Tobacco Crops Are
Nearing Maturity
In Coffee County
By J. M. PURDOM,
Assistant Agricultural & Industrial
Agent Atlantic Coast Line Rail
road Company.
At the time I am writing this, June
3, our tobacco crops are beginning
to get rather dry again. The general
rains of May 20 have dried out of
the fields, and more rain would be
veiy acceptable now. The weather
map indicates that showers are apt
to occur in southern Georgia and
northern Florida before the close of
the 'week, and should this prove the
case, a large part of our crop will be
placed well on the road to maturity.
Considerable topping has been done
up to the present time, but the indi
cations are that the earliest gathering
and curing will (hardly begin before
the middle of the month; however, the
week beginning June 21 should see
considerable tobacco being (housed.
Seasonable Suggestions.
The effect of dry weather on tobac
co, especially during the period the
leaf is growing and forming should be
carefully noted. Observation will
show that where the plant (has receiv
ed a good start and where the land
is fertile and has been well fertilized,
the leaf will not grow in size (or
spread) very rapidly, will have a ten
dency to thicken out of proportion to
the size, take on an intense deep
green tolor, and if the same seasonal
conditions continue long enough, the
thickening process will proceed until
the leaf crinkles and becomes rough
in place of spreading in size and re
maining smooth and velvety. Should
this occur the quality of the leaf that
is cured out will not be as desirable
as one would wish. To prevent this
from occuring cultivation should be
continued. Especially is this true
where the soil is rather stiff and in
clined to become hard and packed. I
am satisfied that last year there were
hundreds of fields of tobacco which
if they had (been given two or three
more plowings would have grown a
much more superior quality of tobac
co than was the case. I know there
are a great many farmers win will
READ THE TRUTH ABOUT KILLING INSECT PESTS
In the first place—
don 't pay a Big Price

*X7HY pay a big price for an insecticide

to come. Bee Brand insect Powder is
not only a most effective insecticide, but
It is also the least expensive.

disagree with me on this point; how
ever, i am inclined to believe that t*ie
majority of these have formed their
opinion not from experience, but from
general principles. I would like very
much to sea these later cultivations
tried, especially where the crop is (be
ginning to get into the condition I
described in the preceding paragraph.
It should be remembered that the
longer the crop is allowed to remain
in this condition the more difficult it
W’ill be to correct it.
Horn Worms Are Doing Damage.
There are large parts of the terri
tory where the infestation of horn
worms atppear to have been heavier
and earlier than usual. Every effort
should be made to destroy these
worms, both for the purpose of pre
venting their damage to the crop and
for the further purpose of preventing
a heavy infestation later on when we
are in the midst of gathering and
curing the crop. By carefully look
ing for the worms a large number can
be destroyed by hand. Sole reliance,
however, should not be placed in this
method, and poison should be applied
promptly and thoroughly. Arsenate
of lead is the poison most generally
accepted as being the best for this
purpose. It can be applied with a
dust gun, or as a liquid spray. In the
event a liquid spray is used, 2 to 4
pounds of powdered arsenate of lead
should be mixed with 50 gallons of
water. The solution should be kept
thoroughly stirred, otherwise the ma
jority of the arsenate of lead will set
tle in the bottom. This should be
kept thoroughly in mind when filling
up the spray tanks, and while using
the sprays in the (field. If the spray
solution begins to paint the leaves
with a solid coat of white you may
know it has not been kept thoroughly
mixed.

“J WAS in a very weakened,
run-down condition, surely
in need of a tonic and build
er,” says Mrs. J. R. Wrenn, of
Anna, Texas. “I was so weak
I had to go to bed, and kept
getting weaker.
“I suffered w T ith my back so
much. I was very nervous,
couldn’t rest good at night. I
couldn’t eat anything—l just
wasn’t hungry.
“I had read so much of
Cardui, I thought best to use
it. I took seven or eight bot
tles, and by the time I had
taken them I was stronger
than I had been in several
years. I can highly recom
mend Cardui.”
Thousands of other women
have found that the tonic ef
fects of the purely vegetable
ingredients of Cardui were
just w'hat they needed to help
restore their appetites, to help
bring them easily and natu
rally back to normal health
and strength. Its action has
been found to be of great
benefit in many common fe
male ailments.
