STOKES SUP PLY CO. A Correction. ! Messrs Editors • Will you please correct in the Reporter, several in the typog -1 raphy in my article in last issue i of the Reporter, which made me say what 1 did not say. First, it should have "conversation" instead of "conservation" Sec ond, it should have for "Mr. Roosevelt," instead of not for { "Mr. Roosevelt." Third, it should be "I am not certain 1 know tbe gentleman." instead of "1 am certain I know . the gentleman." Fourth, it ! should be "one man power," in stead of "man power." It should be "intemperament," in stead of|in the "temperament." |lt should be "accord." instead I of "according." F. E. PETREE. ! ------ We have no leader. Boyles Mercantile Co. From Mr. Dauiel V. Davis. Mocksville Route Aug Editor Reporter: Forty-seven years ago I began the work of growing tobacco. After a few years 1 decided, or , rather discovered, that there were certain days better than j others lor cutting tobacco in order to have oil and for it to be waxy and heavy. To explain 1 will say tha\ tobacco has a sap just as a tree and tobacco also has at intervals an oily substance which is its natural possession. When the sap (water) rises in tobacco it pushes the oil out through the pores of the leaves, on the principle that oil and water won't mix, and tobacco if cut in this state will be "chaff" and light when cured. But if tobacco is cut when it is full of . the oil will cure up nicely, and | have a heavy Ixtdy, or as we say |be "oily and waxy." Farmers have experienced cutting tobac co one week and do well with it, and then cut again the next • week and off the same piece of ground have altogether different luck. A friend told me of your paper, Mr. Editor, and I write this foi publication. If any of the farm ers will write and send a stami for reply, I will be glad to write to them. j DANIEL V. DAVIS.
