78 TOBACCO LEAF. 



The Indiana Kite-Foot, a variety having a broad, 

 short leaf, grown in Owen and Clark counties, in 

 Indiana, is used for making common cigars. This to- 

 bacco is cured with fire, and the color is generally brown, 

 sprinkled with yellow spots. 



Little Dutch is a small variety, with thin leaf, 

 sweet, dark brown in color, with a glossy surface, and it 

 is grown in the Miami Valley of Ohio. It makes a very 

 pleasant pipe-smoking tobacco". It is easily injured by 

 the process of fermentation and for that reason is not 

 popular with manufacturers of tobacco or cigars. It 

 loses twenty per cent of its weight by sweating, and 

 has less nicotine than any other tobacco grown, having 

 only 0. 63 of one per cent.
