One radical departure of harvesting
Will be the picking of the leaves hv
hand as they become ripe, instead Of
cutting down the whole plant. Women
usually do this work down country and
are paid by count. No shade grown
tobacco will be attempted this year.
The new corners are among the most
experienced tobacco growers and buyers
in the Connecticut valley and will spare
no expense in tn line of equipment to
obtain successful results. Favorable
weather, however. is :. very important
factor in raising this crop. Late springs
and early autumn frosts are usually
disastrous and hailstorms sometimes
destroy the product Of a whole season s
work.

perienced tobacco man and farmer, has
