Wild Tobacco of Colorado.
the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
Prof Fritz Knorr of the Colorado --gri-
cultural College has found tobacco growing
wild in greatest profusion in the Monte
yuma valley Of Colorado.
Prof Knorr is a native of Kentucky and
knows tobacco culture all the way from
planting the seed to breaking the necks of
the big green worms. While attending the
farmers institute at CorteZ, in the Monte
yuma valley, Prof. Knorr was asked to sug-
gest a method for eradicating a very trou-
blesome weed He took a sample of the weed
to examine and was amazed to see In It a
very fine speciment of wild tobacco 1t
seems that none Of the farmers there was
familiar with the tobacco plant and did not
recognize the obnoxious weed as the an
cestor of the cigars they were smoking.
II is believed that tobacco was raised
extensively in the Montezuma valley ages
ago by the cliff jewellers, the lost race that
left 20 many evidences of their civilization
and yet not a line of their history. The Wild
tobacco plant hourishes there in greatest
profusion in vicinities thought to have been
cultivated by the mysterious race and along
what Is believed to have been once their
irrigation bitches.
