Tobacco Reporter Gives Timely Advice.

With the return of warm weather the
seed beds for another tobacco crop will
be sown. The plan of sowing sprouted
eeed, so generally in favor, in this state,
will in most cas- be continued The
grower is thus enabled to know ia ad-
vance whether his seed will germinate
before it is placed in the ground and if
his first effort be a failure he has vet
time to secure other seed before it il too
late. Years ago it was quite common
practice ~ sow dry seed very early in
the spring or as soon as the frosts were
out of the soil. The old plan has very
largely given way now to the practice
or sowing sprouted seeds, waiting until
the spring has well started and ground
warm, soeehat a quick rapid growth is
secured. Seed bed can thus be safely
made as late as May fst with reason to
expect under ordinary conditions, that
plants may be large enough to trans
plant at the usual season Growers
have also learned by experience that
lt Is very necessary to protect their
plant beds by canvas coverings, espe-
cially when sprouted seed is sown. TO
protect them from drying winds, then if
the beds are looked after and kept wa
tered during dry time, there seldom
need be any failure to obtain plants
in season for early transplanting in the
west, These matters are so closely
looked after by growers now that
shortage of plants at the proper season
are rare occasions in this state

to ssereen the neglect of one Of some
body's selection, who would treat a
child in school as has been done in this
ease. as proved TO the satisfaction Of the
parents by thorough investigation, il
is about time when parents and child
are branded with falsehood by pre-
sumed investigation TO boldly answer
such publication as an injustice to par.
