How to Secure a Crop Of Tobacco

The Petersburg Index Appeal says:
We hear much complaint about the
destruction of tobacco plants bv the

to believe the trouble is very general

of every means and device they can

to gain time and secure crop Of

plan, which may not occur to every
one. While fighting the ily the best

and also plant grain of corn in each
