the same time it should be sufficiently
porous to drain off the excessive mois-
ture. The depth of the soil varies
from about one to several feet.
Slightly inclined and also uevel lands
are best suited to tobacco. Flat or
bottom" lands will not do at all for
Its growth, as general thing. The
water does not drain off sufficiently,
and this seems to cause disease. The
soil must be one that is naturally
well drained, so as to prevent tobacco
from being drowned out in wet sea-
sons; and must also have enough clay
or vegetable matter in it to retain a
certain amount of moisture. Gener-
ally speaking, tobacco will grow we'll
IN seasons suited to corn. My opin-
ION is that if it is to withstand either
extreme it can stand drought better
than wet seasons, therefore it Is nee.
essary to keep soil porous. Some
farmers, mostly in other state, claim
that tobacco does best on new ground.

Years In the tobacco section of the

The weed grows large, and is of fair
ly good texture, but before it ripens,
it begins to disease" or "frog eye,"
as it is locally called. I have seen
this tried time and again. 1t might
be that there was something wrong
with the land, which If it had been
overcome, might have produced bet
ter tobacco than the old lands; but
as yet the farmers have not found
what this trouble in the soil is, if
there be any, so l think l am right
IN saying that, as rule, old land in

CULTURE OF TOBACCO IN
THE PALTETTO STATE
History.

We learn from old records that to-
bacco was grown in South Carolina in
the days of the old settlers. 1t con-
tinued to be grown to considerable
extent until cotton and indigo were
introduced. 1t then lost it's place as
a money crop. We hear very little
more of tobacco in this state until
1882, when Mr.. Frank Rogers, of
Florence county, planted a small
patch. He made no effort to cure his
crop that year; but, being encouraged
by it's growth, he increased his crop
the next year to five acres. That year
he only made his expenses on his crop.
In 1884 he planted 20 acres, and this

vation of supplies. 1t is formally an
nounced that in the near future bread,
butter, eggs, milk, flour, meat and
forage will be placed under govern
ment control. This step is planned
not because of a shortage, but as
precaution against exploitation. The
only commodity formerly regulated
by ticket was sugar.

1885 he planted 80 acres and his re-
turn amounted tnearly $4,000, or
about $500 per acre. In 1886 the
United States department Of agricul-
ture made an appropriation of $50 to
one planter in every county in the
state to experiment with tobacco, and
also gave a premium of $10O to the
farmer making the greatest success
of it. Mr.. Rogers was the winner of
that premium. The general results
of that year were so poor that the
work was given up by almost every
one. Mr.. Rogers, however, continued
to plant with success, and in 1888
and 1889 others began to join in with
him. And from then until now the
culture of tobacco in South Carolina
has increased very rapidly, as will
be shown by the following census sta
tlstics, for which I am indebted to Mr..
John Hyde, statistician of the United
States department of agriculture:
