CLEANING TOBACCO SEED. 



Last year this Division began a new line of work, that of cleaning 

 tobacco seed for farmers of the State. Most gratifying reports have 

 been received from persons for whom seed was cleaned. The following 

 shows the trend of opinion among the tobacco farmers in regard to this 

 new line of work : 



"The tobacco seed I had cleaned by the Department of Agriculture last 

 year I gave to one hundred and twenty-five farmers, and find them all pleased 

 with the seed. I want to say that I find a great difference in the results 

 where seeds are cleaned. 



"First. I get stronger plants on beds, and have no small, inferior plants. 



"Second. The tobacco lives better ; not having to replant, grows evenly, not 

 having any late, inferior tobacco to contend with. 



"Third. It matures uniformly, making the housing of the crop easier. 



"Fourth. I get a better grade of tobacco, heavier and more uniform. 



"Fifth. Better plants, regular growth, uniform maturity, heavier crops, 

 and better prices I find to be the result of cleaned seed, with which I am 

 much pleased. I am sending you to-day my seed for this year to be cleaned."
