Mr. l.. T. NintrouX, in speaking of The
West Virginia tobacco crop to-day, said.
u don't think there was more than 20
per cent. of the 1883 croD saved, and d.
was not more than an average
crop az any time during The
year In the early stages the worms
cut 10 badly, doing such damage that
about One-third had TO De replanied, and
the replanting didn't amount To any
thing. Mine was so mean that ! had Do
cut down and left on tine ground IL was
so mean ] didn't want 90 bother with 10

from favored spots, and if had thought
the tobacco would look as mean as it did
after cutting 1 wouldn't have bothered
with IT, lost seven and saved twelve
houses. Many others lost in proportion.
l was about the heaviest loser in my
county In the adjoining bottom where
fine tObaccos used to be raised there
were only three tenants last year and
two of them told me they didn't
save anything more of their crops
than would answer for smoking about
home 1t would be safe TO say that
twenty hOgsheads would cover the crop
of "BOuldln Bottom and not over nifty
hogshcads of what is termed d1ih to-
baccos were made last year in the Kama
wha Valley OF course there are dark,
brownish and green tobacCos in the
hands of inexperienced growers, the to-
baccos having suffered from high top
ping. This character of tobacco has
been kept back, as / have kept back The
meaner portion of mine, and it depends
upon the market whether bring 10 IN at
an 10 is on the mountain lands that the
fine brights are made.
our market was strong and active to-
day with good sales of wrappers and
good shipments
