TOBACCO 
Tabaco, Tabak, Tabac 
Cultivation of Tobacco is comparatively easy and a warm 
climate suits it best. The best time for starting the seed is 
January. Sow in seed beds of rich soil, and as the seed is 
extremely minute, it is first largely mixed with sand and wood 
ashes to assist in spreading it thinly. One ounce of seed will 
sow 25 feet square and produce plants for one acre. After 
the beds have been sown, cover the seed slightly and protect 
from light frosts. Remove covering as soon as can be done 
with safety, and the plants will then grow rapidly and are 
ready for transplanting about the first of June. Wet or foggy 
weather is the best for transplanting. The plants must be 
carefully raised from the seed bed and planted in the fields in 
rows three feet apart and leaving five feet between the rows. 
The crop needs much careful attention in weeding, and a 
watchful eye to prevent the ravages of various insect enemies. 
As soon as the plants begin to throw up the flower-shoot, it is 
clipped off; otherwise it would weaken the plant.
