HEARINGS BEFORE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE. 91 
The Cuarrman. Do you suppose it will ever be possible for the 
small grower of tobacco to avail Himsels of this knowledge? 
Mr. Wuirney. Oh, yes; they are going into it now. 
The Cuartrman. I understand it has been almost shown now that the 
raising of tobacco in Connecticut under cover is a matter of a large 
undertaking; that the capital required and all that is large. 
Mr. Wuitney. Yes; that requires a good deal of capital. 
The Cuatrman. And the risk is too great for the small grower to 
undertake ? 
Mr. Wuirnry. Yes; but the work in Ohio is with the small grower. 
There is no expense to that. It is merely a change and improvement 
in methods. 
Mr. Scorr. Did you have any of your force in Connecticut this year 
overseeing the business there? 
Mr. Wuitney. We had one man. 
Mr. Scorr. You spoke, when you were before the committee last 
year, of wanting to send somebody to Cuba to investigate methods 
and soils. Did you send anybody? 
Mr. Wuitnry. We sent a tobacco man to look into the tobacco and 
to get seed for us, but we have made no soil investigation there except 
what samples he brought back. 
Mr. Lams. Professor, when will you know about the result of that 
Habana experiment? 
Mr. Wuirnery. I think we will know in about a month. 
Mr. Lams. If you could write that up or let me know, I will put 
those tobacco people around there in communication with you. They 
are very much interested in that thing. 
Mr. Wuirnry. Yes; I will let you know. 
Mr. Haucren. When will the report be out of the surveys made 
this year? 
Mr. Wurryey. They will not be out until the latter part of next 
year, next fall, unless we get this resolution through, and then instead 
of having all the work wait until the end of the season, it is proposed 
to send these reports in as soon as the surveys are made, and have 
them printed as advance sheets. I have soil-survey work now that 
was done in Texas last winter. It is lying in my office and has been 
ready for nine months. It is lying there because it can not be taken 
up by the Public Printer until all of our work is done in February, 
when it can be sent down. It might just as well have been printed 
and distributed. 
Mr. Havcen. It will come out in bulletins, then, of about 25 pages? 
Mr. Warrnery. Yes. 
Mr. Burteson. Does that resolution of Mr. Shepherd cover it 
exactly ? 
Mr. Warirney. Yes; J think it does. 
Mr. Bowir. Has that resolution of Shepherd’s your approval ? 
Mr. Wurrney. Yes. 
Mr. Grarr. The committee here passed a resolution authorizing 
the publication, or recommending it. Then I went over, on the direc- 
tion of this committee, to the Committee on Printing and saw Repre- 
sentative Heatwole, and he told me he would have the matter taken 
up. Iurged him frequently, but he did not get it through. 
Mr. Bowrr. I think it would be a good idea for us to do the same 
thing again this year.
