Some weeks since we men
toned the beautiful tobacco plants
raised by Mr.. B. F. House. the
old Confederate soldier, who also
is such a booster of the great ad-
vantages of the soil of Iberia Par
ish. On Thursday afternoon it
was our pleasure to sample some
of the tobacco raised by Mr..
House and we must confess it
smokes even better than the
Perieque we hear so much of
raised on the coast. Mr.. House
has given samples to many Of our
citizens to show just what can be
done here in tobacco culture and
ere long tobacco planting will be-
come quite common here.
