The history If dright tobacco grow? ing dates back, however, hit? middle Virginia history,"'aw'd forms a part of *he industrial record of * that State. At the beginning o? the present centu? ry a dark type of tobacco was~grown ^ncfr"r^e^r^^ was devoid of the mellow sweetness oftenest ^(ft^ ?Ohis tcbafco w|| rafeelyl ?$ohf?| flo Ea?&ean cS*n#?s, ?ier| it |roJi|ht fa!i^pricel,f anJwaly tbefefbfe* |he mothar crop? dPtke^!* oM -Virginia planter. About the year 1812 a strong demand came from France for a ?%h?er an? ?nilrle*.grade of tobacco. The natural fastidiousness of the French people called for a mile smoke and hence the Virginia planters cast fjfew.. ou light gray soil-with a porous subsoil easily drained and to the sub st quent production of a lighter type of tobacco, it also called for better caring facilities and hence came about the system of curing the leaf with charcoal fires. : By this sjratem the leaf was yellowed and by a gradual raising i>f tlie heat the color was set which remained""after the curing process was over. So much the j F^$ra^*\sftaste 1|&8 given to the bacco" fovii?g world. ! j fLater ou-^s^ ^^ujt $hje year 1830 -the sysfem? of flue curing carne i uto vogue. This is practically the system which ?3 used today, and which will be explained later on in these papers The men to whom history accords the honor of making" most discoveries aud? improvements in the curing pro ??ss^s?-e Albnshti Slade,, William liing m m. ?>wit? fact? ||| lj}r? They were all practical .farmers, and their experiment in tobacco curing have been worth millions of dollars to the tobacco growers of Virginia arid North Carolina. Up to the.y ear 1850 the cultivation of bright tobacco was confined to a r counties and^had^made headway. From 1,850 there was considerable increase in the acre? age, the counties of Halifax and Pitt sylvania, in Virginia, and Rocking? ham, ami Caswell, in North Carolina, taking the lead. The war checked the process of this great industry te? s?me extent, but at its close the greal era of exteusion.commenced. Tob?*c -co growing spread out in all direc? tions. Most noticeable was the south? ern direction J? which the planting of tobacco took. 'All the counties i? L?e^uojrthern hali of North Carolina; east of the mountains/and extending "tfJptJ^^^ud Barham, soou began growing the ; weed The rapid development of the industry and the fi^e^tu?acct^ pr /duced in the central parroTtrr?s^?arge area secured for il the name of the -'Golden Belt." which it carries yet. Fo'lowing this large production carne the factories at 'Richmond, )? Lynchburg, Danville, TetersBurg.?Viustoti, Durham, Rees? ville, Greensboro and other points in th? "twin tobacco S:ates." lt was not until some ten years ago that the first crop of tobacco was grown in what ts known as Western -North Carolina, the vast mountain set?wu embrA.ciugi;?unconibe, Mad? ison, Ha3Twood and other counties E^rybodx predicted faiJujB^r the tff^rimei? but such w?Vnot the case. The fiist crop did well and to-day Western North Carolina grows some of the finest leaf the world bas"ever seoir. The annual - crop .of that sectidn is estimated at 7,000,000 pounds representing a money value to the planters of more than one mill? ion dollars. As the reader well knows, some of the most interesting and valuable experiments yet maUe in tobacco j growing have been made in South j Carolina. The State made a great mistake in 18*5, when it proposed to introduce the tobacco crop in all the counties at one stroke. The money thus expended was not orrry lost, bat ij^naanyvinstances the people ^were disgusted witfr their attempt to grow a crop about which they ? practically knew nothing. If a State has money to spend in this way, let it be donegal the experiment station, j or in some suitable locality". By doing this the services of an expert ; can be employed and successful crops grown. The peop'e in the eom rr. unity can see the results for them? selves ami judge us to the wisdom of experimenting with the cn p In South Candi mi, however, the wasteful experiment resulted in ?n><>d ?fier ali Near Florence Mr: F il.
