TOBACCO A "BRAINY" CROP.

Professor Chapman of Lake City,
Florida, said, ten years ago, that there
was more money for brainy man in
raising good tobacco than in any other
crop. He said this because it respond
ed in its profits the most literally to
intelligent cultivation. The price of the
article varied from five cents to a dol
lar a pound, according to the quantity
of brain put into it.
The problem in Florida has been to
raise the delicate Sumatra leaf. which
has high market value, and in some
cases has returned $1,000 per acre

the home club making most, but the boys
all worked hard, and while exceedingly
earnest, there were no serious squabbles,
there being but two occasions when the
rules were conned with anxiety and decis-
ions verified and modified. Van Powell

as umpires with fair satisfaction and had
no differences resulting in black eyes for
either. Good nature marked the whole
game, and the large crowd that witnessed
it was greatly pleased and cheered heartily
