Your friend, tguly, ED. Nj. PACE.
The AduQnce Says that Mr.. PACE showed
TO its editor a SIMPLE OF the White Barley
tobacco, which, Though il sold for S27 per
hundred pou IDS. Is about equal in quality
to Virginia Tobacco that.sells for less than
one third OF that price.
The Discussion OF this matter by the
press OF the State, especially in the region
covering he production OF our dark manu-.
featuring and ssiDping grades, we regard
as NEST opportOne. THIS is the season
when plant-beds are prepared and sown 1t
is not proposed. OF course, that The tobacco
grower shall a. once make total change in
his arrangements, but that each shall plant
enough OF the ~ hiie Burley" to see how
it suits his lanj. Farithe bright Navy"
plug yellow Virginia wrapper is used;
and for the al black. Navy" a dark Virginia
wrapper. The man who is fixed TO make
these dark wrappers. and does the work
we'll, will ind buyers plenty for his pro-
duct. But every man in the dark.tobacco
country is not so happily circumstanced.
