For the past few days the farmers of
Suffield have been getting their tobacco
beds ready for the seed. while many
more have their seed already sprout-
ing in the pans ready to be sown in
the beds this week. There is still a
difference of opinion among the grow
ers in regard to the time and method
of making the beds. Some assert that
the seed should be sown as early as
possible, while others say the plants
should only be in the beds six weeks,
and that as 1t is unwise to transplant
the weed before May 10. there is no
need to hurry about the bed. Most
of the larger growers sowed the seed
lin their tobacco beds on Saturday.
