TOBACCO. 
One ounce will sow 25 feet square, and produce plants for 1 
acre. 
Tobacco seed may be started in a hot-bed, or sown in 
the open ground, as early in the spring as the ground can 
be worked. Prepare a bed in rich, dry ground, with a 
southern exposure; the bed should be burned over to kiil 
the seeds of weeds and wild grasses, or they will spring 
up before the tobacco plants and destroy them. After 
this is done, rake it off fine, and sow the seed. A table- 
spoonful is sufficient for 100 yards. Sow broadcast, and 
hard roll or press down the soil evenly and firmly. When 
the young plants appear, keep free from weeds and water 
frequently. If the weather is dry, set out about the first of 
June, in land that has been heavily manured. Tobacco 
thrives best in a light, rich, sandy or gravelly soil; plant 
about 3 feet apart. Look out for the ‘“‘tobacco worm,” 
which must be removed as fast as it appears, or it will 
quickly destroy the crop.
