Leon County Cannot Afford
Not to Exhibit |
AT The STATE FAIR.
State Chemist Rose Reviews the Sit
uations Existing Heret

EDITOR TALLAHAssEEAN: In the
aTimes- Union" of August 1 list
of "Florida Agricultural Achieve
ments" was published that 9ili sur
prise a number of people sven in
our own State. This stated nent of
facts is not at all exaggerated. In
fact, athe largest herd of cat lie east
of the Mississippi, 10000 head" is
understated. One man in. South
Florida has $4,000 head and bver.
One important item omitted was
the best and most tractable kgricul-
tural labor in the world, to be had
at the least cost for similar labor.
In North and West Florid{, in the
section belt," first class agricultural
labor can be had for fifteenh dollars
per month; women and youths for
less. This fact has had mud to do
with the development of the Quincy
tobacco industry. A few ihdustrf-
GUS, active men, with some capital,
have exploited the natural rel Eources,
including the resident labkr, and
have induced an industry Iof vast

in person, and would not have to
correspond with the Treasury De
partment as at present.
This, it was thought, would be a
great advantage to property owners
throughout the State, whose land
had been sold for unpaid taxes.
Since the passage of the act re
ferred to above, the force of clerks
in the Treasury Department has
been largely increased, SO as to get
the tax sale certificates now on file
there classified and divided 50 that
they could be turned over to the VAR
iOus County Clerks on September /.
Already a number Of the County
Clerks have arrived here ready to
take over the certificates Of their re
spective counties.
The law, however, as passed by
the Legislature, is very complicated,
a great deal more 50 than the old
law, and the experts in the Treas
ury Department fear that a great
deal Of confusion will thereby be
broRght about throughout the
State, due to the attempts of the
clerks to carry out its provisions. To
prevent this, as far as possible,
Comptroller Groom has had an Eek
ample" prepared by the experts in
his department, showing how the
act is to be construed, and how the
various calculations Of the amount of
delinquent taxes due the State, to-
gether with interest on same, is to
be worked out. This Example"
has been mailed to the various cOun-
ty clerks and if carefully studied
and faithfully followed will tend to
greatly reduce the confusion that ii
is feared will be produced by in
dividual construction of the act.
Of course every day, as the clerk:
become familiar with the workings
Of the law, uncertainty will become
less and less, and will no doubt
eventually cease altogether. But fol
q time at least a great many mis-
takes will no doubt be made unless
the clerks are guided by the ex;
ample mailed to them from the
| COmptrOller's office.

Ecomplianee with this construction
| Comptroller Groom is mailing our
to the respective collectors a circular
letter in which he says
"Dear Sir-It is evident from re
ports made to this office that the law
requiring a State license tax of ''ter
dollars in each county from every
person who shall exhibit or operate
hObby-hOrse machines, merry-gO

properly construed by the Tax Col

in order that there may be no fur

fact that the "specific amount" lie
''ten dollars" must be collected il

and that no fractional license can b.
issued to persons who ''eXhibit o.

A FINE SHOWING
Florida Leads lip All These
Things.
DID YOU KNOW IT?
Read the List anG Bear the Facts
in Mind-Preach 1t.

There seems to Re9lain some doubt
in the minds of t6o3e who do not
stop to investigate as to the agri-
cultural progress florida is making,
and as to the whether the elevating
pursuit of husbanary can be made
successful in Florida.
Below will be found a compila-
tion made by Prof Fl. Stockbridge,
one of our leading agricultural ex-
perts, whose duty Is to keep track
with our progress. These facts will
astonish thousands.Of Floridians:
1. Largest apiafy in the world.
5000 colonies.
2. Largest Jersey dairy in the
world owned and managed by a
woman, 100 head.
3. Largest watermelon farmer in
the world, 1890 acres.
4. Largest tomato farm in the
world, $50 acres.
5. Largest pineapple plantation in
the world, IS acres.
6. Largest shielded pinery in the
world.
7. Largest cigar tobacco farm in
the world, 1000 acres. -.
8. Largest shaded tobacco farm in
the world, $50 acres.
9. Largest yield Of honey per col
ony for one year in the world, 1885
pounds.
10. Largest hay farm in the Gulf
States, 900 acres.
IL. Largest cassava farm in the
world, 500 acres.
II. Largest peach orchard in the
Gulf States, $4,000 trees. ~,
15. Largest fenced stock range
east Of the Mississippi RIVER 500
IA. Largest foek of sheep east &
the Mississippi river, $4,000 head.
Is. Largest velvet bean plantation
in the world, 1900 acres.
Is. Largest herd of cattle owned
by one man east of the Mississippi
river, $4,000 head
II. Largest pecan orchard east of
the Mississippi river, 10000 trees.
IS. Best wine in the world; high
est award at Paris Exposition.
10. Best cigar wrapper tobacco in
the world; highest award at Paris
Exposition. /;
20. Largest raGbitry of imported
Belgian hares in America.
2l. Largest vegetable evapvrator
in the world.

the world. !.

%. largest winter celery farm in
the world. 20 acres.
26. Largest orange grove under
one management in the world, $50
u. Largest Seeding orange grove
in the world, 40 acres.
This list might doubtless be
heightened, particularly if manufac-
turing enterprises utilizing Florida
crops and products were included.
l believe, however, in the face of
these facts, few wfll deny that Flor
ida is really a great agricultural
State, a State with a greater range
OF agricultural products than any
other IN the Union, and that it is as
high time that this great industry
was represented by great State

A Fish Story.

Very few of the followers Of
Isaac Walton, know that the
large fish take Il nap of from
one to three hours during the
warm weather, but such is the
fact. Catfish weighing from 40
to $50 pounds select a Eledge OF
rock, a water soaked log or
they get under a mill dam to
travel through dream land
during the noon hours.
Bob Anderson who lived in this
city tor a while. but was formerly
of Florida, Mo-, used to catch
the sleeping cats in Salt River
in this manner. He would 90

his fish. then come to the sur.
face and secure his bar OF iron

John Swinton in New Y DIRK Independent
For lawyers newspaper no.
toriety is a help in securing

them are to appear in a notable
trial which will be fully report

In the kitchen the place of

Il broad hearth of masonry
built against the wall. The fire
was made on top of this hearth
and fuel was stored in cavity
beneath it. Small iron tripods
or else projections of masonry,
were utilized for holding the
pots and other utensils while
the cooking was being done.
Sometimes there was 4 small
