If eight or twelve leaves are to be .left the top leaves will grow at right angles to the lower pair 5 if ten are to remain the top pair will be di rectly over the bottom -ones. Upon land of good "futility it tases usually from six to eight weeks from the time of setting for the plant to be come lai go enough to top. , If possi ble the plant shoul. jiever be per mitted to blossom, but the operation of topping should be performed just as soon as ten or twelve leaves can be left on the stalk abova the height of six inches from the ground. Those between that point and , the ground may either be primed off as is usual in the heavy tobacco district, or they may be suffered to remain as the planter may be -an advocate for priming or not priming. Care should be taken in pinching out the bud not to Injure the leaves immediately below. Upon the removal of the ter minal bud the top leave, though very diminutive, are forced into a rapid growth. " Some farmers top to twelve, fourteen and even sixteen leaves. On very strong, rich soil the rule among tthe beet , and most suc cessful cultivators is to' top the first plants f twelve leaves, thus delay Ing maturity so they , may ripen at the same time with the second top ping which is done as toon as a suf ficient number ol plants are large enough, at tea leaves. The toppings are continued at ten leaves until late ia j uly or early in August, when only eight leaves are left, the object being to hasten maturity in order that the plants may all ripen as nearly as possible at the same time, and before the ad vent of frost.," , , Some of the moat observant and intelligent planters in the heavy to-bacco-gaowing districts believe that a larger number of pounds and a better quality my bo produced by al lowing only eight leaves to a plant than any other- number; in other words, that the maximum of quantity and quality is reached by leaving only eight leaves to the stalk. The whole vitality ot the plant being thrown into a fewer number of leaves they grow larger and longer, ripen simultaneously, are of uniform size, and are much heavier and rider. The expeVlments which' I have made in -this particular deposes me to agree with this latter class. . An ex periment was made in the Clarkea villo district to lest the difference be tween .topping to eight leaves and topping to a higher number. The land selected was a highland basin, id which the soil is a dark brown loam, with a few nodules of chert in termingled. The same soil is fer rogloous clay, nnctious and highly retentive tof moisture, though well drained by the nndcrlyiog beds of chert. . The land had been cultivated for half a century, though , well pre served, two lots of four acres each were selected, both receiving tha same liberal applications of stable manure. Number one was. set out three and a half feet each way. In the latter pert of May, wsi well cul tivated and the tobacco topped to eight leaves. Number two was plant ed and worked in precisely the same way, but was topped to ten, and a few plants to twelve leaves. The crop on number one ripened first, but was permitted to stand fully two weeks after it was apparently ready for the knifa. It was not cut, how ever, until the tobacco on number two was well ripened. Roth pieces were homed about the same time. Hot fires were employed, In curing both crops, and both were treated in all respects alike. The tobacco on number one made a long, rich, dark wrapper, very oily and est attic, fully thirty inches in length, and very heavy. That grown on number two was lighter in color and poorer in quality, being great deficient in cum. body, and elasticity. - A pro mincntNew York dealer called al the Lara after both lots had been stripped and packed down, and offer ed between 45 and SO per cent, mora for the nroJttct of lot number one thanjor that of lot number two.

Candor demands the additional -remark that black wrappers ..were at the time in great demand and scarce, and the price fur that particular type may have been inflated.- Still, the fact of the greater weight of the lot topped to eight leaves over that topped to ten and twelve remains. After the plant Is topped it makes vigorous efforts to reproduce its kind by throwing out branches or "suckers' from the axils of the upper leaves. These branches or suckers are pull ed off before making a growth or more than two or three inches and should not be permitted to remain longer than , absolute necessity re quires. These branches appear in succession, first at -the. top of the plant, then leaf by leaf at the axils of each, until the final effort of the plant is made by throwing out one or more branches at the base of the stalk. Two sets of suckers come out at the axils of each leaf and they should be promptly' -and faithfully removed. If- permitted to grow the leaves will be dwarfted and the plant will resemble a minature thicket; the suckers meanwhile drawing all the sap to themselves and impoverishing the leaves., ; Under these circum stances the latter begin to spot, grow ing thinner and lets valuable as the tuckers increase in lent Ouca a week certainly, and oftener if possible, and the suckers should be removed, otherwise the vitality f the plant is expended, not in expanding and thickening the leaves, but ia sustain ing a second growth not only value less itself but robbing the first growth of its best and most desirable quali ties. - " r, '" '.: ., : :.
