MaySville'S Tobacco Industry

Too much cannot be said of the
Loose Leaf Tobacco Market Of Mays
vile and it's wonderful benefits to
the city and the tobacco growers Of
this section. The loose leaf market
here was only established within the
last year, and is therefore in its in.
fancy, yet Notwithstanding this fact it
has handled about six million pounds
of loose leaf tobacco from the farmers
and tobacco growers of this com
munity, at avery nominal cost to them,
and by reason Of having the competi-
ton of all the principal manufacturers
in the United States, and many of
the smaller factories represented
through brokers', it has afforded them
a market equal to any in the world,
and giving general satisfaction to all
farmers and planters, as an average
on this market for the year of fourteen
cents . pound was maintained.
Among other advantages enjoyed by
the farmer is the fact that he can sell
as little, or as much, of his crop as
his judgment dictates, as it matters
not to the buyer whether the amount
is small or not; the farmer having
an opportunity to view the market can
decide what quantities and what grades
he cares to sell at that particular
time.
Maysville is in an Admirable location,
and in a tobacco yielding section that
will produce thirty-five million pounds
of tobacco annually, and affords an
excellent opportunity for the erection
of additional and similar warehouses
to those now here.
The major part of the warehouses
here were built with local capital and
as few of them were constructed six
years ago for the American Tobacco
Company's rehandling department, and
the same people have aided in the cree.
ton of other warehouses since then,
it is very conclusive proof of the
the local people have in
the present and future tobacco industry
in Maysville.
While the keenest competition exists |
between the various warehouses here, !
and each is looking for its share of the |
business, yet it is a healthy. harm |
ionious competition, and all, without
exception, are working not only for
their individual business, but as well !
for the good of the tobacco market
and the advantages of Maysville.
Among the leading additions to the
obaccO industry. from a manufacture
ing standpoint, is the location here in

INCUBATION FOR LEeUMEs.

Considering the value which attaches
to the growing of legumes as a means
of restoring soil fertility much prac-
teal interest will attach TO circular No.
60 issued by the bureau Of plant indus
try at Washington under the title
Methods of Legume incubation" In
this brief pamphlet are discussed the
two methods which are at present fol-
lowed in soil incubation preparatory
to the growing of leguminous crops.
There is pointed out the fact-conclu-
sively demonstrated in this and foreign
countries-that each species of legume
may be inoculated more successfully
| by using the bacteria isolated from
that species than those isolated from
some other species. The two methods
of incubation are by transfer Of soil
from an established field Of the legume
which one intends TO grow and by the
use of pure nitrogen fixing cultures.
| In the former case from 200 TO 800
pounds Of soil from n healthy old field
of the same crop or Il thrifty new field
are mixed with several times its weight
of ordinary soil and the mixture drilled
or broadcasted on the land to be SOW
ed TO the legume. If broadcasted the
, field should be narrowed Immediately,
and, if possible. this should be done to-
ward evening or on a cloudy day, as
sunshine is very harmful to the bac
terra. In the second case a bottle o.
the pure culture of the proper kind o1
bacteria is opened shortly before the
seed is TO be planted and mixed with
the proper quantity Of water and this
applied TO the seed in such way that
all of it will be moistened, though not
! soaked. Drying of the seed may be
fastened by adding sufficient dry, sift-
ed earth. Attempts TO inoculate soil
/ by either of the above methods may
not be successful if climatic or other
! conditions are not suited to the growth
of the crop in a given locality. How
ever, the department of agriculture is
anxious to aid in this work of intro
ducing the growth of the legumes in
new sections and will furnish the pure
cultures free in reasonable quantities,
requiring only the filing in Of blank
reports, which are forwarded for the
! purpose from time to time.
