For a crop from 10 acres, a building 100 feet long by 40 feet wide, with 

 a distance of 20 feet between sill and plate, would suffice, and in the 

 localities referred to such a structure should not cost over $600. 



Copies of the soil survey reports showing the location of the Orange- 

 burg sandy loam and Orangeburg claj^ — which the Department believes 

 to be the best soils for this southern tobacco — so far as these survey's 

 have been extended around Nacogdoches and Palestine, Tex., and in 

 Perr}' County, Ala., can be obtained upon application to the Bureau. 

 The report on the survey of Anderson Countj^ Tex., has not yet been 

 published, and the survey of Houston County is still in progress. 



Inquiries regarding the cooperation of the Department in the growing 

 of tobacco in any of these areas, including the two areas for which the 

 reports are j^et unpublished, may be made of the Chief of the Bureau of 

 Soils, or of Mr. G. T. McNess, the chief tobacco expert of the Depart- 

 ment in Washington, or Mr. W. M. Hinson, expert in charge of the 

 work in Texas, whose present headquarters are at Nacogdoches, Tex.
