White Vein in Tobacco.

Some of the causes that produce the
white vein in tobacco is given, by an
experienced grower, in the Lancaster
Men Era. He says;
SIN your weekly issue of January
2Sth, an experienced grower, signing
himself f. X. H., gives it as his pos
tive opinion that white vein is the re-
suit of undeveloped growth, or, in the
exact language of the writer of the
above referred to after topping the
tobacco it received but a slight rain
until it was cut off. On stripping it, |
found the tobacco all nicely cured, ex-
cept that the first five or six branch
ribs, or veins. from the tips Of the
leaves, were white, The same writer
continues; 80 the plant, by continued
drouth, became 50 weakened that the
sap did nc. circulate to the veins at the
extreme points of the leaves, and they
died before the tobacco was cut, and
could rot possibly cure brown, as those
nearer the life center of the plant. the
stalk, and therefore grew more perfect"
"Now, we verify believe that 4. X.
II. is correct in his opinicn as to one Of
the causes Of white yein. No more
plausible theory could be advanced
than undeveloped or stunted growth.
The long continued drought and heat
ed term certainly had much to do with
producing the tobacco crop of 1881,
not only in bringing forth an abundance
of white vein in many localities, but
also light weight And now, granting
al your worthy correspondent has said
| in regard to white vein, may we not
naturally conclude that anything that
retards the full development of a to-
bacco plant, or, in other words, that
prevents the sap or vitality from enter
ing every part Of the plant, will pro-
duce a similar efcctY
STILL ANOTHER CAUSE.
BY careful observations made during
the different stages of growth IN the
crop Of 1881, We firmly believe that we
have discovered another cause for
white vein. In the fall OF 1880 we
commenced the preparatory work on
four acres Of clover sod for the follow
ing wear. Eighty tons Of manure were
well spread over the ground, after
which it wa. plowed and left in this
condition until the latter part Of May,
1881. II was then plowed, cultivated,
and put in proper order for planting.
The Gle-sner variety was planted over
the four acres, and about equal atten-
ton bestowed upon the work done un-

"Do you mean it, father"
Vivian Mahafiy looked steadily into
his fathers face as he spoke these
words; looked fairly and fully into the
face of the keen-eyed old man whose
pe:ted idol he had been since the days
of his babyhood. Vivian had said that
he was about to marry Ethelberta
O'Rouke, girl whom the old man
knew only as fashionable belle and
of whose better qualities he had never
heard, and in moment of anger he
had told the boy that if his determina-
ton was persisted in disinheritance
should follow. 1t was this threat that
had caused Vivian to utter the words
with which this story begins.
eyes, mean it., replied the father.
MARRY this girl if you choose, but if
you do, not penny of mine shall you
have"-and leaving those bitterly-cruel
words floating around the room he
stalked savagely from the apartment.
Two hours have passed. So have
seven or eight horse-cars, but the one
which Vivian is waiting for finally

her to his heart with great, almost
speechless, tenderness and joy.

pered.
Three months later, On a golden De-
cember afternoon, with blue sky as
in June, there was a grand wedding at
the O'Rouke mansion. As Vivian and
Ethelberta were entering the carriage
that was to bear them to the depot
she looked at him with weirdly pre-
cious smile.

A Natural Ant Trap.

Mr.. J. Harrie Stone describes in Ma.
tire how he found in Norway one of the
catchtiies busily trapping aunts. Last
June he was staying at Hunson, in the
Lard Valley, Norway, where he OBJ
served on the almost precipitous sides
of the valley a number of the red Ger
man catchfiy. The plants were grow
ing luxuriantly some one thousand feet
above the bed of the river, and were
showing gorgeous array of blossoms.
On plucking some of the flowers he be-
came aware of the most unpleasant
sickness around the stems, in some in
stances the glutiEous secretion being
powerful enough to support the whole
weight of the stem when he inverted
and opened his hand. On examining
the plants he was surprised at finding
on quite ninety-fve per cent, either
the dead bodies of large species of
ant or individuals i'll all stages ofdying
Some Towering stems had only one
dead or dying ant upon each; others
had two; others had three; while others
had as many as seven or eight. Some
ants, had as it were, simply laid down
in the glutinous matter and succumbed
without further struggling The heads
of others, firmly imbedded in the
treachcrous gum, with the rest of the
body stifiened and suspended in mid
air, testified to violent and prolonged
resistance. Some ants again had the
body, arched up, as if TO avoid contact
with the stem. and the legs were only
fatally caught. The gutinous or sticky
tracks lay around the stem directly be-
meath the holes, and were about half
an inch or more in depth.

til after topping. Two different par
ties attended this tobacco, one party
having three acres, and the other one
acre. As soon as the suckers grew to
the length Of five or six inches, they
were carefully removed from the three
acre lot, while in other lot they We're
allowed to grow ten or more inches in
length, and were removed Just before
cutting and scatiolding the crop.
And now comes the sequel. When
stripping was finished, about fifteen
pounds of white veined tobacco was
was found in the three acres, while
nearly one hundred pounds were taken
from the one acre. What, then is the
natural inference? Did not those large
suckers take much of the vitality from
the main stem that should have sup
piled the veins and fibres of the leaves?
With the same kind of soil, the same
amount of manure put to the acre, and
the same attention given to the cult
walton of the crop, should not white
vein have been about equally dis
tributed?
Another fact worthy of note is that
the one acre lot had the largest to-
bacco, and, without single exception
was estimated at from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty pounds per acre
more sthan the three-acre lot, but on
weighing the opposite was the result.
Not only was the weight greater, but
nearly two hundred pounds of first
or long wrappers more were produced
to the acre. Is this, then, not another
convincing evidence that long suckers
sap the plant from much of that nour-
ishment it should have for healthy
and proper development?
LOOK AFTER THE SUCKERS.
In dry season it is all-important
that everything thing that has tend
cncy to retard the growth of tobacco
should be removed. Suckers should
be removed at all times. for what dem
onstrates poor tobacco farming better
than long shoots from the upper part
of the plant, extending about n foot
above the stalk?
We are firm in the be lief that suck
ers not only produce white vein, es-
pecially in a dry and hot season, but
also light weight We are much
pleased to see this subject brought for
ward, and hope that others from your
country will give full expression OF
their experience in the matter. 1t is
only in this way that anything like
perfection can be reached by hbacco
growers.
