Tobacco is grown on a large scale in
Connecticut, but hereabouts but little

and it has been found that cottonseed
gives excellent results. It is an advan-

The New England Tobacco Growers
association appointed committee of
growers and manufacturers and repre-
sentatives of the Connecticut expert
ment station to pick out the best quail
ty field grown in 1914. They did so and
a large quantity of seed was saved. 1t
is understood that some of the seed is
available for Windham county growers
