TOPPING TOBACCO.
How it Should be Topped for Priming
and When the Stalk is Cut.
ee natin
BY 0. L. JOYNER.
_ There will be a good many farmers
this year who in all probability will
prime their tobacco off the stalk to cure
|it, and we have been asked by some
who will prime how the tobacco should
be topped. Not having had much ex-
perience in priming tobacco ve are not
mJ | prepared to give a safe opinion about
the matter, but for the benefit of our
readers who want this intormation we
have inquired of a number of our most
successful farmers who cure their crop
by priming and nearly every man says
he tops for priming just as he would if
he were to cut the stalk, the reason
being that if the stalk is topped much
higher the top leaves never develop
and consequently when cured they are
green tips and ~amount to nothing,
while if the stalk is topped sufficiently
low to develop the top leaves, instead
of getting green strips they will remain
on the stalk and develop into ripe
leaves, and when cured you get almost
as good color as any the rest of the
leaves on the stalk.
One very good authority states that
on his land which isa dark gray loam,
and which will produce 350 to 400
pounds or lint cotton to the acre, he
generally tries to get from 12 to 16
leaves to the stalk in accordance with
the thrift and healthfulness of the plant.
We understand that some are advising
not to, top at all, and there will be no
necessity of suckering the tobaoco and
that the stalk will produce from 20 to
30 good leaves of tobacco. We have
never seen a crop managed after this
manner, but a year ago we were told
that Mr. R. G. Chapman, one of the
most successful farmers that we have,
did not top his tobacco at all and while
we never had any faith whatever in this
plan we were disposed to pay some at-
tention to itas Mr. Chapman, we know,
made good tobacco.. On last Monday
he was in townT and we. immediately
went and asked him ifit was true that
he did not top his tobaceo oWhy,� said
he, onu, who told you that I did not ?�
He said he topped just precisely as if
he was going to cut the stalk, and then
if seasons were favorable and he saw
proper, he cut and cured the stalk.
~From a common sense point of view
we think this decidedly the best plaa
for them. It you want to cure the
crop by cutting the stalk, there will be
no trouble while if the stalk is not
topped you cannot do it. In topping
the crop great care should be : observed
and no~definite rules can be laid down
by which to be governed. Each
plant must be topped according to
the number of leaves that it will bear,
4 and it the crop is intended td be primed
from the beginning under no circum-
stances do we think that it would be
well to top more than 2 to 4 leaves
{higher than where it is expected to be
cut.
The idea ot not topping the; plant at
all seems ridiculous tous in the extreme
if ~suckers are
allowed to remain on the stalk the to
bacco.will surely be thin and chaffy.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Crop Bulletin issued by the
North Carolina Climate and Crop Ser-
vice, for the week ending Saturday,
May 30th, 1896, are on the whole ta-
vorable, and indicate, except where
drought still prevails, a rapid growth of
crops. The temperature was above the
normal every day except the 24th,
though Friday and Saturday were also
agreeably cool. The rain-tall was un-
évenly distributed, the north-east por-
tion of the State receiving too much,
the west :oo little. There was gener-
corn especially are in splendid condi-
tion ; tobacco is doing fairly well. The
wheat harvest has just commenced:
Farmers are beginning to iay by corn
in the south portion of the State.
Eastern Distriot."Some rain oc-
curred this week in the southern por-
tion and along the coast of this dis-
trict, where drought continued to pre-
vail last week, which did much good,
but was hardly sufficient. In the ex-
treme north portion too much rain has
fallen at some places, injuring cotton
and lowland corn, and enabling grass to
make headway. Elsewhere the condi-
tions have been very favorable and
crops have grown rapidly. Both corn
and cotton are splendid; corn is quite
large for the time of the year and some
in silk and tassel. Insects are doing
some damage to tobacco. (Cutting
wheat has just begun in south. Field
peas and sorghum being planted.
Peanuts are up, with not generally a
good stand. Irish potatoes continue to
be shipped.
CENTRAL DISTRICT.
In general the past week has been
very favorable. The weather was
warm, except Friday and Saturday,
which were agreeably cool, with plenty
of sunshine to make crops grow well.
Rain enough has fallen at most places,
and where least las been sufficient for
few reports of heavy rains washing
lands. Cutting wheat has just begun
on a limited scale ; chinch bugs numer-
ous at some places. Some correspon-
dents report that cats are coming out
considerably since the rains. There is
still some tobacco to bo transplanted ;
the erop looks exceeding well. Cotton

stand and vigorous ; chopping co ntinues
in north portion. Corn is qnite large
for the season, and commencing to be
laid by in the south. Blackberries be-
ginning to get ripe in the south portion
ot the district. Growth of grass in
crops require active attention of farmers.
Married.
At 4:30 oTclock this afternoon at
Chocowinity church, Mr. W. B. Ricks,
of Greenville and Miss Bessie Wilson,
daughter of Mr. R. T. Wilson, of
Grimesland, were married by Rev. N.
Collin Hughes. They were attended
by Mr. J A. Ricks, brother of the
groom, and Miss Ella Frizzle.
The bride and groom will reach
Greenville this evening and will hold a
a public reception at the residence of
Mr. Ricks, in Forbestown, from 9:30 to
1 12 oTclock.

~A ready made coffin isa thing)

not ~so very old either. oI was
brought up in a small village in Ver.
mont, where a broadcloth coffin with
silver trimmings would have creat
ed as much wonder and speculation

strayed into the neighborhood, it
would doubtless have been placed
upright in some oneTs best room ard
been used as a cabinet for choice
bits of china, its funereal purpose
remaining undreamed of, |

ed. There wasalways rivalry among
the neighbors as to who had the fin.
est coffin boards in his loft. They
would no more think of using the
coffin boards for any. other purpose
than they would of wearing the
clothes which had been-put away in
the cedar chest for them te be laid
out in.
oOwing to the uncertainty as to
for, nothing more could. be done to-
ward making the coffins than to
have the boards ready. Men were
too thifty in those days to run any
|risk of making up a coffin and then
naving it a misfit, and it was gener-
ally conceded that a manTs last.cens

be left until all was over. When my

and my.elder brothers staid up all
night making his coffin,
oWho did the laying out? Oh,
or, seamstress-~and was always on
hand. She took.right old and did

adviceT about the latest style in
mourning, saw the callers if she was
allowed to. Generally the family
took a mournful, pleasure in per-
