Tobacco is pushing its way out of the earth in the plant beds of Duplin, now only tiny weeds which must
be guarded against a multitude of hazards before it becomes a head high money crop in the summer. Right

done here by Sam Kennedy, with the assistance of Ad die Heath and his wif e. The plants here will be set out
in two counties, Duplin and Lenoir, near Pink Hill. The Kennedy farm is near Pink Hill, and on it this year
will be planted eight acres of the State's main money, crop. Disease is another enemy of tobacco. Guard now
