TOBACCO RAISING
Reasons Why it Should be Profitable
Enterprise Here.

Mr.. Edwards, whose proposition TO
the Board of Trade to aid him in
practical experiment of growing tobac-
co in this valley on a commercial scale
was printed in The Republican a short
time ago, is in the city and was seen
yesterday respecting the enterprise.
Asked for some details regarding the
proba bilities for success. Mr.. Edwards
SAID:
81 have just received a sample of
imported Turkish tobacco from New
York city. This grade is worth $1.OO
per pound. the duty is 80 cents per
pound. The lowest grade of this to
bacco. trashy leaves, is worth so cents
per pound. the highest grade $500 per
pound. My experiments in raising to-
hacco in the arid country from Turkish
tobacco seed show that 1t can BE- raised
here successfully and of larger size
and superior quality. The trouble In
raising a fine quality Of cigarette AMI
smoking tobacco in Virginia and the
Carolinas is too much rain. Tobacco
is a dry weather plant, requiring very
| little moisture. Too much water wash
es the gum from the leaf. which gives
| it its fine aroma. and causes the plant
to grow rank and coarse.
"In my opinion. this is the ideal coun-
try for raising the finest grades Of
| bright leaf and fine cigar tobacco. The
Turkish tobacco has a natural tenden-
cy to a bright yellow color. orange to
lemon. BY withdrawing the water the
plants will turn a beautiful yellow in
the fields. When placed in sheds it viii
necessarily cure up q bright yellow in
color. Curing and setting the color by
flues and other artificial means, as l.
done in the fine tobacco states of the
east viii be unnecessary. The dry all
Is all that will be required.
