ida which we reproduce below, and
1t will prove interesting to our read
ers. The paper is a trade journal
published in New York city and has
a vide circulation among dealers and
growers of tobacco. We imagine
that this is kind Of missionary
work upon the part OF our congress-
man which is going to be Of material
benefit to Florida generally and the
Third District particularly.
The letter is as follows:

GO. Wrapper leaf tobacco has been
successfully raised, under shade, in
Escambia County, this year. Next

ed TO wrapper leaf tobacco also.
Tobacco has been in past years sue
cessfully raised in these counties.
In these counties Of Holmes, Wash
ington, jackson, Calhoun and Liber-
ty, shade wrapper leaf tobacco has,

Leon County is the seat Of the
State government, Tallahassee being
the State capital.
Last year there we're about 60 to
80 acres planted in Leon county in
shade tobacco. This year the area
is nearly three hundred acres. Next
year will see about 500 to 1000
acres planted in wrapper leaf tobac-
co in Leon county.
Two fine packing houses were
erected in Tallahassee this summer
to handle the 1907 crop. A soil
survey map has been made Of the
county, showing land highly suita-
BILE to shade tobacco.
In each Of these counties of JEFF
ferson (mY home) aud Madison, ten
acres OF shade tobacco have been
raised this yeat. Fifty thousand
dollars have been subscribed in Mad
ison county for packing house and
tobacco raising. Next year the area
will be largely increased in these

east Of Leon County. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars have Just been sub
scribed in jefferson county to erect
a packing house in Monticello, and
to plant shade tobacco.
All Of your readers are familiar
