RICHIOND, TA., FEBRUARY, 1867. Vol. L-No. L 'Agritalinral gepartinet. The Culture and Management of Tobacco. BY SAX'L C. SHELTON, IRISBURO, VA. Tobacco has for some years past engrossed the attention of a large portion of the agricultural community of this State and North Carolina. The counties of Henry and Pittsylvania, and some parts of a few other counties in this State, and Caswell and Rockingham in North Carolina, have far surpassed any section of the United States in the producing of an extra fine manufacturing article; and although it must be confessed that the lands of this section are better adapted to the production of this commodity, yet we have seen lands suited well for making fine tobacco where only a very common article vas produced. Believing, therefore, that a great deal depends on the management, and that the finest crop on the bill may be butchered and ruined by bad management, we will in this article give such directions as are backed by practical expe- rience, and will venture to assert that no manager of the weed will lose anything by following the path here laid out before him. First, then, we will begin with THE KINDS OF TOBACCO. We have no hesitation in asserting that there is a very great difference in crops, managed in the same way, arising from the different kinds of tobacco planted. VOL. I.-NO. 1.
