w. c. T: Notes

The next convention of the Mis-
sissippi w. c. T. U. will be held at
McComb City. Three unions will
unite their forces for welcoming
and entertaining delegates to the
annual convention next fall.
The National Convention for
1905 will be held away over on the
Pacific Coast, in the city of Los
Angeles, California, and railroad
arrangements for the pilgrim white
ribboners who journey thither, have
already been made by the transport
tation committee.
All travellers and visitors who
wish to go to Los Angeles at that
time will be accorded the same rates
granted to members Of the w. c.
T. u.
The pendulum of the convention
swings far. Last year. it was the
"City of Brotherly Love" and now
it would seem just right. in logic,
if not distance, to visit the "City
of the Angels. "

attic man, ION whether you had to
clear your land first. 1t does not cost
| much to start a tobacco plantation, be-
cause you can grow it the same s any
other crop. 1t does not require as
much labor as cane, so I am told. You
would have to import a thoroughly ex-
perienced and practical tobacco grower
for overseer and give him plenty of
help and let him plant tobacco cut it
and cure it and get it fit for market.
1t would be necessary to build a to-
bacco barn in which to cure it,
How long does it take to cure the
tobacco"
About three to five weeks said the
manufacturer. THE crop itself re-
quires about four months, but they
usually do not take off but one crop a
year, as the raising of tobacco is very
hard on the soil. They could, perhaps,
raise two crops a year.
What amount can be raised per
acre?"
You can raise 1000 to 5000 pounds per
acre replied Mr. Wright. ''but at the
experimental station of the government
they did not try to exceed 900 to 1000
pounds per acre. But they could raise
more-very much more-to the acre
than that
What is the cash value. in your
opinion as a tobacco manufacturer, of

After being cured and fermented."
remarked Mr.. Wright. +and made fit
for market, in my judgment, it IS
worth from 10c to 30c a pound. The
wrappers, if properly cured and color
ed. would be very valuable. The price
LI.,t- I'd
States, without the duty of $1.S5 per
pound specific tax in addition to an
advalorum duty, is from soc to $500 per
pound. That makes Havana wrappers
very valua BILE. There is no duty be-
tween Hawaii and the mainland and
We manufacturers would be very glad
TO get the Hawaiian raised wrapper, it
being perfect Havana wrapper in
every particular. 1t makes a very fine
wrapper and if you have an expert
enced tobacco grower here to cure the
tobacco properly, you can raise a fine
article in the way of wrapper
Does the crop require fertilization
was next asked
NO. The island soil is very rich
and would not need fertilization for
many years. After that it would have
to be fertilized.'
How does the Hawaiian tobacco
compare with the imported Havana
product"
In regard to that said Mr. Wright
the filler has not as fine a flavor as
has the Havana. 1t is a question
whether experienced tobacco grow
ers would not be able to produce
a very similar flavor in time, as you
have the advantage of the tropical
climate
Would there be a market for Ha-
waiian tobacco?"
AS to that" said the Seattle manu-
facturer, the market is very good at
present In fact there is always
good market for good filters and wrap
pers for making cigars. To get Hava-
ma wrappers we have a big duty to pay
and such a grade as Hawaii produces
would sell quickly. The most essen
tiaI thing about a tobacco is the burn
how il burns. All the tobacco I have
tested in Hawaii has an excellent burn.
Its excellent burning qualities show
that the Hawaiian soil is adopted to
growing tobacco and this is a very
essential point
