Cure Disease,
Increase Crops
? ? - *~y * #
By* JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN'
VERYRODY knows
that Uncle Sum la a
successful tobacco
grower on a big scale;
in fact, he raises
something like 1,350,
000,000 pounds a year
out of the world's
crop of approximately
4,500,000.000 pounds.
Rut only a compara
tively few know that
Uncle Sam has of late years gained
world-wide fame as a tobacco doctor.
The tobacco production of the Unit
ed States lias been steadily Increas
ing. This Increase In production has
been brought about In the past by an
Increase In the acreage, as new to
bacco sections were discovered and de
veloped. At the same time the per
acre yield did not hold Its own In many
sections. The lntlmnte relation be
tween kind of soil and kind of tobacco
was little understood. , Little was
really known about tobacco diseases
and tobacco pests.
This Is where Uncle Sam cnme ?n
handy as a "tobacco doctor" and
achieved fame.
Nowadays the yield per acre Is In
creasing. More careful adaptation*?
tobacco to soil, discoveries about' to
bacco diseases and new methods of
handling the crop now .seem to Indi
cate that the yearly production can
be Increased, without Increase in the
acreage and with more profit to the
grower.
Uncle Sam, tobacco doctor, has
worked through the Department of Ag
riculture and the experiment stations.
Some of the Investigations and discov
eries are as Interesting as beneficial.
Even the soli men, entomologists,
chemists, plant breeders, pathologists
and bacteriologists who have worked
out the tobacco problems are sur
prised at some of the results. A. re
port prepared by the Department of
Agriculture sets forth some of the In
teresting results of this tobacco doc
toring.
For Instance, everyone used to thlnl:
that the fermentation of tobacco In
the curing process was caused by bac
teria, Just as Is the fermentation of
apple Juice In the manufacture of cider
and vinegar. Hut It was found out
that In the case of tobacco bacteria
had nothing to do with It. The fact
Is that the leaves of tobacco contain
certain chemical compounds known us
enzymes, which, under certain condi
tions of moisture and temperature, pro
duce fermentation. This discovery has
led to great improvements In the cur
ing of the leaf. Now It Is possible by
the use of the thermometer to control
the curing and greatly to Increase
the percentage of high-grade tobacco.
In the northern districts where It was
thought to be necessary to cure to
bacco In cases, It was found that bulk
curing could be carried on Just as It
was In the southern districts. The
adoption of this method has saved the
Investors many millions of dollars.
The marvelous development of the
shade-grown tobacco Industry In the
Connecticut valley Is built upon the
foundation of government Investiga
tion. Formerly this district had pro
duced a domestic-wrapper tobacco, the
best of which sold for around 20 cents
a pound. Wrapper tobacco from Su
matra at the same time sold for $3 a
pound or more. Ry making tests of
the tent method of growing tobacco
It was found that under these cheese
cLoth shades conditions could be pro
duced very favorable to the ^gr owing
! of Sumatra tobacco In Connecticut.
The Seven Sleepers
Seven noble youths of Ephesus, who,
according to an early Christian legend
first related by Gregory of Tours, fled
from the city, 'during a persecution
under the Emperor Declus (240-251 A.
D.), and took refuge In a cave on
Mount Cellon. There tbey were dis
covered by their pursuers, who walled
up the entrance In order to starve
them to death; but, owing to a re
markable Interposition In their bebalf
This meant much , to the cigar-making
Industry. The Sumatra leaf Is large,
very thin and elastic and of a beauti
ful, satiny texture. A pound of it
will cover a thousand cigars. Although
it costs from 10 to 20 times as much
as the domestic wrapper, It Is largely
used by the trade. So the growing of
this crop under cloth' has become the
principal Industry of a large section
of the Connecticut valley.
Another Important discovery Is that
of the steam sterilization of tobacco
beds. Of old the grower sometimes
had great difficulty in growing plants
for transplanting into the field. They
would become diseased In the bed with
resulting large losses. Weeds also
caused much trouble to the young
plants. Now the enterprising tobacco
grower eliminates both of these diffi
culties by going over the bed with a
steam sterilizer, which kills the weed
?eeds and destroys the disease organ
Isms which would attack the young
plants. As a result, the production of
good, healthy, young plants Is now
relatively easy.
If diseases attacked the tobacco
plant only during the early stages <>f
its growth In the bed the tobacco
grower would have an easy time in
deed, but there are many other dis
eases which ravage the plants In the
fields. One of the most destructive of
these la the one known as mosaic,
which puzzled plant pathologists for
a long time. They have now found our
that It is a specific infection, that a
certain definite germ causes the trou
ble. In addition to this, (hey learned
that insects are a factor in carrying
It from plant to plant.
In the South the growers have suf
fered a great deal through losses pro
duced by a wilt which has been named
the Granville tobacco wilt. The De
partment of Agriculture worked out a
rotation system which has greatly re
duced the losses. No cure has yet
been found for the disease, but the
farmer now knows how to keep out
of Its path.
In regions of thin, light soil, tobacco
farmers have long talked about a sup
posed disease which they called "sand
drown." The trouble was not too much
sand, according to recent discovery,
but the lack of magnesia, a fertilizing
element which is not generally recog
nized by farmers as being useful to
plants. Usually enough of this ele
ment occurs In the soil to take care
of the demands of any crop. All the
farmers have to do Is to change the
plant's rations slightly.
Some great advances have been
made In the field of plant breeding.
One particularly Interesting variety of j
tobacco has been developed. It is now 1
they were caused to fall Into a deep
sleep, and were thus miraculously pre
served for nearly two hundred years.
They died soon after awakening, and
their bodies were transferred to Mar
seilles, France, in a stone sarcophagus,
which Is still shown to visitors to the
church of St Victor, In that city. Ac
cording to Gregory, the names of the
"seven sleepers" were Constantine?
Dlonyslus, John, Maxlmlan, Malcbus,
Martlnlan or- Marctan, and Seraplon.
A festival in their honor Is celebrated
In the Roman Catholic church July
ence of the length of day upon the
growth, flowering and fruiting of the
plants. This discovery has attracted
the attention of scientists throughout
the world, and promises to produce
great scientific and practical results.
Tobacco-breeding work has produced
valuable results In other sections. Tn
the burley districts the growers for
| merly discarded their tobacco ground
after one or two years because of the
destructive effect of Mack root rot,
to will hurley tobacco was particu
larly susceptible. Tests on a large
number of plants brought out the fact
that some of them were resistant to
the disease, and now resistant vari
eties make It possible for these tobacco
growers to continue growing burley
tobacco on their fields year after year.
The same principle has been applied
to other varieties In many regions.
Since more than half of the tobacco
produced In this country Is cured with
out artificial heat, bad weather Is a
big factor. Experiments have shown
that a certain amount of heat used
at the critical time will make It pos
sible to cure the tobacco Just as If
the most favorable weather conditions
existed from start to finish. In the
sections where heat Is ordinarily used
for the curing, the flue-cured tobac
co districts, Improvements have been
made In the ventilation of barns which
have greatly Improved the quality of
the tobacco. In preparing cigar to
bacco It Is packed and allowed to fer
ment, and sometimes big losses are
experienced because of too much
moisture In the leaves. The most de
sirable moisture content has been de
termined, and It Is now possible to
avoid much of this loss.
The great increase In the popular
ity of the cigarette, which Is now be
ing produced at the rate of about 60
billions annually In this country aB
compared with 5% billions In 1905.
has resulted in the change in the de
mand for different types of tobacco.
In the Carolinas and Virginia, whero 1
a large part of this tobacco Is pro- j
duced, government experimenters j
found It possible to get a more desir
able leaf for this purpose, not by
changing the type of variety but by j
modification of the harvesting methods. '
Entomologists have found a satis- i
factory method for fighting the horn
worm, a destructive pest to the grow
ing crop. Years ago growers depend
ed upon applications of puis green,
often with the result that the tobacco
was badly burned and the crop a par
tial failure. Arsenate of lead was devel
oped as a substitute, and horse-drawn
dusting machines have been developed.
A rough estimate Is that this one dis
covery saves the tobacco growers a
million dollars a year.
As to the pictures: No. 1 shows a
crop of Maryland Mammoth yielding
a ton an acre; the average yield In
Maryland Is less than 800 pounds.
No. 2 shows the outfit used In steriliz
ing tobacco seed beds. No. 3 gives

plants on thfe lower stick are from a

same soil.

and teaqh all nations." ? Matt. 21:19. |
PRIMARY TOPIC ? Telling Everyone
About Jesus.
JUNIOR TOPIC? Our Marching Or
ders.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC? Working Together With Christ. I
I YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
I ?World-Wide Witnessing for Christ.
I. Sent by Christ (John 17:18).
Christ was sent into the world to
save It Just as He was sent, so He
sends us. Just as He was obedient
j to the Father's command, so we should
| be to His command. That this might
be possible Christ set apart himself,
and that the disciples might be fit for
this work they are to be sanctified
through the truth of God's Word.
That which fits the one called to rep
resent Christ is the knowledge of |
Cod's holy Word.
II. The Great Commission (Matt.
28:16-20).
At an appointed meeting place in
Galilee on a mountain side, Jesus ap
peared before the disciples and gave
this great commission.
1. His Claim of Authority (v. 18).
: He does not claim to be merely the
King of the Jews, but King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. He stands clothed
with the authority and power of the
universe. Before there will be any
great concern about evangelizing the
world there must be an understanding
?f the power and might of Jesus Christ
as Lord. The Lord must and shall be
obeyed.
I 2. The Obligation Imposed (vv. 19,
SO). They are to make disciples of
all nations. The obligation of the
Christian Is not merely to preach the
gospel to the Jews, bnt to all the na
tions. Those who accept Christ as
Savior and Lord are to be baptized
In the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost. By this means they open
ly acknowledge their allegiance to ,
Jesus Christ as their divine Lord. To
secure public avowal of loyalty to
Christ is important. It strengthens
the character of the confessor. They ;
are also to be Instructed to render I
obedience to all the commandments
and requirements of the divine Lord.
| 3. The Divine Presence Promised
! (v. 20). To assure the disciples of the
success of their undertaking, Jesus
guarantees His presence at ail times
and under all circumstances. That
which gives courage and encourage
, ment to the missionary today is the
' assurance of the unfailing promise of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
III. The Missionary Program (Acts (
1:6-8).
It is essential that the missionary
program be understood. The work
Incumbent upon the church Is to wit
ness of Christ's gracious salvation to
all the nations. After this is done
there will follow the preaching of the
gospel of the kingdom by converted
Israelites. This was not clear to the
disciples, therefore they put the que* 1
tlon, "Wilt thou at this time restore
the kingdom of Israel?" They were
right in thinking that the kingdom
will be restored. The Davidic king
dom shall be established, but not till
alter the gospel of the grace of God i
is preached and the body of Christ Is i
completed. Its realization Is* certain, !
buf the time is unknown. Times and
seasons are in the hands of God. The
program which the disciples are to
carry out is this present time is wit*
nessing for Christ.
L In Jerusalem (?. 8). This was
done by the Twelve immediately fol
lowing Pentecost
2. In Judea and Samaria (v. 8).
This was done by the disciples after
the hinds of the persecutors were laid
on them. Not only the Twelve but
many others took part in this.
S. Unto the Uttermost Puts tt the
Berth. Beginning with the first for
eign missionary enterprise this work
has been carried on with varying de
grees ef success till the present time.
Being tslf-Centered.
Nothing Is more wearing or a more
fruitful source of unhapplness In the
long run than to be self-centered. If
our thoughts and plane, our hopes and
fears, our ideals and ambitions all
center in our own personal comfort
and happiness, there must come many
a day of Infinite weariness and self
disgust when life does not seem worth
living. Poverty or riches have very
little to do with It Tou will find Juet
as many well-to-do people as poor, for
whom life has lost Its spice and en
thusiasm. It is not a question of cepl
t|l. but of character.
