loan is the best; and if bright wrap
per is wanted, even this should have
yellow or Iight-colored subsoil,
either clay or sand, the latter being
preferable for growing leaf of the
finest texture. But any good sandy
loan in Florida, if not too wet, may
produce good cigar tobacco, if not i'm

tiary) of north and west Florida, or
with clay in the surface.
AS in the mineral kingdom, the
most precious metal, gold, is never
found disassociated from silica.
(sand), so in the vegetable kingdom,
the finest qualities of texture, aroma,
flavor, etc., are only to be produced
from silicious (sandy) soils, unmixed
with the baser calcereous, ferrugi
nous, and argilaceaus elements l. e.,
limestone, iron and clay. However,
if a sub-stratum of clay occurs one
foot or more below the surface, it is
no disadvantage, but may be me-
chanical benefit in supporting moist
ure.
1t is also fact that the finest cigar
leaf in the world is grown only on
tropical and semi-tropical islands and
peninsulas, e. g., Cuba, Sumatra, Flor
ida, etc., where much of the make up
of the soil is marine drift, and the eli
mate is warm and humid, for it is
known to experts in cigar leaf that it
requires a humid atmosphere from
the seed to the cigar and the reverse
is deleterious, and if continuous, is
ruinous.-Florida Experiment Station

Tobacco Growing in Sumatra.

An old planter thus writes in the
journal of the Jamaica Agricultural
society: ''The usual practice is only
to cultivate particular plot of land

tiles, to-wit: flavor, texture, uniform
color without white veins or calico
spots), and last, but not least burn
ing quality. 1t may have all of the
former in the highest degree, and
without this burning quality, be ut
terly worthless for cigar purposes. A
cigar requiring two men, one to
smoke and the other to hold the
torch, would not be in demand. Ordi-
nary commercial fertilizers contain
saline properties, preventing free
burn, or still other deleterious sIaugh-
ter house properties, affecting the
aroma or uniform color. That ferti-
lizers should be used with great eau
ton may be demonstrated by the use
of German kainit, which prevents
burning altogether; or hog-pen,
might SOIL or goat manures, giving
the AROMA" CD of pole cat to the
cigar. So it appears, from the forego-
ing, that all efforts to enrich the soil
should be made with the sole view of
restoring the orr ginal properties of
the virgin SOIL which, of course, were
mainly from vegetable sources. This
is helped by shading and mulching
which acts mechanically to generate
humus. absorb and husband nitrogen,

often asked. Unless the manure is
well-rotted and pulverized, broadcast
is the better way But never use sta

then only light dressing broadcast.
This is given, not to feed the plants,
but for the purpose of inoculating the
soil with nitrifying bacteria by whose
agency the sterile soil is quickened
and enlivened. - If strewn in the row
distribute with a bull-tongue pillow or
pitchfork, so as to prevent "caking'
or drying up of the plant, of which
there is no danger if scattered broad

land well, lay off the rows, (3R feet, }
then scatter broadcast and throw two

How Much Fertilizer Per Acre?-In
New England two or three tons OF
fertilizers per acre are used, and they
get 1900 or 1000 pounds of tobacco
per acre, which can be done just as
really in Florida with the same liber-
al application of manure and the
same type of tobacco.
Transplanting.- plants are
three to six inches high, they are
ready to be put out, in the same man

whenever there are missing places the
plants on the border thereof are apt

| Cultivation of the Plant.-About ten
days after transplanting, go over with
the hoe carefully removing the grass
from near the plant, drawing the soil
little around it. The sweep and cul-

Preparation of the Land.-It should

that the roots should be ral<ed and
