which was produced in Southern Mary
land and has been blended into these
cigarettes for its high percentage of
combustible constituents.
Substitute Lacking
AS there still has not been found any
worthwhile substitute for Maryland to-
bacco, and just as long as the manufac-
turers can get this thin, fluffy, light
leaf with fair color, with the texture
being far more important than the color,
a large volume of it is going to continue
to be used. Tobacco manufacture
ers do not want to be forced to change
their blend formulas after they have
been perfected, unless compelled to do
SO BY unforeseen circumstances.
So, Southern Maryland after 900
years has grown a plant which greatly
reduced the effects of the depression on
its farmers, and yet continues to con-
tribute to the world at large tobacco
that can not be supplanted anywhere else
regardless of all who seek substitute.

Tobacco Still Pays
After 800 Years
BY GEORGE MORGAN KNIGHT, Jr.

HOR more than 300 years in St.
II Mays County - the Mother
a County of Maryland tobacco has
been the real money crop. With the
rest of the world demanding that its
cigarettes, chewing and smoking tobacco
be Maryland grown and cured, farmers
here have been trying to meet the de-
mand for their product that can only
be grown successfully on the soil, and
in the climate of St. Mary's, Charles,
Prince Georges and Calvert Counties,
in the Oldest tobacco section of the
United States. The Indians 900 years
ago showed and taught the Maryland
settlers who landed and established this
state first at st. Mary's City, to grow
the weed.
This crop is estimated to bring to
Southern Maryland nearly $o,ooo,oo
\ in good years, and in bad years such as
the past depression the weed has been sold
for nearly $6,ooo,ooo. One reason sales
have fallen off is that France, who was
one of the largest buyers of the Mary
land common tobacco, has been trying
to grow it in her own colonies and al
flnost stopped importing our common
grades of tobaccos that some of the
farmers have been growing here. The
next largest buyers of Maryland to-
bacco are the Netherlands and Switzer-
land. England imports tobaccos from
Virginia and the Carolinas.
Growing An Art
THE growing of tobacco is practical
ly an art and takes nearly lifetime to
learn, as the crop has to be worked about

SON, county agent of St. Mays County.
so far, there has been no machinery
made to handle tobacco after it has
been put in the barn which takes just
as much care and work then as when
1t has been planted and is growing in
the fields"
St. Mary's County farmers, who
grow tobacco, begin to make their beds
just as soon after the first of January
as possible. The crop takes about 10
months to grow and market. The to-
bacco beds once planted out in the
woods, after the soil has been sterilized
as much as possible, have to be watched
with great care to keep out such plant
diseases as wild fire, and downy mil
dew; and as safe precaution must be
sprayed once the plants have come up
from tested and cleaned seed, or busted
at least once each week from about the
time the plants are about the size of a

From May 20 to June 20 the plants
are set out in the field in rows about
two feet ten by "A inches and thorough
ly cultivated to keep grass out, until
the plant shades the land, at which time
no cultivation is required The plants
at this stage must be kept free from
horn worms which infest the crop. The
tobacco plants are topped three weeks
before harvest time. 1t only takes the
plants from 90 to 80 days. to ripen.
Once the leaves have turned the de-
sired color the tobacco is cut or spearcd
on especially sharp sticks for this pur-
pose, about four to four and half feet
in length. 1t is then hung in barn and
allowed to cure by air and sun light.
| hen it is carefully stripped by hand
and sorted in about four different
grades.
Shipped to Baltimore
After the tobacco has been properly
graded with expert care as to color, and
quality, it is bulked down until prop
erly seasoned and put iii hogshcads or
casks, which weigh from GOO to 1000
pounds and shipped to Baltimore mar
kets to be sold to the various buyers
representing the largest tobacco manu-
facturers in the world. The tobacco is
shipped by motor truck. Years ago, it
went to the nearest wharf and was sent
by steamboat to Baltimore
The tobacco stems left after the leaves
have been stripped off are used for fertil-
izer and put out on the land for the next
seasons crop.
Tests have shown that it is impos-
sible to grow Southern Maryland to,
bacco in any other part of the state and
nation due to the peculiar natural curing
season which seems only in existence to
this climate.
Southern Maryland and St. Mary's
County tobacco is air cured instead of
fire cured, which latter practice would
immediately change the texture of the
weed. Eighteen and one-tenth of cent
is the average price obtained here per
pound for tobacco.
St. Mary's County tobacco has the

light, silky, smooth texture and burn
ing qualities that other tobacco lacks,
and that is why it is SO much in de-
mand to be used as blend with other
tobaccoS.
Thomas Parran, of Prince Frederick,
Calvert County, and president of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton, declares that if the farmers would
cooperate and ship their tobacco crop to
the Maryland Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation; take instructions from us as to
the quantity of tobacco and the quality
that should be grown in Southern Mary
land, there would be no surplus or COM
mon tobacco put on the Baltimore mar
ket.
This is caused" he asserts, "by
crowding tobacco in the barns, planting
tobacco on land unsuited to it and not
growing the fine leaf which is demanded
by the buyers today. If only the farm
ers would follow these instructions they
would have gold mine crop which all
the world now demands!
60 Per Cent Cooperate
The Maryland Tobacco Growers As
ISOLATION consists of approximately 90
per cent of the growers i'll Southern
Maryland. This organization, extremely
active, was organized in 1918. Due to
the farmers who send their tobacco to
the commission men, staple price is
most difficult for the association to
maintain always, and they also, due to
this fact are forced to meet the compe-
tition of the commission men who offer
tobacco to the tobacco manufacturer buy
ers at most tempting prices. Yet, in the
long run, the farmers, statistics show,
who send their crop to the association
to sell for them may secure better prices
than those who sell directly to the COM
mission men. The association receives
only about SO per cent OF the tobacco
grown in all of the five Southern Mary
