Excerpt from Tobacco: How to Cultivate, Cure and Prepare for Market; White Burley Tobacco and Its Culture; Seed Leaf Tobacco and Its Culture In a few days after the plant is topped lateral shoots or suckers will begin to grow from the axilla of each leaf. These must be re moved before they attain the length of two inches or more. This work must be done at least once a week until the tobacco ripens. To permit the suckers to grow will be to diminish the weight and qual ity of the tobacco, making it, when cured, thin and chatty. Suckers appropriate the substance of the leaves to their own growth and ah sorb the Vitalizing sap that should go to the generation of oily sub stances for the thickening and the maturing of the leaves. Simultaneously with the removal of the suckers the horn worm should be sought after and destroyed. There is no enemy so much to be dreaded by the tobacco grower as this insect. The moth of the larva is a dusky brown-winged miller nearly as large as a humming bird.. It may be seen almost any evening in july and August hov ering over and sucking the blossoms of the Jimpson weeds, petunias and other kindred blossoms. This moth deposits a small greenish egg upon the surface of the leaf, which will gradually turn to a light yellowish, color, from which in a short time issues a tiny cream-colored worm not larger than a horse hair in diameter and about one - eighth of an inch'long. It begins to eat as soon as it leaves the egg shell, and unless caught will continue its ravages until fully grown, which requires about three weeks.
