Hoeing ard Culture Of Tobacco.

Hoelng ard Culture Of Tobacco.
lIoeing tobacco, by some growers,
is q very slow and tedious work. 1t
should be done very rapidly. l can
see no reason why it is necessary to
cut and clean away all the soil that is
iu contact with the plant to the depth
of from one half to an inch, and then
pulling up now and flesh soil around
the plant. Many farmers do this al
ways. Is it because they suppose
that the displaced soil has become OK
haustca No experienced person can
think 50 for moment. Why, then,
do they persist in this (as it seems to
mc) foolish opelation' Is it because
the earth has become crustca and
hard' This may be so; but wonld
not throwing a small pol ton Of fresh
earth upon the surface of the hill
have the same effect, and without IN
Jury to the plant? an Of the op'n
that this deep cutting with the hoe
near the plant is all wrong; in COM
mon or ordinary soils, the soil is loose
enough to admit freely tho air and
tho heat of the sun What more is
wanting? ! think that it is well to
hoe tobacco rs soon as it is evident
that The roots have secured Il foothold
and the plant shows a tendency to
grow a little. Bnt hoo it very light
~, and be careful not to run the cul-
tivator too close to tho row; then
follow with the hoe, emitting up the
weeds if any have started. Aud if
the land has been fitted i great while,
the weeds will show themselves.
When they arc near tho plant, if not
easily removed with the corner of the
hoe, stop and remove them with your
fingers, bnt by no means endangcl
the breaking the newly started root
lets. These little fbrons roots arc
exceedingly tender aud easily bro
ken, and Il day or two Of valuable
time is lost for the growth of the
