TIMELY FARM
QUESTIONS
ANSWERED AT
STATE COLLEGE
Question: How often should to
bacco be primed to Insure a
quality leaf?
Answer; This depends upon the
maturity of the leaves and sea
sonal conditions, but usually the
plants should be primed at least
once a week during normal sea
sons. Only uniform, ripe, well
developed leaves should be primed.
Begin the harvest as soon as the
bottom leaves turn yellow. The
first leaves can be pulled a little
greener, If the leaf 6 matured,
than at any other priming. A
uniformity in pulling and hand
ling tobacco will add as much to
the quality as any other one fac
tor. Precautions should there
fore be taken not to bruise the
leaves in handling.
Question: When should cocker
els be caponized for the early
market?
Answer: As it usually takes
from eight to eleven months to
properly develop Mid finish a ca
pon, the birds should be capon
ized from mid-June until the first

Question: How can I keep
cream sweet and fresh until it ii

the cold cream will be raised and
the bacterial action stimulated
which will endanger the quality
of the entire batch.
