California Tobacco.

1t would seem as though tobacco
planting in California is destined to
have great influence upon the profit
of the crop in the East. The plant
ing is rapidly increasing in California,
year by year, and the product is enor-
nous. There are two or three cut
tings in season. and some planters
speak of four ,husand pounds per
acre, or more. as the yield of their
paintings One planter in Lake coun-
ty,has nearly three hundred thousand
plants Sc, out this season. an incor-
porated company have million
plants set out in Los Angeles county,
and nearly as many in Santa Cruz
county. Besides these there are many
other large planters. and more small
Ter ones. In addition to the large
paintings and prolific yield, process
of curing is there practiced, by which
the tobacco is quickly prepared for
market, and its value increased. This
is known as the Culp process, and is
patented. The tobacco yet green is
piled up and allowed to ferment and
heat. The moisture is thus rapidly
expelled, and the character and tex
ture of the leaf is improved. If the
anticipstions In which the California
tobacco growers freely indul lge, are
only partly verified, it will give rise
to serious competition, which Eas-
tern growers may find too formidable
to resist. If this should be the result
however, we do not think there is any
reason for regret, as we believe Eas.
tern farmers will find, in the long
run, wheat, corn, and grass, to b
more profitable to themselves and
their land than tobacco.

honsekerpefs complain of these over

greasy, thus losing in quality as well

hands of farmers themselves to rem
edy. They alone decide as to what
degree IF iatness their fowls shall be
brought, or rather, not knowing ex-
actly how fat they are, they continue
to feed them much too long for their
own profit. A very thin fowl can be
