such a course would often solve
the problem, but by patiently

sometimes be necessary to support
the school through binding tears

Again, the idea that teachers

silly. A teacher who mistreats a

Keeping Quality of Peaches.

Last season we published everything
which we could about the Stringfel-
lows New Horticulture, or the close
pruning sod method of planting and
growing fruit, especially peaches. At
that time We made clipping of let
ter from Mr.. Stringfellow written to
the Farm and Ranch. By some acct
dent it was mislaid and overlooked
and has not been seen again until this
week. Although little out of sea-
son, it is such a strong argument for
that mode of peach culture that we
give it, hoping that it may be the
means of interesting some of you
in testing the New Horticulture for
yourselves.
I received an inquiry few days
ago for further particulars as to pick
ing and packing peaches grown on
sod, the writer wanting to know if
the packers would not "be swamped
with over-ripe fruit" Now plainly,
he has cultivated peach trees in his
minds eye, on which as is we'll known
the fruit is rushed to maturity SO rap
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-27

idly that it is impossible to keep up
with it fast enough to prevent the
condition he alludes to. On page I26
I say: Gas sod fruit can be picked
while yet hard, if we'll colored, and
rlpen up good eating peach, the
picker should be instructed to gather
carefully all such fruit as we'll as that
full ripe" Plainly if the Instructions
are obeyed there will be no "full ripe
fruit except that left by an oversight
which cannot amount to much and
can be marketed as suggested, by ex-
press, unless too soft. What I meant
was that picking should begin before
any of the fruit got soft, just as I did
with my LeConte pears, every one of
which the pickers were instructed to
press hard with the thumb, dropping
all that yielded. With large crops
that would be the safer plan with
peaches, but as evidence of how a sod
peach will hold up when ripe I will
quote part of Mr.. Olcott's letter from
Rochester, N. Y, dated August 2, 1905.
1.-TWO of the peaches which I put
away, of those you shipped July IS,
are still holding up. While softer than
when received there is no indication
Of decay at any point and was tempt
ed last night to ship them back to
you with the basket returned" Those
two Albertas had then been Is days
off the tree Mr.. Olcott's telegram
sent on their arrival, reads thus:
Rochester, July 22. Peaches arrived
in perfect condition. Beautiful and
highly colored. Greatly admired by
a dozen persons. Those eaten were
juicy and delicious"
And yet those peaches were almost
as hard as baseball when they left
here. That they never would have
ripened up to such perfect quality in
a refrigerator car [ now feel sure, for
on June 9Th I took six Triumph
peaches from the tree, all hard and as
nearly alike as I could get them, plac-

ing three in my refrigerator and three
in small paste-board box under my
house. At the end of three days those
in the box were juicy and excellent
while the others were just as hard as
when placed in the refrigerator. |
then put them in the box and the next
day found them shriveled and soft,
but very poor in quality. The nat
ural process of ripening in peach
is continuous. Check it with a very
low temperature and the quality will
be ruined, at least in the Triumph.
Had those peaches been full ripe the
case might have been different, but to
gather a peach crop at that stage
would be impracticable. Therefore,
the wise man will grow peaches that
need no refrigeration.

SUMATRA TOBACCO
IN GADSDEN COUNTY.

this shade system which began with
a quarter acre of shade tobacco, 1894,
is told by Chas. J. Waxelbaum, a
Florida tobacco grower, when he ap-
peared before the ways and means
committee of congress to protest
against the admission of duty-free
tobacco from the Philippines when
the philippine tariff bill was under
discussion. Mr.. Waxelbaum said in
part:
Tobacco was raised in Georgia be-
fore the civil war, and after the war
was discontinued, and not until about
the year 1888 did some farmers again
attempt to raise tobacco there; but
they met with absolutely no success
on account Of 'Sumatra being able to
be imported with the then existing
dlfferentlal duty of IS to 70 cents.
Consequently this industry of raising
wrapper tobacco in Georgia and Flor
ida was only brought to life on ac-
count of the Mckinley bill raising
the duty on wrapper tobacco from a
dlfferentlal duty Of IS to IS cents to Sc
per pound.
At this time Sumatra was king of
wrapper tobacco, and on account of
the raise Of duty, of an increase of
from SIPS to $I.65 per pound more
than old duty, led us, as we'll as other
tobacco merchants, to investigate
whether this tobacco raised in Geor-
gia and Florida could be improved so
that it could compete in every respect
with Sumatra tobacco. So in the year
1901, Our firm, as we'll as others,
bought some of this tobacco raised
by the farmers in these states, but
met with little or no success, on
account Of farmer and grower in the
south not having the means to proper
ly fertlllze the ground, to put up the
proper barns and the necessary acces-
series to raise and cure tobacco.
Consequently, capital was neces-
sary, and we, as we'll as others, bought
land, etc., cleared the ground and
started to thoroughly fertilize, build
and improve the properties by build
ing adequate barns, large warehouses,
and putting up houses for labors. We
thereby raised a better article than
the farmer had done by making large
expenditures to improve the soil.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-27


Times devotes nearly two columns to
an account of what is being done in
that county by the tobacco growers
Quincy, Gadsden county, Florida,
the center and market of the tobacco
growing industry of Florida and the
richest town, per capita, in the United
States.
More than one and hahn million
dollars paid to tobacco producers
around Quincy in 1906, and more than
three million dollars to be paid to
the same people by October I, of
1907.
This in concrete form and simple
language is the situation as explained
to the man who visits Quincy or
takes drive over the red clay hills
which constitute SO large a portion of
Gadsden county's physical makeup.
The story of the tobacco industry
and the Alladdin-like fortunes which
have followed its development in
Gadsden county reads like a romance.
But first let two facts be known in
their logical order.
Fact one. Sumatra tobacco, raised
on the other side of the world, on
the island of Sumatra and imported
into this county as the king of wrap
per tobaccos for the making of cigars
pays an import tax of $I.85 per pound.
Fact two. The Gadsden county
tobacco growers are raising a product
that in every respect equals the native
Sumatra tobacco and they have no
import tax to pay-they have at the
start an advantage of $I85 per pound
over their competitors on the island
of Sumatra-and their product is
worth as much in New York City as
the latter.
This constitutes one reason for the
tremendous profits that the Florida
tobacco grower is now reaping and
for the great fortunes which the
Gadsden county people are building
up.
A Story Of Tobacco.
The story Of Florida Tobacco is
story of success success which,
though long time coming, is now
as infectious as laughter and as gen
era1 as the rain fall and the sunshine
which help to make it possible.
No one would have believed that
Sumatra tobacco product of the
tropics and supposed to be indigenous
to that cline and that soil alone
could be grown successfully in Flor
ida equal in quality. size and flavor
to the native Sumatra article But
what no one would have believed has
been absolutely demonstrated, and
Florida Sumatra tobacco now sells
for as much in the markets of the
world as the island-grown product
itself
The secret lies in the development
of the happy idea of an old tobacco
man for the growing of tobacco under
shade and that is how the Florida
Sumatra is produced. The shade
consists of two kinds-slat and gauze.
The former is made by covering the

questions here tonight because you are
the money devils and you will have to
