TOPPING TOBACCO Clemson "College, June 22.-Tobacco under proper conditions grows very rapidly and soon forms seed-pods that have to be pinched out. ThIs is called "toppiing." As uniform maturity is desired, it is well to allow a large portion of the seed-buds to form, per haps now and then allowing one to bloom, before commencing to pinch them out. EXperience is the only teacher in this case, says R. E. Currin in Extensibw Bulletin 43, Tobacco Cul ture in South Carolina. Taking every thing into consideratio'n, it is a-lv'is able to top "too high" rather than too low." In other words, it is best t leave too many leaves on the plant to ma'. ire than too few. On orldi nmy laid, with ordinary fertiliza tCin, form twelve to sixteen leaves omay be left. On richer or more hiqliy fertilized land, more leaves should be left to mature. After topping has commenced, it Thould le continued until all of the hlants are topped; and. as theit aim (11 t n i is o J :t thel t obaccvo t o mature uniformly, the small, yellow and late plants shouli he topped lower than the early an-I 111re vig 000soon a topping is bve!un ''suckers'" will form in the axsils of the leaves.

It is surprisil' how fast these suckers will grrow. Generally from two to three suckers will have to be removed from the axil of each. Keep them off.
