. Bulletin : report of Agricultural Experiment Station, Agricultural and Mechanical College, Auburn, Ala. Agriculture -- Alabama. 154 The term prizing originated in Virginia. In the sense in which it is to be taken here is a local word, which the Vir- ginians claim the credit of creating. It is the act of press- ing or squeezing the article which is to be packed into any package by means of certain levers, screws, or other me- chanical force—this requires the combination of judgment and experience, otherwise the tobacco may become bruised, or crumbled. All leaf used for cutting purposes and export in America is prized in hogsheads ; cigar leaf is usually cased or baled. In some tobacco sections about 800 jjounds net is packed in one parcel, while in others from 1000 to 1800 pounds. To- bacco in good condition to prize must 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 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama.
