'It is important 10 commence cuI!iTa-
ton soon after planting, to Loosen The soil
and star: The plants growing. Just at this
point many planters tail todo their duty,
which no subsequent work can atone fer.
Early, rapid aHd thorough cultivation Is
necessary 70 produce first claas tobacco.
If ,ho preparation has been thorough,
thrice .!oue.pg. followed each time
with a hard hoe, will suffice for the
crop.
"For tic first ;}lougt ag 10 implement
is better than The wirg coulter, the next
best the cultiya;or Gr dDG5!;' shovel,

rows With the single shoVei-a 'uffom on

with the third and LIS: larIow.
Never scrape down tobacco with tie
hoe withou. putting lack on :he hill or
bed a. muc:l dirt rs is scrarcd down.
This will prevent baking and save many
plant should dry spell follow the noe
working.
"Ary process which stirs the soil ef-
fectuGlly and often anu Keeps the PiaU's
free from grass ard weeds will constitute
good cultivation, 10 matter how aud wlth
what icoplemcnt done. Old lands will
REQUIRE more work III cultivation than
new aud dark grades more than bright.
Short sipglatrees should be used after the
rlahts are half grown TO prevent tearing
and breaking the leaves"
