ho nnd his grower are sntisllcd
that tobacco will ciow and can

"In reference to your tobacco , wo beg to say

aio of the opinion that It will bo desirable

it Is thiough thosup.it "
Mr L'gert haul to Mi. Wells at his ofllco n
shoittimo uftei wards that if the tob icco all
tan like the leaves ho was at that time exam
ining that it \ \ oulu bo woi tli - " > cents per pound
at that time , but of coiuse thiiy were some of
the best wrappers. Mr. Kggeit recommends
the continuance of the culture on a much
larger scale , as ho thinks it will bo a very
piolilabio ciop for this community , nnd
almost any farmer can , after a little study
and expei lonce , become u thoiough nnd ptuc-
tlcal tobacco yiowcr.
Mi. Autjuara said that this ypat's ' crou Is
linci than nnj ho has seen in Wisconsin , nnd
It is as line as any gtown in Connecticut , nnd
ho would advise the gcowcis to coi.lino their
pioduct jaostlv to tMs vnnoly. Mr. Pnolps
is of tbo bame opinion , nnd ho intends to raise
it mote o\tensl\olv next season.
Ah. Abiahaui is of the opinion that it will
piv the fanners to iaNo tobacco o\on if they
do not inise , the \cry illicit article the
lirst few jeuis. ' 1 ho gicatei yield per
acio of the co.user and lower glades will
compensate the farmer for tlio difference in

ent price it will pay to ralio Connecticut bind-
on , and with foie'lgn lestricllon thopiicols

to uo't this MOW Industry thuioughly started

a farmer can laiso 1,500 , pounds of fair to
bacco per acre and two years' expoilonco
bhows that it can by done In Nebraska and
can got oven the low pnco of Scents per

fiom any other ciop. and it ought nnd docs
not cost'any more to luibe it In Nobiaska
than In other states.
H of the < rop.
It lias been stated by competent authority
that the amount ot labor put into the ciop
from the satcding to the packing cannot ex
ceed ? ( > U per acio. A farmer cannot , poi haps ,
laiso 'JUU or 1100 acres of tobacco , as no does
corn and wheat , but the Intrinsic value
of tobacco is so much greater that
ho can well afford to put the same
amount of labor on a less number of acres
aiul have more dolluis nnd cents In his pocket
at the cud of the > oar While this country
uses so much tobacco itiul Imports such a
largo percentage Mieio Is still plenty of room
for the American farmers to absotb nnd sup-

ket for cereals is overstocked
Thlb country can never raho tobacco equal

Statistics do not show that the tobacco
acreage has increased any yvithln the last ten
yours in the older glowing districts of Con
necticut , Now York , 1'omiHVivnnluand Ohio ,
and there seems to bn no bolter place for thu
extension of the tobacco acrongo limit in the
fertile volleys of Nebraska. Nebraska Is ad
mirably located near a good market. The on-
the tobacco consumption of the great mining
districts of the Hocky mountains and the 1'a-
clllo coast Is within closn proximity to this
now Held of tobacco culture , nnd the having
on freights as compared with the present
shipments from Now Vorlf and tlio east
would give thu Nobiaska producer and manu
facturer the piocodcnce.
Large tracts of land would eventually ho
subdivided into smaller farms , the popula
tion and land values would increase , motor-
10.1 for manufacturing cigars and tobacco
would spring up In every town , and on thu
whole it would bo a great boom to
tbo state of Nebraska , whoso farmers have
boon suffering from the ono crop system. An
ox-Governor Abbott icniarkcd , "I am glad to
sco this thing started , because wo are
BO far from the corn and wheat market , no
far from the supplies of wood , utono , coal and
iron , and their accompanying industries that
create A market for the products of
our land , and o far from cheap
waterways , thatimloi * noniducotho bulk of
our proudctt and Increase thulr vnliip , the
freight , oven though nominal , will en tup
our profits. If the farmer would roi
iluco hla product from ten nr tvy only cars of
wheat , corn or cattle to one or two of tobacco
or sucnrha would suvo an linmonso amount
of freight. What the farmers of Nebraska
want to do Is to diversify their products , to
puss fiom n Held that is already over sup-
piled to ono that Is comparatively unsup-
tilled. "
Mr Abraham , who has boon In the tobacco

snld thr.t with piopor care and attention
Nebraska will produce a snpoi lor quality of

The visitors were all enthused with the
bright prospect for tobacco cultuio In Ne
braska , nnd It is qnlto piobabio that tbo
acreage will not only bo liu reused ul
