Early Transplanting---Its Ad-
vantages.

The earliest / have known tobacco Il
be set in this section was the 10Th OF
! May; from this to the 10Th of June NAV
be regarded as early in this latitude.
This season OF the year, as a rule, we
have more rain and cloudy weather ana
tht soil is more damp than later in the
season, hence, plants set during tEat
time are more certain to live, not being
so much exposed to the scorching rays
Of warm days sun as when set later;
there are no plants burnt to be replaced,
and an even crop is secured. This early
planting enables the grower not Only to
secure a good stand Of plants with the
least possible labor. but if allowed TO
stand until properly matured before
cutting, we will have ore 50 perfect that
there will not be found a frozen leaf or
wet butt in the whole crop. Such crops
may be taken from the poles and stripp-
ed before the approach of much cold
and freezing weather.
have heard some people object to
early planting upon the supposed theory
that the yield was light compared with
later planting. But when we consider
the fact that from 500. to l 800 pounds
assorted weights of Havana seed variety
have been produced per acre. l conclude
that such yield would be sufficient TO
satisfy such persons that it is the early
bird that catches the worms.
WORMS.
Is one of the most formidable enemies
the grower has to contend with while his
plants are growing. 1t is generally con-
coded that we have two installments of
these during the season; the first are but
few in number compared with the sec
ond or later. With watchful eve and
timely attention the early planting may
be safely housed without any material
damage before the appearance of the
second installment This fact alone in
the absence of the advantage referred
TO above in favor of early planting
should be sufficient to stimulate the
gro ger to the use of all the means With
in his reach to secure a crop free from
the raeages of so great pest. But to
secure these results early plants are
essential; without these we shall fail.
Therefore the greatest caution should be
exercised not only in the selection of
the most approved varieties of seed, but
also in testing it. to determine whether
it is healthy and sound before it is sown.
In order TO determine this, some seed
should be sown in a vessel in time for
it to come up before the season of SOW
ing in the bed arrives. by this simple
means every person can determine
whether the seed is reliable or not
