FOUR Weed Farmer Shi Experiment * Some Seasons We Speak Of 1 Tobacco As The Golden ' Weed?Other Seasons It May Not Be Thusly Pictured J j CARDWELL OFFERS FARMER ADVICE i Both Landlord And Tenant > Are Responsible For Bad ' Practices In Making ! The Tobacco Crop J (BY GUY A. CARDWELL) ' Agricultural and Industrial Agent Atlantic Coast Line Rrailroad Co. ( 1 In some seasons we speak of , tobacco as the "golden weed"? { then we are on top of the world, t We have money for a new auto- c mobile or at least a used car, an s ample supply of gasoline and oil, t a pair of shoes and silk stock- f ings for the hard-working wife i c or daughter, and for other luxur* 1 ?A/?Ardir?<y fr> les ailU iieccaaiLico, avvvi??'g, ? . ones desires and needs. At other times the growing of tobacco is u pictured as a pauperizing, crime- o producing practice, foisted on p poor ignorant people by hard- f' boiled, money-grabbing landlords. S In my opinion both of these pictures are exaggerated.

In a sense, however, both the tenant and the landlord are at fault in permitting the continuance of a bad system and unwise practices. The tenant should think of the future and should tone down his desires for things that he cannot I ifford; and the landlord should j see that the tenant is encourag;d to support the tobacco crop vith supplementary secondary :rops, so that he may be enab- j led to hold on to a larger part )f each tobacco dollar paid him J j tor his labor. ', Both landlord and tenant are j jointly responsible for bad farm | )radices employed in making the obacco crop, and they should I ach have interest in the other e lufficient to inspire them to do heir best to bring about a satis- t actory accomplishment so far as . an be controlled by them. The following suggestions made j y E. Y. Floyd, Tobacco Special- t it, h7i/rth Carolina State College f Agr.culture, are based on ex- t eriments.
