TOBACCO 



CULTURE. One ounce of tobacco produces at le.->st 10.000 plants if sown 

 propeily. It is advisable to sow as early as possible, the usual custom 

 being to make a large fire over the place intended for the seed-bed. in 

 order to destroy weed seeds. The ground is put in the finest possible con- 

 dition, the seed sown broadcast on the surface and pressed down firmly 

 with a plank or the back of a spade, after which the bed must be pro- 

 tected by cottons or covering. When seedlings get 5 or 6 inches high. 

 they are transplanted in rows 4 feet apart, with 3 feet between the plants. 

 Cultivate thoroughly.
