TOBACCO and Its
Culture
By W. s. BAILEY, Gauley, KY

The minds of the tobacco grow.
ers to never crowd your tobacco
In your barns; that is do not
try to put too much In one barn.
to do so you will sure have q
lot Of damaged tobacco, which
will cut the general average of
your crop down considerably.
When your barn Is filled. the
next important factor is good ven.
tilation. / believe this is about
the most essential part Of q good
quality, high priced tobacco
crops. A barn full of tobacco
has got to have plenty of good
air to cure right. You can make
q row of ventilators in your barn
roof, also you can have good ven.
tilatien around the sides and
ends Of your Darn by taking a
boxing board or two together
and hang them with a pair OF
small strap hinges. then open
these up every morning and close
them at night. On rainy days
leave them closed and If 1t should
rain, say, five or six days on q
straight you should get some
heaters, place them in the barn
about the center and use char
coal or coke. If you can't get
these use coal or wood. This

above method of ventilation and
drying if necessary until it is
thorouhly cured up, then close
your barn until you are ready to
take it down to bulk for strip
ping. The tobacco barn should
be kept very clean. Do now al
low any loose leaves Of tobacco,
straw or trash to remain In the
barn under your tobacco as this
will have q tendency to injure
the quality of the tobacco. All
manure should be hauled out on
some thin places on the farm be-
fore the tobacco is housed. This
will be a great help to your next
years crop and your tobacco
will cure much better. Dnring
the curing season, after q rain,
when the tobacco Is IN case, YOU
should go through your tobacco
barn occasionally and examine it
and remove all fallen sticks.
plants, o. leaves that might have
dropped and lodged on the tobac-

injurious to your crop If not re-

out. do not bulk it too dry, or too
high in case. Bulk it down in
case, always floor place to bulk

up on the running board. Once
she jumped upon hearse and tried
