Gadsden County Proves the
Profits Escambia Ought
Now to Revel In.
Congressman Lamar is Firm
In His Faith the Crop
Would Do Well Here.
GADSOEN COUNTY PRODUCES A
BETTER GRADE OF WRAPPER
THAN ANY OTHER PART OF
AMERICA, AND THE SOIL is
VERY LIKE ESCAMBIA-S.

Congressman William b Lamar,
who yesterday was to have delivered
an address, which was postponed on
account of the small attendance, IS
an enthusiast on the subject of to-
baccO culture, and believes that the
planters of Escambia county could
reap many times the value of present
crops. He points as an illustration to
the phenomenal success of the idus-
try in and about Quincy, where land
has advanced, in value from SO 20
800 an acre, and where the Yield
of an acre is 1000 pounds. The soil
of the two sections is somewhat SIM
liar, and it is believed that once the
culture of tobacco is commenced here.
it will be only a short time before
the county Will follow in the footsteps
of Gadsden county.
What Gadsden Does.
There are about 5000 acres of
land planted in tobacco in GadSden
county" said Congressman Lanaf,
and most of it is under shade The
tobacco planted in the open sells for
from 25 to 80 cents a pound, while
that grown under the shade brings
The cost of erecting shade barns,
as they are known, and buying all ma
terial to raise shade tobacco is es-
timated at from 500 to $1,000 an
acre. a good medium yield of shatIei
tobacco is 1000 pounds to the acre,
SO one can readily see how profitable.
forty acres in shade tobacco would re.
yielding, as it will. from $1,000 to
$4,000 per annum. In 1906, from
thirty-five acres of shade tobacco in
Gadsden county. a crop was taken
that sold for $4,000
Prosperous Farmers.
AS an illustration of the prosper
ity of a tobacco growing county"
continued General Lamar, 1t is only
necessary to state that the Quincy
State Bank carries from 5000. 900 to
81 900 900 deposits. and the Quincy
National Bank carries from 100000
to 100000 Everyone has bank ac-
count. and the farmers are amongst
the most liberal depositOrs. During
the past ten years. land has advanced
in value from Sc to $50 and 500 per
acre
The Gadsden county tobacco. now
known as Florida tobacco is wrapper
tobacco. and the agricultural depart
ment at Washington prOnounces it "a
be the finest wrapper leaf grown In
the United States.
Il hope to see this tobacco indus
try develop and prosper in EscanI-
bia county as it has in Ga1sdep coun-
"" concluded Congressman Lamar.
MI Lamar is to remain in the city
for several days Monday he viii

Causes a Delay.

Surveyor Forrest l.. Smith is maxi

Works, of Roosevelt, to show the To-
cation of the pier head lines. 1t is
the intention of the company to build
a large. dock soon and large dredge
is now at work. A difficulty, however,
has arisen as to the location of tie
pier head lines and Surveyor Smith
was asked to settle the trouble. Mr..
Smith has conferred with Chief En-
gineer John C. Payne, of the Ripari-
an commission and has learned
through letters from the War Depart
ment that the present maps show a
difference in the location of the pier
head lines Mr.. Smith and assistants
have already made preliminary sur
veys and expect to complete the work
next week. The work, Surveyor Smith
says, is difficult and the preliminary
survey has to be made from the op-
posite side of the sound.
If the present pier head is not
changed, dock only 100 feet will be
built at the factory and on this ac-
count considerable dredging will be
necessary. The government engi-
neers were at work in the vicinity OF
the plant last week but as yet Mr..
Smith has received no report as to
their decisions.
