HOW TO CURE TOBACCO.
Valuable Directions Given by Practical
Tobacconist-Follow Them.
All tobacco should be cut with the
first grain on it to get the best re "' f
mminnr MnO' tr> hptrin With.
OU1WO 111 V.U1 mm. livn t w wn... ...
we have a house of tobacco cut under
normal conditions. Make a good
fire to warm the barn and limber the
tobacco down, and after you have the
barn warm,with the thermometer at
100, you can make a quick heat and
run the heat up to 115 for about five
minutes; then pull the fire out and
drop back to 100. Now keep your
heat regular till you get the tobacco
in a sweat. You will then be governed
by the weather; if it is hot
you can run as above stated, but if
it is cool weather you will have to
fire 10 to 15 degrees lower, so you
fka fnKonm vollnwina nieplv

after you have fired twenty to thirty
hours. Now before you raise your
heat you should run up to 116 and
drop back, then open your door and
cool off back t<^ 95 or 100. You are
trying to get the sweat off, therefore
continue this process till you can
run the back of your hand over the
tobacco leaves and if the tobacco
feels dry you can raise the heat. But
, this is the particular time and you
must watch the ends of the leaf and
see that it does not splotch. Now to
dry tobacco you must rise and fall
with your heat. Say you want to dry
your leaf, raise your heat to 120,
then run up to 125 five minutes,
then up to 130 three minutes, then
open your door and cool back to 115.
By rising and falling you dry the
)ugs and sap the body and tips. In
all cases when you want to Are at a
eertain heat run 5 to 10 above that
point, then fall back to where you
want to fire at. This toughens the
tobacco. Now when you have the
leaf dry you can stay around 130 to
140 about 3 or 4 hours, to get the
shoulder of the leaf thoroughly dry,
and when you have that done you
raise your heat to 150 and stay two
hours, then you can go on and kill it
out. Never run your heat over 200
degrees, as you may scorch the leaf,
and that won't do. This is a general
outline of curing, but you will have
to learn every crop and use the general
principle of curing tobacco and
always try to cure your "weed"
with a tinge of green, as that will
run out and leave your tobacco a
clear color, and color is the thing to
sro aftei .as tobaccb with color brings
the money, and that is what you
want. Now, I will call your attention
to one thing here. You must not let
your tobacco get too ripe, as it is
hard to cure with color and is too
^nder and brittle, so you must guard
carefully against this. While you are
curing, never cure a barn unless you
have a bucket of water sitting at the
door and use every precaution
around the barn. Now that you have
the tobacco cured you should take it
out of the barn just as soon as it
gets soft enough to handle, then
have a place in your pack house to
lay it down in a long bulk for a day
or two,after which put it in chicken
coop bulk until through curing, then
?ou can hang it up or let it lie in
bulk till you get ready to grade and
market the tobacco.

REALIZE AMERICA'S FORCE.
German Critics Appreciate Power of
the Latest Entrant
Zurich, Suly 2:?Referring to the
arrival of American troops on French
soil, the military critic of the Frankfurter
Zeitung says that Germany

American help is really very great,
though it will come only by degrees.
Under these conditions, he says, if
Franee is obliged to restrict her
military activities it will signify no
strengthening of the German si tuition.
The- ?ritvc thinks that entente
plans for a greater offensive will be
delayed and perhaps will not be carried
out until the spring of 1918.
Hence, he writes, there is gretter
opportunity for the central powers
to take the initiative.
The critic of the Hamburger Nachrichten
questions whether the entente
will delay an offensive until
the Americans arrive in France.

THE TROOPS IN FRANCE. j
Some Pertinent Comments on the Secrecy
of Their Going.
Safe arrival in France of the first
two detachments of our army has
stirred a few newspapers to fresh
complaints about the secrecy of the
sailing of the troops. It was all
along, it is said, an open secret that
they were on the 3ea. If German
spies are operating here, they knew
the fact as well as thousands of
others. Nothing was gained by preventing
the news from being printed.
And how much was lost! If only the
soldiers had been paraded on shore
before embarking, what acclaim
would have greeted them, how they
would have been covered with applause
and flowers, what popular enthusiasm
would have been evoked,
how recruiting would have leaped
forward and raised the army to war
strength instantly!
Possibly; we may even say probably.
But in imagining what might
have been, we may fancy another
course of events. Suppose that full
publicity had been given to the assembling
and departure of Gen Pershing's
men; that the populace and
the newspapers had had their fling;
and then suppose that one of the
transports had been torpedoed on the
way to France, with the loss of 1,000
.1J
men. military secrecy wuuiu ubvc
looked somewhat different in that
event. It would not have been possible,
of course, to prove that a German
submarine had been Riven information
in consequence of advertisinR
the movement, but everybody
would have said that an unnecessary
risk had been run, and the government
and the press would have been
severely blamed for not having kept
the whole expedition as dark as possible.
Prople would have recalled the
saying of Gen Sherman that, during
the Civil war, "the improper use of
military news by our newspapers"
had cost 100,000 lives, and would
have asked, "Are we never going to
learn anything? For the sake of a
mere spectacular display, are we to
expose our army to even a possible
peril?"
As a matter of fact, we think the
country as a whole heartily approves
the secrecy with which our soldiers
have been landed on French soil. So
far as enthusiasm eoes, there is just
as much over the news of the complete
success of the expedition as
there would have been over the sight
of the men marching through our
streets and boarding their ships.
Only a few of our citizens, compara
tively, could have witnessed the latter;
the whole country takes solid
satisfaction in the evidence that our
army and navy afficials did the job
they had to do in a wordman-like
manner. It is not only the military
experts who have made up their
minds that this war must be conducted
in the spirit of grim business.
Thp pntirp nation is convinced of
that and acquiesce in it. We can well
spare spectacle and fuss and feathers
provided we get military efficiency.
Needlessly <o put a single soldier to
hazard for the sake of tickling the
crowd would be little short of criminal.

The following letter to Clerk of
Court H 0 Britton from State Highway
Commissioner Pennell regarding
the transfer of automobile
license plates is self explanatory and
will be of information to car owners

Columbia, S C, June 29th.
Mr H 0 Britton,
Kingstree, S C.
Dear Sir:?
Yours of the 27th received, and
in reply will say that in no case
should a party sell his automobile
license plate with his car, for the
reason that he will be liable for every
movement of that car for the
rest of the entire year. He will,
however, be allowed to use this old
number on a new car by submitting
now application and payment of
transfer fee of 50c, provided that
both cars are of the same horse
power. Should his new car be of
- l:~
greater norse power umu ma uiu
car, he will also have to pay the
difforence in rating. If his new car
is of less horse power than his old
car, there is no refund.
The party who purchases this car
will have to submit application and
secure an entirely separate and distinct
number.
Yours very truly,
J Roy Pennell,
State Highway Engineer.
