Leaf says about them:
"very few OF our farmers will plant Hav-
ana this year. And do you know whyg i

Dozens of other arguments were used to in.
duce our raisers to change front and favor
Havana. What Is the result? In 1854 about
half seed and half Havana were planted.
Havana was bought first; seed leaf was ne
elected. The year 1886 came: raisers did not
know what to do Dealers came and said:
'You must raise Havana-tine Havana--that
is the only way you can drive Sumatra out Of
the market Raisers have done so, and now
fully tour-fifths is Havana. Do the buyers
go after this Havana that was placed poles

his old ground again, for then he will have
market at all times for his article-be ii fine,
good or indifferent. Raise seed leaf by all
means. II they want to buy and work Su-

else beside the outside wrapper. If seconds

Our East Donegal correspondent writes
| follows:
i The question in this section among the ia
8 mers is, shall We plant Havana or seed lie
n tobacco this year?
The sales 80 far in this end of the coun
averages about IA cents for Havana wrapper
and cents for seed leaf wrappers Son
OF our farmers think that seed leaf pays bt
ter at cents than Havana at IA cents co
sidering the weight being much greater p
q acre than that of Havana. We think it q
o pends greatly upon the soil, and the cultu
a of the crop. We have instances in th
a vicinity where over l,7O0 pounds of Hawai-
have been grown ON single acre OF groun
and everything taken into consideration Il
% Havana will be the more profitable artic
u and one that will meet with a more rea6
ii sale.
