DESCKIPTIOX OF TOBACCO GJIOWX IN 



DIFFEREXT PARTS OF THE 



UNITED STAI'ES. 



These Tables, compiled fioiii data set'Uieil by the Xorth Carolina Experiment 

 'Station ami publislied in Bulletin 122, are of great interest. The variet\' 

 planted, the nature and value of the soil, the fertilizers apiplied, the purpose 

 for which the tobacco is to be used, and the selling price are all given. The 

 value in English pence may be appro.-simately obtained by dividing the 

 values in cents by two, aud the values in pounds may be reached by 

 dividing the dollars by ti\-e. Tlie nature of the soil is described in general 

 and in exact terms, and this fact should lie reniembeied in drawing 

 conclusions from the tables.
