Hints on Tobacco Culture.

In handling tobacco during the
worm season, do not depend alone on
worming it in the field. When cut
ting or printing off, look carefully
for eggs or worms, and in few days
after it is hung up, go over it and see
that any that might have been over
looked be destroyed. Every egg car

ried in on the green tobacco soon
matches out, and the young worm
commences Immediately to convert
your beautiful whole wrapper leaves
into ragged filters.
Everything we produce requires
care and watchfulness, but this be-
ing new to us we think it great deal
of trouble, but not more, perhaps,
than the orange business, as the
young trees have also to be watched
continually for scale and other pests,
and the oranges for the rust mite and
the weather for freezes, the transport
tation companies for extortion, and
the commission rascals.
1t is a good plan to leave one or
two suckers at the bottom of the
plant before cutting or pruning of
the leaves, for if no sprouts or suck
ers the old stock when cut off close
to the ground is liable to die, and es
pecially if the weather is hot and dry.
Then as soon as your first crop of
leaves are off, fertilize and cultivate
same as before for good sucker
crop, which will depend on rain and
good cultivation. There is no reason
why the sucker crop should not be as
heavy, and even of better quality,
than the first-provided, of course,
that it has sufficient rain, fertilizer
and tillage.
In our own practice this year we
have "primed" off the leaves, CHANGING
quickly at the bottom side of each
leaf for worms, and putting the
leaves in large baskets and then haul
ing in wagon to curing house, where
children with darning needles and
wrapping Irvine string and hang on
laths, then put up to dry. The same
plan as described for Sumatra, but
we find it good also for Vuelta Abajo.
This plan would be rather tedious
when the leaves are small, but we
believe in raising large leaves-the
larger the better, if not coarse and
rough, but size of leaf must not be
secured at the expense of the other
necessary qualities.
When the leaves are dry the laths
are taken down and the string un-
fastened and the leaves are pushed
to center of string, and string wrap
ped around the butts of the leaves,
tied up neatly, and your work is done
no tiresome stripping and selecting
the good from the bad.-Palatka Adj

The First Barlow Sales.


Our tobacco growers are quite
hopeful over the present outlook.
A number of sales in various parts
of the county at prices ranging from
forty to sixty cents have been made
and other buyers have senC word tina
thew would be here in few days te
look over the crops.
Of the Barlow sales made last week
we mention that of Mr.. L. N. Milan
who disposed of his crop harvested
from eleven acres, at 40 cents pei
pound. 1t has not been weighed uI
yet, but is estimated at from 1000 to
5000 pounds.
Mr.. T. I'll. Shumate sold a portion OF
his crop at 40 cents. The buyer OF
these two crops was Mr.. j. E. Still
man, for Little Bros, of Jacksonville.
Mr.. Milan estimates that he will
net about $500 on this crop and he
gave very little attention to any part
of it, having hired everything done.
Elsewhere we print an account of
the authenticated sales of the Plant
City crops and it is expected that the
purchaser of these crops, Mr.. O'Hal-
loran, of Tampa, will shortly visit
Barlow with view to buying up the
product here. Messrs. j. HI. Tatum
and L. c. Tanner, representing all
the finished tobacco-that is, the last
falls crop which has been betuned
and baled- carried samples to Tampa
last week, and wherever it was eX-
hibited it was declared to be very fine
and manufacturers were eager for it
Cigars made from it were equal if not
superior to the finer Havanas. The
burning qualities, the color and the
flavor were all that could be desired,
and few if any could detect the diff
ference when put by the side of inn
ported goods.
We have it on good authority that
one Ol our clIlZoHS TcCcHLIy PIOCuICu
a lot of choice Havana leaves and tax
ing these, with some of our Barlow
leaves, to a number of factories the
Barlow leaf was nearly every time
pronounced the choice between the
two lots.
At all events, it now seems clearly
settled that forty cents is the mini
mum price for pole cured leaf, and
there is every reason to believe thai
the bulk of the crop will bring much
more than that. Many growers with
whom we have talked say that they
are quite willing to engage in the
business permanently if they can sell
at forty cents, and we feel fully war
ranted in assuring them that they
need never expect less, provided al
ways of course, that due care is ex'
ercised in the handling of the crop
