TOBACCO BOOM IN TEXAS.
Uncle Sam Takes a Hand in Making
the Industry Profitable in the
Lone Star State.

WaShingtOn.-The department of
agriculture is carrying on investiga-
tions in tobacco growing that promise
big returns. Small areas are being
grown in various parts of the country,
particularly Connecticut, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Virginia and Texas
One five-acre plat in Virginia has
been made particularly valuable as a
demonstration plat. Part of it was
fertilized and planted according to the
prevailing custom Of the country.
This yielded net profit of $3.50 an
acre. On another acre. by better cul-
ture and fertilizing, the net profit was
$29.29, or nearly six times as great as
| by the old method
high-class tobacco soil in section
| where no tobacco had ever been grown.
Citizens of the community laughed at
the idea of growing, the crop there. A
few acres were planted by the depart
ment and tobacco Of such a high grade
| produced that the net profit amount
ed to nearly $50 an acre. Land own.
ers took notice at once, and will grow
tobacco in the future. .'
| 1t is believed that Ohio will plant
more than 700 acres of tobacco this year
Two years ago a ten-acre tobacco farm
was bought in the Miami valley. dis
trict. It was planted with Cuban seed
The crop brought 35 cents a pound, 2o1
20. cents more than the kind usually
: grown in that section -5.>. .,.a :
