Silver, county agent, has had the following letter sent out to Madison County uuriey Growers: Marshall, N. C. September 9, 1959 Dear Madison County Burley Farmer : The rainy, humid weather is bringing exceptionally difficult tobacco harvesting and curing conditions. How can I take care of my tobacco is a question being asked every day. . First, 1 would like to give some tips to farmers who have not har vested : 1. Unless your tobacco is dam aging too badly, allow it to stand until it is fully ripe. Ripe tobacco cures faster, weigbs more when cured, and suffers less barn da mage. 2. If you must stick the tobacco out, face the butts of the stalks to the evening sun and take the tobacco in before it starts to cure, about four days. 3. Do not put too many stalks on a stick. 4. Begin housing at end of barn where tobacco cures slowest and, fill from top to bottom leaving off the bottom tier. 6. Shake tobacco out so leaves hang free. t " 6. Save broken leaves by string ing on sticks.
