CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF TOBAC-
CO CURED BY THE STALK
AND LEAF PROCESSES.

Technical Bulletin No. 5, recently
issued by the N. @. Experiment Station,
contains information about the chemi-
cal composition of the different grades
of tobacco as affected by the two meth
eds of curing, namely, the old style
stalk cure and the newer method Of
curing the leaves alone, pulled from
the stalk as they become ripe. In ar
irving at conclusions, it was necessary
to distinguish between the immediate
effect Of the curing and the effect that
the pruning, time of harvesting, etc,
had on the quantity and quantity Of to-
bacco produced. The chemical compo
sition Of tobacco cured by similar meth
DDS was not naturally affected by sepa-
rating the leaf from the stalk before
curing provided the condition of the
tobacco was the same when put in the
BARN.. but there were some marked
variations which resulted from the
manner and time Of harvesting. These
variations were most noticeable In Case
Of the green tips or filters, where the
increased growth caused by pruning
tie lower leaves in the leaf curing pro-
cess has made a large increase IN the
percentage Of albuminoid5 and nico-
tine. This would indicate a stronger
and somewhat inferior quality Of to
bacco in case Of these leaves, but the
gain in weight more than com pensates
for the slight loss in quality, The
larger amour t Of tobacco obtained by
the leaf curing process resulted both
from saving all the lower leaves
when at their best, and the in
creased growth Of the upper part
of the plant, Briefly stated, the
result of the investigation was
in favor of the leaf curing process III
consideration Of the quantity, quality
and general appearance of the bulk of
tobacco produced. In addition to the
comparative results, this bulletin fur
nishes the most complete analyses OF
the yellow tobacco, peculiar to certain
sections of North Carolina, that has
ever been published, including com
plete organic and inorganic analyse
of stalks, stems and leaves.-F. B

SOME Remarkable FACTS.

Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
made the following statement in his
speech in the Senate last week:
Now, let me state a circumstance
which is sometimes a more potential
fact than any argument anybody "a
offer. In the little town where L live
there is two banks Of $50, 600
capital each. They had loaned
q certain amount to two young
gentlemen Of character and position
and credit, who had rented a
large plantation, and they had Dor
rowed the money for the purpose of
supplying their labCIers, buying plan
CaIiOn supplies, etc About the month
of july, which is. in our country, [
might say, the crisis Of the cotton crop,
they discovered that they did not have
money enough by $3.50 to carry out the
plans which they had made, in the
making Of that crop. They came to me
and SAID if they could not get that $3.50
their years crop would be jeopardized.
l went to the president OF one of the
banks, who | happened to know init
mately, and said to him, you may
with perfect safety loan these two
young men $3.50 more. [ have seen
their crop, | have e the condition of
their animals, and it would be perfect
ly safe for you to do So He said, Why,
sir, | would loan them $3.50 without
the slightest hesitation, but if Wander

il Is we'll known that for some time
both the Psnnsyivania Railroad Company
and the Long Island Railroad Company
have had In contemplation tunnel enter.
prise which would connect the terminal Of
the former road Ut Jersey City with both
the Battery in New York and some point
In Brooklyn. The project has begun 70
take definite shape by the recent
filing Of certificates for the CONSOLE
dation Of the New York. New Jersey &
Eastern railroad and the New York &
New Jersey Underground Railroad Com
pany into the Brooklyn, New York 4 Jer-
sey City Terminal Company. II is stated
that tunnel will pass under the bed Of
the North river on such an alignment a.
to enable station to Be constructed at the
Battery. from which point it would Be con-
tinued under the East river to some point
in Brooklyn, which has been stated to be
ct Atlantic and Flatbush avenues. BY
these means the Pennsyivania company
would make direct connection with the
Long Island railroad aud with practically
all the elevated lines both in Brooklyn and
New York city. with the possible excep-
ton Of the Kings County road in the for
mer city. The completion Of any such
project - this would undoubtedly consti-
tute most important system Of feeders to
the Pennsylvania road, and Il would seem
not unlikely that IL may in some shape be
culminatsd in the future.
