Remarkable Success in the Culture
of Tobacco.

of Tobacco.
Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 15.-The board
charged with contracting for the juvenile
reformatory building near Mariana has
entered into an agreement, under a new
bond, with the S. S. Leonard Company
of Jacksonville for the completion of the
buildings by March is. A contract was
made with this company last April, but
the war brought unexpected troubles upon
it and caused much delay in their opera
tons.
Robert ]. Bannerman has clearly dem
onstrated that he is a progressive farm
er. A few years ago he eft Leon coun-
.tv to take charge of a tobacco farm for
a Quincy cigar company. The company
erected barns for a 120-acre crop and di-
rected Mr.. Bannerman to proceed on that
line. He has annually reduced the acreage
of his tobacco crop, and correspondingly
the cost of cultivation, but each year he
has filed the barns, and with a better
grade of tobacco. This year he will plant
only forty acres and expects to fill every
barn on the place.
