FINE TOBACCO IN TEXAS.
A Superior Grade, Eqaal to the Fa-
nous yuelta Abajo, Is Pro-
duced in Eastern Texas.

The United States department of
agriculture has decided to make the lit
tie town of Nacogdoches, in east Texas,
the biggest tobacco experimental sta
ton in the world, and it is announced
that on August 1 plant for the curing,
baling and warehousing of all tobaccos
grown at experimental stations in the
south will be opened there, with ex-
perts of the department of agriculture
in charge.
This decision is the outcome of eX-
periments and tests which have been
going on in east Texas for the last year
and half Coupled with the announce
ment of heopening of the Nacogdoches
curing station is the statement that the
government tests have demonstrated
that tobacco grown in the soil of east
Texas is the equal if not superior
of the celebrated and costly tobacco
grown in the Vuelta Abajo district Of
Pinar del Rio, Cuba, known as the fin
est tobacco in the world.
Nacogdoches is near the Louisiana
line, and about 100 miles north of
Beaumont. Here the experiments have
been conducted by l.. H. Shelter, the
expert of the department of agricul-
ture of filler tobacco He declares that
the aromatic quality of Texas leaf is as
pronounced as the other chief charac-
teristics of the plant, all Of which are
singularly like the high type of Cuban
leaf found in Pinar del Rio.
The Texas plant bears a striking re-
not heavy or vigorous, rank or over
grawn plant, but short coupled, and
ranging from ten to fourteen leaves to
the stalk. 1t is of medium size, and
has the fuzzy, velvety appearance of the
Cuban type.
The remarkable soil of east Texas
has long been suspected of harboring
treasures of a kind most unusual, and
more than year ago members of the
United States soil survey were sent
there to examine and report. Their re-
port was such that DR.. Milton Whitney,
chief of the bureau of soils and tobac-
co plants, by direction of Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, detailed Mr. Smell
fer and his assistants to go to east
Texas and make careful and practical

AND he GOT IT.
But 1t Proved to De Something He
Didn't Care to Hold
Very LOHg.

An indulgent mother of the Tuxedo col
ony was travelling on local tram one day
in company with her three-yearold son,
his nursemaid, and a copy of a society
magazine which absorbed her attention,
relates the New York Times. The son
was occupying the seat behind her with
his attendant, who attempted every once
in awhile to curb his restless and rebel
hous spirit by gentle denial of his lat
est whln, but each time the mother, no
ticing only that some argument was in
progress, and without looking up from
her book, would remark: Let HIM have
it.
The nursemaid ~thereupon would yield
to this double demand.
Finally strong and rather venomous
looking wasp flew against the window
pane, and the youthful hunter reached out
to grasp it, and walled dejectedly when
he was once more restrained by the watch
ful caretaker Again the fond mother,
without raising her eyes, exclaimed:
oh, do let him have it,"
And the howl which followed the
nurses compliance caused an amused
smile to pass around the car.
