priced. Our soil is peculiarly adapted to
the growth of tobacco-the cultivation of
which has done moro than anything else
to enrich our farmers and make our county
the most wealthy agricultural ono in the
state, and in tho Union. There is no
reason, therefore, why the crop of 1888
should not be as large or larger than any
that has preceded it.. The increase of the
population of the country is in greater
ratio than tho increase Of our acreage of
tobacco. There is no more probability Of
the market being OverstOcked than there
is of our fine leaf being supplanted by the
flimsy stuff from Sumatra or the coarse
and heavy leaf from Virginia and Ken
tucky. Ours is the favorite leaf for
cigars, and farmers need not be afraid to
grow it il they select good seed, good soil.
give it thorough cultivation and handle it
carefully.
But little can be said as yet of the crop
Of 1888. The exceptionally backward
Spring has retarded the growth of tho
plants, and prevented as yet any general
setting out Of them. For few days past,
the weather has warmed up q little, and
some planters who prepared their ground
early, and had plants grown under glass
or canvas, have set them out but not
one tenth-perhaps not one fiftieth-of
the coming crop has yet been set. The
ensuing two or three weeks will be busy
ones with tobacco farmers. May they be
richly rewarded for their labor.
