PERIQUE SECRET
TOLDBY GROWERS
Mississippians Soak 1t in
Own Fermented Juice,
Initiating Indians.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, La, August 28.-
Perique is in the barrel now.
Perique is the worlds mystery
tobacco" No one seems to know ex-
actly the cause Of its strange grow
Ing habits.
The black tobacco is used in mix
lures to give special richness Of
favor. Mostly 1t is used for pipe
blends, but some cigarettes have
touches of 1t.
Right now the perique in the bar
sels up the Mississippi River at st.
James Parish smells like a wet foot
ball
The men who raise it and tend it
through a nine-month curing period
have a chance now to sit on their
porches and talk, mostly in French.
Many are descendants of the Acadians,
driven from Nova Scotia by the Brit
ish. In what is now St. James Parish
they found Chickasaw and Choctaw
Indians growing tobacco and curing
1t with hodge e-podge of poles, trees,
boxes and stones. They initiated the
Indians.
Today they still initiate the Indians,
although screwlacks and good barrels
have supplanted the poles, stones and
boxes for turning the tobacco black
by soaking in its own fermenting
juice
One OF the mysteries connected
with the tobacco is that If the perique
seed is planted In Kentucky within
four years the tobacco will be exactly
like the Kentucky product, while Ken
tucky seed planted in the Grand Point
section Of ST. James Parish will grow
perique.
The secret may be in the special
quality OF the alluvial soil in St.
James Parish, or in the method of
curing, or In the climate, or in all
