TOBACCO CULTURE.
Successful Experiments In Raising
Sumatra Tobacco in Connecticut.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The follow
ing notice was posted Tuesday by the
secretary of agriculture:
Milton Whitney, chief of division of
soils, reports successful termination
of experiments conducted in co-opera-
ton with the Connecticut experiment
station In the production of Sumatra
tobacco near Hartford. One-third of
an acre was planted under a cheese
cloth shade nine feet high and culti-
waited and fermented under the direc-
ton Of M. L. Flowd, tobacco expert
Of the department. The yield. of cured
tobacco was 700 pounds, making an
estimated yield for one acre of 2,100
pounds. This lost about 10 per cent
in the fermentation. The crop has
just been sold by l.. B. Haas & Co., of
Hartford, to Mitchell Son & Hubbard,
of Kansas City, for $47370, making an
estimated value for one acre of ST.
421.
The cost of production, including the
whole cost Of the shade-the frame for
which will last five years-will not ex-
coed $500 per acre, leaving net profit
of over 5000 per acre.
This was an average price of II
cents per pound. The crop grown In
the same field, without shade and fer
mented in the same way, yielded about
the same quantity and brought 81
cents per pound, or at the rate of
S507.S7 per acre. Deducting the cost
of cultivation, fertilization and treat
ing, this would leave profit of about
$500 per acre.
The ordinary cropt of the Connect
cut valley brings the farmer about 20
cents per pound, or $500 per acre, and,
deducting the cost of expe nses, leaves
profit Of about $3.50 per acre. The
has been submitted to New York and
Philadelphia business men and has
been pronounced entirely satisfactory
and fully equal to imported Sumatra.
These facts-taken in connection with
the award at the Paris exposition of
two points for the Florida grown
Sumatra over that given for the i'm
ported Sumatra-show that we can
grow Sumatra tobacco of the highest
quality in this country and save our
farmers between S6,000,000 and ST.,
100000 which is now sent abroad an
nually for the foreign grown leaf. This
work is the result OF the soil survey
made in the Connecticut valley two
years ago, and similar results can be
expected only from very similar areas
where the soils and climatic conditions
are similar to those in the Connecticut
valley and in Florida.

SUES HIS SON.
Charges False Imprisonment and As.
sault and Battery.

Niles, Mich, Dec. 24.-Michael Ken.
nedy, of Howard township, Cass coun.
ty, has brought suit against his son
Richard for $4,000. The allegations
made by the plaintiff are of sensa-
tional character. Among other things
the plaintiff alleges false imprison-
ment and assault and battery.
1t seems that the present suit is the
outcome of a recent decision of the
state supreme court, in the case of the
Harper hospital, Detroit, which held
that the fund for maintaining the in
stitution could not be taken for the
payment of personal damages. Nearly
a year ago, the elder Kennedy brought
suit against st. Joseph's retreat
Wayne county, in the sum of $4,000
alleging the same causes for com
plant. In view of the recent decision
of the state supreme court, however,
this case has been dropped, and now
the plaintiff demands satisfaction
from his son, whom he alleges was in
strumental in placing him in the re-
treat.
Mr.. Kennedy, ST., will, 1t is said,
exhibit in evidence to prove the JUS
tice of his claim, broken and crippled
hand, broken leg, also a voice much
impaired by choking, as he claims,
These injuries, he alleges, to have

The reasons for this alleged treatment
are alleged to have been a desire on
the part if the son to obtain some of
