do not respond to the touch and skill
of the husbandmen, because evidences
are numerous enough to contradict
these statements and NO where in the
state is farming carried on more pro-
fitably than in Leon, Gadsden, Jack
son, Jefferson, and Madison counties.
Living on the outskirts of Tallahas-
see is Mr.. j. ?. Roberts, one of the
most prosperous farmers in Leon
county. In all of it's appointments
his farm is a model He carries on
dairying as side issue. He has
twenty five head of fine Jersey cattle.
He raises his own feed stuff for them
and his success is one evidence that
in that section farming will pay if
carried on Systematically, Intelligent
ly and industriously. Mr.. j. P. Rob
erts, when he came home from the
army didn't own a penny. He finally
scraped enough money together tc
buy an OK and cart and hauled fish
from the gulf and retailed them on
the streets of Tallahassee. He soon
had money and credit enough to buy
small farm. Today he owns city
property, stocks and bonds, splen-
didly equipped farm and as yet is not
an old man.
Mr.. G. w. SaXton, Tallahassee, the
banker, is another example that farm
ing will pay IN this state if carried ON
intelligently. He was raised on
farm and made a success of it. He
invested his surplus money in the
mercantile business and made a sue
cess of that. lie then began a bank
ing business and is making a success
of it. But he hasn't abandoned the
farm. He has a place containing 500
acres four miles from the city. He
finds his farm more profitable than
his bank. He has grown this year,
among other crops, 10000 pounds of
tobacco. He planted, gathered,
housed and cured the crop himself,
with the assistance of his manager,
a Virginia tobacco grower, and this
crop, now ready for shipment, is pro-
bounced by experts to be as fine as
any grown and packed in Cuba, and
he is already offered 90 cents per
pound for the lot, but expects to
realize $4,000 for it. His barns are
yuilt of logs and the cracks chinked
with clay. He can admit light
through the windows, which are
closed with shuttle ). and can thus
have the room as dark or light as he
desires and by the admission or eX-
clusion of light give the tobacco any
color DESIRED After it is pole and
barn cured he puts it through a sweat
ing process and it is then cured per-
manently This he does by packing
on the floor an. covering with bag
cling and fodder. After it reaches a
certain degree of heat it is aired and
repacled and the process is kept up
until it is fully cured. 1t is then put
in hanks and tiers identically the
same as the Cuban tobacco is prepared
for market. Mr.. Saxton says he is
certain that any farmer of ordinary
intelli0ence with one seasons expert
