Curing Tobacco in Florida.


Washington, d. c., contains the fol-
lowing:
There are two important tobacco
areas in Florida-the old area, in the
northwestern part of the state on
the Layfayette clays, and the new
area, in the center of the peninsula,
around Ocala, Barlow, Fort Meade
and adjacent towns. The soil is quite
different, but the tobacco is treated
in essentially the same way in both
localities. Both Cuban and Sumatra
tobaccOs are grown in the northern
and western parts of the state, while
mainly Cuban tobacco is grown in the
peninsula.
''The Sumatra tobacco is planted in
rows feet apart and ~ inches apart
in therow. 1t is not topped until quite
late and the field we'll in bloom, and
from twenty-four to twenty-siX leaves
are left on the plant. This thick
planting, and the large number of
leaves left on the stalk, insures small
leaves of thin texture. The tobacco is
primed- that is, the leaves are gath
cred as they ripen, being cut off in
pairs. The harvest is thus prolonged,
and frequently lasts from June 18th
to September 18th, none of the leaves
being taken off until they show signs
of being ripe.
''The Sumatra tobacco when plant
ed early in the season is without
spots, and makes what is known as
the plain wrapper. When planted late
it spots freely.
''The Cuban tobacco is a smaller
plant. The leaves are smaller and only
about twelve or fifteen are left on a
plant. On the peninsula, especially at
Fort Meade, a great deal of the tObac
co land is irrigated by overhead
sprays. 1t is claimed that this ma
terially hastens the maturity of the
CROP so that it ripens in from forty
five to ffty-fve days from the date Of
setting out. 1t is usual to grow two
or three sucker crops from each
planting, and two or three paintings
can be made each year in that local
ity. The sucker crop is not fit for
wrappers as a rule, as it is too strong.
1t makes a good, strong filler
CATER printing, the leaves are put
into baskets and carried to the barn in
covered wagons. They are then strung
on strings, tied tolaths a finger width
apart, making from forty to fifty
pairs of leaves on each lath. The laths
are hung up in we'll ventilated barns
and allowed to dry When thoroughly
dry and the leaves are in proper case.
or order, they are stripped off and
tied into hands. These hands are then
bulked for the sweat, the Cuban and
Sumatra tobaccos being kept sepa-
rate.
''The bulks may be built up directly
on the floor, or the leaves may be put
into bins. In large establishments
the temperature and heating of the
room can be thoroughly regulated to
secure uniform progress of the fer
mentation This is done by steam
pipes to warm the room, in which
there are vents for the escape OF

makes it difficult to breathe
The bulk is watched very closely,
and as the temperature rises it is torn
down, each hand of tobacco lis taken
up and shaken thoroughly to dry it a
little, to Gull it slightly, and to open
the leaves so that they will not stick
together. Before the sweat is COM
pleted the bulk is pulled down and
built up eight or ten times, according
to the condition of the tobacco 1t is
impossible, even for an expert curer,
to give explicit directions as to when
the bulk should be turned, as it de-
ponds entirely upon the condition of
the tobacco and the temperature it
attains, and these must be deter
mined by the operator.
1.-THE temperature must rise grad
ually, and if it is found to be rising
too rapidly, the bulk is torn down and
a fresh one built up. Sometimes the
bulk is not up over twenty-four hours
before it is torn down again and built
up afresh. If the tobacco is in high
case, that is, quite moist, the bulks
have to be turned over frequently in
order to prevent too rapid action and
shake out the leaves which would
otherwise stick together. If bulk,
nS no oh
is turned over and mixed with a bulk
which is in high case. The tobacco
should never be sprinkled in this
stage of the process to bring it into
case.
''The ten. perature of the pile is al
lowed to rise gradually until it occas-
ionally reaches $50 degrees F. The
fermentation is then at it's highest.
From this point the temperature sub
sides until the fermentation is COM
plete and the bulk attains the normal
temperature of the room. This maxi
mum temperature must not be
reached too quickly, and it must be
managed differently with the differ
ent tObaccOs. The fermentation must
be carefully controlled, and not al
lowed to go too far with the wrapper
leaf. With the filler the further it
goes and the more intense the action
the stronger and finer will the tobac-
co be for its purpose, if the work is
judciously done. AS matter of fact,
it is not unusual to resweat the filler
leaf to bring out the strong, rich pro-
perties which it is desired to develop.
AS the fermentation does not extend
to the bottom of the pile, it is Gus
tomary to put eight or ten inches of
trash, which has already been sweat
ed, on the bottom; and where bins
are used a layer of trash is also put
around the sides.
''After the sweat the tobacco is
then very carefully sorted. The wrap
per leaf is sorted into four grades of
light wrappers and four grades of
dark wrappers, according to the
length of the leaves These are placed
in small boxes on either side of the
operator, and when box is full the
leaves are taken out and put up into
''carottes'' Cylindrical rolls). The
carottes are made up into bales, SINH

A Friend of Florida.

H. Curtis, land commissioner of the
Florida Central O. Peninsular Rail
road, was IN the city yesterday. Mr..
Curtis has been instrumental in dis
tribu'ting large quantity of tobacco
seed among the farmers of Florida,
and has also so aroused their interest
in tobacco culture, that a splendid
crop has been made this year. 4-e is
enthusiastic over the future Of tobac>
co growing in Florida, and is satisfied
that it will be source of great
wealth.-Times-U Union & Citizen.
w. III. Beckwith told The Herald a
day or two ago about some trees in
his grove at Valrico that are Begin
ming to be something like they were
before the freeze of two years ago.
From twenty-five trees he expects to
harvest $50 crates, and one single tree
is estimated to carry 1000 oranges to-
day. This tree is a Seeding, thirty
years old, and twenty-seven inches ill
diameter. Before the freeze, it several
times yielded 5000 oranges and the
owner thinks it had 10000 at the time
of the freeze. The present crop is
easily worth $50, and it would not
take many trees like it to support a
man in reasonable comfort. Tampa

The ladies of the Tallahassee Town
Improvement Association have inaug-
urated an active fall campaign. They
have put Bloxham Park in first class
condition, have cleaned up Leon Park,
and now. with the aid and consent of
the city council, will improve Church
Park-Floridian.
