the hog pen tobacco grew rapidly and large, and the tobacco made in it
was of the best quality, the segar made from it having a rich Havana
flavor and in every way satisfactory. The hog pen manure is, to say
the least of it, a good manure for tobacco.
 OPINIONS.
 1st. After four years experience in growing tobacco, and afterresweat-
ing and betuning tobacco grown on different kinds of soil in various
parts of the State from Lake City to De Funiak and fertilized by differ-
ent methods, and after making segars from these several samples so
treated and testing them, I give it as an opinion that the tobacco
grown in tropical and semi-tropical regions is dependent more upon
the climate than the soil for that aroma, as well as that flavor so much
admired.
 2nd. That the Pensacola Tobacco Fair demonstrated that Florida
soil was very generally adapted to the growth of segar tobacco and that
as my observation extends as far south as Ft. Myers, that no one seo-
tion thus far has demonstrated any special advantage over another in
producing it as to quality from Pensacola to Ft. Myers.
 3d. That the main point to be learned to make Florida tobacco com-
pete successfully in the markets with Havana and make it valuable
lies in the proper sweating and betuning it when stripped from the
stalk, and putting it on the market as Florida tobacco.
