Now is the time to cultivate. the
tobacco crop 80 as to prevent too early
buttoning.. Keep the ground loose
and mellow around the young plants
and it will keep them growing, while
stalks to. become callous and hard,
which will produce an unhealthy growth
and cause too early buttoning and a
weaking plant.
~The summer is now advaneing and it
is beginning to be time for some new
prize houses to be started, We havTent
near enough and there is going to be a
stronger demand for them this year
than there has been in any previous
one. There will be more bayers and
they will want somewhere: to store
their tobacco. We need more prize

SHIRT WAISTS.
What is it that I hear each day,
As near the Buford House I stray ?
What is it makeg my hair turn gray ?
"Tis shirt waists.
When to my room I now repair,
To try and find some comfort there,
What is the first sound that I hear ?
- *Tis shirt waists.
And when I venture just a word,
And think perhaps I shall be heard,
I find all other talk deferred
: For shirt waists.
When from my slumber I arise,
As rosy dawn lights up the skies,
What sight is it that greetsmy eyes ?
Tis shirt waists.
And when I lay me down at night.
In sleep to shut all things from sight,
A vision comes, in colors bright,
Of shirt waists,
When to my meals I go with glee,
Thinking that there I shall be tree,
Great heavens ! on every hand I gee
Those shirt waists.
. | WheneTer I pass the ladies now,
And doff my hat and smile and bow,
They do not say a thing, I vow,
~~ But shirt waists.
What is it makes me swear and rave,
And wish that I was in my grave,
And for oblivion, to crave?
' oLis shirt waists,
What is it that has brought this blight}
On me, who once was gay and bright?
What keeps me always in a fright?
Tis shirt waists,
What was it made me feel so bad?
What tock the cash that once I had?
"Twas nothing but this crazy fad
Of shirt waists.
No more I walk the streets at will,
But slink around with foxy skill
To dodge the chap who totes the bill
For shirt waists.
And when, at last my life is oTer,
T ask for this, and nothing more,
To reach some fair and happy shore
Where thereTs no shirt waists.
