CHESTERFIELD AND
BRIGHT TOBACCO
Petersburg Has Set South Part
of County a Little
Bit Wild.
CLOVER HILL CLUB TAKESIT UP
Instructive Lectures on the Sub
ject Are the Order of
the Day.

The growing of bright tobacco is
agltating the minds OF many OF the
farmers OF Chesterfield. especially those
living within twenty miles OF Peters
burg. whose Chamber of Commerce has
been busy OF late in sending bright to-
badco demonstrators into the country
to push the culture OF tho bright
leaf Mr. Pugh, the demonstration for
Chesterfield. is doing his utmost TO
interest the farmers, w: j. H. Bailey
Is imbucd with the idea that the grow
ing OF bright tobacco will increase tho
value OF Chesterfield land from SIS to
$40 an acre. Others see ready money In
tt-inorc cash crops" ana so OIL. Hence
Tor one reason or another Il large num-
Der are Interested.
AT this juncturc comes G.. II. Wray.
with u talk before the Glover Hill Club
on bright tobacco Cleaned from the
work OF T.. ii. Mathcwson, the crop
tcchnologis;, of the Federal Depart
tory Of tobacco in Virginia, the soil
best suited TO it's growth, the problems
OF harvesting and curing and prepare
ton Tor markets. Mr.. Mathewson says

which eliminated. the creosotic effect,
and then came. tho use of lues-tirst
built OF flat rocks and latterly of sheet
iron. This simplitied the whole process
and made the production of lighter
colored leaf possible and profitable. In
1903 the new belt, the coastal plain
section of the Carolinas. produced more
bright tobacco than the old belt-Cen-
South Central Virginia. To-day 12o,-
600, 600 pounds is produced In the old
belt. and 95.oOo,o0o pounds in the new
belt. SO much for history and OK
pansion now for tho desirable types of
soil,
The best bright tobacco lands arc
light and sandy. but those in tho new
belt are lighter and more sandy gem
orally than the soil of the old belt
where tho subsoils become more clayoy
as tho mountains are approached. The
deeper sandy soils produce lighter
yellower leaf than wnero tho clay is
the immediate subsoil. Soil adaptation
is very important factor In the pro-
duction of the quality weed. 1t is an
influence of fundamental Importance in
determining tho color OF tho leaf as
well as its fincuess, richness and hard
ness. Chesterfield County has consider
able bright tobacco SOIL light and sandy
to II depth OF six to ten inches, with
sandy -clay subsoil ofra yellow orange
color, Whittier soils will produce a
brighter leaf if the soil Ia too sandy
in tho subsoil 1t Will produce an ex-
IRENE bright tobacco, lacking In body
and richness. 1t is common saying
that. poor land produces the best
bright tobacco" This Is only partially
true; 1t may produce very bright
leaf, but the leaf will be lacking In

Uncle Sam Looking After Them,
and Has Some Sugges-
tons to Offer.
AGRICULTURAL SCHOLARSHIPS
Perhaps They Are Better Prizes
to Youngsters Than Trips
TO Washington.

Washington. d. c., February 2f.-
The Department OF Agriculture recon-
mends that in place of a trip to Wash
ington the young prize winners OF the
corn, canning and poultry and other
agricultural clubs be given q years
course in practical training at some
agricultural college. In case the young
champions academic training would
not enable him to enter the agricul-
tural college of his State. Il moro Gle
mentary course In & school where ngri-
culture is taught or course in an agri
cultural high school are recommended.
The department considers that such
courses have considerably more lasting
value for prize winners and for the
a griculture of their sections than fly
ing trips TO the capital. The State and
local organizations which have been
paying for these trips have been sin
cerely interested in developing n true
appreciation OF farming as a business
among the boy and girl farmers. Some
of these have already considered this
question and have decided on the agri-
cultural course as the more desira BILE
prize.
Sporting OF 1t.
Ono of the iirst persons to raise the
question as to whether tho practical
training or the more spectacular trip
was preferable was Willie i. Brown.
an Arkansas corn CLUB prize winner.
Given his choice OF all the prizes Of
fered by the State, including the trip
to Washington, he selected n scholar
ship giving him years tuition in an
agricultural school. This gave I'M
petus to the idea In Arkansas, and now
the biggest annual prize offered the
corn club boys Is q scholarship given
by the Bankers Association. The same
association gives n similar scholarship
to the girl champion of the canning
clubs.
Other suggestions regarding prizes
have been made from time to time by
those who have been most interested in
these clubs and understand the needs
of the boy and girl farmers. Some of
these suggestions are offered herewith
for the consideration of others who
might care to profit by them.
Two Weeks Courses for Pri1es.
While n years course, with all eSA
penses paid, is the suggestion of the
department for the biggest prize Tor
State winners, less extensive courses
might BIO offered to county winners. 1t
has boon suggested that such counties
as care to give prizes, give one or more
short courses In the State agricultural
and mechanical colleges to the fortu-
nate county champions These courses
