step that will stimulate the mer-

the worm will get down in The dust

way To get rid of them is to go from

up and take the worms off and kill
them, 1t is not necessary to ex.
anime those leaves which have no
holes eaten in them, as the eggs are
hard to find and the worm as soon

seen as soon as we come to the

if no holes are in the leaves we pass
to the next. Many plans have
been a failure, To put poison on
the tobacco plant such as Paris

consumer OF the tobacco and should
be prohibited by law. Lighted

snapped out without breaking or

ed to be left; the number of leaves
that are to be left on the stalk or
the hight at which it is to. be
topped depends upon the growthy

stalk is growing very rank and
thrifty the bud and three little
leaves may be taken out, and If the

are sickly in appearance. The aim
in topping is that each stalk may
be able to grow all its leaves to
full SIZE and that there
may be no small leaves on the top
of the stalk commonly called tips,
which are classed as cheap tobacco
without adding weight to the to-.

during the first year faster than during
any other period of the same length so
that IL gains about s inches, measuring when
twelve months old abou, y inches, It's
weight being about 10 pounds,
During the second year Il gains only 4
inches on an average, and pounds In

weight OF "a pounds. But these figures
represent only the average, the extreme

they are learning to walk, they become
thinner. not because they deteriorate In
