ADVISES PLANTING
Of MORE TOBACCO
Worlds Growing Area Shortened by
War and Good Prices
Prevail.

In all the years that are passed,
since the Journal came into existence,
says the Winston Salem Southern To-
bacco Journal. we have warned to-
bacco farmers against overcropptng
themselves. We have always taken
the position that tobacco farmers
should plant all the tobacco ley
could well care for after they have
given careful attention TO their other
crops, Our position has been that
farmers who grow tobacco should first
make their own home supplies, and
then what tobacco they could care for
We do not recede from that position
now. 1t Is a safe and sound propo-
sition. But tobacco is a fine money
crop, when produced under favorable
conditions. II is a wise tobacco
grower who will make an intelligent
study OF conditions and guide him.
self accordingly. If there is danger
Of heavy planting in the face of a
large crop and extensive holdings
then he should govern himself accord
lngly, Now. SO far as we can learn.
there cannot be anything like an alb
normal crop planted this year on ac-
count of the lack of plants in many
sections The crop that has just been
sold was not an extra large one. The
production in nearly all parts OF the
tobacco growing world has been cur
tailed for various causes. Tobacco is
at present in demand at good prices.
and there is but little for sale.
In View of these facts. we can arrive
at no other conclusion than that prices
will be good next year. II not why
not? Now we would advise all to-
bacco growers in the South to make
every effort possible to plant at least
an average crop. We know there il
a scarcity OF plants. but we urge upon
planters to make an extra effort to
get them. IL possible. Now and then
a farmer has more plants than he
can use. He will without a doubt
divide with his neighbore, II moth
ing else will get them, a little money
will.
The tobacco weed lie peculiar
thing. Some OF the best tobacco we
have ever seen was planted late in the
season. OF necessity great deal of
the crop will be planted q little late
in the season this year. but we urge
tobacco farmers not to let this deter
than from making . strong effort 70

TELLS HOW TO INSURE

Blacksburg, Va. May 27.--C w.

Institute. has this 20 say about the
Importance of clean milk and how to
insure having IT;
Some people think that II is an
easy matter 10 produce clean milk, but
II Is not There are innumerable
points in handling cows that must be
watched daily II clean milk is to be
produced. and a few of the most i'm
portant will be mentioned here.
Three of the greatest sources of con-
tamination are the COW. the person
and the pail.
Probably more dirt gets into mill
from the body OF the cow than from
any other source. Therefore she
must be kept clean, Dirty yards and
Improperly kept stables are the places
from which cows get most of the dirt
and dust, and for this reason clean
yards, clean sta bles. manure removal

addition to these precautions, brushing

dirty. Brushing Is good thing for
COW or horse at any time, as II makes
them healthier. quieter and more con-
tented. Then. too. the udder needs
brushing and wiping with a damp
cloth Just before milking. but if it
has become muddy. II should be wash
ed thoroughly and wiped with a clean
cloth.

next source of dirt in milk. There

most foods, because milk is one of
the very best mediums for the devei-

1t should be handled with great care,
The mixers hands should be clean
and dry. Dipping the fingers into the

them wet Ia an abominab,e and filthy
practice. Owing to the fact that dust
