BY 0. L. JOYNER. In view of the tact that land planted continuously in tobacco for a number of years deteriorates orlcses some very important plant lite producing element in the tobacco crop, tobacco faimere lastead of complaining as we are all prone to do about poor crops and low prices, should set about to ascertain what is lacking in the soil to make to- bacco better. ‘Tobacco culture is a branch of agriculture that requires the exercise of. a good deal of serious thought and business judgment to make it profitable and unless it is profitable it is a most expensive crop. After noting a good many instances of this kind I am led to the ‘conclusion that in order to make better tobacco we need more potash. I think it would be a good idea for tebacco farmers in ad- ditiun to the quantity of guano they are accustomed to use add enough potash to run it to at least 4 or 5 per cent. potash. Almost any guano man can order the potash for you and as ths additional cost will not be very much. it would pay to try it. v Corbett Following Jitzsimmons. ‘San Francisco, March 30,—Jim Cor, bett, the ex-champion, heavy weight pugilist of the world, left this city last night with his trainer, McVey, for Salt Lake City, where he is booked to give an exhibition on Wednesday evening. Champion Fitzsimmons will also give an exhibition in Salt Lake City on the same evening, and the spcrting people are anxious to see how the fighters will draw. Some small bets were made yes— erday that Corbett will attract a larger crowd than thechampion, The Cali- fornian says that.he will try and ex- hibit in every town and city that his successful opponent will appear in on , nis journey through the states to New should change his managemene Just as); yp The business of a bank president is to see toit that the deposits are not overdrawn, and when they are largely overdrawn banks sometimes fail. The farmer should see to it that his land ‘s not overdrawn, and if he neglects this important duty it will net be very long before his tarm w.ll be bankrupt.
