Possibilities in the successful and profitable
growing OF tobacco in Leon County have been left
to Messrs. Hirschberg & Rosenberg for demon
stration.
This Arm. while In operation at Tallahassee for
over decade, did not take up the growing Of
tobacco In Leon County until the year 1890. whel
the first crop was planted II was on a compare
lively extensive scale for that time-15 acres be-
ing set out-with results so eminently pleasing
satisfactory and remunerative as to cause the firm
20 increase Its acreage from year to year, and 1t
present the plans of the Arm are for the develop
ment Of their plantation on the most extensive
scale and broadened scope which It has ever un-
dertaken.
That the soil of Leon County Is well adapted to
tobacco growing, and especially so in certain
well favored sections, was for years well known
fact though no attention was given to Its deve
opment. This was evidenced by number OF
farmers and planters devoting small acreage to
tobacco, as also by the small patches Of tobacco
which were to be seen cultivated In an unpreten
tious manner. around negro cabins
None Of these, however, raised shade grown to-
bacco, their crops being limited entirely to sun
grown tobacco, which is now superseded in acre
age by the shade grown
The original Hirschberg & Rosenberg planta
ton, still In operation, located IL miles from
Tallahassee, consisted Of 10 acres, this plantation
being miles beyond the new H. & r. plantation
at Lake Jackson.
AT the latter this Arm began operations in 1903
the first crop coming In In 1904, there being at
present 30 acres, all shade grown tobacco, under
cultivation. Mr., Hirschberg makes frequent trips
to the Lake jackson plantation looking after the
work Of preparation incident to an increased acre
age. some % acres or more, which the Arm has
under way.
This will call for the cultivation of over rs acres
OF shade grown tobacco, and to meet the output i
series OF mammoth structures will be erected, in
Guiding a number Of packing houses and curiny
harms giving employment to large force of
hands required In their construction. AT tho
Lake Jackson plantation on the Georgia. Florid,
and Alabama Railway line. there has resulted as
q consequence more than settlement. Splendid
dwellings have been put up; commissary has
been built, and there are also p0stofice and an
express Office Tho home OF the superintendent Ia
a commodious and handsome structure comparing
most favorably with the modern city residence.
In fact everything at the Lake jackson planta-
tion Is modern and Of the very best. making tho
place most attractive. The plantation will ulti-
mately have an immense acreage, as the firm not
only owns $500 acres, extending westward from
Lake Jackson to the Ocklocknee River, but In.
tends each succeeding year to enlarge It's acreage
of shade grown tobacco at an increasing rate

whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald If he will use Newbro's Herpi-

off at the root; and cleans the scalp of
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the

tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi-
