understand that to ensure a successful final 
issue the planter has need to watch continu- 
ously and to know all the conditions. If the 
leaf does not “yellow” properly no amount of 
after care in curing will make up for this de- 
ficiency. In tobacco growing as in everything 
else, to ensure final high quality each step in 
the process must be executed with skill, care, 
and judgment. 
The yield of tobacco per acre varies from 
about 800 lbs. of leaf in the southern states to 
1,000 lbs. or more in the eastern. 700 to 800 
Ibs. per acre is considered a good average crop.
