The old Romans tried to make
September the seventh month, as
its name indicates, but this brought
Labor Day around at a season when
capital was at the seashore aud
could not be impressed by the pa
rade, and it was subsequently made
the ninth month. Domitian the
tyrant was among those who com
plained of the misnomer, and he
gave it his own royal name of Ger

Africa the reigning PZmperor, Big
billius, reversed the policy and re
stored to the month the only name
in the calendar remaining to use as
it was in the begiuning.

WRONG TYPE '
OF TOBACC®
harmers in Bast Carolina
Must Grow Heavier-To
bacco - - Lemon Colored
Weed Not in Demand as
Formerly -- Change the
Method of Priming.
For the last few years it has beeir
perfectly apparent to every close
observer of the sales of tobacco 6'a
the western Xorth Carolina markets'
that thin tobacco was grow
ing less and less in demand. Dur
ing the fiist few years of tobacco
culture in this section of the State,
white, or what is known as lemon
colored tobacco was in greatest de
mand and sold for fancy prices,
but for some cause the demand for
the manufactured product made
from this type of leaf began to drop
[off. In the meantime, stimulated
jby the higher prices of white to-
I bacco, farmers devoted their chief
attention to the production of this
| tobacco, with the result that more
jot this type of tobacco was made
than there was demand for and con
sequently the price fell oil.
Farmers learned from experience
that the highest type of white to
bacco was made by priming oil the
tobacco early and cuiing it a pea
green color which changed after
lying in bulk a few weeks to a very
beautiful light color. This method
was practiced to such an extent
that since lyoo, although the crop
lis now not transplanted much, if
any. earlier than it was then, yet it
lis taken off the hill and curtd from
! fifteen to thirty days earlier. This
: type of tobacco for the last two
j years has hardly, paid the cost ut
pioduction and as most of our
farmers made this type of tobacco,
it will be teen that it has "been, to
say the least, an unprofitable crop.
We must chauge our methods.
The manufacturers tell us they
want a heavier, richer and riper
tobacco. They have paid good
prices for such of this tobacco as
we have made.
A change from present methods
certiinly cannot harm us, b>r we
are making nothing by growing
the thin, white, chalTy tobacco.
It is easy enough done. When
the tobacco is about knee high it
| should be primed high and the
i primings thrown on the ground.
Then top low in accordance with
growth and vigor ol the plant, let
I it stand on the hill until thoroughly
[ripe, and cure. The result will Be
i an utterly different class of to ijacco
j from that we are now making and
| a class the manufacturers say they
| want. Let's make what tfiey wan?
land a little bit less than they want.
(lrow all our home supplies. Mar-
I ket the crop in a seasonable and
reasonable way and not throw it all
lon the market in three or four
months. Do this and in my opin-
I ion it will be the medicine that wilL
produce a cure.—O. 1,. JovNKK n
