Quoted and with the very latest i'm
provements. If it fails to bring Flor
ida prominently to the front as a
tobacco growing country then l shall
be very much mistaken.
Nearly all the help on these fields
are direct from Cuba, having been
brought over by the company. Every

bacco plantations and is familiar
with the business. They certainly

as previously stated. to make a thor
ough inspection of the crop. If the
examination proves satisfactory the
sale will be clinched by the transfer
of the cash and the tobacco.
There are 800 bales of this tobacco,
each bale weighing lis pounds; this
would bring the total weight easily
up to 10000 pounds and the cash
transaction would therefore be $780,
900.
This company held on to their to-
bacco and were determined to get
what they thought to be fair price.
The growers throughout the state
have as rule obtained only from
thirty to sixty cents per pound for
their product. This colony is COM
posed of Cubans, who employ the Gu
ban methods on the cultivation and
curing. They are now planting 1870
acres in the weed for their spring
crop.

Good Advice to Tobacco Men.

Mr.. E. A. Vogt, who is an expert
enced tobacco grower at Quincy, gives
the following advice through the col
umns of the New Era.
my advice to farmers is to raise
all the tobacco they can raise well,
and no more. Don't raise a large
crop of trash! You will injure your
self, the man who buys it, and the
interest in general. This is crit
ical year for the industry. Between
Weyler and Gomez no Havana to-
bacco will come here Manufacturers
will naturally look for the best sub
stitute. Now is the time to put your
best foot forward, for you will cross
the threshold of many a door that
hitherto has been barred against you.
Then, once having gained footing,
it remains for the product Of the
farmers of this county to perpetuate
itself by it's superior quality Wey-
Ter will not last forever. Some day,
whether near or far, Havana tobacco
will again food the country; then the
smokers of the country, having con-
sumed two or three good crops of
Florida Havana, will stick to their
new love, and our industry will en-
dure In other words, the smokers
will have to smoke Florida tobacco at
the beginning, not because they want
to, but because they cannot get Ha-
vana to smoke. If we furnish them
tobacco like most of the crops we
have been growing, he will finally rec
ognize the merits of our product and
will stick to it. I repeat, therefore,
that quality is the first goal. We are
not working for this year nor for
next year, but for all years. Let us
do all we can to build this industry
on an enduring foundation"

with the intention of buying every
pound of leaf in their warehouses.
A. M. Dominguez, leaf dealer of
this city, secured some of the samples
of the crop and submitted them to
prominent manufacturers, with the
result that he has had many inquiries
in regard to the amount of leaf in the
crop, accompanied by several bids on
the crop in grades.
One manufacturer offered $3.50 a
pound fat, taking the whole crop at
that price, without regard to grade.
