This is done by thor- sughly working the land and then har rowing. The rows are layed off three and a half feet apart, the guano at the rate of about seven to eight hundred pounds to the acre, and what other ma- bacco produced in the same States we find them very varied sometimes and the obj:ct of this paper iso give the To bacco Growers and Deale:s Convention sume idea of the types of tobacco p:0~ duced in North Carolina and the mag_ nitude of the industry there. nures that may be used, is put in and then the furrows are listed the middle is opened and the lund is then ready, fer trausplanting.

According tv facts gathered a short time ago from depositions taken by the American ‘Lobacco Co., from prominent and reliable tobacco growers and dealers throughout different sections of North Carolina, 6 per cent. of the the tob.c~ co growa in North Carolina is used iu the manufacture of cigureties. If this be true (aud I do not quesiion it) theu I should judge that at least 75 per cent. ot the tovaceo produced in the extreme eustern and western portions of the state is used for this purpose. By this { do not mean that 7a per cent of It Is bought and manutactured by American but by both domestic and forcign manu, tacwurers. lhe remammg 20 per cent i3 used tor different purposes.
