Middle Florida Tobacco.

Middle Florida Tobacco.
The tobacco interest seems to be
booming in many sections of Florida,
and something about the prospects of
the weed in Florida may not be amiss.
L. I'll. Shelter, who is experimenting
twenty-five-acre crop for the Ell Pro-
vedo Cigar Company, near Lake jack
son, was interviewed on the subject.
He said that poor crops were almost
universally reported up to the last
week of June, but the frequent show
ers since then have worked a wonder
full and most gratifying change, and
now the reports come from all quar-
tiers that the tobacco crops are good,
and what may be lacking in quantity
will be made up in quality.
There was a distressing drouth,
lasting nearly two months, covering
the entire season for putting out their
plants and watering them until they
got started to growing. The crop is
late in this section, on account of the
drouth, and many planters with large
crops are not yet through cutting the
weed.
Mr.. Shelter estimates his Leon cOun-
ty crop at $4,000 to $4,000 pounds,
chiefly wrappers, from pure Havana
seed.
There are a number of good crops
in the Bradfordville section of this
county. Among these is the nine
acre crop of Col. John Bradford,
which Mr.. Shelter says is the finest he
ever looked upon, and is even in size
and quality throughout. He thinks
that the nine acres will yield 5000
pounds of choice tobacco.
Mr.. Shelter has recently made
tour of Leon and Gadsden counties for
the purpose of inspecting and esti-
mating on the probable yield of to-
baccO, and he feels very much encour-
aged at the prospect. He reports good
crops throughout Gadsden and Leon
counties, and he says that he did not
see an inferior crop anywhere. The
quality of the product is so superior
that the growers feel greatly encour-
aged, are more interested than ever
in the industry, and have learned to
handle their tobacco properly. Mr..
Shelter predicts prosperous future

The man who stands idly by and
sees the life fading out of his wife's
face, sees her health going, sees her
becoming old and faded and wrinkled
when she should still be in the perfect
enjoyment of vigorous, useful health,
is either less than man or else does
not know of the remedy which will
bring her back to health and strength.
Perhaps her husband cannot persuade
her to go to her doctor, because she
naturally breads the inevitable Eek
aminatio and ''local treatments"
He can persuade her, if she needs per-
suasion, to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This truly wonderful
medicine has cured hundreds of wom-
en- after the best physicions have fail
ed. It has been in constant use and
tested every day for thirty years. It
isn't an experiment, there are no
chances about it. 1t is a certain cure
for all arrangements, weaknesses, ir-

Florida Tobacco on It's Own Merits.

Florida Tobacco on It's Own Merits
Why not get what belongs to us:
Why take second place for fine to-
bacco? Why continue the reputa-
ton of Cuban cigar leaf by allowing
all our own best product to enter the
market as Cuba-grown tobacco, and
only the poorest quality to be sold as
Florida tobacco? Shall we ever gain
for our tobacco the reputation it de-
serves by this means? We think
not, and we think it a ruinous pol
icy, and now while it is possible for
us we should sell our own tobacco on
it's own merits as genuine Florida.
1t is now coming to pe understood
that the Cuban tobacco grown out
side of the Vuelta Abajo district has
no superiority whatever over our
best Florida tobacco, and that France
takes the entire product of the Vuelta
district, none coming to the United
States at all, and that it is only a
''fad'' that keeps up the reputation of
Cuban tobacco over our own.
What we want to do is to turn our
tobacco loose upon it's own merits.
To grow and manipulate our tobacco
so perfectly that it shall be abso-
lutely without rival, in any land or
any country. California did it in
her dried and canned fruits. We did
it in our oranges, and can do it also
in our tobacco if we go about it in
the right way. American skill, sci
ence and push can accomplish this
project, as it has triumphed a thou
sand times before. But we want to
acknowledge no second place. In
pushing our product on the markets
of this and other countries, we
should not use the expressions,
NEARLY equal to Havana" or 'just as
good as Havana;" but superior to
all' should be the guaranteed stamp
on every box of first-class cigars, and
then guard our tobacco's honor by
maintaining it's quality.
But how can we do this? How can
we overcome the prejudice against
Florida grown tobacco? Simply by
elevating the grade of our goods, and
maintaining the price by concert of
action, combination of growers, and
good judgment and business push i'm
getting it started. Arrangements
could probably be made with some
large and reputable cigar manufac-
turers in some of the eastern cities
to handle our tobacco and push it as
genuine Florida tobacco. Samples
should be exhibited at every State
fair and every exposition, and it's vir-
tues exploited in every newspaper and
in few years we could secure for it
reputa ton second to none in the
world. The war may soon end in
Cuba, and before that time our own
product should come to the front
and Florida should get the honored
credit that her tobacco merits.-Pa-
latka Advertiser.

The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is III the blood, and only n
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon Ii. Tho doctors being
unable, with their stcrcutypcd remc-
dies of potash and mercury, TO cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the syiup-
