TOBACCO IN SOUTH TEXAS.
Texas Farm and Ranch.

As the culture of tobacco IL awakening
such widespread attention throughout the
coast country, we judged Il would not be
without interest to many Of your readers
to learn something of the magnitude of
the industry from this point. the ncknowl-
edged American home of the Cuban cigar
leaf tobaccos. The industry, though yet
In It's incipicncy. Is an assured SUCCESS
from every point of view. ms attestcd by
the high rating of excellence accorded the
leaf for texture. shades. favor. burning
properties and aroma. by the leading ex-
pert Judges of tobacco from both manu-
featuring and jobbing circles of North and
South. And they concur in the opinion
that 1t IL superior TO any other cigar leaf
tobacco produccd In any other section OF
the United States. AMI as TO imported
goods. claiming II TO be the fac-simile IN
appearances and equal in every requisite tn
So per cent of Cuban tohaccos used in this
country. Hence, we dehuce the concur
sion, and without deerning ourselves arro-
giant in the assumption. that our product
viii take its rating and have its price set
and maintained by the imported article. for
the Obvious reason that II will come In
competition with imported and not domes-
tic tobaccos. The growing, proper stage
ot cutting. curing. sorting and sweating of
cigar leaf tobacco requires tar more
knowledge anr experience than necessary
with the chewing varieties. Thus It Is
that the growers In this section have had
much TO learn In regard TO the proper
mode of handling the weed as beat ADAPTED
TO climate and soil. And not unlike mos,
gigantic industries, as this Is inevitably
