HuW 10 Grow Tobacco.

Among other interesting Information
>p cal on Tuesday was the following:
They impressed upon their hearers the
necessity Of choosing heavy seed in plant
lng tota Co, and, with the aid Of seed
separator, demonstrated how 81 nple it is
80 separate the light from the heavy seed
The separator consists of receptacle
for the seed at the base of a long glass
tube, through which current Of air is
passed by means of "a foot bellows. 1t is
50 constructed that the current of air can
be regulated by stop cock, and snffic
lent amount allowed to pass through to
blow the light seed cut of the top Of the
tube, and allow the heavy seed to fall
back rem lin at the bottom. A de-
scription in detail is given in the year
book of the Department of Agriculture
for 1894, and in bulletin 1913 of the Mary
land Experiment Station.
The separator is easily constr ucted, and
the component parts can be obtained
from any chemical supply house.
The speakers emphasized the fact that
light seed invariably produce small, weak
and undesirable plants, while the heavy
seed will produce uniform and vigorous
crops of tobacco.
The speakers also i'm pressed upon the
tobacco growers the fact that if they wish
to compete successfully with those of
North and South Carolina, Virginia. Tex
as and Kentucky, they would have to
produce grade of tobacco that is bein 9
demanded by the cigar, smoking aud plu z
tobacco markets. At present, Southern
Maryland is growing grade of inferior
tobacco, and new types mast be produced
by -xperimeuters who have time to make
detailed examinations of the various
characteristics of hybrid tob ,cc IS, and
finally by careful selection fix those types
so as to compare favorably with those of
the other Southern States.
According to the speakers. M lryland is
noted for its adaptability of sill, and as
| fine a grade of tobacco eau be grown in
this state as in any place in the country
With illustrated charts the lecturers
showed what had been ,ne in Connect
cut where the soil is not 50 fertile a.
that of Maryland, and where by careful
sell elton Of seed and by crossing the diff
ferent grades of tobacco they have f1aally
reached type that is not surpassed any
where.
Not only did the speakers Impress upon
their auditors the adaptabiity of Mary
land soil for growing tobacco, but corn
wheat, peaches, sweet potat" 5 and othe
commodities can be raised to such an eX
tent that Southern Maryland can be made
into an agriculture paradise.
