The success made thus far in this county
In the cultivation of cigar leaf tobacco has
induced many planters to prepare for put
ting in a largely increased acreage this
year: Sheriff j. A. Pearce has secured the
services of Mr.. Hunter from North Carolina
and will plant twenty acres in the weed.
Other planters will put in from one to
twenty acres. The planters in the Center
vile neighborhood are planning the cree
ton OF large cooperative tobacco barn
Tor storing their crops, and the
securing Of experts to assert and pack
the leaf. There is yet considerable
OF last seasons crop uusold-some because
the owner is holding for better prices and
others on account Of having beer very care
lessly handled, and consequently unmarket
able. The good prices secured by those who
properly cured and assorted their crop has
been the means Of leading many TO plant a
few acres In the weed who are entirely ig-
norant OF its cultivation or how to handle
1t. This Is unfortunate, for such planters
will lose money and become discouraged
The experienced planters advise that
not more than one acre be planted
until experience teaches the best
methods Of cultivation. They also in-
sist that no farmer should plant an ounce
OF tobacco seed until he has built @ suitable
barn sufficiently large enough to hold his
crop without crowdlng Lots of real fine
leaf tobacco has been ruined In this county
by the careless planter crushing 1t into old
dry goods boxes or dilapidated log huts
| There are not now enough genuine tobacco
barns in this county to hold One-tenth of the
crop that the planters are preparing to put
| IN. Tobacco growing cannot be success
in this county until this error is corrected.
There must be more tobacco barns built.
There has been some delay in starting the
water from the artesian we'll through the
water works pipes, owing to non-arrival OF
| the pumps The we'll is 719 feet deep and
| the water rises to within ninety-eight feet
or the surface, necessitating the use Of a
pump. The water is of very fine medicinal
quality.
