A Tobacco Exposition.

Tobacco culture in Florida on an
extensive scale can safely be regard
ed as a fixed fact. The farmers i'm all
parts of the state are interesting
themselves, and a large acreage of
the weed will be planted. No more
profitable crop could be grown and
we are pleased to observe that many
farmers have dropped onto this fact.
The Barlow Courier-Informant calls
attention to the fact that number
of citizens of Hillsborough county
met a few days ago and organized a
local tobacco association, after which
Col. T. T. Wright spoke of the innum-
cradle advantages of an organization
of this kind and suggested the FEAST
bility of having a Florida tobacco ex-
position in Tampa next winter when
the state is full of tourists. He
thought that Col. j. B. Briggs, of Rus,
sellville, KY, president of the Nation
al Tobacco Growers Association, who
is largely interested in Winter Hav-
en-, would endorse the idea. He sug-
gested that Gov. Bloxham call the
convention and issue general invi-

Ft. Meade Sales.

There have been several sales of to-
bacco reported this week and many
others have received good offers, but
are still holding it for a better price.
Mr.. Sturgiss had about one-quarter
of an acre in tobacco on which he
spent about seven dollars for fertil-
izer. Last week he sold his crop to
Mr.. LAME and received about $127 for
it. This would mean $3.50 per acre.
Mr. Sturgiss says this beats pension
all to pieces.
F. N. Warm had a small acreage in
tobacco for which he recently re-
ceived $3.50.
Martin Hayman had a little patch
of tobacco which the children had
cultivated for which $45 was realized.
John Wilson harvested about sixty
poles, and his cash receipts were $65.
Chas. Stansfeld sold his crop for
$16O, and Thompson & Mooring re-
ceived 1925 and $3.50 respectively.
Messrs. Krause and Picket re
ceived $3.50 for their small crop.
Some time ago we had occasion to
mention George Mac G. Craig's fine
tobacco crop. Yesterday Mr.. Craig
disposed of his crop and received
1926 for it. AS we stated before, Mr..
Craig planted three acres; for one
acre he received $500, 1926 for the
other two. We understand that 500
will more than pay for all the expen-
ses in making the crop. This means
1926 for three months work or al
most $3.50 per month.
Some of the other small sales are
the following: r. j. Hogson, $25; III.
Holland, $11O; L. B. Flood, $35; Tap
lin, $685.
In most of these sales reported
above the tobacco was simply Jumped
for so many dollars, consequently we
cannot give the exact number of
pounds in each case, but the prevail
ing price for pole cured tobacco has
