FINE TOBACCO CROPS.
The Curing Excellent and tine
Yield Very satisfactory.

\ prominent tobacco planter yesterday
told representative Of THE CITIZEN
that the tobacco crop of the west this
season was of a most satisfactory
character in every respect, The curing
process, he said, was unusually success
iul, and large crop is bound to be
made. In speaking of curing, our friend
said that over twenty-five thousand
pounds hitherto wasted in the counties
OF Bunrombc and Madison, would be
saved this season by reason of the cnl-
plovmcnt of the Shelton wire Strin-
ger, by means of which all
the lower leaves on the stalks
arc strung and cured in excellent manner.
These leaves i'll the past have been
allowed to drop off and only the leaves
above have been taken care of by the
average planter. These lower leaves
make prime cutters when properly looked
after and will average on warehouse
floors 500 per hundred pounds. The
wire stringcr is a great, yet simple invcn-
tion, and is in extensive usc in Madison
this season. Maj. Rollins has bunch OF
cutters, saved by the wire process, on
exhibition at Pcnnman'S hardware store
in this city. The leaf is perfect in color,
being a bright lemon, solid i'll weight and
fine in texture. 1t is in most excellent
condition and tobacco men regard it as
a superior quality i'll grade.
From nearly every section in the west
THE CITIZEN hears favorable reports
concerning the growing crop, while that
portion already ripe and cured is all that
the planters could wish. fan unusually
early frost does not visit our section the
crop it is said, will be the largest known
in ten wears.
