County Commissioner Day of Bart
lett writes that a gentleman of that
place has raised some tobacco four feet
high, and some samples will be among
the county's exhibit at St. Louis.
The writer has seen the tobacco crops
tef the tobacco belt of Virginia and
Kentucky, and tobacco grown there
which is ''crotch high is considered
the very best, and these growths are
exceedingly rare. Nor will the
quality be impaired by the large size,
as much of the Havana used in
the eastern manufactures is nothing
more than the largest specimens of
{ American grown plants. The larger
the plants the better the quality,
while small plants form ''cabbage
