Grow BurIey.

Tobacco is one of the money producing
crops of this state and while more of
it is grown in Kentucky than any other
Commonwealth, yet the bulk of the crop
is produced in few of the central
counties. For several years but little
has been grown in Adair, and even last
year, while the crop when marketed
will bring in the neighborhood of $500,
600 as figured by those in position to
fairly well estimate. yet large part of
the county is not interested in it..
Some of the best hurley that reached
the Louisville market was grown in this
county last year and the sections and
farmers who put their time in its
making are highly prosperous. While
so many pounds can not be produced on
an acre in this county as in some other
sections. yet the difference in quality
more than cOmpensates and when the
market has been reached the producers
of this county are as well paid as in
any part of the state. Only the West
and Northwest parts of the county
seems to be interested in this crop
while the rest of the county is equally
well adapted. If the farmers through
out the county would set just what
they could handle to advantage after
giving sufficient time to other crops
great showing would be made in the
crop receipts. Burley can not be pro-
duced every where but it grows to per-
lection in this county and at present
prices is highly profitable. Why walt,
why fear a lowering of prices when
every thing indicates advances. 1t is
now time to SOW the seeds and if you
have not made your mind but little time
remains for delay if you plant crop.
