Mr. T. it. POPPST, the lessee and manager of the warehouse, writes that he is! prepared to give any information in! regard to the transplanting of tobac- j co plants, culti\ation, etc., to any j CAM who will address him at Win- j Hh.n-Salem. or who will write tho I Sumter Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Poppet has mailed out to hundreds j Of farmers whose names are on file in ! Its] Chamber of Commerce, printed! inlorniation about tobacco culture as the following circular letter indi ( ur.s: Dear Sir: Having made arrangements with thi Farmers* Warehouse Co., of Sum? ter to run the warehouse in that Pia? ?? during the coming season, we take this opportunity of advising you of the importance of pushing your i'lants and planting as early as pos? sible so aa to have them well started In the Held before the dry spell which usually comes the latter part of April or tl first of May. For tho benetlt of those who have never planted tobacco before wo would advise laying off the rows about 3 1-2 feet apart with about 2 1-2 feet between the plante .using from 700 to 800 pounds of fertiliz? er to the acre. This seems to be the usual rule with tobacco planters but of course you know the strength of your land and can better judge the amount of fertilizer than we. By planting as above the tobacco is of a finer quality than If planted too far apart, which makes a rough non desirable tobacco. Do not plant in low marshy places as this also grows a coarse tobacco. Good yellow sub? soil land is better adapted for grow? ing a fine quality of tobacco. Any advice that you may desire in regard to growing or curing tobacco, we will gladly furnisr. Hoping that you may have every success with your crops, and with best regards. Your* very truly, (Signed) T. It. Popper. IMG DAY AT DALZELL.
