We hear that qaite a number of farmers are curipg tobacco this week. | » There are a good many up-coun- try tobacco curers coming down this season. How about prices this season, is'a frequent question nowadays. No one can tell just what any par ticular grade of tobaceo is going tosell for. We can only draw conclasions from experience, and if-we are to be governed by the past, it stands to reason that the better grades of tobacco will sell at.good prices. While the mar- kets of the world are now fall of nondescript stuff and as a matter of course auch. grades-of. tobacco will necessarily remain low with bat little demand for them. » Several moré buyers are expect- oa to locate ‘in Greénville the coming Vear. have had nom- bers of letters of inquiry: from seyeral large dealers in reference to.the crop outlook, and the prob- ability of getting prize houses Hére. “The marxet will be in «a pan ‘position this year to offer nent to buyers to come eorateen ever before.

Over there he says the ‘far- mers are just béginning té grow tobacco, but that’there are sev-— eral good crops. . We don’t know anything about the nature. of the soil of, Hertford county, but if it is adapted to tobacco and will ma- ture it all right, we see no reason as profitable there as- soywhere else. — ‘TOPPING TOBACCO. ; Tobacco is a plant whose growth must be checked in early summer, or it will puaton too much _ leaf: ‘This is what is known as topping. When a bud appears iin the top of the plant that indicates that the plant is getting ready to seed: and at this stage the plant shoald be topped. This is usually done by going through the field and pinching off the top of the. plant. The namber of leaves which shenid be allowed to matare on each stalk depends very much upon the quality.of the land and the amonnot of fertilizer used. If the land is quite strong or the fertilizing heavy, the plant may be- topped at fré-n Sto 16 or even 12 leaves-. If the land is:poor. and the fertilizing ight; let* the top- ping range from 5to 10 leaves. The hand who does the topping many leaves should be allowed to remain on the stalk and ripen. A little practice, however, soon makes this an easy part of the work. That 1s Our Aim, “You are certainly showing much. enterprise and doing ex- éellent work for Greenville, for whith yon are entitled to.a great deal of credit,” remarked an ob- sering gentleman to the RrEFriec- TOR.
