. Bulletin : report of Agricultural Experiment Station, Agricultural and Mechanical College, Auburn, Ala. Agriculture -- Alabama. 42 * other mechanical force,—this requires the combination of judgment and experience, otherwise the tobacco may be- come bruised. All leaf used for cutting purposes and export in Amer- ica is prized in hogsheads; cigar leaf is usually cased or baled. In some tobacco sections about 800 pounds net is packed in one parcel, while in others from 1000 to 1800 pounds. Tobacco in good condition to prize nuist be damp enough to bear the pressure without breaking and crumbling, while it must not be too moist or it will rot in the case. The hands or bundles are packed in the hogshead, or the case in two tiers—when nearly filled, it is subjected to a strong pressure as is shown in figure Figure 27. The tobacco should be cased hard so that the mass will rise but little when the pressure is removed. When to- bacco is prized or cased in the spring, it will commence to "warm up" as the sunmier comes, and will go through a sweat. After "going through a sweat" the leaves take on a darker color, and lose the rank fiavor which they had before. * After much correspondence and delay, the plates for this Bulletin were procured from The American Publishing Company, Hartford, Connecticut, Historical Publishing Company.
