his running mate, the brother of Wil

with dramatic force from the violent

baeco has an oily substance, which is
a natural possession. It has a sap
(water) like other vegetation. When
the sap rises it runs the oil out thru
the pores of the leaves on the princi
ple that oil and water dont mix and
oil being lighter is poshed out by the
sap. Tobacco harvested in this state
will be light and "chaffr" when cured.
There being only sap (water)- in the
tobacco and this evaporates in curing
land leaves the tobacco light and al
most worthless. But, toabceo har
vested when the sap is down and oil
in the leaves renderes it easily cured
and makes it rich, oily and "waxy".
This is because the tobacco is full of
oil instead of sap and oil being unable
to evaporate remains to give the to
bacco weight.
I shall be pleased to answer corres

may desire to write me, provided pos
