| The prospects are that the Missouri
planters will astonish the world as to the
! fine quality of tobacco raised the coming
season.-!St. Louis Tobacco Reporter.
This is an argument in favor of Virginia
and North Carolina planters putting in a
small crop and growing it fine. We can
not raise common tobacco and compete
with the West. Stick pin here.
The Tobacco World, Of Louisville, KY,
puts this cheerful aspect upon the situation
OF the farmers Of that ssction with regard
to the coming crop of tobacco, and the GOLD
LEAF suggests it as a good example for the
planters of Virginia and North Carolina
TO initiate. That Journal says:
Less acres, more fertilizer, better quail.
ity and more pounds per acre is the way
our best tobacco growers are talking for
1888.
The increase in circulation of the COLL
LEAF, as also in its advertising patronage
has been more satisfactory during January
and February, than at any former time il
its history. Keep the boom going, friends
and we will be enabled to make the papel
still better, and this we are even more
anxious to do than you are. It is by M
means such q paper as we would publish
ii zoe had tie "naeans." You catch gu
meaning?
