JUDGE HARDY GROWS ToBAcco
Circuit Court Judge Grew The Weed
Or cut-Over Pine Lands-Madc
Havana Cigars From the Product
Were Much Enjoyed.

Secretary of Agriculture III. e.
Blakeslee recently had an interesting
interview with Judge Hardy and
gives this information to the public
in the current number of his Bulle
tin:
Judge Hardy is one OF thousands OF
men who have raiesd tobacco in Mis-
sissippi, but the outside world is sell
dom told of the facts. For that rea-
son the follwing is worthy of perusal
Il found your letter of the 18th
inst. ,on my return from Circuit Court
at Leakesville, Green county, asking
me to give you an article for publ
cation on possibilities of tobacco cul-
ture in South Mississippi or more
properly, the pine belt of the State.
can't undertake TO write an arti-
Gle on the subject. but takes pleas
ure in giving you the results of an
experiment made by myself in 1901,
2 and g, on poor piae land near Hat
tiesburg in growing tobacco from the
seed imported from Havana.
Il had about an eighth of an acre
planted in Irish potatoes, which |
dug about the Goth Of April and i'm
mediately set the ground in tobacco
plants.
The land had been fertiiized with
cotton seed meal for the potatoes,
with little stable manure and pine
straw added The tobacco grew off
beautifully, was cultivated thorough
iy and finer tobacco | never saw
in Virginia or Kentucky.
when it ripened, | cut it and
hung it in a house, well ventilated
and cured it in the shade When it
was thoroughly cured, / had the to-
bacco stripped from the stalks, tied
into bands and closely packed into
a large bin or box, covered with gun
ny sacks, nailed up the box where it
was allowed to remain for six
months. When opened it was Of
beautiful color and possessed a rich
aroma. l then had it made into
cigars that would readily have sold
at from $50 to SIS per thousand.
These cigars possessed a distinctive
Cuban or Havana flavor mean the
flavor of the best Havana cigars.
"The two succeeding years l plant
ed seed from the preceding years
crop on different tracts of land, al
though the third crop in my opinion,
was not so richly Favored.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that the greater portion of our cut
over pine lands can be converted in
to as fine tobacco farms as could be
found anywhere. About the time
my tobacco began to ripen l carried
a gentleman to ees it who was raised
upon a large tobacco plantation in
Virginia, and he frankly stated that
he "had never seen fiGer tobacco
grow in the Old Dominion. God bless
her.'
Il have smoked Havana cigars,
made at Pinehurst, near Hattiesburg,
for six years, and have smoked few
as good cigars before or since"

THE ECLIPSE MARINE MOTOR.

We assume that you are going to
purchase marine motor, and we
further assume that you wish to buy
a reliable motor; one that can be
depended upon under all conditions.
There are three kinds of motors on
the market-the good, the bad and
the indifferent ones-the latter pre-
dominates.
The Eclipse Special isn't one of
the bad kind, neither does It be-
long to the Indifferent class. It is a
good motor-good in every sense of
the word. 1t is most suitable mo-
tor for the family boat, because you
can bank on it to go when you want
it to go; it is a most suitable motor
for speed and semi-speed boats be-
cause it was designed especially to
meet the requirements demanded for
this particular class of boats.
The material that goes into the
construction of the Eclipse Special
Is the very best that the market at
fords; finished in our own factory,
where our skilled mechanics have ct
their disposal every mechanical facili.
ty for turning out accurate work,
good through and through.
The Eclipse Marine Motor runs bet.
ter than any other.
1t is foolish extravaganza to buy
an engine just because it is cheap
A cheap marine motor is the dearest
thing in the long run to get.
An Eclipse in your boat will make
| motoring pleasure and it will be
something you will take pride in.
The Eclipse is the lightest running
most noiseless and efficient of marin
motors.
When you go to buy a motor keep
In mind this one thing-buy the
best. This is why you want an
Eclipse and no other. G. & r. Camp.
