MAKING PLANT BEDS.
The first and most important step in
producing a crop of tobacco is to have
an abundance of good, strong, stocky
should be Of virgin soil with a slightly
southern exposure, if possible, in order
that the young plants may get the benefit
of the warm rays of the sun in early
spring. This is important to bring them
forward as early as possible. The soil
should be a rich, fertile, black loan.
more heat from the rays of the sun than
does any otner color, and brings forward
the plants several days sooner, which is
much to be desired by the tobacco grower.
off and the leaves and trash removed,
brush and wood should be piled on the
surface in sufficient quantity to burn the
top earth to a reddish tinge or soft
brick color After the bed has cooled.
and without removing the ashes, it should
be coultered or dug up with grubbing
hoes, frequently raked and chopped over
with wedding hoes, until the surface is
thoroughly pulveriZed. All roots should
be removed, as we'll as humps of up
turned clay. When nicely prepared mark
of sowing.
One heaping tablespoonful of seed is
enough to sow ten yards square, or one
hundred square yards. The seed should
ashes or land plaster to facilitate
it's even distribution over the bed. To
more surely insure this even dlStr1bu-
ton, the bed should be sown first
one way and then cross-sown. After
the sowing, tramp or lightly rake the bed
with a fine garden rake and then cover
with canvas. The edges of the canvas
should be tackled to a frame made of
scantlings or poles that should form a
frame around the bed. A few bent
arches made of wire or switches should be
stuck over the bed to hold the canvas
off the surface. A trench dug on the up
per side of the bed is necessary to pro-
tect it from the washings of the surface
water, that is apt to collect the seed in
groups in the low places of the beds.
Beds should be burned as early as pos
sible when the land is sufficiently dry
after the Christmas holidays. Those

March. when suitably prepared, always
do best. Be careful not to use too many
seed. When this is done the plants are
crowded that they grow up with deli
cate, fragile stalks and are unable to
resist the shock of transplanting as well
as stockier plants.
PREPARATION OF SOILS FOR
HEAVY SHIPPING TOBACCO.
A rich, loose well-drained. clayey soil
is best adapted to the growth of heavy
shipping tobacco. Old land that has
grown crop of clover cowpeas the
