40 to $50 gallons and leaves treated
and fed to the worms. Young worms
were found to be more quickly killed
than old worms. Young worms lived
an average of Az days during their
eating of the poisoned food, while the
older worms lived an average of near
ly 1914 days.
The length of time required to kill
worms increased as the strength of
the mixture used diminished. The
average length of life of all the lots of
worms of all sizes, after the expert
ment began, treated with a mixture
consisting Of Paris green one pound
and water 40 gallons, was four days,
while the average for the lots which
had been treated with the mixture
consisting of one pound in $50 gallons
was IA days. When worms were
young, weak mixtures were found to
serve as well as strong ones.-South-

Tobacco Fever.

The tobacco fever is spreading
steadily in Manatee county and it's
results are constantly more noticea-
ble 1t is extremely infectious and
seems to spread chiefly from the Man
aztec hammock, where it has been
found until lately in the most viru-
lent form. 1t develops very slowly,
yet it's early stages can be easily dis
tinguished. Frequently in the CONVEX
sation of these people occurs the fa~
miliar phrases, GAS good as Havana
$3.50 pound" "Gray hmmock,' -
''Two sucker crops" '$1, 900 an acre.
Cuban expert" ''Vuelta Abajo," etc.
Persons in advanced tsages carry
around in various pockets leaves of
tobacco which resemble oiled silk, and
sample cigars. The last stages have
not been reached in any cases so far,
but we expect to hear in few months
of swollen bank accounts and pocket
books which can probably be easily
reduced by local applications with sat
isfactory results. tt is genrally be-
lieved that the fever will continue to
spread. A very genral activity COM
bined with frequent relapse is expect
ed after the last stages have been
reached in few of the now most for
ward cases. It is a new disease among
us, but one which can be relied upon
to become permanent and of contin-
ual occurrence in the future. There
is no antidote at present sufficiently
powerful to have any Alternative effect.

it take its natural course, and the re-

Value Of Unions.

President T. B. Hickenlooper, of the
Putnam County Tobacco Growers AS
ISOLATION makes some very sensible
remarks in an article published in the
Palatka Times-Herald. He says: AS
tobacco growers, we have hitched on
to big weight not SO large but that
our united strength and wisdom could
pull it to a successful issue. But like
the ant we don't all pull the same way
or in the same direction, and are pull
ing against each other; each having
method of his own. One wants to
sweat his tobacco on the farm, anoth-
er wants all to unite and consolidate
all the tobacco into a central ware
house and have it sweated and graded
by one who understands it, each mem
Der paying his proportion of the ex-
penses; still others want to ''sell from
the poles' as soon as dry, if possible.
So there is no concert of opinion
and will be no concert in action. Prob

The Tobacco Worm.

The tobacco worm pest was last
year the most destructive ever known
in Kentucky. Their advent was so
sudden that before the seriousness of
the outbreak was realized, tobacco
that had been the pride of it's owner,
and showed scarcely mutliated leaf,
was severely injured.
Treated with Paris green large num-
bers were destroyed. But to arrive at
definite conclusions as to their de-
struction, the experiment station at
Lexington conducted experiments
with $50 worms, large and small.
with quantities of water varying from
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-07-07

ably one-half of what is raised in the
county this year will be spoiled in the
sweating process. Beginners usually
spoil their first crop, but it will be
good object lesson, and they can prob
ably afford to lose summers work in
testing the weather, of just how much
they know about the delicate and par
ticular process, and they can hold it
in memory for future reference.
Either success Or failure might be
easy of accomplishment. Disjointed
efforts, in any undertaking, mean fail
ure. Combined effort, with wise coun-
sci, means success.
The only way our small and mex
perienced tobacco growers can make
success of the business will be to join
the Tobacco Growers Association and
use their best efforts to have a central
curing house established, and all con-
centrate their crops; thus insuring
a ready market.
Interest in tobacco culture does not
abate in this section. Most people rec
ognize that tobacco growing is to be
the future staple industry of South
Florida and during the past six
months it has assumed immense pro-
portions in Hillsborough county. The
farmer who does not raise a crop Of
tobacco this year will make mistake.
Tampa Times.
No doubt in the world about this.
If you don't do your experimenting
this year you will have to do it next.
Try one or two hundred plants and
you will get good many points that
will be valuable to you when you come

Good Tobacco.

Isaiah Wilson, who lives near Fort
Meade, brought to town last Satur-
day 1O6 pounds of cured and betuned
tobacco The first lot of any size
which we have seen in town. He cul
tivated little less than one-fourth Of
an acre last fall and as he got in late
he only had one cutting. This gave
him PIP pounds after it was pole dried
and this he carried to Mr.. Thorn, the
Cuban expert, and had him to betune
and when it had gone through all the
process of drying, picking, assortinE,
ETC., there was 106 pounds left and it
was this lot that he brought to town.
There were no buyers for this product
here and of course we cannot say what
it will bring out judging from it's
splendid texture, color and flavor we
should say that it is worth ST. a pound
This would make $1O6 for the lot from
less than one-quarter of an acre from
which $1O.61 is to be deducted for be-
tuning, leaving $3.50 or about $500
per acre.
Is there anything better for one cut
ting when it is easy to get four every
year?-Ft. Meade Times.

Wants to Learn the Business.


Editor of the Florida Agficultasist:
A copy of your paper being sent me,
1 see that you kindly consent to give
information as to tobacco growing,
etc. Now I am interested in tobacco
culture in the south, and would like
to come to Florida and engage in the
business, burt 1 am not a capitalist,
and in order to learn the business 1
would have to engage with some to-
bacco grower this year to learn the
business of growing and curing, and
also to pay my way and get money
ahead to engage in the business next
year.
Now could you point me to some
man or company, say the Owl Com
pany, who could give me employment?
G.. d. Colfesh.
Lewis Centre, Ohio.
Yes, we could point you to the Owl
Cigar Company, of Quincy, or the Fort
Meade Tobacco Co., Fort Meade, Fla.
Your plan is the best one for those
not familiar with growing tobacco be-
fore going in for themselves.
