Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saxton's Hand-Book on Tobacco Culture, Being a Complete Manual or Practical Guide The census report of 1860 represents that 420,890,771 pounds of tobacco were grown in the United States in that year, worth, at the low price of 10 cents per pound, $43,000,000, and entering very largely into our foreign commerce. Till within a few years, its culture has been confined to a narrow zone, under a stereotyped impression that, south of that zone, the cultivation was unprofitable, and north of it forbidden by climatic influences. The discovery, now fully confirmed, that it can be grown as well north as anywhere else, has led many farmers, yet inexperienced in the cultivation, to demand some plain, instructive, practical directions on the cultivation adapted to beginners and all others. Hence this manual; and hence our endeavors to make it a complete guide to cultivators of less or more experience, from the beginner upwards, and to adapt it to a wide range of climate, by drawing from the well-considered views of practical men over a wide range of country.
