I TOBACCO RAISING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. MR J N HARPER GIVES GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PLANTING AND CARING FOR CROP. I have just received a letter from the bureau of statistics, United States department of agriculture, which places the tobacco crop of South Carolina this year at 33,288,000 pounds. This crop is estimated by the bureau to be worth more than $4,500,000. This is the lareest amount ever received for a tobacco "rnn mispH in this State and has greatly stimulated interest in its culture. Clemson College has received a good many inquiries lately regarding tobacco raising and when in Columbia I promised to write the farm department giving the results of my visit to the Pee Dee section, where I went to study the tobacco situation. I find that the prevailing opinion among tobac-o growers is that prices are likely to remain good for the next few years, as the tobacco industry in large districts of Turkey, where a great deal was formerly grown, has been practically destroyed by war and there is a constant and growing demand for tobacco,as the consumption becomes - -i.! - _n? greater each year in pracucauy every country. EXTEND THE CROP. Tobacco growing can be considerably extended in South Carolina, as there is much land in the lower part of the State that is well suited to its culture that is now planted in cotton and corn. Tobacco is considerably influenced by the type of soil on which it grows; in fact, it is influenced far more by soil type than by climate. The type of soil in this State best suited to its culture is a loose, well drained, deep, fine sandy loam, rich in humus with red or I yellow sandy subsoil containing more or less clay. But here must not be present too much decaying vegetable matter rich in ammonia and there must be no hard pan. As to bacco is a deep rooting plant, it is necessary that the soil be well drained and free from acidity. The quality of tobacco is considerably influenced by the smount of moisture present in the soil and thus indirectly the amount of moisture that a soil will hold influences great! ly the quality of the tobacco raised. It is a rapidly growing plant and must be highly fertilized and must not be checked in its growth by drouth. For this reason it is advisable to plant tobacco on land where the clay is at least eight to ten inches from the surface. This clay will hold moisture and prevent too much damage from a drouth. While tobacco is grown profitably in some places in a mucn deeper sou, still it is considered safer to plant only on soil where the clay is not more than 16 to 18 inches below the surface. No crop is so much influenced by crop rotation as is tobacco. If there is an accumulation nitrates in the soil, the tobacco wiil grow rank and the leaves will become spotted. For that reason it is not safe to plant it on highly manured land or on pea stubble land. The varieties of tobacco that are best suited to the soil types of this State appear to be yellow Oronoco, white stem Oronoco, Hester,Waughn and Gooch. Oronoco and Hester are well suited to the light soils and Waughn and Gooch are better adapted to heavier soils or those containing more silt and clay. SEED. Tobacco seed can be obtained from almost any seed company. There are a few tobacco planters of the Pee Dee section who are carefully breeding their tobacco. Beginners in its culture should not try to produce wrappers the first few years, but a bright lemon leaf, which is used in the manufacture of smoking tobacco. From December 1 to March 1 is the time to prepare the land intended for this crop. It can follow cotton, oats or corn in which no peas were planted. The stalks should be removed from the land, otherwise if plowed under they may break the stand. The following is a good rotation for tobacco: First year, corn with peas, fertilized with sulphate -r inofooH nf mnriatp or U1 JJULdSTI liiOi^Uvi I kainit; second year, oats, followed by rye turned under; third year, cotton; fourth year, tobacco. An old broom straw field that has not been in cultivation for a number of years is well suited to tobacco raising. If such land is planted in tobacco the straw should be turned under during the winter. As stated above, tobacco is very injuriously influenced by the presence of too much ammonia or nitrogen. It is also influenced by the kind of potash. Muriate or the chloride of potash is hurtful to its quality. For this reason the sulphate only should be used, and if tobacco enters a set rotation, each t Poor Blood is Responsible for much sickness and suffering because its quality determines our resistive power. With poor blood we are languid, susceptible to colds, lack natural energy and ambition, and the gradual decline of strength makes prompt and ?..1 i. i. j. careiui crcamiciu ncccsscuy. Drugs or alcohol cannot make blood and must be avoided. Scott's Emulsion is nature's grandest blood-maker because of its wholesome medical nourishment, so carefully predigested that it assimi1 a t e s without taxing digestion and quickly increases the red corpuscles of the blood, strengthens the organs and tissues and upbuilds the whole system. Absolutely nothing compares with Scott's Emulsion to purify and enrich the blood to overcome or avoid ' anaemia. It is totally free from alcohol or opiates and your health de-1 mands the purity of Scott's. Scott 'k Lowue. Lloomfield, N. J. 13-85 crop in the rotation should receive the potash in the form of a sulphate. PREPARING LAND. The land should be prepared by plowing in the winter from six to eight inches deep and in the spring it should be disked and harrowed. The rows should be laid off four feet apart with a middlebuster or big scooter by the 15th of March; the fertilizer applied in this furrow and ridged on with Dixie, making a ridge a little above the general level of the land. Every ninth row should be five feet to permit the use of a cart in gathering the tobacco. The plants are set from 20 j to 24 inches in the row, depending i on the type of soil and the quality; of tobacco desired. If' wrappers ' are desired, the distance should be from 30 to 32 inches. A convenient way for marking off the rows is by the use of a wheel 30 inches in circumference. This weel has a spike in the rim one inch long. The wheel is rapidly run down the row and wherever the spike hits, a plant is set. The plants are usually set out the same as cabbage plants, care being taken not to set out when the ground is too wet. If too dry, the 1?* - -1 u 1 4. J plants snouiu utr waictcu. winetimes a plant setting machine is used. These machines are used extensively in the tobacco districts of Kentucky. The most experienced tobacco growers of the Pee Dee section recommend from 500 to 1,200 pounds of fertilizer per acre, depending upon the fertility of the land. Old fields are usually fertilized with about 800 pounds per acre and fertilizer used is one analyzing 8 per cent acid phosphate, 4 per cent ammonia and from 4 to 6 per cent potash. The phosphorus is derived from acid phosphate; the ammonia, from blood, cottonseed meal, fish scrap and a small amount of nitrate of soda; the potash from sulphate of potash. It is well to mix the sources of ammonia. Rich stable manure is not advisable, as it causes tobacco to grow too coarse and may become spotted. The soda is always mixed with the fertilizers and is never used to any extent as a side I application. In fact, all the fertilizers should be placed under the crop.? The State. (Concluded next week.)
