Raising Tobacco Under Cover.
The State Board of Agriculture
has decided to make an experiment | ¢
of raising tobacco under cover on
the farm of Dr. H. M. Alexander
at Marietta, and a foree of men were
busily engaged last week erecting
poles and scaffolding over which the
canvas covering will be stretched.
One acre of Sumatra tobacco will be
raised in this manner. This is an
entirely new departure here, and the
result will be watched with intense
interest by tobacco raisers generally.
Besides this half acre an equal
amount of land will be deyoted to
the cultivation of Cuban Havana.

New Delivery Wagon.
S. 8. Gingrich, proprietor of the
Empirz Bakery in this place is now
delivering his products in a very fine
wagon which for appearance is un—
surpassed, Although fine feathers
do not always make fine birds, but
just as nice as his wagon looks
drawn by a span of steeds, so good
and healthy is his bread, cakes or
anything baked at his bakery. F.
G. Pennell at Mount Joy deserves
credit for the wagan’s appearance.
