When a bad . ap-" pears in the top of the plant that indicates that the plant 1s getting ready to sesd. aad at this stage the plant should be topped. This is usually done by going through the field and piuching off the toy of the plant. Lhe number of leaves which should be allowed to mature on each stalk depends very much on the quality of the iand and the amount of fertilizer used. If the land is quite strong or the fervilizing heavy, the plant may ve topped at from fourteen to sixteen or even eigh- teen leaves. Ifthe land is pour and the fertilizing light. let the topping range from ten tw four- teen leaves. The haud who does the topaing has to judge of each plant how many leaves should be allowed torcemain on the stalk and ripen. A little pra3tice, how- ever, soon makes this aa easy part of the work. The sockers that appear soon after the tobacco is topped should not be allowed to get lon- ger than a man’s thumb, for by letting them remain on the stalk the leaves of the tobacco do not broaden vr become fully «devel- cped, as the suckers take up the sabtance of the stalk and conse- quently tha tobaces is thereby damaged and will miks nothing ~ bat light, chaffy and unsalable — tobavsco.

How Poker Flour'shed in Georgia in the Old Days. : Speaking about cards and eard players, there was a gentleman from one of the lower counties of Georgia telling his.experience in the legisla- ture a good many years ago when he represented his county in the gen- eral assembly. ‘‘Poker’s a mighty funny thing,” he said. ‘‘You never know when you have run against a good player. Take me, for instance. J was here in the legislature some time ago, and I know I didn’t appear to be what you call up-to-date—not a bit of. it. The members. from Augusta and Macon and Savannah and the. other cities thought they bad a soft. piece of pie when they got me in the first game. Well, I was. wellup. I had been playing the game a° little more’n they expected to see in a fel- low wearing the clothes I wore. ‘“Well, tomake a long story short, boys, I was here in the legislature the whole of that session and had seit supplies home to the folks every now and then, built and paid for a new corn crib, bought the old lady astove and sewing machine, and hadr’t. touched my. per diem, which Bob Hardeman paid me in a bulk at the close of the session.
