100 Acres Of Tobacco.

about 100, against, 80 acres in 1900
There is little, if any, old tobacco in
the growers hands. On account of
the cold weather in May and the heavy
fall of rain the growers are later than
usual in setting their plants. On the
Mortified road, A. b. Davis and S. o.
Davenport, who have from four to five
acres each, have just finished setting
their plants, and many other growers
are well begun. There are no pests
or hindrances thus far to interfere
with the growth of the plants. EX
Senator l.. f. Liscom will set out 20
acres the present season on the hill
overlooking the old Liscom homestead
This is said to be the best land for to-
baccO in the town. Dealers are look
ing more now to color in a tobacco
leaf and the light colored leaves bring
the highest price, and this particular
tract of land seems to produce the tint
desired. o. S. higgins, whose farm
is on Cooper's point near the bank of
the Connecticut, proposes to set out
Is acres, and the other lots will range
all the way from four to eight acres
each. Only four farmers are growing
tobacco at Walpole. Vernon, in 1900,
raised nearly as much tobacco in pro-
portion as Hinsdale, and will do the
same this year. The tobacco grow
ers there are having difficulty in OBJ
tanning plants for setting, and have
sent to Connecticut for a supply.
