Maurice Bamberger and ]. Soud-

Is pounds of their celebrated Comstock

numerous orders are yet being received

One of the largest shipments of sam
pies ever sent out of the state by single
packer at one time were forwarded to
New York last week. The lot consisted
of 20 cases filled entirely with samples of
the 98 packing.
Mr.. E. Haslxins who has been in the
state since the early winter superintend-
ing the packing for Julius Marquisee at
GAINESVILLE, left for his home at Syracuse,
n. Y, this week. About 5000 cases of

island. The seed was sent by Mr.. Brill

Quite number of tobacco men visited
the Suffer tobacco warehouse at Madi-
son Friday to see the Dahl sizing ma
chine operate. This device consists of a
series of parallel belts of different lengths
running over rollers. The tobacco is fed
into the machine cross ways and is car
ried along until it is released by the belt
when they drop into receptical below.
The shorter belts first release the short
leaves while the longer are held by the
tips and carried on by the longer belts.
The machine makes five grades or sizes
and will certainly do what is claimed for
it in separating the different lengths.
The device is somewhat crude as yet but
the opinion of the tobacco men is that
something practical will come out of the
invention.

TOBACCO GRowERs:-Do not increase
acreage, but by all means better your
quality. The straight road to this is by
using bone superphosphate. | will not
keep it on hand but will take orders for
such as will heed the warning of over
production without abundant manure.
400 pounds per acre at cost of 1928 per
acre insures the result of finished goods
and week or ten days earlier product.
Enquiry of the subscriber at GAINESVILLE
