[ PRESSING WORK FOR TOBACCO GROWERS. Don't Plant Until a Good Seed"Bid Has Been Made --How To Prepare Land and Set Out Plants. Tilts principal task n > v before the tobacco growers :s tli* prep aration of their land. This paper bas publish d too many, articles upon good pr.-p iration j lor ahy one not. to know the i.n pDrtance >f this work. Indeed it is half of the cultivation of, any crop, especially tobacco. Get the soil in good working condition before the plants are set and many hours of hard ( work in the h«>t sun will be, saved. If the soil is once ( thoroughly pulverized, it will | remain so during th;> whole j season and you will find I that all extra time spent in pre- j paring the land will not only be a great saving of labor in cul- j tivation but will also help to i obtain a good stand at the first! plan tin:'. The first thing to bo donej towards preparing land for to-1 bacco is to clear th? field of all I stumps, roots, and other things: that make the soil rough and hard to cultivate. Another reason for doing this is, it will help you get rid of the flea-bugs that are so troublesome while the plant is young. Grass will always grow aroun 1 an old stump or rock pile. In these bunches of! grass the llea-bugs make their | home and breeding place, there- j fore the object in clearing a field is not only to aid in cultivation and preparation but also to rid yours.df of tha pests that cause the tobacco growers so much trouble and worry. It is now too late to break to-1 bacc i land very deep. I believe \ in deep plowing even for tobac co provided it is done in time. After April the first no tobacco land should be broken to a depth exceeding ten inches. Plow the land close so as to break any sod that it may contain. If the field to planted in tobacco was seeded in rye last year, now is the time to turn it under. When turned under at this time it will decay and tho sod crumble by the time you are ready to com plete the preparation. When rye is turned unler, it is always better to follow the plow with a cutaway harrow. You will find that this implement breaks up the s)d better than either replowing with a single plow or harrowing with a plain disk harrow, and should neither of these be used, some implement should be used to pulverize the soil. Follow a second cultivation by running a spike tooth harrow over the land to give it the finish ing touch. Tobacco land should be in just as good condition as that used for seeding grass. A great many people are very particular about preparing the land for grass, yet they neglect the field for tobacco. The soil should be thoroughly pulverized as far possible, free from all stumps, roots and rocks. The tobacco plant is just as delicate as grass seed and will not thrive on a rough pieca of land. Another reason for thorough preparation is the fact that this land will absorb moisture instead of hold ing it on the surface. It is the surface water that drowns out the tobacco plant. Next comes the laying-off of the rows, and particular pains must be taken in this work. sin6e it will have a very decided effect upon the crop. If you get the rows too wide, your tobacco will not cure bright; if the rows are not properly drained they will not catch the rain water and either drown out the plant by holding it or wash gullies in the land by turning it straight down the hills. The rows should be laid off with a single shovel pbw with a four or six inch hoe upon same; 1 1-2 to three .„.v —luff " feet apart depending upon the the fertility of the land; not over three inches deep; and ran i so as to catch the surface water and allow it gradually to des cend to some drainage system, fn these rows drill your fertilizer.' A great time and labor saver is a regular fertilizer drill, which can be drawn by one horse and I operated by one man and has a large hopper holding 100 pounds or more of fertilizer. This will also help to regulate the dVn unt of fertilizer put down and from that standpoint, it appeals to me as being economy over hand sowing. I have found from experience as well well as from observation that 00 per cent of the tobacco growers in the bright bolt are not using fertilizer enough. I fully realize their object, a leaf that is light in weignt and bright in color. Light fertilization does not always lead to this end. Many times have I been into the warehouses and seen piles of j small green leaves known as i green tips. The cause of this | was lack of fertilizer under the (tobacco. Use a higher grade : fertilizer and put down enough l of it to give the top leaves an opportunity to get their full growth. No definite formula can be given for fertilization on account of the great number of varieties of both tobacco and soil. A.s an average, I would advise the use of from 000 to 830 pounds of high-grade tobac :co fertilizer, analyzing 8-3-3. I I consider this a safe quantity I fur bright tobacco. Of course, ■on very rich land it might be aevisable to cut the quantity I down, or where an exceeding | light leaf is desired, j There are two methods of j covering the fertilizer, the first■ by throwing up what is called j "a list", meaning throwing one furrow from each side |of the row. I can see very little different between the two. Where only two furrows are used some labor is saved and the, plants are set nearer the fertiliz er, which really makes this i method a better than "bedding." The final preparation comes in making the hills. This is rather a peculiar name fur the work since instead of pulling the soil up into hill, the "bed" or "list" should be cut down several inches ! in order to set the plants near the fertilizer and thereby giving Jan earlier start in growth. The distance at which these hills ; should be made will depend upon the distance of the rows, the I amount of fertilization, and the | grade of tobacco desired. If the land has been heavily, fertilized the hills should be made close together, about 2 1-2 feet, with the light fertilization, set the hills ! from three to 3 1-2 feet apart. — I R. R. SLATE, in The Progress ive Farm. Forcing Tobacco Plants. Perhaps there are some farmers who may get ready to plant their tobacco before the pi ints are large enough to set out. If so, they can very easily remedy this by forcing the plants with nitrate of soda. This should be applied when the plants are perfectly dry. If necessary give two applications, allowing about one week's time between the two. Judging from what I have seen and heard, however, Ido ! think that much nitrate of soda ■ will be used this year. The farmers of this section report unusally well grown plants and in some cases there is danger cf the plants becoming overgrow n before planting time. R. R. SLATE. Farm For Sale. I have decided to sell my farm of 128 acres, good land, splendid buildings, tobacco barns and outhouses. Will take $2,300. See me at once. 16apr4t C. O. BAKER, Meadows, N. C., Route 1.
