nature there you ever saw. There
were present from 500 to 700 people.
MY own estimate places the number
at ESQ. The receipts amounted 10 be-
tween s55 and 500. This shows the
way the people win stand by the band.

"DOn'ts" for Tobacco Growers.

Ion grow more than you can take
care OF. One acre OF well-handIed
tobacco will bring you more none,
than two acres Of "hogged tobacco. .
Don't starve your tobacco; give IL
plenty to feed on and feed il on the
right kind of food. The extra weight
yielded will more than pay the dif-
ference.
Don't put all your fertilizer on bread
cast before setting out your tobacco
crop; save one-thira Of 1t to put on
/ at the second hoeing, and cultivate
it in. This will carry the crop to a
finish OF cutting time.
Don't hang your poorest tobacco
in the peak Of your shed. Put your
best tobacco up high and hang the
poorest ON bottom tiers. The cure
in the two Of shed is safer and bet
ter.
Don't neglect the care when tobac-
co is In the shed. After growing a
good crop there is no sense in letting

Don't take down your tobacco until

tenths Of the trouble between buyer
and grower. Most OF the canker and
mold damage are caused by water.
and buyers have good cause 70 re-
ject or dock the price on watGed
crops.
Don't take down tobacco that is
dripping from frozen stalks. Let it
drip out and dry off and wait until
next damp. in order to avoid the dam
age and mold caused by drip.
Don't strip and pack into your
bundles wet tobacco, rather hang in
up again to dry off and strip It next

Don't strip the trash and weather
