Tobacco Growers Fair, the Governor,
can grow the best tobacco, and just
see how rapidly she has forged to the
front in this new line. In 1890 the
State raised 100000 pounds; and here
in 1897, 100000 pounds, valued at
81 100000 In Polk county one firm
raised 100000 pounds and sold it for
81 per pound. These are eloquent
facts. And you will find that wher-
ever tobacco is successfully grown
there the agricultural classes are most
prosperous
"These statistics,'' he continued,
"were secured from the Commissioner
of Agriculture, but my estimate is
much larger, or about as follows:
1885,. 80. 80. 80. 100000 pounds
1896. . ..... :. 100000 pounds
1897 :. ...... ...... 100000 pounds
Mr.. Curtis estimates that the crop
of 1897 will be about 100000 pounds
"It may be greater than that" said
he, but am inclined to believe that
the farmers of Florida, until they Sc
cure expert handlers, Or learn the cur
ing process themselves, will not go in
to tobacco culture recklessly, but will
pursue the conservative course and
grow tobacco in an experimental
way"

exhibit was quite unique and well ar
ranged. This collection had been on
exhibit at Nashville for some time I'M
der the charge of A. Canova, and was
on it's way home. Nearly everything.
in the tobacco line from growing
plants to the finished article was
tastefully arranged, together with
various photographs o. tobacco fields
and farms. 1t is said that this dis
play created a good deal of favorable
comment at Nashville and it certainly
was appreciated by the visitors at
Lake City.
Prof. F. B. Noodles display, while
not pretentious in arrangement, con-
tanned some fine specimens of the
display was a carrot of tobacco which
took some of the first premiums, the
merits of the tobacco is beyond dis
pute. Prof. Noodle evidently work
ed for quality and not display. In his
display was a carrot . tobacco which
was awarded gold medal at the Gin
cinnati Centennial ten years ago, as
against the world.
The DeLand Board of Trade had on
display a sample of their barn cured
tobacco which was equal 10 any un-
finished article there and was pro-
nounced by tobacco people as being
fine lot, and running very even and
uniform in color. This speaks very
well for the Board Of Trades frs eff
fort.
1t would fill several pages to de-
scribe each individual exhibit and
there would be good deal of repeat
ing. We must say, however, that for
the time the Fair association had to
get up the fair and made arrange
ments, they must have worked ''ike
beavers and the whole was great
success. Much credit is due the Sec
rotary, Mr.. Thompson, for the ener-
getic way in which he has pushed
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the association and so admirably con-
Quoting the business as to have the
| fair terminate in such brilliant sue
cess.

Florida Tobacco Fair.

day and Thursday, October 9th, and
2Sth. Lake City is the home of Mr..
B. f. Noodle who is known as the
father of the tobacco growing in
Florida and it was very fitting that
the first fair should be built there.
The Fair committees, managers and
exhibitors had been very busy for days
arranging the display so that when
the appointed time came everything
was in readiness and the exhibits all
in good order. Every train to Lake
that by the time for the parade to
start the city was a throng of human,
ity, and resembled more the crowded
streets of some metropolitan city
than the avenues of a quiet inland
town.
The programme of the day COM
menced with grand parade headed
by the officers of the city and follow
ed by Gov. Bloxham and staff and
The parade ended in front of the Ex-
hibition building, where seats and
speakers stand had been erected.
Here the throng stopped to listen to
the speech making.
Mr.. Thompson the Secretary of the
association acting as master of GER
emonies introduced Mr.. Robert F.
Rodgers, mayor of Lake City, who de-
livered an address of welcome. His
welcome was hearty and earnest and
in concluding said:
The war in Cuba alone is sufficient
to enable Florida to demonstrate to
the world her ability as a tobacco
growing State, and one whose product
is of such quality that we can compete
with Cuba and Sumatra on equal
terms. We want capital, and to you,
strangers, [ say, come with us. We
will give you our hearty co-operat ton,
and wish you God-speed in all Of your
undertakings. You will find to-day
that all of Lake City's good men and
fair women tender to you the city. It
is yours; take the keys; join with us
and be merry"
The response was made by Mr.. Geo.
w. Wilson, of the Times-Union and
Citizen. After complimcnting the cit
liens of Lake City for their hospitali-
ty, and assuring them OF the pleas
ure it gave him to be at Lake City, Mr..
Wilson said:
81 came to Florida many years ago,

stages of hope, prospect, development
and disaster. have realized all fhe

lions of men are wondering to-day
where they are to get their clear Ha-
vanas, for the aroma from the weed
grown on that unhappy isle has been
a solace to millions of men. The Flor
ida farmer can answer him; he can
show that he can produce the flavor
and the texture of the Cuban leaf.
"The industry with the various sta
ges of development, is now emerging
from the uncertainty of experiment
and doubt, and is supplanting the Gu
ban production. The evidence plainly
before you happily exemplifies that
this enterprise is fraught with grea,
possibilities, enabling the farmer to
exchange experience; the profit of in
