RAISES FINE TosAcco HERE

On a lot containing. three-fourts of
one acre of ground, Mr.. Hiram Knight
of this city this year raised 1,200 lbs
of very fine Tennessee Red Tobacco,
which he sold last week for 21 cents
per pound. He did all of the culti-
waiting himself, and this tobacco was
produced without any expense what
ever. Mr.. Knight says that the en-
tire time spent by him in worming
the tobacco did not exceed six hours.
A profit of $252. on three-fourths of
an acre of tobacco is pretty good.
Mr.. Knight, who is 81 years old, also
raised 10 acres of exceptionally fine
corn, doing all of the work himself
Samples of the tobacco were sent
to number of tobacco factories and
dealers in Tennessee and Kentucky
for inspection and in each instance
the report came back that the sam
Piles were as fine quality of Tennes-
see Red Tobacco as the writer had
ever examined. Putnam county is
we'll adapted to tobacco culture if our
farmers would only go at it.
