Benetits Tobacco Growers.


In the Connecticut Valley the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has classified all
the tobacco lands, studying the infu-
ence Of the soil on the character Of the
tobacco. In addition to this the cause
of the fermentation Of the cigar leaf
tobacco has been worked out, and an
improved method of fermenting the
Connecticut tobacco has been intro
duced, which it is believed will revolu-
tioniZe the practice in that State. This
method gives a much more uniform
product, and thus improves the value
Quired to ferment the tobacco about
eight months, and so reduces the in
surance and the loss of interest on the
money invested. It is estimated that
the value of this work will amount to
at least 100000 per annum to the
farmers of the Connecticut Valley. The
Investigations are being carried still
further in order to see whether the
quality of the tobacco can be further
improved There is reason to believe
it can be.
In addition to these practical results,
Improvements have been made in the
methods Of soil investigation, both in
the laboratory and in the field. Some
very important, problems connected
with the physical and chemical consti-
tuition Of solids are being worked out,
which give promise of being Of great
ya1I1n in economic Inns
