4 We have viewed with no little interest
The increasing popularity OF the White
',Burley variety Of tobacco. The demand
for this tobacco is rapidly on the In
Grease, aud the territory heretofore given

'lproduee the amount required BY The
trade, and the extreme figures AZ which
Iit i selling will force il production in
other quarters.

States fobacco-growers. III late years,
have been bnt poorly paid for their
labor. and we desire 10 attract Your a. wv
ltcniion 10 the growth Of nurlcv. and
insist that you give IL trial and reap
some OF the profits which have been con
fined heretofore 10 so small section.
Last year we were AZ considerable cx VI
White Buricy seed. which we distributed

every county. We are aware that the
result. Ia many instances, was q disap-

would not have You forget that the sea-
Son, in every particular, was most un-
favorable one. First, the lack Of good

then the terrible drouth, which promised
10 destroy The entire crop aud even the
fall rains (Which brought tobacco out
beyond the expectation OF every one)

Iall tobacco. and this il one Of the most
Essential qualities or White hurley. If
you will stop for moment and reflect.

wanting in color, except that cut before
the rains. And this docs not apply to|
any particular locality, but II IL true or
every section. The crop Of the original
Bnrley counties Is as far from its usual
brightness a. other places.
Notwithstanding an the unfavorablc|
conditions which the grower had 20 con

which are suited for the trade, and will
be taken on our market az fine prices N
which convinces us, beyond doubt, that
this variety of tobacco can be grown in|
any Of our tobacco counties. We donot|
mean that any locality can make this
variety Of tobacco III It's greatest pcrfec-

our candid opinion. that there IL mol
COUNTY IN this or adjoining States, that
would not realize more money from iisl
tobacco crop BY growing White Burley
than can be realized from any other va

some crops OF new Burlcy sold on our|
market, from the very southern counties
of our State (Which produce the fat,
black tobacco). and although these crops
were considered BY tho growers rs faiI-|

very common White Bnrley brought
moro money than the fine rich tobacco
of the samo section will bring on any
market.
