At a regular monthly meeting of the Lynch
burg Tobacco association of this city held
| two days ago q circular was issued tC
planters urging upon them the importance
of abandoning the old process of smoking
their tobacco when curing the same, and the
Importance and advantages to be derived by
them from tho use of hues in curing
all tobacco intended for manufacturing
purposes. They represented that wood
cured tobacco is not desirable for manufactur
ing purposes, and that the taste of consumers
has undergone so radical a change that NJ
manufacturer can use it safely in any of hi
brands above the most common" and they
are confident that sun and f1ue cured fller
and wrappers will command from 20 to 25 pc

bocco cured with wood smoke" For "heav,
shipping tobacco" they recommend the " ole
wood smoking system to be continued a
best" This circular is considered a very i'm
portant address to the planter in every sec
tion.
