One of the easiest crops to grow and profitable for

They cost so little to grow, make splendid nutri¬ 
tious feed and should be more generally used. 
Culture —For early use, sow in March or April 
either broadcast, or in drills, using preferably Milan 
or Purple Top Strap Leaf or Globe. 
Rutabaga is sown in June or July, preferably in 
drills 2 feet apart, thinning out to 6 inches. 
Turnips for main crop are sown from July to Sep¬ 
tember 15th, broadcast 1 y 2 to 2 lbs. per acre. 
Turnips for greens can be sown as late as October 
1st, and require 3 to 4 lbs. per acre.

Tobacco 
Saved from crown shoots only and grown for us by 
practical growers. 
Culture —The seed is sown from February to April 
in open beds. Ground must be clean, very finely 
pulverized, raked fine and sihooth. It is customary to 
burn over the top of the bed by piling brush or litter 
to destroy weed seeds and add fertility for the young 
plants. After sowing, beds are protected with thin cot¬ 
ton cloth similar to cheesecloth to protect them from 
Tobacco flies. About June 1st it is set in rich or high¬ 
ly fertilized ground in rows 2% by 3 ft. Cultivate 
often and destroy worms by applying paris green or 
arsenate of lead. 
One ounce sows 50 sq. yds., sufficient to set 2 or 3 
acres. Sheep manure will give most excellent results 
on this crop and should be applied in hills two to 
three hundred pounds per acre. 
JUDY’S PRIDE BURLEY. This variety has won great 
popularity in certain sections of Kentucky and 
Tennessee, and we think it a good stand-up Burley. 
The leaf is broad, long and tapering, with prominent 
white ribs. The stalk is strong and holds the leaves 
well up off the ground. It has every characteristic 
of an excellent Burley and should produce a bright 
leaf of high quality. 
Pkt., 5c; Y* oz., 20c; oz., 50c. 
360 STAND-UP BURLEY (Kelly’s Type). A heavy 
yielder of rich, bright leaf, large, long and broad. 
The leaves instead of drooping have a more erect 
position on the plant, turning upward rather than 
d 0wn —hence the name “Stand-up”. It is fast be¬ 
coming the most popular type of Burley and is 
largely grown by planters in all Burley sections.
