Tobacco.

The plant is ripe when the leaves be-
come thick and brittle. 1t is then cut.
Use shoe knife-split the stalk down
nearly, to the lowest leaf, cut off
just below the leaf. Turn the plants,
when cut, upside down and leave them
in that position till they are wilted and
do not break in handling. If there is
danger of the plants firing" or frost cut
before they are ripe-collect the leaves
on sticks or feet long and hang them
on scafiolds or remove them to the
tobacco barn.
Tobacco is. sometimes cured on
scaffolds IN the open air, most planters
cure it thus because most convenient.
Shipping tobacco is best taken to the
barn and hung close together in tiers as
soon as it is sufficiently wilted to be
handled easily. " = -
Tobacco for manufacturing purposes
is best cured in the sun.
The tobacco is left in the barn from
4 to days, the, sticks are then put
about 6 inches apart, and the firing is
begun. -r'f
Begin with small fires, and gradually
increase them. Shipping tobacco
should be cured to blackish brown
color. You now have the leaf cured
upon the stalk. The next step is to
strip the leaf from the stalk, assert the
leaves and tie them in hands. The
tabacco is Tin orders" for stripping
when the leaf is moist so as not to break
the stem yet dry enough to break readi-
ly. This condition is secured at the
beginning of a damp spell Of weather.
After the weather continues damp for
several days, the stems are penetrated
by the moisture and become tough. 1t
is then said to be in ''too high order"
1t must then be fred till thoroughly dry
and then allowed to come in order
again. In order that the stripping may
be done during the winter when other
work must wait on the weather, a large
quantity of it is ''bulsed" when it IS sin
order"
That is the tobacco is packed down,
on rails or boards or layer of tobacco
sticks. The leaves are Tapped over the
middle of the pile and the lower end OF
the stalks out side. The whole IS then
covered with straw to keep it from dry.

does not mould when in this condition.
The asserting of the tobacco is the
most difficult part Of the process OF
getting it ready for market.
First select the ''l,ags" The lower
leaves on the stalk and others that are
injured or ragged.
Then the seconds" next best quality
