THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
A. C. Barnes In Farm ad Ranch.
So far, the orowingfrof tobacco
in Texas has not bceii a general
success, from a financial standpoint
nor as to quality and quantity;
but the experiments upto date do
not prove that it cannot be grown
here profitably There are many
reasons why the . industy has not
flourished, chief of whiih are poor
selection of lands, apirng use of
fertilizer, individual undertaking
too large acreage, ignorjnce of to-
bacco culture and pr&aTring for
market, and lack of captal. This
crop requires careful management,
watching, unceasing ltfjor. and
some outlay, of money.
The writer has had iften years
experiences in growing t bacco and

ers are convinced that tiae tobacco,
both wrapper aud filler leaf can
be grown profitably In many
countries in Eastern Tesas. Very
high prices have been received for
small quantities of tobaocil grown
in Montgomery county, but so far
there has not been enough good
tobapco glaped on the \narket to
make it an object to either dealer
or manufacturers.
The Texas tobacco h is been
grown entirely- from Cuban seed
and closely resembles the import-
ed Cuban leaf in size, shape and
genepal appearance. When pfop
erly fermented (sweat) it has good
body aud aroma, aud while not
equal to the Cuban product, it
compares favorably with the best
tiller produced in the United States
Most growers complain of a
poof yi^ld. • Ibis may be remed-
ied by a liberal use of propme fer*
tilizerand adopting the most ap-
proved method of harvesting, by
priming, f tiia nvethbd ~ lS* the
most economical in t e end as , it
allows ali leaves to ripen equally;
jjiyes them a more uniform size,
anfl flakes easy c^orting. An
acre of tobapco grown from Cuban
seed has been kuown to yield 1800
pounds ^f jparketable le^f when
harvested in this manner. Prim-
ing consists of picking eachieaf from
stalk as it ripens, beginning at bot-
tom, stiing on wire or lii.e twine,
which ftpe pushed through the
stem of the leaf, aud then hanging
in bapqs to cure
The soil best ad^jjtec} tq tobacco
pultuce ip tbis state is the gray oj
redish sandy loam. The land
should have a gentle slope so as to
drain well aud to guard against
failure by drouth there
some ppviaton for irrigation. In
any case much water is needed for
plant beds and setting out young
plants. A wind rqill or gasoline,
ppgi^g witji the assistance of stor-
age reservoir will furnish water for
, a large plantation and it may be

FARMING Tii^T PAYS,

tempts to grow fine wrappers in
this state from Sumatra seed,
though in Connecticut and Florida
wrappers are ^Q\yn \iiiOer a |h^e
c^f-cheese cloth, equal to the Sum
tra product. Why pot in Tex<v^
TJie Flofic|a gj.qwu Sumtra is es-
sentially a wrapper leaf that has
been highly developed during pa&t
few years. While the fpst crops
gave iu most cases, only about 20
per cent of wrappers, the propor-

p}G$t «areiu! methods of cultivation
Ti>is crop is so valuable that the
land is now shaded with cheese
cloths stretched on wood fran^e^,
nine fept jpgh. and irrigation is used
in addition with splendid results.
This tobacco closely resembles the
imported leaf in size, shape, tex-
ture and general appea^nce, Jt
ijj yery thin and elastic} the best
crop will average 200 leaves or
more to the pound and two pounds
will cover 1000 cigars, which
rpakeg it a cheap wrapper for the
manufacturer . even at the high
price ol $2 and $3 per pound.
Choice belections have sold by the
bale as high as $4 per pound. It
is grown from imported Sumatra
Unless a man is a better than
average farmer, his business will
prove unprofitable. Avcrags farm-
ing is bad farming. It is high
class farming that pays. Why are
the market gardeners' profits 66
much greater than those of Ihe
average farmer in proportion to
capital and labor invested? Is it
not solely because he prepares his
land better, fertilizes better and
gives better care and cultivation?
Can any other reason for the dif-
ference be assigned? When
farmer with broad acres, makes it a
point to hurry up so as to get as
many acres planted as he can. cul-
tivate, with good health and favor
able seasons, can he b8 expected tq
make better than average crops?
A majority of the farmers in the
Southwest do not use feylilijers on
staple props at all. It is too much
work to haul it out, and as for buy-
ing commercial fertilizers, he im-
agines that would bankrupt h'ffl
But when he ipa^es a garden he
putg the manure on several inches
deep. He never realizes that ma-
nures are important tq staple as

HARU TO BEAT.
One day two dudes were walk-

Pat cominj, one of theiq gaidj
"Yonder cqmo§ Pat, lets have some
fu11 out of him." The other agreed.
When thay met him they said;
Goodmorning Pat,
"Pat have you he^rd the news?"
answfcrod Pat, 1 have not
seen the last paper. What is the
news?"
"Why the devil is deacU"
"Is that so?" Pat exclaimed,
and reaching his baud down his
; pocket, he brought out fifty cents
and gave eaob a quarter.
They looked at each other and
exclaimed, what is this for?
Pat said. In the £\ld Uountry

Easter is the annual festival
observed throughout Christendom
in commemoration of the Resnr
rection of the Savior. The word
Easier, Anglo-Saxon, Ejster; Ger-
man. Extern, is a survival qf the
old Teutonic mythology. Accord-
ing to Bede its derived from Eastre
or lstara the Anglo- Savon god-
dess of spr ng to whom the fourth
month answering to our April waa
dedicated.
The name by which E ister is
lown among the Latin natious is
derived from the Latin woyd
pascha"' and varies according to
the language of its adoption—the
French being "le jour de pague"
or paschal lamb. But the real
origin of thre word is Hebrew, the
name of their Paf^over festival be-
ing "Pesack" meaning He passed
over. This feast was observed in
memory of the gre^t- deliverance
when th? destroying angel passed
over the houses of the children of
Isreal in Egypt when he smote the
Egyptians.
The firsts Christiana, b<eing de-
rived from or intimately couqgeted
with the Jewish church naturally
continued to observe the Jewish
festiva's. though a new spirit, as
commemorations of events of which
these had been the shadows' The
Passover, enobled by the thought
of Christ, the true Paschal L^mb,
the first fru^s fv« vi the dead, con-
tin^ed to he celebrated, and became
the Christian Easter. But though
the observance 6f the Paschal fes-
tival at a vpiv early period bec tme
the rql« in the* christian church, a
difference as to the tima speedily
sprang up between Jewish a d
Gentile Christians, The chief
point w$§ the keeping or not beep-
ing the 14th day of the moon;
corresponding to the month N;$an.
The diversity qf visage \vn gr.id-
naUy l «^ght to an end by the ver-
dict of the Church of ltome.
According to the regulations of
the council of Nice, Eiat^r is de-
termined follow^j (1) Easter
mnst he celebrated on a Sunday:
(2) This Sunday must follow the
14th day of the paschal mqou o
that if the 14th day of the pasehul
f^a on a Sunday, thtn
E'.ster must hf celebrated ou the
Sunday following; (3) The paschal
moon is that of which the 14;h day
falls on cr next follows the day
of the vernal equinox; (4) The
equinox is fixed invariably in tLe
calender on March.
From these conditions it follow-
that the paschal full moon or the
Hth of the paschal moon can not
happen before March 21st and that
Easter in consequence can not
happen before March If the
14th of the moon falls on the 21st
the new moon must fall on the Sth
for suppose the new moon to fall,
on the 7th, then the futy moon
would arrive on the 20th, or the
day before the equinox. TiieAl-
lowing moon would be the paschal
moon. But the 14th of this moon
falls at the latest on April 18th or
29 days after March 20; for by
reason of the double epact that oc-
curs at April 4 and 5, this lunation
has only 29 days. If iu this c:ise
April 18 is Sunday, than Easter
must be celebrated on the
ing Sunday^ &5. Hence
