THS ECONOMY Of THE MOD-

It «re were to ent'ir into h coparttiiir
i Miip with the tnbacco planter mid a;»r™
| to eultivato the tobsoco and divide tlie
| proceeds equally ; \vo think we would
bu justiiied in .'igriieing U> take fur our
shard of the crop -rhat is now prao'i.-nlly
| wnsi.d by the preseiit i., ide of cnllur,
| and cure as wo see it in Virginia and

oeu detect all the wot'; points iu out
argument.
The rule among planters isj to plant
5,00(1 plants to the acre, they top at
14 leaves and prime off the four bottom
leaves and leaving ton to uiaturo in
each plint , the lopping and prim'ng
usually takes placo the last days m
July after the bottoi;i b uses have o«-
eoniefull s'ln and nearly ripe and a few
da}'* in ire would tender tUeui lit for
curing the;, jlinvo tukin nsail J. I theuub
stiiieuco from the plant thoy 1 ••j.iirc.
lnn..arly all crops two of thfl toil
lenves left to mature ripen prematurely
and ara lost ; leaving the plan'er 5
leaves to linryost, two of the 8 re -
inainiiig leaves aie lu-nketed as trash
lugs ami average the farmer about 7c
per per pound, they brn-ly pnp the price
of handling und currying to market.
Thus wo cee 8 leaves sacrificed to the
practice of curing on the stalk the
planter has C leaves left two of which
arc tips ; throe times out of five they
aro not as good as the primings which
was taken off to promoio tho growth of
tho tips. If tho primings had been left
to mature and cured tho last of July
when they call always bs cured bri.'bt
they make the best smokers that can be
found in Ibe ; in ut.

Next ooiufs the two tr.i«!: lops that j
bmely pay fur handling. If th o are
taken oft' the sulk a»d aud cured ai j
the right time there is no two leaves oti
tho piant superim :o them. If cared
tho last days of August or the first of j
September they make the silkiest wrap,
pers, tho finest long while cutters, and
will average higher prices thin any
other purl of the crop, and we iiovir
iaw a market wh re they were not in
brisk deiiund ; we now liavo S leaves,
1 primings, 1 ihat are practically
wasted in luoat eropa a» they aru man
aged in Virginia aud North Crrolina.
■Ve take these nr. 1 rulut.pi. -h the
remaining or ripev leaves to our part
ner, we will remove them just as they
change from a dark :,'reeu to pale green.
Our partner may oure his part as he
choose# on or off the stalk, be may
wrestle with Jack frost aud with the
autumn atoruir, the worms ar.d the frog
eye, and have tho full benefit of tbe
heavy dews to thicken his leaf : one part
of the crop U housed by the first week
in September and one sea .nn wi'h anoth
er we will have as much money as oui
partner atul have it iu e'.ir poctcl by th
1 irst of November if w« obrtose.
.
| Nnw tbil may be auhsider - i . ..In
j hlr"ng talk, perhaps it is. One half is
a big part of the crop. Think rf it,
i farmers, if any of yoif aro not k lited
with tbe pio'.uro Ut as knew wli rein
jjou dissent. Another very cs l ilia!
[point lies iu the faet that per. c.-'.t.
is added to tlie weight of every I if

any tobacco can bo when oared with

of the scores offariueis who used the
