THE TOBACCO CROP
Agricultural Department Exper.
iments IN Virginia


The Agricultural Department,
has been experimenting 10 Apo
mattox county, Virginia, in .he
growing of tobacco, with q view
to increasing the outpus per acre
The results are startling to un
progressive farmers who are ETH
pursuing on WORKOUT lands the
methods OF grest-grandfsthers
who had virgin soil to work upon
The Departments expert found
that the Virginia tobacco growers
plowed deep, planted in hills three
feet apart and used $40 worth OF
fertilizer per acre, with IN average
net profit per acre of 50. 1t is be-
lieved that deep blowing is wrong
and that different character and
quantity Of fertilizer would pro.
duce better results.
The Department, accordingly,
secured five acres of ground and di.
vided them into three plots, the first
of one acre and the other two Of two
acres each. The first plot OF one
acre was plowed deep and ferti-
lizered in the manner customary
on the neighboring farms, $40 be-
ing spent for fertilizer and $40 for
labor. The gross receipts were
$45.50, or $3.50 net per acre.
Plot No. 2 was plowed less deeply
and received a large proportion OF
ammonia, and $l8 worth OF ferti-
lizer, while the labor put on it cost
$44, making the total out-go $50.
The first plot produced but 673
pounds Of sailed tobacco, worth
as stated, but $45. so, whereas the
second with better treatment pro-
duced 883 pounds FER ac-e, worth
$8l 90, making the net profit $2l
90. The third plot received still
more ammonia, $32 worth of ferti-
lizer and $50 orth of labor; total.
$82. But the produce was 1850
pounds OF sailed tobacco per acre,
which sold for $l1l.29, making
the net profit per acre 500 20, or
nearly six times the per acre profit
got in the customary way of plow-
ing, fertilizing and working. The
additional fertilizer and labor put
on plots Noe. 2 and 8 evidently in
creased the margin of profit great
", the crop paying very hand
somely for the additional capital
and attention bestowed upon it.
The Departments expert is
probably within the mark in lay.
ing that il the Virginia farmer,
will accept his scheme, "tuey will
all die rich and prosperous.
In various parts of Virginia and
North Carolina tobacco-gr growing
had been studied and improved by
enterprising planters with con-
spicious success before the Agri-
cultural Department at Washing
t1n took the subject up. Their
and advice were avail
able for the use Of their neighbors,
but advanced ideas travel slowly
under private auspices. Want of
capital has hitherto been an ire
obstacle to their adoption
On the partof large majority OF
the negroes and poor whites who
raise on small patches the tobacco
crop of the South. The cuslo-
mary average investment per
acre, as noted above, is but $40
Tor fertilizer and $50 for labor, or
$40 in all.

In the Preparations For
Peace In the ORR
ent.
FORMAL REPLIES SENT.
Place of Meeting Not Yet
Definitely Decided But
May Be the Hague.

Washington, June President
Roosevelt has received Russia's for
NAL response to the identical note
sent to the belligerent nations. 1t is
in consonance with the oral assur-
ances heretofore given by Count
Cassini, the Russian Ambassador.
The time and place of a meeting be-
tween representatives of the two
governments remain to be decided
upon. Paris is said to have been
suggested by Russia, while Japan
has expressed a preference for Lon
don. 1t is not believed, however,
that either of these places will be
selected and The Hague is being con-
sidered as a desirable place for the
conference.
Direct communication between st.
Petersburg and Toxic has not yet
been established. The White House
is yet the medium for all commune
cations between the two capitals.
Important details remain to be
agreed upon before the plenipoten-
tiaries of the belligerents can meet
to discuss thesmeans of ending the
war.
There is adequate authority for
the statement that there is no actual
hitch in the preliminary negotiations.
Progress is being made, but it may
be several days, or even longer, be-
fore all details for the meeting can
be definitely fixed.
