MISSISSIPPI TRYING TO
PRODUCE BRIGHT TOBACCO
Farmers Wcaricd with Boil weevil
with Tough Luck

Some of the farmers or Eastern
Mississippi. wearying of the fight they
have to make every year against the
boil weevil that plays the wild with
their cotton. have been experimenting
with the cultivation of bright tobacco.
The results for this year have not
been bee. very encouraging; as a special
that, lack Of familiarity with tho
weed gave the growers vast deal OF
trouble. At the same time it is de-
clared that the leaf grown by the
Mississippians was pronounced by
North Carolina experts to be OF ex-
cellent quality.
1t is further stated that the Miss
issippi tobacco is OF very fine cigar
cite grade. and has been pronounced
the equal Of the best grown in Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas. About $780,
100000 pounds were grown in Lauder
dale. Clarke and Wayne Counties this
year.
The prices for much of the tobacco.
says the report. were not satisfactory
because the growers did not know
how to harvest and handle 1t. How.
ever. they are to be instructed another
year by. the county agents and some
imported talent from North Carolina
and increased tobacco acreage is cx-
pected next year in the counties
named.
