NEW TOBACCO METHOD.

Winston-Salem, n. CA complete
revolution in the method of handling
leaf tobacco from the time It is gath
cred from the field until it Is ready
for the market has been made re-
Gently In Piedmont, n. c., one of the
largest tobacco growing sections, to
meet the increasing demand for bright
tobacco used in the manufacture of
cigarets. The new method saves la
Dor, time and fuel.
For many years, the growers IN this
district have bent their energies to-
ward raising heavy tobacco regardless
Of the quality, since practically all of
the tobacco grown was used in the
manufacture of chewing tobacco. They
would allow the tobacco to mature
in the field and when it began totturn
yellow would commence gathering It,
cutting the whole stock and stripping
the leaves after curing by heat.
Under the new method, the leaves
are stripped from the stalk in the field
according to the degree OF ripeness.
The tobacco is topped in the field so
each stalk will have an average of

PUT RIYER INDER GR0INn.

London.-The opening of a large
new aerdrome at Hanworth Park. near
London. marks the completion of an
engineering work which involved the
DETECTION underground for a distance
or nearly a mile, of the Wolsey river.
The stream intersected the field Sc
lected for the main landing ground of
the aerodrome and impeded the land
ing OF aircraft there. To remove this
defect the engineers constructed a
conduit, capable of carrying $1,000 900
gallons Of water daily, into which the
stream has now been diverted, and its
bed leveled to give an unbroken fiat
surface for the aerodrome. The size
Of the conduit was such that before
the river was diverted fifty soldiers
marched upright through the uader-
ground way.
