MATURING TOBACCO LAND.

MATURING TOBACCO LAND,
Warmly riiuated.--Ths sroana component
part OF Tobacco Is earth on which The plant
feeds, mostly through its Toois there, II is evil
dent that Tobacco land should he deeply broke
and wall pulysIiEed. THIS is manuring IN
fact-,his Insnuring for size aud weight
this /. manu,ing OF the FRA, eons,defaiion7-
which in general WI vepui,e the more labor
in the warmrst shn"tions, in conspquence of
Ihs greater Co,npaciness Of The Earth
The s.cond Ingredient in Tobacco i. salts
and whereas nesrly all l,nd ~hiobu warmly
situated 70 deficient IA salts, such land sh, ,uld
be dressed with Iravss, straw, the stalk. aud
other ofraI Of robacco, the dropp,nes OF cows
orany other In which ~ contained The greaie.I
auantitv Of wanted matter.
The third ingredient IN Tobacco is oil,
Land which is warmly siIua ed, and yet Of a
cold nsturr, con,sinsa large portion OF oils
which although p."huc ng small Tobacco, YET
II IL oG The finest quality.
Such Ia I'd should be Ilnnghed deep, and
puiverzed by evefy possible means but when
Tobacco uia 6ne texture sells much bi, her
than any other, II may no' be Proper To alter
the nature of such land by means Of heating
unanures. When such land is made porous by
deep culture, II Will extract from The almoS.
phere a suilicienCy OF salt, for the production
OF Tobacco Of that quality which sat pressn,
m The greatest demand.
But least some one be led into an error nv
the preceding remarks. II may he well for nv
here to say, that Land ~ made Of n warmer
nature only by a continuation aud perfect
proportion Of salts and oils. That Ia nd which
contains u large portion oi salts, and n small
portion Of oils and ihst containing n large
portion Of oils, and small portion OF salts i,
equally cold hence IL il evident, that 10 warm
e,ther, the Ingredient which Is lacking must be
added
Putting oily manures on clay and such n,
contain large quantity of sBlts, on dark and
rich land, would be working snwis,iy. and a
gainst nature.
II may be we'll further TO say. thai do M
believe any land which is warmly situated (;
lacking in oils, bat IL in his mistake. then q,
such, that kind OF manure which contains IN os
oils must be used and OF whit | shall present
Jy more particularly speak.
