Tobacco Growing For 1933
(By M. \. Vestal, County Agent) I
For the past lour yaiaj Severn! |
farmers in Jackson County have!
grown .souie Hurley Tobacco at one!
(ice or another. \V!iilt> all haw in,! j
succ.-'s a! it, a f(\v like 0. j
p. mos&a, J. .7. Hooper, Jackson i
MitfMua, of Tuckaseigec, lames
Battle of Qualla, and others, liave j
made sonic mo:iey and continue to I
grow it. \ ' j
Even, Jli ? {lie p.-ice may not be so
high another year, a farmer who will'j
grow an aero, or even a half a ere. :
can get some cash this fall he would
not < Iher vise have. I shall he glad j
to cooperate with anyone interested
in helping with soil uelcction, gimv-i
ing the p'auls, fertilizer, cultivation, I
flitting and curing, grading, etc.
The tobacco Ived should he sown as
soon as the sro'.vul is dry enough.

Tfhe following article written by
Mr. Chambers of i !? /? Carolina Ware- i
house at Asheville is ' worl r \onr
attention if von are interested in
tobacco. I recommend it to you.
"BtirVey Tobacco is one r f (lie most
valuable kinds of Ma :> fold on the
American ma?kct. reason for
this is obv'ovs. It pos<c scs burning
oualitii s P? :id in no other tobacco.
This is wl., it is so easily sought
by manufacturers of cigarettes an<l

I h*ar from F'orida friends thai
the railroads of Florida are epp s:.ii<v

pretty small b-si"(ssl but it is
quite characteristic. The widespread

it took almost u box (.1' malchcs to
smoke a package <?i" cigarettes, wow*
iu.il} the dilfeiinee. Light a cigar
ette, lay ii aside and it will smoke J
-it sell". It is not the cost ol' matches
that counts, as that amounts to little,
hut for every cigan tie hjirnt up it
means more eigarettes sold by the I
manufacturers, and that is what]
counts.
Barley Tobacco will grow profit
ably only in certain sections. For
tnnat.-, ilui^'d, are tSi j1-/ -cations
of the country : lint will produce it,
for h'urley Tobacco is t he .mainstay
oi' all domestic cigarettes. In tho sec
tions that produce it but iittle fer
tilizer is required; it can, therofore,
he raised and cured a great deal
cheaper than any other kind of to
baceo. v
Priming is profitable, especially il
you .should have a. dry reason. Tak
ing off ihe lower leaver that would
ordinarily be wasted, these leaves
ejiu be shadn cured and so'd profit
ably. You understand these leaves
' are to be tied with a string, which
is but very little, trouble, and hung
up in a curing ham. The tobacco
that is left on. the stjii'c will "ripen
mveh parli -r after this ii done. Far
mers should also have a, go.;d dry
i placo to cure this to'iaco in: a place

handle it carefully in orr<-r lh: t there

leaves.
[ Your County A?ont will no doubt
