C. :'X ':Cs 6;23-44 Dear Mr. Editor: My father, who lived to tC ripe old age, grew tobacco for about , 70 years. He found that there are better times than others for harvesting tobacco In orded' for it to cure easily and be rich and su perior In quality. Tobacco has an oily substance and a sap (water) which come and go at intervals during he life of the plant When the sap rises it runs the oil out through the pores of the leaf (oil being lighter) to the surface where it forms a "gum", well-known to all tobacco gaowen. Ilairvest tobacco when fullest of oil for best results. Tobacco har ' vested when full of sap will cure - badly and be light and of inferior quality. .
