Thursday Three ways are used by farmers for curing and preparing their to- for the market; namely sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and proved way is called flue cured. In flue curing the tobacco is taken from the fields and racked in barns especially built to retain heat and there subjected to a continuous high temperature, produced by the direct heat of flame heated flues, which brings out in the tobacco that stimulating taste and aroma that- expert roasting develops in green coffee. These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheer- and stimulating quality that pop- their use. The of tobacco depends much on the curing process and the kind of soil that produces it, as ex- pert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Pied- region, requires and takes less sweetening than tobacco grown in any section of the United States and has a wholesome, stimulating, juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies tobacco hunger. That's why chewers prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps cheers more than any other chewing tobacco, and that's why chewers of Schnapps pass the good thing along one chewer makes other chewers, until the fact is established that there are more chewers and more pounds of tobacco chewed to the population in states where Schnapps tobacco is sold than there are in those states where Schnapps not yet been offered to the trade.
