profit on their investment, how to be

But the marvellous salary they pay
to this woman instructor, and that

merely to swell the minimum, to
make it little less ridiculous than it
really is. -
Working women have nothing to
do with the value placed upon their
services by employers. 1t is a ques-
ton of supply and demand, and every
time an employer lowers his mini
mum wage it means that that many
more girls are going to be forced out
of each family.
But the women who have the time
to be cured by training Of what the
doctor calls "congenital unftness,"
enter the professional world and re-
ceive compensation beyond our
widest dreams.
There are women dentists with
practices that bring them five thou
sand dollars a year. There are wo-
men doctors in a similar situation.
There are women artists and
sculptors, lawyers and orators, and
they are the women who have time
to specialize, to cure themselves of
'congenital unftness," but they are
not working for that minimum wage
which you want, girls, and no
amount of foolish talk by empty
headed professors of economics can
combat the simple statement that
out of your so-ca1led unfitness your
employers are accommodating millions.

BOWMAN NOT STRlKEBREA<ER:
UNION MAN IN GOOD STANDING

T ONlSIN WAN iiN WV 81 FfNOiNO
The Day Book made one mistake
in its story Of the inquest held over
the body of Robert S. Hay, who was
run over and killed by,a Tribune auto
truck driven by John Bowman last
Saturday night.
The statement was made toward
the end of the story that Bowman
went to work for The Tribune last
June, and therefore must have been
a strikebreaker.
Business Agent Spencer of the
Newspaper Drivers Union informed
The Day Book that Bowman worked
for The Tribune for years before the
strike of the drivers; that at the time
the strike was called Bowman went
out with his brother union men; that
Bowman at the present time is a
member of the union in good stand
ing, and is regarded as a good union
man.
The Day Book is glad to know that
Bowman is not and never was a
strikebreaker, and is a good union
man, and is equally glad to correct
the mistake made in yesterdays

THE CULTIVATION OF hurley
TOBACCO

In the preparation of tobacco lands, the break
ing, first blowing should be deep in order to
loosen the subsoil and prepare it reservoir
for storing moisture to be drawn upon by the
crop during dry seasons. Just prior to trans
planting, the surface soil should be put in finely
pulverized condition by discing and dragging.
If the land is of such character that fertzing is
required, it is profitable to good grade of
complete fertilizer, running especially high
in phosphorc acid and potash, and apply in guam
titles of from 200 to 400 pounds per acre. To-
bacco being a crop that brings large returns per
acre, any amount of fertilizer needed may be
applied prohtably. The fertilizers give best re-
suits when applied broadcast and mixed thor
oughy with the surface soil in preparing the top
dressing for transplanting. 1t is bad practice
to apply fertilizers for tobacco only in the hills
rows. The roots will become clustered about
the fertilizer and when the supply of plant food
suddenly becomes exhausted the root system of
the plants have not sufficiently established them
selves in the soil and hence the plant is stunted
for a time in its development. In cultivating the
crop, only shallow cultivation is required, though
it should be frequent in order to keep down other
vegetation and conserve the moisture that is in
the SOIL

low tobacco county, we find that the Burley soil
contains seven times much organic matter
twice as much alumina ten times as much mag
nesia, three and one-haf times as much manga
nese, nearly seven times as much phosphoric acid
six times much suphurc acid, and tenth
more potash While the yellow tobacco soil
contains nearly twice much soda and approx
imately 20 percent more sand
The topography of the White Burley district
is diversified, and much broken. Nearly every
member of the lower Siluran formation is ex-
posed at places in the district Civ
ing considerable variation in the composition of
the SOIL but it is all made fertile by the presence
of carbonate and phosphate of lime. The soils
IN every part of the district very durable, and
when apparently exhausted WILL if abandoned for
time be we'll supplied with fresh plant food,
by the disintegration of the soft limestone and
shaly beds that underlie them. On account of
the unevenness of the surface, and also the clean
cultural methods required in the production Of
tobacco, the land soon becomes unproductve.
Contrary to the belief of many the cause does
not lie in the amount of fertilizing materials
tracted from the soil by the crop, but in the
rapidity with which the soil is carried from the
hillsides to the valleys by washing, if the land
is left bare through the winter season. The rem
and alfalfa, to bind the soil and keep up the
ganic matter. Tobacco land should be seeded
to rye or wheat for winter crop
the tobacco has been harvested.
The greater number of Burley tobacco growers
prefer freshly opened land where the original
tree growth white oak, walnut or beech,
upon slope with southern eastern exposure.
Such lands produce tobacco of the finest quality.
Tobacco that is thin, silky, elastic, ustrous and
bright in color. However, old lands that have
been kept in blue grass sod for several years
produce tobacco heavier in body, richer in gum
my matter and much preferred for manufacture
ing plug.
Although much depends upon the quality of
the soil, and climatic conditions, it is also essen
tial that careful and intelligent methods of pro-
ducton and subsequent handling of the crop be
employed to obtain the best results In view Of
the rapidly increasing demand for quality tobac
co of the Burley variety, and considering the
high price it commands when placed on the mar
ket it behooves the grower to put forth his
best efforts to improve this crop.

TOPPING TOBACCO

When the seed buds appear in a majority of the
plants the topping should be done. This opera
ton requires much discrimination on the part of
the grower. He must be able to Judge the capa-
bilities of each individual plant so that they will
all produce leaves of equal body, ripen at the
time, and uniformly. The higher
plant is topped, the slower it natures and vice
versa. few years back, it was the custom to
top Burley at fourteen to sixteen leaves. Higher
topping does not materially increase the yield,
but produces thinner leaves and leaves that will
brighter in color.
In selecting seed for the following crop good
number of choice plants should be temporarily
reserved from which further selection is made by
discarding the most unsuitable plants until the
desired number remains. Just before the flowers
begin opening, twelve pound paper bag should
be placed the seed head to prevent cross
pollenizing with other plants Any flowers that
open or any pods that have formed at the
time of the bagging should be plucked out, as
they have already had opportunity to become
crossed.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1913-11-04
HARVESTING

1t is quite essential that tobacco be allowed
to ripen before it is harvested, in order that it
will cure we'll. The appearance of light tinted
fecks upon the surface of the leaf brittleness of
the stems, and the bursting of the stalk the
knife passes through it, all indications of ripe
ness. Care should be taken to prevent injury to
the leaves such brusing allowing them to
become sunburnt for when a leaf is thus injured,
it can never be properly cured. If the curing
barn is constructed with good system of vent-
ation it is not necessary to expose tobacco on
the stick in the field for several days after it has
been harvested in order to give it an opportunity
to partially cure before it is put in the barn.
