TOBACCO 
CULTURE. One ounce of tobacco produces at least 10,000 plants if sown 
properly. 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 kack 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.
