New Kinds OF Tobacco Must be
Planted.

Prof. conrad, special lgent In charge
OF the collection Of statistics relating to
the culture Of tobacco, and wbgsa S.su
marks on its care and culture we pub
lIshed few weeks ago, when shown the
extracts from the Marlboro Gazette, Civ
ing the prices Of tobacco secured in
Lynchburg, Va, by Mr.. Deyer Roll
Inns, of Prince George county, said 20 a
newspaper reporter:
This single paragraph. is an apt
and timely Illustration Of the statement
| made only short time ago in an in-
terv'"w printed in .he American, in
which stated that il the Southern coun.
ties of Maryland are ever to make any
progress in tobacco-raising, it is to be
by the cultivation Of new varieties Of to-
bacco and by the adoption of the Ere
curing methods Of North Carolina aud
the other advanced tobacco-raising
States. Moreover, there is a point 10
that paragraph that the dealers of Balti-
more must not neglect to notice. Mr..
Rollins, you will observe, sold his to
bacco in Lynchburg, undoubtedly be-
cause the Lyuchburg merchants offered
him such inducements as we're not offer
ed by Baltimore merchants These latter
gentlemen, by the way, must awak, to
the fact that it is their advantage to rem
der all the assistance possible to the
tobacco planters Of Maryland and such
assistance properly extended will be
found to be indirectly remunerative."
Every pound oftobscco sold in Lynch
burg is loss to Baltimore. Mr. Rol-
Inns experiment in raising tobacco is
strong argument against the senseless
cry th ut the land Of Southern Maryland
is worthless, and not fit for the cultivI-
ton of any good crop 1t can be made
fit, and the flct that Mr.. Rollins receiv-
ed SO cents per pound for his tobacco
shows that it must ha7e been OF supe-
rior quality. THIS is encouraging, and
what this one man can do others can do.
Observe, also, that the acreage was
small. The crop was raised on three
acres. This fact is not to be ignored.
Let tae planters Of Maryland reduce the
acreage devoted to tobacco, work that
carefully and scientifically, planting new
and desirable varieties and adopt the APP
proved methods Of curing, End they will
soon notice the increase in their revenues.
In Connecticut the planters are reliev-
ed of the cares aud expenses attending
the cutting and curing Of tobacco. The
large dealers in New Haven and else
where send out drummers early in the
season; who inspect the crops of tobacco
and who buy the crops of the farmers
as they stand. They pay for the crops
,hea and assume all responsibilities at
tending the cutting and curing BY
this means the farmer is not put te the
expense Of erecting curing houses. IN
other cases the planters PREFIX to sut aud
cure their own crops, but in such com
muniies curing houses are erected on
the cooperative plan. Very few of the
Connecticut planters use more than three
or four acres in raising tobscco.
