Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Improve the Tobacco Crop of India
India stands second among the tobacco-growing countries of the world as regards the quantity of the crop produced, the first in order of production being the United States of America. From this fact can be realised the great importance of tobacco in the agriculture of this country. The writer, in order to study tobacco in its various phases of agriculture and manufacture, spent a few years in some of the principal tobacco-growing countries, as the United States, Turkey, and Cuba and visited some to bacco factories in those places, besides a few in England, France, and Egypt. In this short paper will be dealt with, as far as space permits, some of the broad principles which have been followed with success in the improve ment of the tobacco crop in those countries, especially the United States, and which are worth trying in India.
