Plants set out Sept. Is should be
ready to strip, or cut, by Nov. list and
this will be in time to escape any

Your success will depend very much
on the condition of your ground when
you set your plants. IF your ground
has been previously well fertilized
and in thorough condition, when you
set your plants they will have some
thing to feed on from the start, and
grow off nicely and keep it up-fne
silken texture depends largely on
quick growth kept up from start to
finish. Plants stunted in seed bed
rarely do well when transplanted,
however favorable the conditions may
be afterwards and good plants from
seed bed, may be Stunted AFTER SeCtlng
out, by the ground being too poor or
from dry weather or neglect, and a
first-class crop cannot be expected.
To wait until after you have set out
your plants, to fertilize your ground
is only to invite failure. A fertile
soil absorbs and retains moisture bet
ter than a sterile or poor soil-there-

Seasonable Hints.

Those intending to plant fall crop
of tobacco should be prepared with
good supply of strong vigorous plants,
and his ground well enriched, cleared
of roots, rubbish and stumps, thor
oughly worked pulverized, laid out in
straight rows three to three and one
half feet apart, SO that when the mid
die of September comes he may be
able to set his pants, if seasonable,
and have reasonable assurance of
fall crop. If the weather be cool and
moist, or rainy, and everything ready
before the middle of September do not
wait but make your planting at once.

known that many good crops have
been sold here at prices that would
be scoffed at by the Mexican growers
First grade and properly cured Fl)r'
ida tobacco, Mr.. Photo contends
should command not only higher
price than the best Mexican article
but as much as the best that comes
from Cuba. 1t has been demons trait
ed by the Fort Meade company's ex-
perience that South Florida has no SUI
perior on earth in the matter of pro
ducing fine cigar tobacco, and there
is consequently no tenable reason
why our growers should not realize
as much for their product as is paid
for that of any other country. A de-
terlnined effort should be made by all
the growers to resist the policy of
buyers and manufacturers which is
evidently to keep down the price Of
the splendid Florida product, so that
their profits will be greater, regard
less of the results to the growers.
Many small farmers have made good
crops and being pressed for money
have sold their tobacco at ridiculously
low figures. By this means some few
of the farmers have Lost money on
their first crops and will not plant
again, and their experience will de-
ter others who contemplate engaging
in the business. AS matter of course
these sales at small prices effect the
whole market seriously, and the larg-
err and more experienced growers are
constantly confronted with quota tions
at which the small crops have been
purchased, to their disgust and an
noyance.
Mr.. Photo before coming to Flor
ida was the owner of one of the larg-
est and most valuable tobacco planta>
tons on the island of Cuba and has
been engaged in the business since
HIS UOyuOOu. Lie pIOduCC VI Ills W.
ban plantat ton always commanded the
very top prices and he is consequent
ly entitled to speak with authority
as to quality and value of cigar to-
hacco.
The gentleman stated in conclusion
that the product of the South Flor
ida farms is being treated unjustly
in that is it being placed on the mar
ket by some manufacturers as either
Cuban or Mexican. Mr.. Photo sug-
gested that if this unfairness and evil
could not be checked by any other
means, then the leading growers
should organize a stock company, es>
tablsh big cigar factory, and make
up a large portion of their crop and
put it on the market to sell on it's
merits. He is confident that would
soon win a name and create a demand
and in that way the growers would be
materially nefted.-Courier-In

Florida's Tobacco Fair.

L 4OUdCCO Z d1A
The tobacco fair which the State of
Florida is to hold at Lake City on the
9th and 2Sth of October next, will
mark a new and important era in the
history of the United States.
One of the results of the war in
Cuba having been to cut off the tobac-
co supply from that island has forced
attention to the capability of Florida
to fill the field heretofore held by the
Great Antille. Even though it has
been matter of ascertained fact that
Florida and portion of Georgia could
produce a tobacco of as fine a flavor
as that which comes from the Vuelta
Abaio. vet we lack the skilled work
manship which was necessary not
only for the planting, but for the har-
vesting and curing of the product.
desert out of Cuba by desolating her
fields as well as by exiting her sons,
has been to the advantage of Florida,
whose soil, in the hands of the Cuba
immigrants, is fast building up
trade which will mean millions to the
treasury of the United States. When
one recollects that but three years ago
the only tobacco grown in Florida
was few stray patches for home con-
sumption, and that within that time
an export trade of one million pounds
has been built up, it will be seen how
rapid has been the progress and how
successfully the soil of Florida has
answered the call of the cultivator.
1t is matter of history that this
immense trade which has enriched
Cubans at one time really belonged
to a favored section in Decatur coun-
ty, Georgia, and running southwark
into Florida. This tobacco, in the
days before the war, was called for
in all the capitals of Europe by con-
noisseurs who sought the best there
was to be had. When in the days fol-
loving '61, the great blockade cut off
this section from it's market, the
trade dwindled away, and the Havana
cigar made it's way into that public
favor which it has sustained ever
since. It seems now that the fortune
of war, which deprived the gulf coast
of Florida of this immense trade, will
be the means by which a generation
later it will be restored to her.
The exhibition at Lake City, there
fore, cannot fail to be one of deep in
terest, involving as it does, the sue
cessful growth of one of the prime ar
ticles of commerce, and pointing to
such heavy trade which will assist
in turning the balance in our favor.
1t will emphasize the fact that the
South is the seat of the great money
crops of the world, of cotton and corn
and tobacco, and that it must, there
fore become great in proportion in it's
influence upon the nation.--Atlanta

yesterday to the members Of the Committee

"Rumors have como to me from various

complaints unless 1t suited their ideas to do so.
The rumor has taken various forms: One. that
members OF the committee will forward the
claims only OF mon whom they like; others, that
claims are forwarded or W thheld according to
the members idea as to what may be the wishes
of some official of the department.
IL hope. and l believe. that these rumors are
without foundation. AT the same time, lest any
member Of the Of Forty-one should.
at any time, so far forget his duty to those
whom he represents as to refrain for any reason
from presenting to the full committee a COM
plant made by any workman, l venture to in
wade the independence Of the committee so far
as to make a distinct order that every repre-
