When Sir Walter Raleigh and John
Smith and those other dear old fell

and moro years ago, growing and
smoking Il weed that was called or
afterwards named tobacco, they found
them indulg!ng only in the bright
sparkling leaf Tho heavy brown and
black tobaccoS came about later on.
There is ample evidence that Raleigh
and smith and the other old dodgers
found at first only the bright stuff. and
they found il in the Tidewater section
of Virginia, for in the early days OF
the discovery of tobacco only tine Tide
water section had been xplored. Just
how the Underwater people went off on
the cultivation of the heavy dark and
very black tobaccoS and just how the
growing OF the bright or yellow lear
got to be popular in the up country
and unpopular in the sea coast regions
and came to be confined to what is now
known AS the bright belt" taking In
a few counties in Southern Virginia and
Northern Carolina, no one knows. In
the last fifteen years Eastern North
Carolina has caught on to the bright
leaf culture. and in these days OF
cigarettes and light smoking, that
region has been doing 4 great bust

and yellow leaf. whilo the Tidcwater
