Cultivation of Tobacco - Farmers
Are Interested.

Very little has been said about the
tobacco booth during the Pythian Car

not only an expert on The cultivation
and curing of tobacco but also in its

The booth was erected through the
good Offices of the chamber OF COM
merce committee which was appointed
to interest our farmers In the; planting
of tobacco and to organize company to
erect a tobacco warehouse and stem
merry in Wilmington in order to en-
courage this industry in New Hanover

has done good work during the carni-
val. He has talked to ut least 500 peo-
pie about the methods of planting owl
tivating and curing tobacco, and Sc
cured the names of 156 farmers who
were specially interested. In the booth
was a miniature tobacco barn, fiues
and all, and Professor Dodd talked in
| formally about the cultivation of to-
bacco and showed the farmers how tc
| build their barns so as to get the best
results.
| Professor Dodd left for home yester-
| day. He says the 156 famers whose
address he has told him they intended
| to plant tobacco next season. and that
if they do it will mean crop OF COZ. .00'
| to $500, 900 pounds for the Wilmington
market. All farmers manifested deeI
concern in the work of Professor Dodd
and they examined with interest ths
samples of leaf tobacco he had on ex
