The Tobacco Fair.

We bespeak for the Tobacco Fair to
be held at Lake City on the 25th and
21th the support and encouragement
of the people of Florida, especially
those who have recently engaged in
the tobacco industry. We think it will
pay every man who grows tobacco, Or
expects to grow it, to attend this fair.
Tobacco culture i'm Florida is one of
the new lind ustries The tobacco grow
ers for a time will have to travel prac-
ticallv the same road travelled by the
orange growers twenty years ago.
They will be developing new indus
try-they will be cropping in the dark
they will be experimenting. AS this
is true it is evident that they will be
able to profit by AN interchange OF
views and experiences. At the tobac-
co fair they will not only see the
products of their co-laborers but they
will come in contact with the produc-
ers. They can learn from these men
their methods of procedure and as the
result of their proceedings will be in
evidence i'm the form of exhibits much
valuable information cam be obtained.
Bv all means attend the tobacco
fair if you are i'm amy way interested
in the production of tobacco.

Florida Serene.

1t is gratifying to note that while
most of the Southern States are panic
stricken over yellow fever, Florida is
cool, comfortable and serene. There is
an entire absence of fear and panic.
This lis not because our people do not
know the dangers of the plague when
it once gets rooted in a city or COM
munity-they have had some expert
ence in the MATTER and have every
reason to fear it. 1t lis this knOwl-
edge that is our safeguard. Our au-
thorities know that yellow fever cam
not originate i'm Florida; hence they
know that if the importation of the
plague can be prevented we will never
have AN epidemic.
Although Florida is the most expos
ed of the Southern States to cOnta-
gion, by reason of her proximity and
intercourse with Cuba, which is the
incubating point of the plague, it
speaks volumes for the efficiency of
our quarantine service and the intell1-
gence of our health officers, that Flor
ida has escaped while other points
not so exposed have been afflicted. 1t
is the perfect confidence of our peo-

INSPECTION of Seeds.

Seed inspection by the state expert
ment station is required by new law
in Maine. It provides that agriculture
al seeds in lots of one pound or more
shall be accompanied by guarantee
percentage of purity and freedom
from foreign matter, under penalty
of $500 for the first offense and 5000
for each subsequent offense. Dealers
may base their guarantees upon tests
conducted by themselves or their
agents, or by the station, provided
that such tests are made under such
conditions as the director may pre-
scribe. In Bulletin SO the Maine sta
ton gives forms for such inspection,
the charge being 81 per sample and
25 cents additional for each kind of
seed said to be in mixtures. Seeds

Laws Against Insect Pest.

AT the national convention for the
Suppression of Insect Pests and Plant
Diseases by Legislation, held in Wash
ineton March, 1897, Mr.. B. T. Gallo
way, chief of the Department of Veg
etable Physiology and Pathology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, read an interesting paper on the
necessity of State and national laws
against the introduction of insects
pests. We make the following ex-
tracts from the paper:
Every state should have protective
measures of it's own. The State Board
of Horticulture of California was the
first to be created in the country.
Other Pacific States have followed the
example, but the boards are not sup
ported by their legislatures as they
should be. The creation of any such
board without moral support and fl
nancial aid is of no value, and can &C
complish no good to the state. Unless
amply provided with means and strin-
gent laws, the undertaking of estab-
fishing such board should not be at
tempted.
Much has been said and written of
late in regard to the San Jose scale,
which has been introduced into the
East and some of the Southern States
on infected fruit from California. The
fault, if any there be, lies with the
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-10-13

no national law or regulation to pre-
vent the introduction into the United
States of even such a terrible pest as
the Australian, rabbit and as there
are other ports of entry outside of
this state where they can be landed
that it would be wise for congress to
enact stringent law leaving no loop
hole for thoughtless or careless people
to bring such pests and when found
to provide for their immediate de-
structiOn.

Tax Sale Certificates.

Tax Sale Certificates.
The redemption of tax sale certifi-
Gates has been a source of SO much
trouble that State Treasurer James B.
Whitfield has prepared the following
instruction on the subject, hoping
that errors and trouble may be avoid
ed in the future:
''The law requires that all redemp-
two years next succeeding the date
of the tax sale must be made through
the clerk of the circuit court of the
county wherein the land lies by pay
ing to the clerk of the circuit court
the amount for which the land was
sold, with interest thereon at the rate
of Is per cent per annum, and so cents
redemption fees. When the certificate
is held by the State it shall be the
duty of the clerk to give the party so
redeeming, receipt for all the mon
ey paid, and to forward forthwith to
collected, except the redemption fee
of SO cents, and the CLERK shall notify
the comptroller what lands have been
redeemed, and the name of the OWN
err, and what amount has been re-
ceived.
'The state treasurer will, upon re-
ceipt of the money, cancel the certif-
icates and forward them to the clerk.
The clerk will, upon receipt of the GER
tifcates from the treasurer, deliver
them to the owner Or agent, creditor
other person redeeming the land, and
take up his original receipt for the
moneys paid to him for redemption
upon the list recorded in his office.
Section So, chapter 1922, laws of 1895.
"After the expiration of two years
from the date of tax sales, the certi-
ficates of such sales held by the state
must be purchased from the state
treasurer, under section So, chapter
1922, laws of 1895, Or purchased Or re
deemed from the state treasurer I'M
der section 1893, revised statutes. The
payment of fees for the clerk of the
circuit court to the state treasurer is
not authorized i'm either case. The fees
of the clerk of the circuit court pre-
scribed by law must be collected by
him when the certificate lis presented
to the clerk by the holder under Sec
tion 60, chapter 1922, laws of 1895"

measures to prevent the Introduction
of such pests.
Prior to 1880 California occupied the
same position. We had no state legis-
lation for the protection of the hor-
ticultural interests, and the Eastern
and Southern nu1serymen found our
state a convenient dumping ground
for all their pest ridden trees, until
we became alive to the dangers be-
fore us through yearly loss, and secur-
ed the creation of the State Board of
Horticulture and the enactment of
protective horticultural legisla ton.
When we established a quarantine
against eastern trees, especially from
districts where the peach yellows and
peach rosette exist, the nurserymen
of the East in convention declared
that we had done SO in the interest OF
boycott against the eastern dealer.
When we established the same quaran-
tine against the introduction of nur-
sery stock from one county into an
other the nurserymen here then de-
clared it was a boycott in favor of
nurserymen of each county. But what
was the result? Each nurseryman
pays strict attention and sees that his
stock is clean before shipment, else it
will be quarantined at destination and
a certificate of inspection before ship
ment must accompany each shipment.
The railroad company will not deliv-
err the trees until passed upon by the
local inspector. The eastern nursery
man can ship his trees into the State,
provided he complies with the exist
ing laws and regulations, which in
sure to the grower clean and healthy
trees, and to the nurseryman a better
and larger trade. Or in other words
nurserymen are compelled by law to
provide clean and healthy trees to
their customers and to be honest in
their dealings. Each State should vie
with the others to secure such legis-
lation as shall benefit the entire ma
ton. At present there is no law pro-
viding for the inspection of export
shipments, Or shipments going out of
the state, and if all other states would
have protective legislation it would
compel the growers here to be more
careful, and no infected fruit would
ever leave the state. And while this
would protect every state it would
also help us in compelling shippers
and growers to ship only clean and
bright fruit.
In order to prevent the introduction
of foreign pests into the United
States, stringent laws should be en-
acted by congress and a strict quar-
antine established at every port of en-
try A law should also be passed pro
viding for the inspection Of all cut
tings and plants by mail. At present
what could prevent the introduction
of the curculio or the gypsy moth into
any state? There are many curious
people who while travelling find curl
Gus things or things which they think
curious and collect and send these
cllrios to their friends through the
mail TINS Derhaps introducing pests

ache may be glad to learn a few simple
and safe remedies. Where the pain is
caused by a sudden cold, steam will
generally effect cure. TO do this make
a strong infusion of catnip or hops and
catnip mixed While this is sleeping,
have small stones heating in the fire.
Place the patiert in a chair. throwing
q heavy shawl or blanket over the
head and letting it fall around the per-
son. Let them hold the basin of hot
catnip, into which drop one of the hot
stones The basin should he held as
near the ear as possible and the shawl
securely fastened so the steam will be
kept inside. AS fast as it cools, drop
another hot stone in the basin, until re-
lief is obtained. Care should be taken
afterward about keeping the head pro-
tected. Hot griddlecakes will often
cure obstinate cases. Stir the cakes up
with wheat flour. using considerable
