SECRET OF TOBACCO
CULTURE REVEALED BY
NORTH CAROLINA MAN
Mockville, N. c.,
June 3, 1926.

rockville, N. c.,
June 3, 1926.
Dear Mr.. Editor
Doubtless many of the readers OF
your paper are tobacco growers ana
will appreciate a letter on tobacco
culture. The information that snail
offer here comes from my fathers
store of experience.
Father began growing tobacco
more than 70 years ago, and was
quite a tobacconist. He early found
that there are better times than 9TH
ers for harvesting tobacco in order
for it to cure nicely and be rich ana
"waxy." To tell in advance when
these better dates come in season
was a puzzle, but, after many years
study on this point, father was tnai-
ly successful in unraveling 1t.
For some reason, however, father
kept this information secret from
everybody, even his own family, un-
til la short time before his death,
when he called sister and myself to
him and explained it fully to US.
I desire to pass this information on
to the tobacco growers. In explana-
ton, let me state that tobacco has an
oily substance which is its natural
possession. 1t also has a sap (water)
which comes and goes, at intervals,
during the life of the plant. When
the sap "rises" it runs the oil out
through the pores of the leaf to the
surface where it forms gum" well
known to all tobacco growers. Oil
and water do not mix, and oil being
the lighter is forced out as explained,
and tobacco harvested in this condi--
ton will cure badly and be light and
"chaffy."
But. harvest tobacco when fullest
of oil and the sap "down," it will
cure easily and nicely and will be
rich, heavy and good. The oil can
not evaporate in the process of cur
ing, like the sap does, and remains to
give wealth to the tobacco.
shall be glad to answer any cor
respondence from tobacco growers,
provided postage is sent for reply.
Yours truly,
W. H. DAVIS.

the first yields of the season are be-

water melon season. It's season
that is highly endorsed by Epicu-
reans( Chicagoans, BostOnese, GOur-
NETS, and even in Georgia's anti
water melon eating movement would
have short life.
Last year Georgia supplied one
third of the water melons consumed
in this country, according to govern
ment statistics. July is the real wa
ter melon month, but South Georgia
and Florida usually begin shipping
in June.
Georgia this year used $4,000
acres for water melon production, an
increase of 25 per cent over last year.
Last season big crop of fine quality
combined with a fair price, netted
large financial returns and melon
growers this year hope for another
good season.

FORD AGAINST POWER
COMBINE MUSCLE SHOALS

USE OF THIS GREAT Gov
ERNMENTAL PROPERTY. PEO-

OF.

Detroit, Mich.-The powers COM
bined" which five years ago cried
"scrap Muscle Shoals" has changed
it's cry to exploit it, declares Henry
Ford in an editorial in the June S
issue of the Dearborn Independent.
Mr.. Ford bitterly assails those who
have held up development of the
Musclc Shoals project on the Tennes-
see river, declaring "a series Of VIC
tories by tn epower combine over
agriculture and the national defense
constitutes the history to date of that
great government war and peace en-
terprise."
The editorial asserts that Muscle
Shoals was planted by Congress in
the geographical heart of civilization
to supply munitions of defense in
time of war and fertilizer fox farms
in time of peace. The power COM
bine, it continues, "has been success
full until now in defeating both these
objectives of Congress" a
Behind the cries of "scrap it" and
exploit it" is the determination of
the power combine to keep the
economies of Muscle Shoals away
from the people," declares the Ford
article.
''It has long been accepted by
those at Washington who stand for
national defense and the production
of fertilizer at Muscle Shoals that
no offer except one ''as good or bet
ter than the Ford offer should be
considered" it AYERS. THE Ford of
fer was based on the principle of the
