WOOD'S CERTIFIED TOBACCOS 
CULTURE—It is customary to burn a piece of land in the woods for plant beds. This destroys grass, weeds and in- 
sects, adds fertility through the action of the wood ashes and leaves the ground in good order. The seeds are sown 
about February and protected by plant-bed cloth to keep off tobacco files. When large enough and weather is settled 
(about June), set the plants out in highly manured or fertilized soil in 314-foot rows, 3 feet between the plants. Con- 
stant care must be given, cultivating, suckering, worming, etc. An ounce will produce plants for 3 acres.
