Important to Tobacco Growers.

Mesa d Co. are now prepared to re-
section and would ask all who have
their tobacco in perfectly pole cured
state to ship it, or bring it to the va
can't store room next to East Florida
Savings and Trust Company's bank,
in Palatka, so that it can be put
at once through the final curing pro
cess.
Those who have tobacco must care
fully follow the following instruc-
tons:
The tobacco must be first thorough
ly dried, that is, it must have hung
sufficiently longupon the pole to COM
pletely expel all signs Of greenness.
Never attempt to handle the tobac-
co in dry wea Their, for if you do it will
crumble and break, much to your loss.
The best time to select to send, or
bring your tobacco in, will be damp
day or the day after rain. We will
say that it rains today, then tonight
leave your barn, holding the tobacco,
with it's windows and doors 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
drv, 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 thi:; 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 a 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
arrange a rack on their wagon body
and pile the tobacco on it, guarding
against rain or from water be-
low. If 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
Bring in all that is pole cured

Millions of Tobacco Plants.

Tobacco plants will be plentiful
here, Notwithstanding the reports of
numerous failures.
Having heard of the remarkable
plant beds belonging to Mr.. Willie
Warn we went out on Monday to see
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-08-11


covered with fine, healthy, vigorous
plants from the genuine Vueita AbaJo
seed, of all ages, from those just com
ing up to a few already large enough
to be set out into the fields.
There are some $50 to 200 beds
three feet wide by thirty-siX feet long
which means certainly from two and
half to three million plants or
enough to supply plants at the rate of
2OO,O0O to the acre for $50 acres. These
plants are for sale as may be seen
from an advertisement elsewhere in
this paper and we are glad to be able
to make this fact known as many VINO
have failed to succeed with their own
beds will wish to know where they
can procure plants which they can de-
pend upon as being the right kind
and which can be bought at reasona-
bic prices.
In view of the success which our
young friend Warn has made it will
probably be of value to our readers to
know something of the methods
adopted.
In the first place a plat of low,
damp, palmetto hammock land was
selected. This was carefully cleared
and everything burned thereon more
than year ago. About eighteen
inches below the surface is bed Of
pebble phosphate, the eighteen inches
largely vegetable mould doubtless.
The water is within two feet Of the
top of the ground and in consequence
the plat is always damp and in addi-
ton to this an inexpensive and yet
very perfect system of providing irri-
cation has been arranged as follows:
Oil barrels, about twenty-five or thir
ty feet apart, connected with inch and
a half piping were placed all over the
grounds and from the we'll in the
center of the field water is drawn and
poured into a tub which is higher
than the barrels and thus in a few
minutes all the barrels are filled. An
ordinary sprinkler is then used and
the Watering is done about as easily
as it could be with more expensive
plant.
The seed are scattered on the beds
and then pressed down with a board
after which the beds are sprinkled |
and shaded.
For protection from both sun and
rain frames three feet wide by eigh-
teen or twenty feet long covered with
buraps, which were obtained by rip
ping open grain sacks, are used. Two |
of these frames cover a full bed and |
being arranged so that by taking
hold of one side in the center it can
be stood on edge and leaned against |
posts provided for the purpose one
man can cover or uncover all the beds
in very few moments. These covers |
are lowered before showers and the
washing, beating force of the rains
are thus broken.
AS it becomes necessary to thin out
the beds, the surplus plants are taken
up and reset in adjoining beds pre-
pared for the purpose and thus many |

Tobacco and the Pea Weevil.


now at hand word of precaution
born of experience may not be amiss.
Last year | cured my crop so per-
fecti" and boxed it with such care
that no apprehension of portending
evil was felt
BY the time it was set aside the
crop of cow peas which followed was
harvested and the tobacco scaffolding
was utilized for curing the crop.
AS spring advanced an occasional
pea bug was seen scurrying about
when the fodder was disturbed, but it
never occurred to me that they would
leave their natural habitat for cured
tobacco, even if accessible.
Several times during the winter and
spring samples were taken out, but
the boxes were closed at once, and the
samples were always intact. No eff
fort was made to sell, for every as
suraDce was felt that this is one crop
which can safely wait for a market.
Besides, l had concluded to donate
it to the building of our much needed
school house, and negotiations were
were being kept up with cigar max
ers in the hope of enhancing it's val
lie by converting it into cigars.
Finally all hope of establishing
cigar factory having vanished, pur-
chaser was sought. To this end sam
pies were taken out about the first of
June, and an ominOus bit of dust on
one of the hands made us anxious to
be rid of it, although not a worm
could be found.
was offered for a crop which [ had
nursed and petted with all the fond
ness of a mother for her babe, and at
an expenditure of ninety-siX cents
per pound. But it was a pleasure to
witness it's marvellous growth, and
note the ease with which it was cured
and so far the experiment was a glow
ing success. But when an expert
came to repack it much damage was
found to have been done, and nearly
one-fourth was thrown out lest it
should give the matter away.
The damage was found to have
been done by the pea weevil-an in
significant little fly which burrows in
peas saved for late planting.
Well, the moral if a subject of
questionable morality has any, is to
keep your tobacco and fodder widely
apart. But it remains to be said that
sufficient evidences Of insect ravages
remained to lodge complaint and
leave the outcome a doubt. Quite
likely the purchaser believed he was
getting dollar tobacco for twenty
five cents and will feel injured in
holding it for nothing.
The most hopeful way out Of meet
ing this misfortune is for the DeLand
Tobacco Co. to sell it's crop early, and
devote the proceeds to the cause of
education. Anyhow [ shall be glad
to have my fifty dollars go that way

AS To Horses.

The large majority Of farmers who
own horses seen to be quite anxious
to get rid of them, even at a low
price, says the Breeder and Sports
man. Where the farm is mortgaged,
and the horses be spared better
than anything on the farm, this is
all right, as it is better to lose the
horse than home; but where it is
not, we regard it as very unwise and
foolish, says the kentucky Stock
Farm. In a country like ours,
where one extreme follows another,
it is not wise to float with the cur
rent or follow the herd. From
1880 to 1890 we bred entirely too
many horses of all classes, and as a
natural CONSCIENCE we are now
suffering a period OF low prices.
Our next predicament, if all signs
do not fail will be a great scarcity
of horses. We base this opinion
upon the fact that everybody is
selling and that very few are breed
ing. We do not belive there are
more than ten per cent of the horses
being bred in the United States to
day that there we're six years ago.
This can not possible help but pro
duce a great shortage in supply, can
have but one effect--namely, to in
crease the price. AS it takes five
years to produce a four-year-old and
as the time can not be abridged
by any possible means, and as the
breeding began to fall off quite
materially in 1898, four years ago,
the shortage is bound to begin to
manifest itself inside of the next
two years. The producer of mares
bred this season will not be four
years old, 0 T ready for market be-
fore 1902, and between this and
that time we predict that there will
be a much greater shortage of horses
of all kinds than has been in this
country for many years.
