Nothing has ever been uttered with a

Brunswick has three companies of
volunteer soldiers, with as fine per.

Nothing is more conducive to an ef-
ficlent militia than regular and sys-
tematic target practice.
Why cannot the three companies
here get together and build a target
rsnge within a convenient distance of
the city? The state has appropriated
$75 for the purpose of purchasing land
for range In Brunswick. If some
public-spirited citizen will sell or do
nate some land it can he done. 1t is
said that the county cOnvicts can be

The military of the city should get
to work on this plan and the citizens

who contemplate growing are afraid
of this part of the undertaking. Let
me assure my readers that this is the
easiest part of the whole business.
The dealers as a rule prefer the to-
bacco from the barn, after being cut
and dried, they then complete the
curing by a process they call sweat
ing. This enables them to have the
leaves either light or dark according
to the wishes of their customers. A
light sandy loan is the best land for
light colored tobacco, and this kind
commands the highest prices. But [
would here emphasize the suggestion
Of DR.. Clute, that, where farmers COLI
template planting they should organ
ize themselves into an association and
erect at some central spot packing
and curing warehouse where some
man can be employed who thorough
ly understands the business, and the
cost on individual growers will be
small, and will be more than repaid
by the higher prices obtained for
the tobacco. 1t is this last process
that gives to the tobacco that coveted
aroma, and adds to it combustibility.
[ will in your next issue, go into this
part of the discussion little deeper,
and will say in conclusion, if you pro-
pose growing tobacco, plant only the
best. [ will take pleasure in answer
ing any inquiries and securing seed
for any one who contemplates soing
into the business.-Thomas j. Laud

Points on Tobacco.

Can we raise cigar leaf tobacco in
Florida? Can it be grown at a profit?
were questions propounded at the
Ocala convention. And the answer in
both cases was in the affirmative.
The Ocala convention was COM
posed of representative growers from
Ill parts of the United States. The
growers from Florida being a large
majority. In addition to growers the
agricultural department at Washing
ton had sent Prof. Milton Whitney,
the governors of Connecticut and AL
ALBANIA had appointed DR.. Jenkins and
L. F. Culver, whilst the government
stations from. all over the country
were represented each by one of their
professors.
The objects ofthe convention were:
To discuss Florida grown tobacco,
the best means of growing, and to
form an association for the protec-
ton of growers.
The space allowed will not permit
me to write at length on every matter
before the convention, so I shall en-
deavor briefly to lay before the read
'es of The Spring Il short and concise
statement of some of the principal
discussions.
The first paper read was by DIR.
Cute, director of our experiment sta
ton at Lake City, and well known in
Green Cove Springs. In this paper
DR.. Clute stated he had visited, every
county in the state and found tobac-
co the equal if not the superior of the
Sumatra or Cuba. He stated, how
ever, the great difficulty was in cur
ing. This could be overcome by grow

an acre he is doing exceedingly well
and greatly pleased. Whereas thu
profits per acre on tobacco rang
from $50 to $500, and the demand I'm

wish to impress on my readers. Ii
the past whatever Florida has under
taken to grow she has glutted thu
market and reduced prices to a very
low ebb. But in tobacco it is differ
ent The demand cannot be supplied
even if every acre in Florida is plant
ed. This then should encourage
growers.
About two year ago DR.. Abalo, Wis
tied Fort Meade and there saw what
he classed as ideal tobacco lands He
told the citizens if they would give
him 1000 acres of land he would in
augurate a colony of his fellow Gu

pert buyers declare it to be of unl.i
vailed quality.
Mr.. j. Collins, of Dade City, last
February resolved to experiment with
a small crop. He planted seven
eighths of an acre on which he raised
$50 pounds This he sold to a Tampa
firm for 80 cents a pound all through
or total of $515.6O. His total ex-
penses amounted to $97.30, leaving
the handsome profit of $42s.3O. or
seven-eighths of an acre. I may say
here this tobacco when sold was only
barn cured, and after it had beer
through the sweating process was
sold in the city of Tampa for $1,000
This was Mr.. Collins first crop and il
is needless to say he will plant very
extensively this year.
At Barlow one planter sold 2,40t
pounds raised on three acres for $72O
This being $24O an acre or 5000 ne1
profit.
[ could continue calling witnesses
in support of my connection, that to
bacco of all crops is the most profit
able the farmers can grow. But, le1
us look at it from another standpoint
1t is conceded by everyone that SO(
pounds to the acre is an average crop
and that $40 per acre is the average
cost for fertilizer, cultivation an(
barn curing. Suppose the 500 pounds
sold for 20 cents pound, a very low
price, it would bring the grower $16'
or net profit of $3.50 an acre. LIE
us go a little further-suppose III
only realizes 10 cents pound which
is ridiculously low price and he will
make $50 an acre or net profit o
$40. Add to this the fact that thu
same land will produce two CT ops ;
year, and you will find $50 an acre
clean profit on every acre you have
and this is a cash crop. If a man ha
twenty acres he will make, clear o
all expenses $1,000 year, or $32
