Is ACKNOWLEDGEMENT LII d III UdIu. bu
growers are earnestly advised to pro
vide thorough ventilation and not re
sort to this artificial heat except il
the lastextremity. There is hardly ever
a day even in the height of the rainy
season when the forenoon is moi
bright and clear, and a shaft of pure
air blowing through the ventilators
helps matters wonderfully.
Mr.. Cory told us that one year in
the rainy season, one of his best fore.
men almost begged him to be allowed
to build fires in his barn to arrest the
incipient stem rot and mold. Mr.. Cor
ry temporized with him from day to
day, and still it rained. Finally he
told him that on the following day he
might put in some stoves, but when
the next day came it was one of the
loveliest days that Florida can pro-
duce, the ventilators were thrown
wide open, the dry air sifted through
the gables all day, and the tobacco
was saved without the stoves.
The wettest weather of the Florida
midsummer rainy, season is a severe
test on fine Cuban cigar tobacco, but
experience has shown that good barns
and a vigilant watch will bring it
through all right.
Preparing for the Dealers.-When
the leaves are dried out which re-
quires on an average about three
weeks they are taken off the string
and bound into "hands'' Of about
thirty leaves
The hand is deftly bound at the
butt with single leaf, making kind
of switch, with all the leaves free and
open for inspection. These hands
should be packed neatly in boxes and
pressed down tight to keep the leaves
straight and smooth in hauling to
market Careless growers tumble their
tobacco into bags, baskets, anything,
IL
tossed and crumbled. Such treatment
insures low price.
Growing the Seed.-The most care
less growers simply select some choice
rich spot in the field and allow few
large stalks to go to seed. Very few
are needed, as tobacco seed are as fine
as gunpowder. The leaves from these
seed plants are plucked off separately
and strung on strings.
On the Owl Cigar Company's lands
and by a majority of the farmers
throughout Gadsden county, the crops
of Sumatra and Cuban toabcco are
grown from what is called second year
seed. That is the seed is originally i'm
ported from Sumatra and Cuba, sown
in plant beds and the plants set out
in the field. These plants are cultivat-
ed carefully and from them is saved
sufficient seed of both varieties to last
several years, and this second year
seed is used exclusively for their large
crop of about thousand acres. The
experience of the company has been
that this second year seed produces a
tobacco approximating more closely
the imported article than does seed
grown in later years.
In case of a Sumatra variety Mr.. Ell
Curtis states in his circular of in.

Tobacco Culture at Quincy.


in the north were made as high and
narrow as possible but these are built
one-story high and wider. 1t is found
desirable in the case of fine cigar
wrapper tobacco to have ii cure as
near the ground as possible. The
moisture arising from the ground in
the barn on a spell OF hot weather
helps to moderate and temper the cur
ing process and prevents the leaves
from drying out brittle. Hence
board floor is objectionable. The
best barns have wide folding doors at
each end, and the gables are furnished
with three long upright ventilating
doors only about "A inches wide. Thus
the barn can be closed up tight and
dark or it can be opened up for ven
tilatio The sides also are ventilated
with windows or shutters. AS an eX-
pertinent few barns were built with
windows, so that light could be admit
ted but not the outside atmosphere,
but Mr.. Cory has not been able to see
any advantage in this feature. Both
in the field when the tobacco is grow
ing and in the barn when it is curing
the access of light and air is desirable,
but not the direct sunlight. The ex-
ception to this rule is when the to-
bacco is curing in very damp weather
in the ''rainy season." then the house
should be closed up tight ana artifi-
cial heat should be created some
times to prevent moulding.
The Curing Process.-This is by far
the most important part of the whole
business. 1t is easy for an unsklled
man to lose $50 or $75 worth of tobac-
co by smothering it in tight barn
in damp muggy> weather. When the
weatheris damp and close there is dan
ger of ''stem rot'' that is the midrib
and nerves, being the thick sappy part
of the leaf, is the slowest in drying
out, and a fungoid disease sometimes
attacks them, causing the laminae of
the leaf to split off and to become rift
ed into little narrow strips. This
makes the leaf useless for anything
but the cheapest filler.
Mold, which is also a fungoid
growth, may at the same time set in
all over the leaf. This, however, is
not considered so serious, except for
the appearance, as the leaves may be
dried by opening the barn and the
mold can then be brushed off,.
Ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS growers
are tempted to resist these two dis
eases with smoke, which they errone-
ously consider to be drying and an
tiseptic. Heat is drying but practical
tobacco men insist that smoke is not.
But the worst of the matter is that it
scents up the tobacco and renders it
worthless. Though itself one of the
rankest smelling Weeds tobacco is es-
pecially sensitive to the influence of
other odors especially to that of
smoke.
In long spell of rainy weather the
growers who have tight barns are
tempted to kindle fire under the cur
ing tobacco; but they do so with the
almost certainty that the odor of
smoke will he detected in the crOD and
