’ 1‘ ‘WABHINGTON. March Ill—The most
important information thus far secured
on the sub t of shade growa tobacco
is hiring co stated by Professor Milton
Whitney. of the Department of Agri-
ulturemnd will soon be issued by the
apartment In the form of a pamphlet .
on "Growing Sumatra Tobacco Under
bade In- the Connecticut Valley. The
pamphlet will be ready for distribution
Just prior to the sale of last year“ a crop.
which is to take place about May 1st.
and will be of special interest to the
wooden groivers of Connecticut

The report is a detailed statement of
the experiments of growing tobntco
under shade in Connecticut during last
‘.sca'son,I It gives a description or the
fdbacco area, which was surveyed in
the summer of 1899. from South .Glas-
tofl'Kury, Conn.. to Smith Hadley, Mass.
These four hundred square miles In the
Connecticut Valley were selected for
the expo intents and the first shade
grown to stone was raised in 1899
There was, howaver. a good deal of ad-
verse criticism in the Connecticut Vril-
ley of the idea of attempting to change

eoharacter of the leaf as the Con-

'téctictlt Havaiia had beén grown in the
state for upwards of (me hundred

years. ‘

In December 1899. Marcus L. Floyd.
the tobacco expert of the Department
of Agriculture was sent to Connecti-
cut to cacoperate with the experiment
edition at New Haven in the fer men<
tuition of the crop. which had been
arovia under the direction of Dr. A. H.
. Jenkins and John A. DuBon. of
‘ Pdgupnnock. The result proving sat-
isflctory. In the spring of 1900 arrange-

ditto were made through cooperation
with the Connecticut experiment sta-
tldo- to grown snipll area under cheese
‘ cloth. About half an acre was planted.

out of this about one-half was grown
'w th Connecticut Havana seed. and the
other half with LFIorida grown Sum-
atra. 0n the fermentation of this to-
bacco. it became «evident that the Stim-
atra leaf was a varst improvement over
anything that hard been grown in the
state. and gave promise of more desir-
' able results; if tire experiments were
conducted on a. larger scale and under
somewhat dill'e‘renti methods it was at-
80 found that the :plants that were not
topped were decldeJy better than those
‘i, that were, and that the leaves were
"” thinner, more elastic and the inlet
more uniform.

EncOuraged by the results it was
thought desirable to make a further
demonstration .on a mmmercial scale.
and in the springof 1901 arrangements
were made with compiler of growers.
bywhlch about forty—one acres were
grown under shade. the crops being
cultivated under the direction of Mr.
Floyd and a number of assistants
There were thirteen growers who cu-
operated in this undertaking. located
in various parts of the Connecticut v ai-
lay, both in Massachusetts and Con-
'.necticut no .follptvs: H. Woodford of
Avon: C. 0. Gates and James Stewart
»of Pine Meadow; E. C Hills and H. l.
Miller, of Southwick. Mass. . H K.
Wright, of Mapleton: Clark Brothers.
of Poqnonn'OCk; William Hayes R. H.
Blood and Ariel Mltchelson. of Tariff-
”ville, August Pouleur, of Windsor 1..
M Case, of Barhamsted, and . S.
iPlnney. of Suffleld. It Is estimated that
these growers invested from $20. 000 to
$26, 000 in this work Including theerec—
tion of the shade the cultivation and
moling of the crop. while the depart-
ment apentrabout $10. 000 for the super-
vision of the work.

PREPARATION OF THE SEED BED.

The Sumatra seed requires an .Iinusu-
ally high temperature for fiélrmlnatlon.
. It is very important In the preparation
" or the seed bed that an ample supply of
seed should be sown and provision
' '- made for “succession of plants so
that. when e planting season comes.
the suppl of plants suitable for trans-
planting ill be ample for the purpose.
and the supply will be. maintained
throughout the period in which the
planting is to be done. On a commer-
cial scale a little over half an ounce of
seed is used for an acre of land or a
pound of seed to twenty-five acres. If
the land where the seed bed is to be
made is foul with grass or weeds It is
desirable to burn it off by building
fires over it or by paring and burning,
as is‘ freqeu eutly practiced even on a
.scale d English gardens. and the

CULTIVATION AND FERTILIZER.
The ground should be ploughed us
soon as the frost perrnlts in the storing
and heavily inanureil. The plants “are
preferably set with a planter and: all
the soil should be washed away from
the roots as they seem to do better.
They should be twelve inches apart in
rows three inches apart. running with
In order to insure a rapid
growth, theground should be constant-

‘ly stirred. and it is well to go over It at

least tWice a week either with it hoe
or cultivator. A safe application of
manure is five cords of horse manure
per acre, one ton cotton seed meal and
500 pounds of cotton brill ashes
HARVES'I‘ING.

Considerable judgment is required in
the matter of topping plants. If the
plants are thrifty and the weather fuv~
oruble for growth. it is well not to top
the plants at all. blit to let them pro—
duce their flowers and seed pods. Suck-
ers should be kept off the plants so as
to throw the strength into the main
stalk. In the event of the plants being
topped too low, if this is recognized at
once. by the thickening up or curling
of the leaf. some of the suckers may be
permitted to grow out. thus acting as

asafety valve In keeping the leaves to
a proper fineness.

In the shade grown tobacco the leaf
should be plucked off as they ripen. ii
is more difficult to tell when these
shade grown leaves mature than when
grown in the open air. The indications
of ripening are somewhat different
from that of tobacco grotvn outside.
but may be known by the brownish col—
or around the edges and occasional
spots on the surface. As the tobacco
is primed or picked off. the leaves
should be kept straight. placing them
back to back. and putting them in
plies. afterwards deposltng them In
baskets lined with burlap. and trans-
porting them to the curing shed. In
the shed they are threaded on astring,
which is fastened to a lath and lm~
mediatcly hung for curing.

BARN CURING.

The manipulation of the barn or our-
ing sheds ls gbverned entirely by the
conditions of the weather and the na-
tueriof the tobacco. So no fixed rule
can be gluen. If the weather'is hot
and dry and the burn filled with green
tobacco. the ventilator should be tight-
ly closed for about three days. by
which time the tobacco should be quite
yellow. A. fine crop In the field is no
guaranty that itwl‘ll be good and mor-
chantable when ready for the market
The tobacco bar us in New England. as
a rule. are very unsatisai‘ctoly. and
must be improved before good results
can be obtained. The average time for
curing tobuco that. has been primed is
from fourteen to eighteen days.

FERMEN’I‘ATION.

Fermentation is perhaps the most
critical period in the cure of tobacco.
and must. be watched with great care.

The temperature of the r‘oom Ill which

‘Ilu bulking ls done should be kept at
it on. 78 to 80 degrees. The birlk should
be turned six or eight days after first
being prlt down. The new method of
fermenting removes any possibility of
rot or damage. The odor is less ob-
jecilonabie and the results are certain
to be safer The process is attended
with so many details that It will be
almost absolutely necessary in every
instance to furnish a government ex-
pelt where the grower has not suffi-
cient confidence in his own judgment

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
Sizing and sorting are also indispcn
sible today on account of the. necessi
ties of the t1ade.Vurious sizes and
sorts are demanded by the several
dealers and It is probable that before
the Sumatra grower disposes of his
Crop arrangements must be made with
the. purchasers in regard to these de
tails. Right here it may he ' i! to

is its wrapper quality and the. grdwer

stages of the work bear in mind that
Ire Is striving for a leaf suitable for
wrapping cigars. The great care In-
volved considerable expense. but when
it is considered that the toanU) is

proper handling It Is easy to see that
the expenditure of money is justified
RESULTS 01" THE EXPERIMENT.

Tire total cost of the shade on the
13 farms on which the experiments
were. carried on ranged from $260.03 to
$403.64 per acre. The average cost
was $286. 70. The cost of fertilizers
ranged from $10. 51 to $64 per acre
the average being 845 3.1 The aver-
age cost of cultivation was $47. 94 and
the average cost of harvesting was
$137. 93. The cost of warehouse work.
including fermentation averaged $139.
29 per acre. The total cost of the
whole for one acre according to the
most careful estimaw of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. varied from
361332 to $849. 56, or an average. of
$657.17 per acre.

SALE OF DANISH WEST INDIES.

The Investigation Into the charges
made In the House relative to the sale
of the Danish West Indies will com-
mence Tuesday morning. when the
special committee appointed to Investi—
gate tho bribery charges will come
mecca to take evidence. The first wit-
ness called will be Niels (iron, 11 Dana,
who has lived ill this country for many
years. Mr. Crop is really at the bottom
of this whole matter. He and Mr.
Christmas. who makes the charges. had
a falling out. and Mr. (iron is now
trying to get even. Just what his ob
ject Is no one here can quite make out.
He is a very peculiar man. and has
been a mystery for several years. He

papers alleging bribery in contraction
with the sale of the Danish West In»

He tried to induce the Republican
leaders to take the matter up. hill the
fake was so transparent that none
would have anything to do with it
The Democrats. however. took up. and
am now trying to make some political
capital out of it. The State Depart-
ment denieswtliat they ever had any
thing to do ltll either Gr on or Christ.-
mas in an official capacity. and the
Danish government has advised our
government that they had nothing to
do with either man. The whole thing
Is looked upon here as the scheme of a
disappointed office seeker or a man

The investigation will however. be
very thorough. but it is expected it will
show up the entire scheme. and will
prove to the satisfaction of all that
there was no bribery in contraction with
this matter. It is not believed that the
charges will have any effect on the sale
of the islands. but that It will go
through as originally contemplated.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

The Connecticut members are daily
In receipt of‘a large number of peti-
tions from labor unions and others.
relative to the exclusion of the Chip-
ese. Senator Hawley today presented
nearly one hundred petitions. repre-
senting every trade in the state. Mr.
Henry on Saturday had about twenty-
five of them. and the other members al-
so have their share. The House com-
mittee on foreign affairs have agreed
upon a bill. which will soon be taken
up and probably passed. It is practi-
cally the same as the present law. ex-
cept that it extends the exclusion laws
to the Philippines and other. posses-
sions of this country. " It was feared
that the Chinese would slip in through
the Philippines or Hawaii. but the new
bill stops all this.

The bill provides that the Philippine
Commission shall adopt the proper
measures to enforce this provision of
