Tho general idea that it is exhaustive to

Welay down four propositions which defy
successful contradiction.
/. It's cultivation puts the sOil in a bet.
tor condition for any succeeding crop, than
any other plant, as isprOvcd by the fact
that you make finer yield of wheat and
get more perfect stand of grass after a
tobacco crop than any other.
2. II feeds more from the atmosphere
after it has attained certain growth than
any other plant ordinarily cultivated.
Q. It's close cultivation more efsctu-
ally eradicates weeds aud foul vegetation
than any other crop
4. It's continued cultivation (ifjudiciOus)
year after year in the same lots has far
less tendency to exhaust the soil than In
dian corn, wheat, sorghum, buckwheut,
barley or turuips, cultivated iu the same
manner.
Contrast the profits arising from tobac.
co with other crops. An acre Of good TO-
bucco on we'll manfred lot. will yield
1900 pounds, which. at usual prices, will
bring $135 Any good hand can Guilt
yate at least-three acres, thus making 800
per aunum on this crop alone. 1t looks
like folly.to compare this with tho profits
arising from other crops, SO immense is
the advantage in favor Of the prediction of
tobacco. indeed IL is a well anthem
'ticated fact, that no man ever made
tobacco speciality, either as to its pro-
duction or as an article Of traffic through
