PLAN OF DISTRIBUTING TOBACCO SEED, AND CULTURAL DIREC- 

 TIONS FOR THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TOBACCO 



DISTRIBUTED. 



For several years the Bureau of Plant Industry and the Bureau of 

 Soils have been cooperating in work looking toward the improvement 

 of tobacco in this country. Under the direction of the Chief of the 

 Bureau of Soils the tobacco seed for the forthcoming Congressional 

 seed distribution was secured from carefully selected and matured 

 plants, in accordance with directions issued by the Department to 

 individual growers. The seed was obtained from the best localities 

 for each variety, and a plan of distribution worked out whereby the 

 varieties suitable for certain districts will be sent there. 



The following directions for the distribution and culture of the 

 different types of tobacco have been prepared in the office of the Chief 

 of the Bureau of Soils:
