Owing to the extreme scarcity of
labor we would advise all farmers
to arrange their tobacco rows so
every eighth row will be live feet
wide, by so doing you can use
a tobacco truck and thus house
your tobacco with much less labor
cost. There were some trucks
used certain sections last season
for tobacco, we in
every where the truck was
used there will be a great
for them this season, and orders
for several hundred trucks have
already been placed many
will doubtless come yet.
If you will lay out your rows as
stated above it will take no extra
manure and but little more laud,
and if you do not use the truck
you can tote your tobacco the
wide row much better, if you
are scarce of help you use a
truck. We are to lie head-
