.. DuBon and shows just how
spotted tobacco looks when cured.
The chemical used consists of pure
caustic soda, three pounds, to water
Is quarts, to which 11s pints of thick
est confectioners glucose is added.
Other chemicals such as potash, soda,
lime, ammonia and some acids have
been tried, but the '97 crop is being
spotted with the caustic soda process.
On light colored leaf, weaker solu-
sion should be used than on a darker
leaf. The solution must be applied
within four or five days of the harvest
long enough before the harvest SO
the spots will turn white or cream

the spots. The chemical should be ap-
piled between 10 a. m. and D. M, as
the leaves are then spread out more
fiat and will take and hold the LIQUID
more evenly.
The great difficulty is to get a spot
Of the right size. For that purpose,
an implement should be used that will
drop it on the leaf rather than shoot
it on promiscuously. DR.. jenkins used

| to the hired man.
Curing began July 81 and the crop
is now all cured except the midrib or
stem. The leaf was cured in two
weeks beyond the possibility of pole
burn or white vein. The temperature
was kept at not over two or three de-
grees above outside conditions. The
crop is a beauty as a careful il spec
ton will convince anyone. During
the curing process, the fires were
made up every three hours during the
day and allowed to go out at night,
this being kept up three days.
While the weather under natural con-
ditions has been unfavorable during
much of this time, ut no time has
there been the slightest possibility of
losing the crop.

Mr.. J. A. Voyles who lives above
Auburndale passed through here one
day last week with little wagon load
of tobacco which he carried to Messrs.
Gartner q Evans and returned the
following day with a check for $3.50
for what he had, including the stalk
or AZ cents for the net leaf. He has
another small load to deliver which
will bring about $1O50O, thus making
him a total of $225.00 from three-quar-
ters of an acre of land. Mr.. Voyles

Whether Sumatra tobacco is handi-

it is bound to find a strong COMPETE
tor in northern cigar leaf if the eX-
periments to mottle the leaf, as be-
ing conducted in various parts of each
cigar leaf growing state, turn out as

A most elaborate experiment is be-

constructed curing barn at Windsor,

perfectly tight or when desired venti-

through four rows Of stove pipe which
lie on the ground. AS the warm air
from them rises it carries moisture
from the hanging tobacco leaves with
it. The process of spotting had not
been patented up to this year and DR..
Jenkins gives it to tobacco growers
for what it is worth. DR.. Jenkins
does not recommend the formula be-
cause of some fear that the treated
tobacco will not pass through the
sweat to the best advantage but this

as to this disputed point. Since the

Preparing Tobacco for Market.


Preparing Tobacco for Market.
Certain buyers of tobacco at Palat-
ka have issued the following instruc-
tons to those who have tobacco to
sell:
The tobacco must be first thorough
ly dried, that is, it must have hung
sufficiently long upon the pole to
completely expel all signs of green
ness
Never attempt to handle the tobac-
co in dry weather, for if you do il will
crumble and break, much to your
loss. The best time to select or send
or bring your tobacco in will be a
damp day or the day after a rain. We
will say that it rains today, then to-
night leave your barn, holding the to-
open, but so that should it rain no
water could touch the tobacco. In
the morning early, at daylight or
sooner, begin taking the tobacco from
the poles, taking the lower poles first.
Take down the tobacco flexible to the
touch, such as will not be in danger
of breaking or crumbling. When you
reach poles containing tobacco that is
dry, lower these down to the lowest
part of the rack, SO that they may re-
ceive the dampness which always pre-
walls near the ground.
After taking the tobacco down, take
up each stock carefully and strip the
leaves from it, beginning with the
lower leaf, being cautious that you do
not tear the leaves, for in this way
you may ruin your best tobacco.
AS the leaves are taken from the
stock lay them down in piles of about
one hundred, with their stems in the
same direction. Then take a strip of
cloth about half inch wide and tie
them around the middle, not too tight,
into a bunch. 1t is then ready to be
packed and brought in to the curing
house.
Those who have to freight their to-
bacco will pack it, without MASKING,
in boxes or barrels, being careful not
to expose it to the sun Or rain. Those
who can haul their tobacco in may ar
range a rack on their wagon body and
pile the tobacco on it, guarding
against rain or from water below. II
they have far to haul it, they may
cover it with some kind of cloth and
put a layer of green moss on it to
shield it from the suns rays
Do not permit the tobacco to re-
main in piles or the boxes or barrels
longer than absolutely necessary.
When it is packed, it should be hur-
ried to the curing house.
Above all, do not permit the tobac-
co to get wet, either by rain Or other
means. The atmospheric dampness is
all it needs.
