TOBACCO GROWING IN ENGLAND.
• THE RL-BIRTH OF AN INDUSTRY.
··· The Observer of Sept. 12 ways:
The successful tobacco crop ob trined by Mr. A.J. Brandon at Church Crookham, Hampshire, may mark a revival of tobacco-growing in this country. The estimated field from 140,000, seedlings planted this year, Da some twenty acres of light tand unfit for general cultivation, is 7 to 8 cwts per acre, which will yield a reasonable return for the labour of planting, dying and curing the leaf. The varieties grown are suitable for both cigarette and pipe smoking, and Include the White and Red Barley, which is apparently most adapted to the English climate, and therefore calculated to give a sound commer- cial retuti

best soil, plants, manure, and method TANG LLUY & CO. of curing to be employed. No results, however, have up to the present been published. Next year twenty acres are to be cultivated. The seed is raked and forced under steam-heated Eghts in' the spring, and the plants are set out in May for reaping in late summer. The plant is also being cultivated in other parts of the country, but there cannot be more than about 500 acres devoted to it at present.
In 1911 Mr. A. V. Campbell, of the Rethamsted Laboratory, investigated tobacco-growing in Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, and the United States, and submitted a report

plant profitably in England; and it 100,000 DOLLARS
was as a result of this that experi- ments were started The British Tobacco Growers' Society has also carried out experiments in various districts, proving that the crop can be grown successfully on the poorer soils of Norfolk, and take its place in the ordinary rotation of cropping. The Board estimate that if 1,000 acres of British soil unsuitable for the production of wheat were put under tobacco, they would provide profit- able employment for 100 families during at least eight months of the year.
Tobacco growing in this counter is by no means a new industry, It was begun soon after the arrival of the plant from America in the sixteenth century. John Worlodge, in his Systems Agriculturae" of 1675, states that there were planta- tions of many hundreds of acres of
tobacco in Gloucestershire, Devon- shire, Somerset, and Oxford James the First's "Counter blast to Tobacco gave a set-back to the industry, and Cromwell sent troops to tread down the fields," regarding the parious weet, apparently, much as we regard **dope" to-day, But-base ingrati- tude-Parliamentary soldiers are reputed to have smoked at the Protector's funeral to signalise their regained liberty. Further trouble was provoked in Charles the Second's reign by courtiers who desired a monopoly in Virginia plantations. This the crop petered out, and may be said to have been practically non- existent since the early years of the
last century.

mored the ban upon coltivation in||[[NSTANTANEOUS WATER England, but in 1913 the rebate was withdrawn and during the war the duty rose to 8s. 26. on a 10 per cent. basis. In 1919 the present Chancellor of the Exchequer gave one-sixth_of the duty to Empire production and a further 2d. excise allowance to the English product. The time would therefore, appear to be ripe for a rival of the industry, particularly In view of the world shortage of leaf at present and consequent high prices. With the generous advice and help of the Board of Agriculture, and the practical example set by Mr. Brandon, it is not unlikely that others will be induced to take up in the near future the cultivation of a profitable plant whces main advantage is that it can
